How else to ... → Read More

Obamas Buying $15 Million Mansion; Socialists AOC and Bernie Oddly Quiet
Someone needs to alert Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and the rest of the socialists in this country that leftist fan-favorites Barack and Michelle Obama will soon have new digs.

Canadian Health Care Refused to Pay for Disabled Father's Care, but Happily Paid for His Assisted Suicide
The well-known platitude "but for the grace of God go I" played in my brain while reading the tragic story of a disabled Canadian father who chose to end his own life, leaving behind an 11-year-old son.
