    Now that Donald Trump has selected Sen.

    The more government “shutdowns” that take place in recent years, the more people realize they’re not really shutdowns. They’re merely called that to make the other political party look bad.

    If you raise money for a nonprofit, but don’t finish all of the projects you were raising it for, you could go to prison for 10 years. This is no exaggeration. This is what happened to former Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas. Earlier this month, the Fifth Circuit Court of...

    It sounds good, eliminating “surprise” medical bills that patients sometimes receive from hospitals and providers when their services aren’t covered by insurance.

    As the left becomes more intolerant, its various factions are encountering more conflict with each other.
