Abysmal failure': Republican takes down ObamaCare during House hearingRep. Clay Higgins speaks out on 'Fox & Friends' after delivering a personal story about how the Affordable Care Act was completely unaffordable for his family. On July 9, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit hinted that it might strike down ObamaCare. If it does, then the U.S. Supreme Court will likely have the last word on the law's fate. And it's unclear whether ObamaCare could survive another date with the high court. If the courts axe ObamaCare, President Trump has promised to replace it with something "far...

Though many people seem to have forgotten, America is at war. We are at war with a global jihadist movement that has been waging an insurgency against Western civilization for decades. One of the enemy combatant organizations in this conflict is the Islamic State (sometimes referred to as ISIS). The Islamic State has either inspired or directed Jihadist attack around the world against America and our allies, from Orlando, Florida, Chattanooga, Tennessee and San Bernardino, California to Great Britain, France and Belgium, all the way to the Philippines.

Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, with tough-talking former sheriff's captain Clay Higgins over Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle in the all-Republican runoff.

An internet sensation, Higgins is often referred to as the "Cajun John Wayne."...

Breitbart News previously reported that it began with Higgins in uniform, flanked by myriad other armed and uniformed law enforcement officers and leaders from the black community.
