The Affordable Care Act (ACA), more commonly referred to as Obamacare, was signed into law by then-President Barack Obama in March 2010. According to the law’s proponents, Obamacare would expand access to affordable health insurance, improve healthcare quality, and reduce costs. Well, the media is finally admitting Obamacare hasn’t made health insurance more affordable — a stunning admission, considering “affordable” is quite literally in the official name of the law. No one can pretend that making health insurance more affordable for Americans wasn’t the supposed point of the law. Yet it seems like each year, health insurance not only costs...

Colorado Democrats are celebrating a new law that will go into effect on January 1 that will extend free Medicaid coverage to illegal migrants who are pregnant as well as migrant children. Dubbed “Cover All Coloradans,” the program opens up state Medicaid funding for prenatal and postpartum care, physical, dental, vision, and mental health care for children, with an initial price tag of up to $51 million in costs to the Colorado taxpayer, according to CBS News. Democrat Gov. Jared Polis’ administration is working with a list of immigrant activist groups to alert migrants that they are eligible for the...

Healthcare, as much as the left hates to admit it, is a market item, like any other good or service. Until the mid-20th century, the provision of healthcare was like any other business; you went to the doctor, you paid him, and that was that. Granted, now modern, high-tech medicine is more expensive, and there is therefore a market for health insurance to spread that cost out. That, too, is a market item. When the government meddles in markets, they almost always screw it up. The Biden administration has never and will never learn this lesson; now, in the latest...

ou can get an idea of how gobsmackingly awful the Syrian Civil War was (is?) and how stupid Germany's immigration policy is with this one simple statistic: nearly one in 20 Syrians lives in Germany. Syria's pre-civil war population of Syria was about 21 million people, and the latest figures show the Federal Republic serving as home to 972,460 Syrian refugees. All that seems to have come to an end along with the Bashar al-Assad regime this weekend. Berlin says it will "freeze asylum processing for Syrian citizens," according to an al-Jazeera report today. "The Federal Office for Migration and...

TTT TELL THE TRUTH. TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF THE CRIMINAL PREDATORS DECIMATING OUR COUNTRY We see the lies of the OLD MEDIA. The illegal invaders who commit crimes in our towns, cities, neighborhoods are tagged with our community and sometimes our state as their origin. Stop the lie. Append FOREIGN NATIONAL to EVERY headline. If the origin is known...that is the descriptor. These people are not us. Not Americans. Call them what they are! Stop the OLD MEDIA from hurting our country and citizens.

The last time MPs voted on the question of assisted dying - nearly three quarters were against it. Nine years later - polling suggests two thirds of the country would back a change in the law. That ratio is mirrored in the number of cabinet ministers who've so far publicly declared their position, with 10 for and five against (only nine have obeyed the instruction from Cabinet Secretary Simon Case not to get involved). But the bill's cabinet opponents have made some of the most high-profile interventions in the debate. Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood are...

If you’ve ever wondered if the uniparty is real, just take a look at what your GOP Senators are up to in their spare time. Take RINO Senator John Cornyn, who’s been deeply involved in a left-wing “disinformation” group that uses the old Russia, Russia, Russia nonsense to run a so-called foreign disinformation department. Elon Musk suspects it’s actually a front to control social media behind the scenes, and he’s probably right. This group, called the Global Engagement Center, claims to work on exposing and stopping disinformation from foreign governments like Russia and China. Too bad no one’s stopping the...

An undocumented migrant accused of murdering nursing student Laken Riley waived his right to a jury trial during a chilling courtroom exchange. Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, stared coldly ahead in Georgia's Superior Court on Tuesday as Judge H. Patrick Haggard approved his request for a judge-only trial. He is accused of killing Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University College, on February 22 as she was out for a run.

Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri announced his support for Sen. John Cornyn of Texas on Friday in the race to replace Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell. At this point, this is the first public endorsement for Cornyn. Cornyn is running to succeed McConnell alongside Republican Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and John Thune of South Dakota. "I'm backing John Cornyn for majority leader," Hawley said in a statement. "In the last two years, nobody has done more to win back the majority than he has."

It was a stroke of good fortune for the Trump campaign that he was able to become a McDonalds fry cook this year before robots pushed all the humans out of the kitchen.

...So far, while these observers don’t appear to have unearthed any evidence of fraud, they are having an impact. ... . This comes as election officials across the nation received death threats following the 2020 and 2022 elections, fomented by former President Donald Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen ... “A lot of people who have left just because it’s not worth it,” he said. “I make $19.64 an hour. I’m not going to be a martyr for $19.60 an hour.” .... Most California Republicans in Congress won’t commit to certifying the results of the presidential election. And...

President Donald J. Trump to Hold a Rally in Gastonia, North CarolinaPresident Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks at a rally in Gastonia, North Carolina on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 12:00PM EDT. Since Harris took office, prices have surged 21.8 percent, costing North Carolina families an extra $1,000 each month. The average Tar Heel household has already lost nearly $28,000 to inflation, spending an additional $3,210 on food alone since January 2021. On top of that, illegal immigration costs North Carolina taxpayers $3.14 billion annually, adding nearly $800 in extra expenses...

A bombshell report from the House Judiciary Committee, exclusively reviewed by Breitbart News, details President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s coordination with the United Nations (U.N.) to “fast-track” migrants into the United States, using American taxpayer dollars. The report exposes how the Biden-Harris administration has worked alongside the U.N., funneling tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars to the international organization, to bring migrants to American communities. In particular, the report accuses Biden and Harris of “teaming up with open-borders bureaucrats at the United Nations” to allow migrants to bypass the southern border when trying to get into...

Nürtingen, Germany – A chilling discovery along the Neckar River has intensified the debate over Germany’s open borders and the dangers citizens face under these policies. A 37-year-old Iranian asylum seeker, who reportedly knew the victim personally, was arrested on suspicion of brutally murdering a 66-year-old German teacher, Isabelle D. The crime, which has left the community shaken, is fueling criticism of Germany’s lenient immigration system, which critics argue allows dangerous individuals to enter and remain unchecked. ... The body of Isabelle D., a dedicated and well-known German language teacher, was found early Sunday morning beneath a viewing platform along...

A Democrat staffer who has worked on campaigns for two vulnerable Ohio candidates was captured on video calling for open borders and labeling those wanting to secure the border as "racist." "Open the f---ing border, I don’t give a s--- who comes in here," the staffer, identified and first reported by Ohio.news as Kevin Oyakawa, said on a video during a conversation with a volunteer earlier this month.

Joe Biden has complained that Elon Musk broke U.S. immigration laws nearly 30 years ago. Over the weekend, The Washington Post published a hit piece complaining that when Musk arrived in the United States in 1995, he was supposed to be on a student visa. However, Musk never actually enrolled in his graduate program and instead focused on developing Zip2, a software company that he eventually sold for $300 million.

Former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson left the Fox & Friends curvy couch gobsmacked by his insistence that, if elected, Vice President Kamala Harris would be tougher on the border than former President Donald Trump. Johnson is a semifrequent guest on Fox & Friends, whose visit almost always elicits a fascinating and respectful conversation (increasingly rare in the current cable news landscape). Before this interview, Fox aired a clip of Harris being asked during CNN’s recent town hall about her administration’s executive order on the border, to which she replied, “I think we did the right thing. But the best thing...

On Telemundo, Kamala admits she wants a pathway to citizenship for illegals She also says that she’s against mass deportations

'I love Kamala Harris,' a young Venezuelan man declared as he rested on the side of a highway in southern Mexico last week. His belongings were heaped at his feet. Hundreds of fellow migrants stretched out along the roadway in both directions. They're headed for the U.S. and nearly all of them have an opinion about who should be America's next president. 'Donald Trump, no,' the Venezuelan man said, shaking his head and dragging his thumb across his throat in a slicing motion. He is one of thousands of migrants – from all over the world – joining a new...

Former president also slams Harris as “lazy” for taking day off from campaign trail, and urges leakers of Israeli intel to be brought to justice. Gaining momentum two weeks from Election Day, Donald Trump is laser focused on voters’ top priority of making America safe and affordable again. But after spending hours comforting families victimized by murder, rape and other border crimes, the former president told Just the News he also is open to creating a federal compensation fund for Americans harmed by illegal immigrants let into the country under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The idea...
