The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) has joined the fight against Barack Obama's signature healthcare law. On April 4, the AAPS filed an amicus brief in support of the Commonwealth of Virginia's case against the Affordable Care Act, asking the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit to declare the individual health insurance mandate unConstitutional. In addition, the claim states that the mandate is not severable from the rest of the ACA. Officials from the AAPS argue that the individual mandate in Obamacare violates the Commerce Clause, Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, which limits...

(Reuters) - Support for California Governor Jerry Brown's plan to shut a $27 billion budget gap has eroded since he introduced it in January, a new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California showed on Wednesday.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Monday finally had enough of President Obama's hectoring. (Obama at the National Governors' Association meeting on Monday pronounced, "I don't think it does anybody any good when public employees are denigrated or vilified or their rights are infringed upon.") In a statement, Walker reminded Obama -- and the country -- of some key facts: "I'm sure the President knows that most federal employees do not have collective bargaining for wages and benefits while our plan allows it for base pay. And I'm sure the President knows that the average federal worker pays twice as much...

What’s behind the infamous mugshot smirk of accused killer Jared Lee Loughner? On Tuesday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh ventured a guess, suggesting that Loughner loves the limelight and the “support” he‘s received from members of the Democratic Party following Saturday’s shooting spree.

I thought it time and appropriate to show our support for Sarah and the entire Palin family.

A unified Korea would be closely allied to the US. That's why China won't support it By Praveen Swami “Like lips and teeth,” Mao Zedong said, in response to a question about his country’s relationship with North Korea. Yesterday morning, the Guardian revealed that the Wikileaks cables said China was “ready to abandon North Korea.” In a separate report, the newspaper quoted Chinese diplomats as backing the revelation, saying they wanted an “independent and peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula.” It’s an odd claim, because the cable doesn’t say anything of the kind. The text of the cable – a...

In funding the Palestinian Authority, the US contravenes its own laws; most aid to the PA has has gone to propping up Fayyad. Two weeks ago, a Palestinian from Bethlehem was arrested by the US-financed and trained Palestinian Authority security forces. He was charged with “carrying out commercial transactions with residents of a hostile state.” No, he was not buying uranium from Iran. His purported crime was purchasing wood products from an Israeli community located beyond the 1949 armistice lines. Denied bail by the US-funded PA magistrate’s court in Bethlehem, he has been remanded to custody pending the conclusion of...

Wall Street Still Doesn't Love the GOP Bankers understand that Dodd-Frank has written 'too big to fail' into law. So do the tea partiers. By CHARLES GASPARINO Wall Street's love affair with President Obama is officially over—or so we are told by much of the mainstream media. After enjoying Wall Street's praise (and donations) during the 2008 campaign, Mr. Obama has supposedly alienated the heads of the big banks to such an extent that they've spent most of their campaign cash on Republican candidates in tomorrow's midterm elections. Some are even prodding New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to run as...

Dems dispute report they are pulling back ad support for CarnahanBY JAKE WAGMAN Friday, October 8, 2010 1:58 pm Washington Democrats are disputing a report that indicates they have lost some hope in Senate hopeful Robin Carnahan. According to Hotline on Call -- a website run by the National Journal -- the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has canceled two weeks worth of ad buys in Missouri for the next two weeks. Hotline quotes two Kansas City television stations confirming the move. "Yes, the weeks of Oct. 12 and Oct. 19 have been canceled for the DSCC in our station," Sean...

On September 24 the F.B.I. raided the homes of several leftist activists across the U.S.A. looking for links to foreign terrorist organizations. Most if not all of those raided or questioned were members of the "Fightback" faction of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. Formed from several Maoist factions in 1986, Freedom Road split in the late 1990s two form two distinct organizations of the the same name. The "Fightback" group publishes a newspaper of that name and is strongest in Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Hundreds of Christians from a dozen nations joined together with 3,000 Israelis on Sunday evening in the small Samarian Jewish community of Revava to mark the end of the self-imposed Jewish building freeze in the so-called West Bank. The Christians were in Israel to participate in the annual International Christian Zionist Center (ICZC) Feast of Tabernacles celebration. The theme of this year’s feast was Genesis 22:17, where God promises Abraham that his “seed shall possess the gates of their enemies.” ICZC Director Jan Willem van der Hoeven thought it fitting that his group demonstrate their belief in that passage by...

President Barack Obama is hoping that black voters don't stand on the sidelines when Democrats need all the election help they can get this year.

“Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee – and I personally as the committee’s chairman – strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O’Donnell in Delaware. “I reached out to Christine this morning, and as I have conveyed to all of our nominees, I offered her my personal congratulations and let her know that she has our support.
