Thursday AM ~ TheFrontPageCover
(TeaParty.org) – BLM (Black Lives Matter) has announced their grand scheme to take down “White Capitalism” by … using capitalism? This Christmas season, BLM has announced that they will be fighting back against “white capitalism” by refusing to buy from white-run businesses. Apparently, they don’t see any irony in using their voluntary choices granted to them in a free-market society to opt-out of purchasing goods and services produced by white people.
After Months of Inaction, Senate Republicans Must Seize Chance to Pass Tax Reform
After nearly 11 months of careening from one disappointment to another, Congress is on the verge of a major breakthrough on tax reform. I won’t begrudge you if you’re pessimistic, but past performance does not always indicate future results. And when it comes to the aptly named Tax Cuts and Job Act, there is reason for legitimate optimism.
What Comes After 'Skinny Repeal' of Obamacare?
Republican senators are reportedly working on a so-called “skinny repeal” of Obamacare. While details remain sparse, no one should mistake this last-minute effort for being the culmination of Republicans’ seven-year promise to repeal and ultimately replace Obamacare. The inconclusive nature of the process stems from a fundamental divide within the Republican Party over how much of Obamacare to repeal and what, if anything, should take its place.
Misleading Rhetoric Can’t Mask Failings of GOP Health Bill
“When you look at where we are, there’s over 85 percent of this bill that has universal agreement among Republicans.” That was the message from House Majority Whip Steve Scalise on Sunday. There is just one problem with that assertion: It ignores what is not in the bill. For the past 10 days, Heritage Action for America has repeatedly made the case that the American Health Care Act allows the core regulatory architecture of Obamacare to remain intact.
Capitol Hill’s Misleading Claims on Tax Credits for Health Care
Most conservative health care experts are panning House Speaker Paul Ryan’s health care plan, which would keep in place the fundamental architecture of Obamacare. Rather than listening to constructive feedback from the policy community, however, House Republicans appear to be attempting to throw chaff in the air and ram their flawed proposal through Congress.
Return of Earmarks Would Boost the Ruling Class
Banning congressional earmarks was one of the signature accomplishments of House Republicans over the last several years. It ended years of backroom promises, handshake money exchanges, and hundreds of millions of wasted taxpayer dollars. Unfortunately, a quiet effort is now underway by some House Republicans to erode that ban.
Merrick Garland Would Rule Very Differently Than Scalia, Changing America’s Future
Standing in the Rose Garden yesterday morning, President Barack Obama concluded his speech in typical condescending fashion: “I have fulfilled my constitutional duty. Now it’s time for the Senate to do theirs.” The former constitutional law professor should know better.

Republicans Need Their Conservative Insurgents
If conservative policies are to win, insiders must think about long-term conflict with the Left, and outsiders must participate in the grueling day-to-day. Narratives are essential to politics. They frame our understanding of issues, inform the political affiliations we choose, and help dictate the proper course of action in the service of our political goals.
Congress Shouldn't Buy In to a Cadillac Tax Delay
As Obamacare’s implosion continues to unfold, Democrat lawmakers have been desperate to postpone some of the law’s most adverse impacts on Americans. Now it appears K Street lobbyists have convinced some Republican lawmakers to join their Democrat colleagues by attempting to delay the so-called “Cadillac tax,” which is an excise tax on all plans offered by employers above a specified amount. Why is this?
The Reality That Drove Kevin McCarthy's Exit From the Speaker Race
When Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced he would resign as speaker, conventional wisdom in Washington dictated Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., would be the next to wield the gavel. But for those outside Washington, the inevitability seemed tone-deaf and ultimately unrealistic. As it turns out, they were right. The people’s voice was heard loud and clear by those members that would have had to cast a public vote in favor of McCarthy.
Don't Fix Obamacare
Many Republicans are watching ongoing developments in the King v. Burwell Obamacare case with trepidation. In the abstract, most recognize the opportunity such a case represents to roll back Obamacare and force a debate about real, pro-market insurance reform.
Political Games Endanger America’s Military
As members of the House and Senate prepare to vote on the annual National Defense Authorization Act, it appears the bill will be saddled with extraneous non-defense measures. This threatens the integrity of both defense policy and the NDAA process. This legislative practice–tying together unrelated provisions to secure votes for bad policy–is so frequent that Washington has a nickname for it: logrolling.
