Obama Officials In 2010: 93 Million Americans Will Be Unable To Keep Their Health Plans Under Obamacare Avik Roy, Contributor Forbes On Wednesday, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius testified before Congress about the continuing issues with the rollout of Obamacare’s health insurance exchanges. “Hold me accountable for the debacle,” said Sebelius. “I’m responsible.” I attended the hearing, and I was struck by the scope, scale, and depth of the health law’s problems, problems that far exceed any one political appointee. But Obamacare’s disruption of the existing health insurance market—a disruption codified in law, and ...

President Obama has unveiled Operation Unicorn to magically bring the embarassingly disastrous website to life before next year. And now he is revising history as lies of the Obamacare sales pitch are clear, the promises are broken, and now the promises are being wordsmithed out of history and existence. Now the promise is that you will keep the benefits and protections that the Affordable Care Act has put in place. So Obamacare took away your doctor and took away your insurance.

HOUSTON (AP) — Bum Phillips, the folksy Texas football icon who coached the Houston Oilers during their Luv Ya Blue heyday and also led the New Orleans Saints, died Friday. He was 90. "Bum is gone to Heaven," son Wade Phillips tweeted Friday night. "Loved and will be missed by all — great Dad, Coach, and Christian." Phillips died at his ranch in Goliad. Wade Phillips is the Houston Texans' defensive coordinator. Born Oail Andrew Phillips Jr. in 1923 in Orange, Phillips was a Texas original in his blue jeans, boots and trademark white Stetson — except at the Astrodome or any other dome stadium because he was taught it was disrespectful to wear a ...

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson said Obamacare is the worst thing to happen to America "since slavery" while speaking at the 2013 Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. "You know Obamacare is really I think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery," Carson said Friday. "And it is in a way, it is slavery in a way, because it is making all of us subservient to the government, and it was never about health care. It was about control." Carson was recently hired by Fox News as a contributor. He served as the director of pediatric surgery at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center for 39 years. Carson has made other shocking comments in the past, ...

Because They Hired Political Cronies, Not Internet Native Companies To Build Itfrom the you're-doing-it-wrong dept There's been plenty of talk lately about just how screwed up the launch of Healthcare.gov has been. While any massively large-scale internet launch is likely to be plagued by some problems, the level of disaster on this particular project has been quite impressive. This has led some to wonder why this happened, especially given the reputation of President Obama's "web-savvy" campaign team. The answers aren't too hard to figure out, of course. First ...

In a discussion with Ted Cruz on CNN's State of Union, Candy Crowley refused to acknowledge that the House has sent eight bills to the Senate to fund vital services. When Ted Cruz gave this information to Crowley, she simply responded that Harry Reid refused to let the Senate vote on the eight bills because he would say he was being blackmailed. Prior to the discussion, Crowley elaborated (advocated?) for a plan where the Senate and House would fund a "clean" continuing resolution for six weeks and have a cooling off period. CRUZ: I agree with President Obama. There are eight bills that the House has passed that are piled up on Harry Reid's desk. Harry Reid will not ...

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin blasted the Republican establishment's contempt for and destructive behavior toward the Tea Party during the current budget showdown with the Obama administration. Palin told Breitbart News that these establishment financiers cannot relate to the average American worker and are throwing a "fit" because Wall Street knows they are in a whole new ballgame where their influence is diminishing. Palin was responding to an article by David Freilander in Thursday's Daily Beast in which prominent Republican establishment financiers showed disdain for the conservative grassroots while being unable to ...

The move that every football observer knew had to be inevitable may actually be happening. Tim Tebow will receive “a shot” to play quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Terez Owens reports. The Jags, who are completely awful, just need to make a move to attract some fans to their games and to sell a few jerseys. Many believe that Tebow, who was cut be the Patriots prior to this season, would bring back immediate interest in the teal and black. “The NFL’s worst team may just be throwing a Hail Mary,” Owens writes. “According to our Jaguars leaker, the team is going to give Tim Tebow a shot to recapture his dream of playing quarterback once again. “Our ...

Well, well, well……. Seems like old Lindsey’s getting his knickers all twisted up. Faced with growing opposition at home, including three already announced primary opponents, the senator is instead doubling-down; blasting Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, and saying that anyone who causes a government shutdown will be his “enemy for life.” His use of the word “enemy” is rather curious, BTW…but that’s for another time. http://blogs.rollcall.com/wgdb/graham-those-responsible-for-government-shutdown-will-be-enemies-for-life/ Where do I sign up?

Sen. John McCain does not have a high opinion of the freshman Republican from Texas, Sen. Ted Cruz. An adviser to Mr. McCain told GQ that “He … hates Cruz” and said that the Arizona Republican is “just offended by his style.” Less than 10 months into his first term in office, Mr. Cruz has been no shrinking violet on Capitol Hill, where he has emerged as one of the leading voices against Obamacare. He is now calling on his colleagues to reject any spending bills that has funding for the 2010 health care law — a move that some Republicans warn could hurt the party. Mr. McCain, meanwhile, has become a lightning rod for tea party activists who see him as the ...

Rand Paul is standing with Ted Cruz. The Kentucky GOP senator will oppose a vote to end debate later this week on a House-passed spending bill, which includes a provision defunding Obamacare, a spokeswoman said. Cruz (R-Texas) is urging Republican senators to halt the bill procedurally later this week to prevent Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) from removing the Obamacare provision and pushing a clean spending bill back to the House this weekend. Paul also joined Cruz on the Senate floor Tuesday as Cruz mounted an hours-long speech in opposition to the Affordable Care Act. Paul knows a little something about such an effort: He filibustered CIA nominee John Brennan for nearly 13 hours ...

NAPA, Calif., September 17, 2013 (LifeSiteNews) – Minneapolis Archbishop John Nienstedt has again angered pro-abortion and homosexual activists with remarks he made at a Catholic conference in California last month in which he referred to pornography, homosexual acts, contraception and abortion as “evil forces” used by Satan to destroy natural family relationships and destabilize civilization. “Today, many evil forces have set their sights on the dissolution of marriage and the debasing of family life,” Niendstedt told his Catholic audience. “Sodomy, abortion, contraception, pornography, the redefinition of marriage, and the denial of objective truth are just ...
