We hear lots of talk-talk-talk about kids dropping out of school. But does anyone really care? Enough to fix the problem?? There is no cause for optimism. If you want children to become educated, they need two skills right off the bat: reading and arithmetic.
Barack Obama really does have a plan for the next four years. When he thought he was speaking off the record to the Des Moines Register the other day, he said he wanted to negotiate a “grand bargain” with the congressional Republicans. It would include spending reductions and tax increases to reduce forecasted federal deficits.
Medicare is shaping up to be a deciding factor in the debate over our nation’s future. As Heritage’s Bob Moffit and Alyene Senger explain in a recent paper, “Why Traditional Medicare Must (and Will) Be Reformed,” the status quo in Medicare is unsustainable and unacceptable due to the program’s structural and financing flaws.
The Obama administration’s two-year amnesty of up to two million illegal aliens has seen the same administration opt to exclude these temporarily amnestied individuals from health benefits afforded through the health reform law. This decision has raised the ire of ethnic advocacy groups and amnesty proponents.1 This Memorandum examines how the administration bars individuals benefiting […]

The graph below shows cancer survival rates by patients, depending on their health insurance status. It was posted last Thursday by Sarah Kliff, who says she got it from Zeke Emanuel, the former White House health advisor who helped shape the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare). I haven’t seen the study and it may not withstand […]
“Sometimes the press will describe us as monitoring hate crimes and so on… I want to say plainly that our aim in life is to destroy these groups, to completely destroy them.” Mark Potok, director of intelligence at Southern Poverty Law Center The homosexual activist group, Southern Poverty Law Center, has attempted to infiltrate the […]

Previously, I wrote about some wondrous developments that are taking place in medical science. Implantable or attachable devices already exist — or soon will exist — that can monitor the conditions of diabetics, asthmatics, heart patients and patients with numerous other chronic conditions. These devices will allow patients and doctors to modify therapeutic regimes and […]
