In addition to leftist (as opposed to liberal) ideology, do you know what else is destructive of American society? Crony capitalism. It can begin when you run as a conservative to get elected in a conservative area, in an attempt to make a career out of holding public office. Next, we can have what appears...

ObamaScare
Friday, Mar 24, 2017

Wednesday, Mar 15, 2017

Having practiced pharmacy for many years, I often find myself talking to people about their Medicare prescription drug, or Part D, plans. People with Part D usually share their thoughts about a favorite pharmacy or pharmacist, or how their plan offers medicines at affordable prices. Sometimes they report...

Obamacare Lies
Friday, Mar 10, 2017

The mainstream media walk hand in hand with the left in their aim to invoke fear into Americans concerning the Obamacare issue now that Republicans are in the majority.
