Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!

Led Zeppelin (1969). I just bought the Deluxe Edition (2014) of this album on compact disc. It's remastered by Jimmy Page. I was 11 years old when the album was released on 12 January 1969.

As long as baseball has existed, little boys have aspired to be professional players. Some have had that dream come true, and others have not.
But baseball continues to exist thanks to players who have made it fun and exciting, from Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Stan Musial to David Ortiz, Lorenzo Cain, Salvador Perez and Eric Hosmer.
My grandson was lucky enough to travel to Surprise, Ariz., to see his Royals at spring training. He loved every minute of it, except for one.
I want to thank Cain for being so gracious about signing for these little kids. Manager Ned Yost, Cheslor Cuthbert and Drew Butera also wowed them.
George Brett, I want to thank you for showing kids how not to act when they grow up and become major league players. You provided the only unpleasant minute of a dream trip for an 11-year-old.
If I had been there and had seen how you looked at my grandson and threw that ball at him, I would have thrown the ball back at you.
Your negativity and unfriendliness to these kids will never be forgotten. Talk about a spoiled and overrated player.

ObamaCare will explode and we will all get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE. Do not worry!

As you know if you have been reading this blog for the past few months, my main concerns in getting Donald Trump elected president were (1) keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House and (2) getting law-abiding Supreme Court justices. This first of these has been accomplished and the second is well on its way to being accomplished (beginning with Neil Gorsuch). Although I have views on other issues, such as the border wall, health care, tax reform, and national defense, these were my main concerns. If President Trump gets anything else done, it's gravy.
I was ambivalent about the Trump-Ryan health-reform bill, which was pulled this afternoon before reaching a vote. On the one hand, I want ObamaCare to go down in flames; but on the other hand, I don't want ObamaCare Lite (as it's called). Apparently, the House Freedom Caucus prevented Trump and Ryan from getting their bill passed. Look at the membership of the Freedom Caucus. Thirty members, 29 of them white males and one of them an Hispanic male. Why are so few women and minorities attracted to libertarianism?

It is now obvious that President Trump’s entire philosophy is bait and switch. This way he can say anything about anything and see what the reaction is.
Unfortunately, too many people took the bait during the campaign and continue doing so now. These people are called “suckerfish,” and they fell for it hook, line and sinker.
