Rep. Tom Price, a congressman from Georgia and former physician, was named by Donald Trump to head Health and Human Services. With his political and medical background, he may be the perfect person to reform ObamaCare.
He’s already put forward a workable plan, the Empowering Patients First Act, that would vastly improve our nation’s health care system by repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and replace it with patient-centered provisions that would control costs and expand coverage in the private health insurance markets.
Major elements of Price’s plan have already been put into House Speaker Paul Ryan’s health care proposal. Look for it to move quickly after Trump takes office.
Northern Illinois is getting their first taste of snow for the season. They originally forecast 1-3″, but have revised it to 3-5″. These same “experts” can state unequivocally that the temperature will rise 1/10th of a degree in 200 years so we must throw trillions in tax money to third world toilets to combat “climate change.”
The sad sack Chicago Bears are playing the equally inept San Francisco 49ers. Chicago is 2-9, the 49ers even worse at 1-10. It’s such a sad state of affairs Chicago fans are hoping for a loss to move up in the order for the college draft next May. It looks like the game is being played in a snow globe.

Will Obama pardon Clinton and cement his legacy? Before there’s any more talk of carving out a chunk of Mt. Rushmore for him, or more talk of statues or temples in his name, there is that Hillary Clinton pardon issue.
Would Obama give his former secretary of state a preemptory get-out-of-jail card before he leaves office and turns the White House over to Donald Trump?
Texas Gov: Sanctuary Campuses Will Lose State Funding Texas Gov. Greg Abbot says the state will cut off funding to any public school that declares itself a “sanctuary campus” for illegal immigrants.

Trump speaks with Taiwan’s president, risking China tensions It is perhaps unprecedented for a U.S. president or president-elect to speak directly with a leader of Taiwan, a self-governing island the U.S. broke diplomatic ties with in 1979.
In first comments apparently meant to downplay the significance of the call, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Saturday that the contact between Taiwan’s president and Trump was “just a small trick by Taiwan” that he believed would not change U.S. policy toward China, according to Hong Kong’s Phoenix TV.

Nabisco Now Wants to Talk to Trump On the campaign trail, Trump slammed Nabisco for moving jobs to Mexico, vowing to never eat another Oreo even though he loves them.

How Trump Could Create Millions Of Energy Jobs A 2015 study found the coal industry lost 50,000 jobs from 2008 to 2012 during Obama’s first term. During Obama’s second term, the industry employment in coal mining has fallen by another 33,300 jobs, 10,900 of which occurred in the last year alone, according to federal data.

U.S.—Reports from around the nation Thursday indicate that millions of American citizens were still reeling from the revelation that a prominent Christian couple holds a historically Christian position.
“We’re not saying people can’t be Christians,” a Seattle woman said in a Facebook comment. “This is a free country, after all. But when Christians decide to actually have Christian beliefs about things—I’m sorry, that’s just too far.”
A man in Denver agreed, stating that he prided himself on his deep appreciation of and support for freedom of beliefs and religious tolerance, “so long as Christians don’t publicly hold opinions I find disagreeable.”
“It’s almost as if they take the Bible seriously or something,” he added, shaking his head.
This revelation comes on the heels of a national Gallup poll released earlier this week indicating that over 95% of Americans agreed with the statement, “Christians are allowed to practice their beliefs, as long as everyone agrees with them.”
