There was a time that doctors were paid in cash or some form of barter exchange. “In 1900, the average American spent $5 a year on health care ($100 in today’s money). No one had health insurance, because you don’t need insurance for something that costs $5 a year.” (NPR)

Catholic nuns are tough. I know first hand. I attended a Catholic school through the 5th grade. Sister Mary Josephine was tough as nails. We had to wear a uniform with an ill-fitted sports-jacket. I was growing like a weed. It was about four inches too short in the sleeves

“Well, when you say it like that, yes, it does sound terrible.” Liberals are fawning over Justin Trudeau’s pledge of $650 million for Planned Parenthood and overseas abortions. I first thought that he must be a billionaire to donate that much money. He didn’t donate it. He stole it from

This is a curious development. According to an article posted by The Gateway Pundit, Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate has been found. Hoax? Fake News? I don’t know. I’m always suspicious of these types of stories. Proceed with caution. I’m only reporting what has been reported: Barack Obama’s brother Malik Obama tweeted

We hear that “taxation is theft,” and much of it is, but it’s also true that a subsidy is theft. The Affordable Care Act is attractive to people because it offers “subsidies” to millions of people who cannot afford healthcare. What is a subsidy? It’s someone else’s money. By the

I don’t know who Leighton Meester is. She’s an actress of some notoriety. It’s OK to be an actress. It’s OK for actors and actresses to express their opinions. What’s not OK is to be an ignorant actor or actress and express ignorant and stupid opinions. I don’t use the

When assaults on Trump’s cabinet members fail to interest readers, the liberal news media turns to attacking him where they think it must hurt most: his food preferences.

A good friend of mine owns numerous pre-schools that actually educate children. Children learn to read before they enter the first grade. They are taught a moral worldview based on God’s Word. Their young lives are transformed by the experience. I have been following Grace Community Schools for more than

It’s shocking that the leadership at the IRS was not taken away in handcuffs. They committed political crimes against American citizens who had opinions contrary to those of the political party in power. We expect this type of abuse of power to be used in the former Soviet Union and

The Democrats have all of a sudden taken an interest in Russia. Where were they when Hillary and Bill Clinton were making big bucks with the Russians when she was Secretary of State? Are we to believe that there was no quid pro quo?: 1. Hillary Clinton approved the transfer

There’s a battle going on in Texas over bathrooms. It doesn’t sound like a big deal to allow men who believe or think they are women to use a woman’s bathroom, but it’s a slippery slope to issues like boys showering with girls, boys who believe they are girls playing on

Venezuela is falling apart. People are losing weight because they can’t find enough to eat. There is $10 billion in the treasury. That sounds like a lot of money, but these days $10 billion does not go very far. The nation is on the verge of collapse. No amount of

Many people in America don’t understand how an economy works. Economics is not difficult to understand. It takes PhDs and other “experts” to confuse us. But these guys could not get away with their economic confusion if so many people didn’t want to fall for their false claims that if

The results of a 35-year study about health are in. If you want to remain healthy, you need to “follow five simple rules – eat well, work out, drink less, keep [your] weight down and never smoke.” It took 35 years to figure this out? We’ve always known that lifestyle,

The Democrats (and some Republicans) are trying to get rid of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General before he even gets started. Democrats know how to fight, obfuscate, and demean. They get away with these tactics because the Republicans refuse to fight back. Republicans like John McCain have been harder on

The Supreme Court’s pro-same-sex marriage decision is having far-reaching implications. Not only a people of the same-sex having their marriages legitimized but anyone who opposes same-sex marriages can be severely punished as has happened in a number of high-profile cases. Not only are people being discriminated against in their personal beliefs and

The Obamas are going to be paid $60 million for two books. Let that sink in. For all their talk about the rich getting richer and the rich not paying their fair share and the poor and middle class getting raked over the economic coals, it hasn’t stopped Barack and

Fake News will most likely become the word of the year. Anytime there is a disagreement about this or that claimed fact or the positioning of a story, fake news will be the culprit. Of course, not every story a person disagrees with is fake news. At the same time, there
