By The Associated Press, Aug 02, 2015 

The Latest on the first Republican debate of the 2016 campaign for president:

___

10:55 p.m.

He opened the GOP debate, and billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump closed it by promising to fix America.

"We can't do anything right," he said, adding that "we don't win anymore" against China, Japan or Mexico on trade.

Trump has been criticized for, among other things, lacking a detailed policy platform.

He was the last to speak at the debate, and Trump closed by promising to strengthen the military, take care of veterans, end Obamacare and make "our country great again."

10:45 p.m.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio earned some of the loudest applause of Thursday's first GOP debate when he offered a zinger hitting Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"Well, first let me say, I think God has blessed us. He's blessed the Republican Party with some very good candidates," he said. "The Democrats can't even find one."

Ben Carson: ‘I Used To Be A Flaming Liberal’

By Genevieve Wood, July 30, 2015 Daily Signal

I had the chance to speak with Dr. Ben Carson recently about the Planned Parenthood scandal, his views on America’s growing debt and something I’ve always wanted to ask a brain surgeon…how do you explain the liberal brain?

You can watch the full video or jump to specific topics via the time codes below:

0:05 – Carson discusses how he hopes the current scandal surrounding Planned Parenthood will cause the black community to explore the organization’s history.

1:02 – As a doctor, Carson is well-known for his views opposing Obamacare, but I asked him what he believes are the other most pressing issues facing the country.ffice.

How Senate Conservatives Plan To Challenge The GOP Establishment

By Rob Bluey, Kate Scanlon, July 27, 2015 Daily Signal

Conservatives in the U.S. Senate are gearing up to challenge Republican leadership today, setting their sights on a plan to repeal Obamacare with 51 votes—a measure that will easily pass if the 54 GOP senators support it.

The move comes after several contentious days of fighting over the GOP leadership’s priorities. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., allowed a vote Sunday to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank despite his stated opposition. It passed, 67-26, but drew a sharp rebuke from conservatives.

“The American people elected a Republican majority believing that a Republican majority would be somehow different from a Democratic majority in the United States Senate,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said. “Unfortunately, the way the current Senate operates, there is one party, the Washington party.”

Nets Too Busy Hyping Parade, Celebrities To Notice Obama Admin. Defying Court 

By Matthew Balan, July, 10, 2015, Newsbusters

On Friday, ABC, CBS, and NBC's evening newscasts all ignored how the Obama administration issued the latest version of its abortifacient/contraception mandate under ObamaCare, which ignores multiple court rulings against it – including the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling in 2014 – and again tries to force religious non-profits to fund drugs that they consider to be immoral. Instead, the Big Three programs all devoted over a minute and a half each to the ticker tape parade in New York City for the World Cup-winning U.S. national women's soccer team.

CBS's Anna Werner pointed out how each of the team members were given keys to the city, and hyped that "they may have already unlocked doors for a generation of girls to come." ABC's Paula Faris touted how the world champions were "proudly taking their victory lap."

SCOTUS: Congress Doesn't Want to 'Destroy' Our Health-Care System? Oh, Yes, It Does!

July 02, 2015 Articles by Larry Elder , Chief Justice John Roberts 0 Comments
By Larry Elder, Jul. 2, 2015

For the second time, Chief Justice John Roberts breathed life into Obamacare and rescued it from the Constitution.

In the first big Obamacare ruling, Roberts called Obamacare a "tax," and therefore lawfully enacted as consistent with the powers of Congress -- and not a violation of the Commerce Clause. Never mind the Obama administration sold Obamacare with the assurance that individuals who failed to purchase health insurance would incur a penalty -- not a tax.

On this latest ruling, Roberts takes the words "established by the State" to mean "established by the states or by the federal government" -- even though the last five words appear nowhere in the law passed by Congress and signed by President Obama.

Obamacare's architect, Jonathan Gruber, admits on videotape the law was written this way by the feds to "squeeze" the states into setting up state-run health care exchanges -- by offering tax credits to the citizens of those states only if their state set up an exchange. No state exchanges -- meaning that state's citizens have to use the federal exchange -- and no tax credits for you. That simple, that clear.

But Roberts argued, "Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them." Thus, Roberts reasoned, the interpretation by the plaintiffs would erode, not preserve and expand, our health-care system.

On the contrary, Mr. Chief Justice -- Obama and the Democrats have every intention of "destroying" our insurance-based health care system in favor of single payer or, as Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., puts it, "Medicare for all."

In 2003, Obama, then an Illinois state senator, addressed an audience at a AFL-CIO conference on civil, human and women's rights: "I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer, universal health-care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its gross national product on health care, cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. ... A single-payer health care plan, a universal health-care plan. That's what I'd like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we've got to take back the White House, we've got to take back the Senate, and we've got to take back the House."

The Las Vegas Sun headline was blunt: "(Sen. Harry) Reid (D-Nev.) Says Obamacare Just a Step Toward Eventual Single-Payer System." In an August, 2013, Las Vegas PBS-TV appearance, the then-Senate majority leader said we need to "work our way past" our insurance-based system: "What we've done with Obamacare is have a step in the right direction, but we're far from having something that's going to work forever." Asked whether Obamacare is just a stopgap on our way to that type of system, Reid said, "Yes, yes. Absolutely, yes." He added that he pushed for it in 2009: "We had a real good run at the public option. ...Don't think we didn't have a tremendous number of people who wanted a single-payer system."

Howard Dean, the former Democratic National Committee chair, also describes Obamacare as just a step toward the elimination of our insurance-based system in favor of single-payer. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Dean talked about the health-care proposals of Democratic candidates Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and compared their proposals to that of Republican Sen. John McCain: "I think while someday we may end up with a single-payer system, it's clear that we're not going to do it all at once, so I think both candidates' health-care plans are a big step forward. Certainly compared to Sen. McCain, who represents a big step backward."

Does anyone really believe the Obamacare promises of quality, accessibilityand low costs can be achieved while retaining our insurance-based system? Obamacare promised to add 30 million newly insured to Medicaid; force insurers to accept those with pre-existing illnesses; raise no taxes on the middle class to pay for it; force insurance carriers to allow "children" under the age of 26 to remain on their parents' policy; allow you to keep your doctor and your plan -- if you chose to; disallow carriers from "discriminating" against men and women in setting prices; save the "typical family" $2,500 in premiums; and not "raise the deficit by one dime."

Even under Obama, there is no such thing as a free lunch. To pay for these government-imposed expenses, insurance carriers are seeking higher premiums while imposing higher deductibles and co-pays. Since health care is a "right," since Obamacare was to be "affordable" and since the greedy, nasty insurance companies seek profits, the left will then say, "We have no alternative. Medicare for all!"

So, yes, Mr. Justice Roberts, Democrats who passed Obamacare without a single Republican vote absolutely seek "to destroy" and "not improve health insurance markets." This is all according to plan.
