Healthcare / Obamacare:
Fearing voter backlash, Republicans bullish again on ObamaCare repeal
“With Republicans’ ObamaCare overhaul sidelined on Capitol Hill, the Trump administration is vowing to use its full legal authority to “immediately” help Americans and mitigate the health care law’s “harmful effects.”
That means that as congressional Republicans regroup on strategy for pursuing future legislation, it will fall to Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and other administration officials to pursue changes to the Affordable Care Act for now. These potential changes would not be as sweeping as those contained in the failed GOP legislation, but range from cutting government costs to providing relief from certain requirements to customers and insurers.” More here. With ObamaCare overhaul sidelined, can Tom Price go it alone?

Islam:
ANN ARBOR, MI – “The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, today announced that it is representing two Chatham, New Jersey mothers who are being pilloried by their community. Their crime: appearing on Fox TV’s Tucker Carlson Show to voice concerns about Islamic indoctrination of Chatham Middle School seventh graders.”
“Astonishingly, seventh graders in this public school are taught: “May God help us all find the true faith, Islam.”
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented: “The promotion of Islam is worse than what the mothers presented to Tucker Carlson. After viewing one of the videos which the seventh graders were directed to watch, I can’t imagine any objective person saying this is not Islamic indoctrination. Clueless school administrators across our nation are allowing this type of indoctrination to take place and it’s up to vigilant parents to stop it. Libby and Nancy should have been praised, not pilloried.” More here. Chatham Middle School Students Are Taught that Islam is the True Faith; Two Mothers Pilloried for Making It Public; Must See Video

Opinion / Commentary:
Matt Walsh: Newsflash to those attacking Mike Pence — all healthy marriages have boundaries
“I’m not just trying to be provocative here. This is a crucial point. Christians must understand that it is the Devil himself we are battling, not just Democrats. What makes this thing we call “modern liberalism” so dangerous is that it is not modern at all. It is nothing but the contemporary manifestation of an ancient evil. It is the current label we’ve given to the religion of self-worship, but this religion has existed on Earth ever since the fall of Man, and it originates with the very first being in the universe who decided to place himself above God.” More here. Christians, our true battle is spiritual, not political
