Justin Haskins & Logan Pike, National Review
“Welfare shouldn’t be about establishing government programs that do something to people, but rather programs that do something for people. Welfare’s only purpose ought to be to lift them from the grips of government dependency into a life of self-sufficiency. Instead, it often shackles the impoverished and encourages them to remain in a state of squalor rather than make the difficult but worthwhile trek to prosperity.” READ MORE

“It is no longer a sanctuary, but a house of horrors, where if you go in you might not come out because someone may decide you can’t come out,” said Twila Brase, president and cofounder of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom. “Hospitals are becoming a scary place, and not for the usual reasons.” READ MORE
Justin Haskins, Western Journalism
“I began to research the prominent website’s leadership. That endeavor revealed that despite the site’s claims of being a neutral source of information, many of those leading Wikipedia have intimate ties to far-left organizations or openly support liberal policies and candidates.” READ MORE

“They say that their meats are free of hormones, and they tout being a restaurant chain that uses only organic foods, but there’s not enough organic corn in the world to accomplish this promise,” said H. Sterling Burnett, a research fellow at The Heartland Institute. READ MORE
