The Failure of Socialism in the World
November 5, 2019 by
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill gave one of the best definitions of the failure of socialism. He said the following: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Cuba in the 1950s was a prosperous nation under free market […]
After Complete Failure by the Public Sector in Parkland, Fla., Gun Bill Punishes Private Citizens.

The armed officers on site blew it. Now there is this news: How 911 call system, radio failures hindered police response to Florida […]
AG Sessions RIPS OBAMA Over DREAMER Act: There Is Nothing Compassionate About Failure to Enforce Law! (VIDEO)
September 5, 2017 by
At least 22 times Barack Obama told reporters and constituents, “I cannot pass amnesty through executive action… I am not a dictator.” At least 22 times Obama said he couldn’t do executive amnesty himself.

Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” host Sean Hannity used his opening monologue to react to House Speaker Paul Ryan’s decision not to proceed with a vote on the so-called American Health Care Act, which would have been the opening salvo for Republicans trying to dismantle the 2010 Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. […]
The Perpetual Failure of ObamaCare and Single Payer Healthcare
February 1, 2017 by
ObamaCare and single payer care have repeatedly proven incapable of controlling healthcare costs (Huffington Post).

Germany’s Effort to Integrate Refugees Into Workforce an Epic Failure
September 16, 2016 by
At the height of the refugee crisis that saw a million people flood into Germany, the government asked companies large and small to make an effort to hire the newcomers.

WATCH: Bernie Sanders refuses to answer questions about socialism’s failure in Venezuela
May 27, 2016 by
Facing the first hard question from a reporter he has received during this campaign, Bernie Sanders clammed up and refused to talk about it. Perhaps the fact that the question came from Leon Krauze of Spanish-language network Univision spooked him with the knowledge that the audience has access to Spanish-language media from Venezuela. Edgar Portela […]

April 15, 2016 by
This year’s “Million Student March” — scheduled for Wednesday, April 13 on college campuses across America — appears to have failed miserably because hardly anyone bothered to show up.

Pope Francis’s failure to chide Cuba makes his visit there an empty symbol
September 23, 2015 by
While Presidents Obama and Castro are treating Pope Francis’s first visit to Cuba like a diplomatic reaffirmation of US-Cuba ties, Cuban Americans see it quite differently than a chess move on the world stage. For us, it’s personal. I was born in Cuba, and left with my family in 1961. My college-age sons, who are […]
The horrific results of Obama’s failure in Syria
September 5, 2015 by
One little boy in a red T-shirt, lying face down, drowned, on a Turkish beach, is a tragedy. More than 200,000 dead in Syria, 4 million fleeing refugees and 7.6 million displaced from their homes are statistics. But they represent a collective failure of massive proportions. For four years, the Obama administration has engaged in […]
The Verdict Is Already In; By Almost Any Measure, Obamacare Is a Failure
June 11, 2015 by
We haven’t heard much about Obamacare from the media lately (with the exception of Paul Krugman, who slips a paragraph into every other column — regardless of topic — to tell us how well it’s working). It’s as if both supporters and opponents of the health-care law are holding their collective breaths as they wait […]
Obamacare’s biggest failure
May 4, 2015 by
Health insurance and health care are two different things. America’s politicians, White House speechwriters, and way too much of the news media should be forced to write the above sentence 1,000 times. Because they just don’t seem to understand that getting millions more Americans signed onto to some kind of health insurance is absolutely nothing […]
