Common Core, the initiative that claims to more accurately measure K-12 student knowledge in English and math, also encourages children to step up their “critical thinking.” That didn’t stop Education Secretary Arne Duncan, one of Common Core’s salesmen, from telling a group of school superintendents last week that it is “fascinating” to see opposition to […]

Obama has been in damage-control mode since: October 1. : The release of his signature legislation, the misnamed Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), has been disastrous. : Bureaucratic incompetence is on full display as the website slows, freezes […]

Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John D. Doak has determined that President Obama’s administrative fix to the Affordable Care Act isn’t needed in Oklahoma because consumers in both the individual and small group health insurance markets were offered early policy renewals. “Thankfully, we worked with the insurance industry and stayed ahead of the curve on this latest […]

Frankly, I’m sick of the dishonesties that gush from President Obama’s mouth.
