Michigan state Sen. Jonathan Lindsey (R) voiced opposition to Democrats’ “ghost gun” ban by suggesting that if such a ban had been in place in the 1770s it would have undercut the American Revolution. The Detroit News quoted Lindsey saying, “If this law existed at the moment of our founding, America itself would not exist.” He expounded by noting that the guns the colonists used to “fight back against the tyranny of the British government” were guns that Democrats would label “ghost guns” today. In sum, Lindsey said “our nation most likely would not exist” if guns without serial numbers…

(Photo by Bettmann Archive/Getty Images)Getty Images West Virginia must be rich, right? All that federal money that flows there year after year. Hopefully readers see the obvious flaw, or contradiction. Government spending is harmful, by its very description. Precisely because it signals the central planning of market goods, services and labor by politicians, it’s economically harmful. Only an economist could believe otherwise.

The Trump effect appears to have spread to Ecuador as authorities there arrested one of their most significant, violent drug lords. The arrest took place this week when Ecuadoran authorities, working in partnership with U.S. authorities, arrested Jose Adolfo “Fito” Macias, the leader of “Los Choneros” Cartel and a man considered to be one of the most powerful and violent drug lords in Ecuador.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that South Carolina is allowed to block Medicaid funding from going to Planned Parenthood clinics in the state. The case was brought by Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and a Medicaid patient after South Carolina Gov.

The abortion organization argued the order violated federal law and contended that Medicaid patients had a right to sue the state under Section 1983, part of the Civil Right Act of 1871, to choose their own qualified healthcare provider.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said “No” Thursday when asked if he would overrule Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, who rejected key Medicaid provisions in the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill.” When reporters asked him about the matter, Thune said, “No. That would not be a good outcome for getting a bill done,” according to the Hill. The outlet said MacDonough “rejected a plan that would cap states’ ability to collect more federal Medicaid funding via healthcare care provider taxes. The move would have collected hundreds of billions in savings, which Republicans were relying on.” Several Republicans wanted the Senate to “sideline”…
