Hamas Tunnels Unnerve Both Sides of the Border


Hamas is busy tunneling its way back toward Israel, and Palestinians who live over the passageways fear they will bear the cost of the eventual Israeli response.

When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
