When Hurricane Harvey hit Texas flooding many areas and stranding Texans, one police officer made headlines with a blurry photo. Now, liberals are… as you guessed it… enraged.

A police officer named Jack McCarty in Aransas Pass, Texas, just outside Corpus Christi, risked his life during the flood to save an American flag. A photo captured the moments, showing McCarty wearing a yellow raincoat, riding a bicycle, with the flag raised high above his head.

The photo was posted on the Aransas Pass Police Department’s official Facebook page and many flocked to the posting to leave comments of support and pride.

“While some dishonor and desecrate her, APPD Ofc. Jack McCarty will stop at nothing to honor and save her,” the caption on the post read.

Many conservatives made remarks about how proud they were to see this photo. It’s a beautiful image and should be hung in a museum somewhere, but more than that, it represents hope and triumph. The courage of the American spirit.

“This is what pride in your country looks like. A lot more of this kind of spirit is needed,” a user named Chris Weber wrote.

User Davis Millush commented on what it truly means to protect and serve. “Please give my sincerest respects to Officer McCarty. His decision to respect our flag in those conditions says more about his character than any words on a performance evaluation. We, as Americans, are bessed to have men and women like Officer McCarty serving and protecting our families. Our prayers are with you for your safety in the storm’s aftermath.”

However, the liberal naysayers could not see the beauty, pride, or strength in the photo and instead expressed only anger.

“So a piece of cloth is more important than the stranded elderly and children? I see his priorities… a shame,” Justin Skinner wrote.

Geoff Goldwater commented on the priorities of the officer as well saying, “I think that being in this time of need for your residents amongst all the other Texans in need, it’s quite shameful for you to politicize a photo. SMH.”

Anyone in their right mind can see what this photo stands for, but the liberal agenda is to always attack and tear down anything patriotic. You wonder… do they even like their own country?

At any rate, we salute this officer, and we stand proudly and salute the flag of the United States of America.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reported that 1,476 counties, over 45 percent of counties nationwide, will only have one health insurer on the Obamacare exchanges next year.

The CMS projected that more than 2.6 million Obamacare exchange participants could have only one health insurer in 2018.

The CMS stated that the Obamacare exchanges will no longer have any counties without any insurers. As of August 10, the CMS revealed that 17 counties would not have any insurers. Now, the number of counties with one health insurer has increased from 1,409 to 1,476 counties.

Breitbart News reported that Obamacare continues to experience a “death spiral.”

Prominent mainstream news publications, including the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, have repeated the Democrats’ talking points that President Donald Trump’s hesitancy on Obamacare subsidies has led to “policy uncertainty” that caused health insurers to hike rates.

The Investor’s Business Daily, however, believes that Medica and other health insurers want to abuse their dominance in Obamacare exchanges to raise premiums and blame Trump instead.

The Investor’s Business Daily editorial charged, “Not surprisingly, Medica has used its newfound monopoly status to push for increasingly higher rates, while trying to pin the blame on President Trump for the increases.”

Obamacare continues to implode as the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN) plans to hold hearings with ranking member Patty Murray (D-WA) on ways to stabilize the Obamacare exchanges.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum continues to work with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) on a comprehensive plan to repeal and replace Obamacare by block granting health care to the states.

President Donald Trump has recently criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for the upper chamber’s inability to pass legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. Trump also suggested that the Senate should also switch to a 51-vote majority to make it easier to pass necessary legislation such as repealing and replacing Obamacare, tax reform, and funding for the southern border wall.

The only problem I have with Mitch McConnell is that, after hearing Repeal & Replace for 7 years, he failed!That should NEVER have happened!

If Senate Republicans don’t get rid of the Filibuster Rule and go to a 51% majority, few bills will be passed. 8 Dems control the Senate!

Stockton University in Galloway, New Jersey, announced its decision this week to remove a bust of its namesake, Richard Stockton, from the campus library.

A bust of Richard Stockon, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was temporarily removed from the campus library at Stockton University last week after concerns were raised over Stockton’s slave owner past.

In a message to the campus community, Stockton Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Lori Vermeulen explained that the bust was removed so it could be transferred to an environment in which it can be supplemented with a plaque that explains its historical context.

Stockton University President Harvey Kesselman has asked the administration to establish a committee dedicated to exploring Richard Stockton’s life. The information gathered via the committee will be put towards a Richard Stockton exhibit on campus that will display the bust and other historical items from his life.

“We are hopeful that through the development of the Richard Stockton Exhibit we will demonstrate that difficult issues can be dealt with in a way that strengthens and unites us,” Kesselman said in a statement to the Stockton community.

Some students are questioning the removal of the bust, arguing that its presence was not a point of contention amongst the Stockton University community. “I really never heard anyone make a comment or complaint about Richard Stockton. I do know he was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and otherwise not much is known about him. But I think removing the bust is an overreaction,” argued Dylan Perry, a senior at Stockton.
