Going to War With the Senate Over Taliban Funding

The Senate failed to pass the Republican-led health care bill as the deadline to extend Obamacare subsidies fast approaches. The Health Care Freedom for Patients Act failed to pass in a 51-48 vote after one Republican, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, joined 47 Democrats to vote against it. 51 Republicans voted in favor of the legislation, but the bill ultimately failed due to the 60-vote threshold. Notably, Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana was not present for the vote. The bill would also foster competition and broaden health care.Certain subsidies from former President Barack Obama's landmark health care bill, known as the Affordable Care Act, are set to expire at the end of the year. Notably, these ACA subsidies are the reason Senate Democrats decided to shut down the government in October.Despite facilitating the longest government shutdown in history, Senate Democrats have not struck a deal with Republicans to address health care.

Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Mike Crapo of Idaho, would have allowed these Obamacare subsidies to lapse, instead directing funds to individual health savings accounts. While this bill ultimately failed, other Republican lawmakers have drafted their own legislation to address the impending problem. Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida introduced the More Affordable Care Act, which would also redirect federal subsidies to HSA-style accounts called Trump Health Freedom Accounts. The bill would additionally foster competition and broaden health care options for states by establishing the Health Freedom Waiver Program.RELATED: Republicans race to pass competing health care bill as clock ticks on Obamacare subsidies Photo by Nathan Posner/Anadolu via Getty ImagesThe companion bill to Scott's legislation was also introduced in the House by Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger. At this time, no vote has been scheduled on the bill in either the House or the Senate. Like Blaze News?

Vice President JD Vance has had enough of the nonsensical viral meme that has children saying "six seven."The meme, which children have explained does not have a real meaning, involves simply saying the numbers and then performing a meaningless hand gesture.'Where did this even come from? I don't understand it.'Guided missalThe vice president jokingly expressed his disdain for the meme on X recently, saying, "Yesterday at church the Bible readings started on page 66-67 of the missal, and my 5-year-old went absolutely nuts repeating 'six seven' like 10 times."Vance continued, "And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the first amendment and ban these numbers forever.""Where did this even come from? I don't understand it.

Erika Kirk, the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, joined “The Glenn Beck Program” on Thursday morning. She discussed her late husband’s legacy and the release of his new and final book, which emphasizes the significance of honoring the Sabbath.“My husband’s legacy is not about his murder. My husband’s legacy is what he left behind,” Erika Kirk told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck. — (@) “[Charlie Kirk] writes about the Sabbath and honoring the Sabbath,” Beck stated. “And I have to tell you, if I didn’t honor the Sabbath, I would have been dead a long time ago. ... There’s just not enough hours in the day to do everything. If I didn’t shut down and concentrate on God and my family for one day — total shutdown — I wouldn’t have made it.”Erika Kirk mentioned that her late husband would say that honoring the Sabbath is the only commandment in which those who break it miss out on the blessing, not God.'You don’t know how long you’ll be here. But you know that you have time, and you are in control of your time.'“We live in a day and age where people are trying to separate the Old Testament from the New Testament. You cannot pick and choose portions of the Bible,” Erika Kirk said. She explained that even though her husband’s schedule demanded long hours, he prioritized a day of rest.RELATED: As Charlie Kirk's accused killer prepares for court, judge considers whether to let media cameras roll Erika Kirk.

Are you going to blow through your adrenals, spike up your cortisol levels forever, and just try to wear it as a badge of honor, like, 'I’ll sleep when I’m dead'?” Erika Kirk said. “You don’t know how long you’ll be here. But you know that you have time, and you are in control of your time. And you are in control of how you use your time.”Erika Kirk argued that Christians who claim to be too busy for a break are violating a commandment.RELATED: Joe Rogan says reaction to Kirk assassination shows the US is close to civil war Photo by Trent Nelson/The Salt Lake Tribune/Getty Images“You are involving idols in your life. You’re putting other gods before the one true God,” she remarked.“If you can’t get a full 24 hours in, work it in through your week. Maybe you just sunset your device from 5:00 p.m. up until the next morning,” she continued. “There’s a way for you to be able to do this and not put pressure on yourself, where you’re letting yourself down.”Like Blaze News?

University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore was in custody Wednesday night as a suspect in an alleged assault, only hours after his “inappropriate relationship with a staff member” was exposed and he was fired.“U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately,” the school said in a statement. “Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”“Sherrone Moore got fired yesterday and ended up in police custody because he melted down and crashed out. This is one of the most incredible crash-outs we’ve ever seen,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says on “Fearless.”“What happened to Sherrone Moore? Absolutely amazing, breathtaking. You feel sorry for him. You want to laugh at him. You wonder, ‘How can you be this stupid?’ Well, men have been being this stupid for a long, long time,” Whitlock continues.“Getting promoted to a position of power, authority, and wealth, and using that power, authority, and wealth to have extramarital affairs or to participate in illicit sexual activity. Here’s the thing, though: If he had not lost to Ohio State on Thanksgiving weekend, Sherrone Moore would likely still be the head coach at the University of Michigan,” he adds.And Whitlock isn’t just saying that to say it, but rather explains that Michigan knew about the affair with the staffer.“He’s banging his assistant and traveling around with her, obviously under the auspices of ‘football business.’ There have been pictures floating around on Twitter of Sherrone Moore and her walking around the campus together in Ann Arbor, Michigan,” Whitlock says.“This scandal has been covered up for at least a month, if not a year,” he continues. “The rumors are — and it’s circulated all over social media, and people have been talking about this behind the scenes — that Sherrone Moore impregnated this woman ... talked her into ending the pregnancy, and then commissioned this pay raise for this woman, and now that he’s lost to Ohio State, now it all comes out, and Michigan has their excuse.”Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
