This illustration provided by Ardian's Symplicity Catheter System shows the Symplicity Catheter System, which delivers low-power RF energy to deactivate the renal sympathetic nerves. A study reported Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2010 at the American Heart Association conference in Chicago says that some people who couldn't get their blood pressure under control despite taking a fistful of pills every day found relief from an experimental treatment that shows promise as a possible permanent fix for the condition. The treatment uses radio waves to zap nerves near the kidneys that fuel high blood pressure. It is done through a tube pushed into a blood vessel in the groin, much like the angioplasty procedures for opening clogged heart arteries. (AP Photo/Ardian's Symplicity Catheter System)

Don't count on Putin to cease fire in Ukraine

By Frank J. Gaffney Jr.

Color me skeptical. We are told that four nations have just reached an agreement to effect a new cease-fire in the war Russia is now overtly waging against Ukraine.

States find out why Medicaid expansion is bad idea

By Nick Novak

I hate to say "I told you so," but in this case I actually did. Back in August, I wrote a column for this paper calling on governors to say no to the massive boondoggle that is Obamacare's expansion of Medicaid.

Obama affirms terrorist expansion every time he uses the term 'ISIL'

By Christine O’Donnell

I nearly fell off the treadmill in laughter as I watched respectable foreign policy analysts struggle to keep a straight face as they defended President Obama's weak excuse for snubbing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
