Recently, when it serves him well, the president has resorted to beating on Christians with ridiculously out-of-context scripture references. Well, Mr. Obama, I have one for you. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet...

A Different Rulebook
Monday, Mar 23, 2015

Another week of news cycle finger-pointing goes both ways. The left calls the right hypocrites. The right calls the left hypocrites. Then comes the “I know you are but what am I?” line. Do you feel like you’re back in high school with all of the drama? I took a parenting class years ago where the...

Posturing in Selma
Monday, Mar 9, 2015

The president went to Selma, Ala., to celebrate and commemorate the march across the bridge that helped bring civil rights to the forefront, into the living room of all Americans, and help move it forward.

White House Blasts Texas Judge for Blocking Obama’s Immigration Actions
Tuesday, Feb 17, 2015

White House statement, Feb. 17, 2015: “The Supreme Court and Congress have made clear that the federal government can set priorities in enforcing our immigration laws — which is exactly what the President did when he announced commonsense policies to help fix our broken immigration system.

The Real JV Team
Monday, Feb 2, 2015

Talk about a “haunting comment.” This will go down as one of President Obama’s all-time. Can you imagine how thick the book of “Obama’s Greatest Faux Paus” will be? Or how many volumes? Do I need to list them all, or do we have them memorized as some of us do the Pledge of Allegiance? (Notice...

Brazile’s Bluster
Friday, Jan 30, 2015

Donna Brazile is more than a Democrat; she is a true leftist, and without any argument, a thoroughly loyal supporter of Barack Obama. That is not an allegation; it is a fact, and anyone can review her writings and interview comments to see the proof. To her, Obama has no faults and does everything correctly. Brazile...
