Republicans are often accused of initiating war on cultural issues and “taking away rights.” But it’s congressional Democrats who are using issues like abortion and same-sex marriage for purely political purposes and, in effect, attacking religious liberty. The latest is an effort by Senate Democratic Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) to bring legislation to the […]

This is your reminder that May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. We do not need or want more reminders.  The latest reminder is another horrific and senseless snuffing out of young and innocent lives by a deranged person, this time at an elementary school in deep southwest Texas. It was followed by the predictable […]

Sen. Tom Cotton Hits the Right Chord on Ukraine

It’s been interesting to hear pundits argue various interpretations and strategies about the situation between Ukraine and Russia. For sure, no serious person thinks the U.S. should go to war with Russia over Ukraine. Bolstering the U.S. and NATO presence near Russia’s border (think Poland and the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) is another matter, along with helping Ukraine defend itself. Those efforts are underway, albeit belatedly.

On one end, you have former President George W. Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio adviser Max Boot. He’s now a Washington Post columnist and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Boot thinks we should supply Ukraine’s army and, when it loses to Russia, support a guerrilla war not unlike “Charlie Wilson’s War” in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan.

Morning radio talker Hugh Hewitt also writes an opinion column for the Washington Post, one of only two bonafide conservatives (the other being Marc Thiessen) to do so. I am a great admirer of Hugh, despite being an Ohio “homer” and incessant Cleveland sports fan. His columns are a nice extension of his thoughtful, intelligent, […]

Who Is Robert Mueller? Louie Gohmert Fills Us In.

I think that this is good and necessary background for us all to know. This is from “The Hugh Hewitt Show” last Friday. Rose Tennent is filling in for Hugh and interviews Rep. Louie Gohmert. I am struck by the recusal of AG John Ashcroft. It seems Comey and Rosenstein are playing from the same playbook. Gohmert is initially talking about how Patrick Fitzgerald was selected during Bush’s tenure.

Here’s the audio link for this short excerpt (you don’t have to join Dropbox to listen to it):

And so he [Comey] convinces John Ashcroft to recuse himself that gives him the power to choose his close friend [Patrick Fitzgerald] and godfather of his child and then the day that he took office not only did Fitzgerald know, but Comey surely also knew, that Richard Armitage was the one who leaked. There was no need for an investigation yet they colluded and spent millions and millions of dollars to investigate what they knew was already solved.
