Shalane Flanagan: A Great Role Model for Women
Shalane Flanagan was virtually unknown outside of the elite running world until yesterday, when she won the New York City Marathon, the first American woman to do so in the women’s competition since the late 1970s.

Capitol Hill Brief — Anti-Christian Trend
We’ve talked before about this bizarre, unconstitutional new trend with liberals in Washington imposing a “de facto” religious test for public service.
