Capitol Hill Brief — Trump Administration’s Support for Israel

  It’s been refreshing to witness the Trump Administration’s unabashed commitment to support Israel. And I’m so grateful I got to thank the president at a dinner. Their latest action involved withdrawing from UNESCO, citing their unquestionable anti-Israel bias. The U.S. owed $550 million to it, and it contributed annually about 70 million, which compromised […]

Kansas Supreme Court to Decide on Abortion

Remember the Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act that Gov. Brownback signed into law in 2015? As we expected, it has been challenged all the way to the state Supreme Court. During this case’s journey through the courts, one of the liberal activist judges, Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks, declared that the Kansas […]

Capitol Hill Brief — U.N. Moves Against Israel

  Believe it or not, the United Nations has earmarked millions of dollars for Palestinian efforts to pursue international legal action against Israel over the next several years.  The U.N. said it “will also strengthen its own advocacy on the impact of Israeli violations.” Both President Donald Trump and U.N Ambassador Nikki Haley have shown […]

Penny continued […]

What happened when the left thought I would be joining the Trump Administration

A couple of years ago, while appearing on CNN with Van Jones, former Obama Administration Special Adviser for Green Energy, he shared something personal. In a moment of transparency, the Yale-educated lawyer said that the public smearing he received during his tenure as the Green Energy Czar “felt like someone ripped off [his] face and […]

The Adoption Tax Credit is saved!

Trump, Senate Laying a Strong Foundation for the Third Branch

Although you may be frustrated with the U.S. Senate’s work in other areas, on judicial nominations they are working hard and achieving much progress under the leadership of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). Five judicial nominees in four days last week is no small feat, given that Democrats are […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Broken Confirmation Process

  The rate of confirmations for President Trump’s judicial nominees leaves much to be desired. Senate leadership is doing everything it can to get the nominees through the process, but Democrats are using every tactic available to obstruct these well-qualified nominees.  Some have stoop so low as to object to a nominee’s Christian faith. Here […]

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. And she did it by running a minute faster than the second-place finisher, Kenyan Mary Keitany. If that doesn’t […]

Capitol Hill Brief — On Christian Dogma

  Last week, I stood up against the attacks on Judge Amy Barrett of the Seventh Circuit. She was shamefully attacked for her faith.  Here is a clip of what I said: [Audio Clip] Penny Nance: The “Christian dogma” that a few find appalling embodies the best of humanity. It calls us to love others […]

Please Tell Me You Are Not Trying to Get Rid of the Adoption Tax Credit

Getting rid of the adoption tax credit is a bad idea.  Trying to do so during National Adoption Month is just unthinkable. But that is exactly what the GOP is considering as they debate tax reform. It’s a stark contrast.  President Donald J. Trump’s proclamation of November as National Adoption Month is a beautiful display […]

For America (Day 85)

Capitol Hill Brief — The Videos are Real

  The gut-wrenching videos of Planned Parenthood workers joking callously about the selling of aborted baby parts are real.  I know Big Abortion has spent a lot of money to try to manipulate popular opinion, saying they were “heavily edited,” but they are real. Here is Holly O’Donnell, who worked as a procurement technician for StemExpress, […]
