Capitol Hill Brief — Israeli Anthem
I hope you realize that anti-Semitism is alive and growing in some parts of the world. Did you see the recent video of Israel’s Tal Flicker who won the gold medal in judo at a recent event in Abu Dhabi? Flicker took his place atop the winner’s podium, gratefully accepted his gold medal, and […]
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 […]

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.

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 — The Videos are Real
The gut-wrenching videos of Planned Parenthood workers joking callously about the selling of aborted baby parts are real.

Here is Holly O’Donnell, who worked as a procurement technician for StemExpress, […]

Even the media can’t deny the numbers
CWA is committed to fighting for life and will never back down or be intimidated by big-money organizations such as Planned Parenthood. The fight to shift our hard earned tax dollars (half a billion to be exact!) from Planned Parenthood to Federally Qualified Health Clinics is as much a PR battle as it is a […]
What’s the latest on tax reform?

Capitol Hill Brief — Broken Judicial System
We’ve been highlighting this week the horrible case of an illegal immigrant minor that was able to get a U.S. court to force the Trump Administration to facilitate the abortion of her unborn baby.

Capitol Hill Brief — Celebrating Abortion
I told you yesterday about the shameful case of an illegal, pregnant minor that got the D.C. Circuit to force the U.S. government to facilitate her abortion under threat of law.
