House Condemns BDS, but Will Not Act on Bipartisan Sentiment to Advance Anti-Semitism Legislation
This week the House expressed opposition to the anti-Semitic BDS Movement by passing H. Res. 246, “Opposing efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel and the Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement targeting Israel.” The vote on the resolution was 398-17 with 5 voting present. This is a good first step, but further action is […]
Why doesn’t every persecuted group get a flag at US embassies?
June is designated LGBT Pride Month, and rainbows are displayed on everywhere from T-shirts to restaurant chains to the Uber app. Even with all the gay pride flags, parades, and recognition the LGBT community receives in the U.S. during June, the Left is still not satisfied. They demand that the rainbow flag be flown over U.S. […]

How Trump’s Conservative UN Social Policies Strengthen Foreign Relations
According to recent news reports, the Trump administration has instructed U.S. delegates to the United Nations to replace the term “sexual reproductive health” with those like “reproduction and the related health services” and the word “gender” with “woman” in documents and negotiations. These reports (and a resulting letter from members of Congress) stem from “leaked” State Department memos and warn that striking […]

Senators’ bigotry threatens all believers – The left gets closer to stifling public expressions of faith
Quick — somebody please remind Democratic Senators Kamala Harris (D-California) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) that they’re members of what’s supposed to be the tolerant party. Based on the bigoted questions they recently posed to a judicial nominee, they may think that Democrats are the heirs of the anti-Catholic Know-Nothing party. Sens. Harris and Hirono challenged federal […]

A Statement on Immigration by Penny Nance
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The issue of Immigration is very complicated and fraught with emotional and political landmines. The truth is that both Democrats and Republicans have used the issue to rev up their bases and score points against each other, ignoring the human cost. Americans are aghast at the idea of separating legitimate parents from children. […]
Trump is a Born Dealmaker — Let Him Do His Thing
President Trump is a businessman and a deal-maker — we knew that when we elected him. His administration operates differently from any other previous presidential administration, including in diplomacy, where deals are truly an “art form.” So, it is not surprising President Trump threw protocol out the window when he met last week with Chairman […]

Pray for our Press
The mainstream media suicide continues. It is incredibly sad to watch. It is extremely troubling, especially when you think about the role and purpose it is supposed to serve. This weekend’s coverage of North Korea by many outlets was simply disgraceful. It is now a proven, tangible, quantifiable, irrefutable fact that you cannot trust the […]
Obama-Era State Department Leftovers: Re-direct LGBTI Cultural Acceptance Funding
In the beginning, God made man and woman in His own likeness—two distinct sexes each with unique and special characteristics—and declared His creation “good”. Who could have anticipated that this God-given and inherent identity of gender and sex would be so debated, twisted, and redefined by the liberal left today? Even more incredible is that […]

Memorial Day: Were it Not for America
This morning I attended the small town funeral of a World War II veteran. He served in the Air Force B-24 Bomber Squadron, 8th Air Force, England. Watching the presentation of the flag to his widow, a British war bride (they were married 66 years), I was deeply touched once again by what these brave […]
Our One Motivation
As women who are concerned for America, why do we do what we do? Why support lobbying efforts, write letters to Congress, make phone calls to the White House, and give our money to support these endeavors? And why do we pray? It’s because we know the one true God. We support human life from […]

Concerned Women Through History: National Sovereignty — Deborah, Joan of Arc, and Bev Ehlen
There is a deep valor in standing up for one’s own nation. Believing in a nation’s sovereignty literally means believing in the state’s right to “self-govern.” It is the patriotism that protects one’s own nation against those who seek to oppress or destroy it. We could, at first, think national sovereignty has more to do […]
