On Little Alfie

For three days now, I’ve sat down to write this column. Words are hard to find when faced with an injustice so egregious. But this knot on my throat just will not go away, so I must plow through and join the chorus rallying to his defense. Little Alfie Evans deserves that each and every […]

Stormy Daniels And Her $130,000 Donation To Planned Parenthood

Lest her calm, cool, and collected 60 Minutes interview give the wrong impression, it’s important for us to remember that Stormy Daniels is in no position to establish herself as a role model for women and young girls. Having received some backlash for accepting what has been characterized as hush money, Daniels is now trying […]

“What are we doing about Planned Parenthood now?”

One of the most common questions I get from grassroots advocates, supporters or even other D.C. folk is, “What are we doing now about Planned Parenthood?” Although we have proven we can get Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid reimbursement funding redirected to better healthcare providers through a House vote, the Senate makeup is not changing right now, […]

The Explosive Nature of Abiding

Sometimes we misinterpret Jesus’ familiar call for us to abide in Him found in the 15th chapter of the Gospel according to John. Abiding seems like a tranquil, passive, resting sort of call. And it is, in some respects. Jesus repeatedly calls us to this rest, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and […]

The Anti-Christian Religious Test Continues

You can add another chapter to the left’s escalation of anti-Christian bigotry. Right on the heels of bigoted attacks against Russell Vought and Amy Barrett, the left is once again imposing its unconstitutional religious litmus test against judicial nominee Wendy Vitter, who has been nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of […]

True Feminism: The Third Choice

Reading articles or listening to debates about abortion, I’m always left wondering, “Why isn’t adoption front and center in the national conversation?” Adding adoption as The Third Choice to the stunted “two-choice solution” — abortion or “keeping my baby” — holds promise for many thousands of women and couples. Together, unexpectedly pregnant and childless women […]

Fighting for Justice in Judicial Nominations

The radical left’s unjust definition of justice prevents it from impartiality, the very essence of the role of a judge. Its partisan opposition to any and all of President Trump’s judicial nominees is a prime example. One nominee, Kyle Duncan, who has been nominated to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, […]

I Met With Ivanka, Too, and Cecile Richards is Being a Drama Queen

In a breathless passage, or as People Magazine prefers to call it, a “riveting passage,” from Cecile Richards’ new book about her life as Planned Parenthood’s president for the past 12 years, she describes meeting with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in January 2017 to discuss taxpayer funding of her organization, the nation’s largest abortion […]

Taking Aim at the Elephant in the Room: Why Republicans Should be Nervous

Last week, President Trump begrudgingly signed into law a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill that runs out in September.  The Republican-controlled Congress sent the president a bill that rightfully increases support for the U.S. military but doesn’t offset spending and, thus, increases our national debt by at least $1 trillion. The American public has little […]
