After relentless and vociferous criticism from feminist organizations, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius has abandoned her opposition to the over-the-counter sale to minors of the so-called “Plan B” contraception pill which can also be used to cause the abortion of a fertilized egg. This cowardly retreat by Secretary Sibelius is hardly surprising, but [...]
The lesson of the scandals that are engulfing the Obama administration is simple: Leaders who don’t protect our most important rights can’t be trusted to protect our other rights, either. Our rights go together, starting with the right to life: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they [...]
NFL champion Matt Birk, who played center for the Baltimore Ravens last year during their recent Super Bowl season, skipped the team’s visit with President Obama at the White House, a traditional trip for the NFL’s most recent champions.

It’s raining. What do you do? If you are President Obama at a press conference where you know you will be asked tough questions about the IRS, Benghazi and DOJ scandals, you do this (in contravention of military law, no less) to remind people of your office and power: But if you are Pope Francis at [...]

Fort Hood. Tucson. Aurora. Newtown. Boston. These are just a few of the tragedies that have taken place over the past several years. To his credit, President Obama responded to these horrific incidents with great aplomb. For the most part, he put politics aside and did the best he could to assure us everything would [...]
You cannot make this sort of stuff up, folks, because no one would believe you. The Secretary of Health and Human Services tweeted this comment from the President of the United States: President Obama: Being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition. #ThanksObamacare — Kathleen Sebelius (@Sebelius) May 10, 2013 Yes: Democrats believe [...]
After the Dubyapalooza at the opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, a badly needed reassessment of former President Bush is underway. I offer my 2 cents at the National Catholic Register, based in part on what we covered at the time. For space, I had to cut one quote which I [...]
Who ever said you can’t mix business and pleasure?
