John McCain: In cancer, he unites

Now, even those who can't stand his politics -- who've fought him tooth and nail over policy, legislation, RINO-ism and globalism -- wish him well, hope for the best and send him prayers. This is how God works: through struggles, a light.

Republicans, thy name is mud

Republicans, as a party, are reeling at their most recent failure -- an epic one -- regarding repeal-replace Obamacare. Stumbling seems to be Republicans' new mode of transportation. What's insanely angering about it is they're stumbling over their own roadblocks.

Rand Paul, atop white horse, rescues Obamacare PR

Republicans are having a head-hanging moment, to be sure, on Obamacare. So it's with no small measure of relief that Sen. Rand Paul has seemingly rode in on a white horse, to give the party a new public relations message on Obamacare that keeps Republicans afloat.

Sen. Kamala D. Harris

Kamala Harris: ‘She’s running for president. Take it to the bank’

Democrats are in a tizzy about their latest and brightest prospect for the 2020 White House -- Kamala Harris, the senator from California. Make way for the next social justice warrior. Harris, a la Eric Holder, a la Barack Obama, is a far leftist with a vision of America as an inherently racist, unjust, unfair, misogynist nation.

Al Gore’s frowny face: ‘I was wrong’ on Trump

Al "Hanging Chad-Man' Gore, former failed presidential candidate and former -- equally as failed, some would say -- vice president, has come crawling out of his air conditioned mansion to pick up his climate change manual once again and chide President Donald Trump on national television. His beef? It's hot -- damn hot.

White House dead wrong on asset forfeitures

President Donald Trump may be doing a lot of good for America, particularly in terms of putting the nation first on the international stage and its citizens, not special interests, first in the domestic arena. But on asset forfeiture laws, this White House is wrong. Dead wrong, completely wrong, egregiously wrong.

Un-American court demands Rowan County, North Carolina, quit praying

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled 10-5 that Rowan County, North Carolina, commissioners couldn't open their government sessions with prayer. What a travesty for America, the country English writer and philosopher Gilbert Keith "G.K." Chesterton once referred to as "the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed," a creed that "clearly names the Creator as the ultimate authority.'

Caitlyn Jenner on mission to sensitize GOP

The Jenner formerly known as Bruce, but name-changed to Caitlyn, is on a mission to change the Republican Party and make its members more sensitive to LGBT issues. That's fine and dandy. But sensitive shouldn't mean lying.

Delta’s ticked — but Ann Coulter’s right

Ann Coulter unleashed a storm of fiery tweets against Delta over a switched seat. And an offended Delta tried to defend itself. But Coulter's quite right and moreover, Americans are sick of being treated by airlines like chattel.

Social Security gender war exposes bureaucratic bloat

Talk about a bureaucratic nightmare. Stacy Harp, who hosts Bible News Radio with her husband, Randall Harp, is just trying to transfer the Social Security payments for her father, Clayton Perrotte, from Florida to Tennessee. But she can't, because a government error changed her dad's gender from male to female.
