Holly O'Donnell is hardly a household name. If the GOP-controlled Congress had an ounce of political backbone, she'd be the most famous woman in America. Ms. O'Donnell is a former procurement technician at StemExpress, one of Planned Parenthood's (PP) most reliable customers, until they cut ties with the organization in August. "We value our various partnerships but, due to the increased questions that have arisen over the past few weeks, we feel it prudent to terminate activities with Planned Parenthood," the company said in a statement at the time. "While we value our business relationship with Planned Parenthood, that work represents a small percentage of our overall business activity and we must focus our limited resources on resolving these inquiries."
Impressive candidates make clear no one will go down without a fight.
In yet another descent into Orwellianism, on Thursday, the Regents of the University of California's Committee on Education Policy will attempt to formulate an agenda for students and faculty that amounts to nothing more than a censorship free pass by establishing a right not to be offended. The "Statement of Principles Against Intolerance" is a compendium of progressive contradictions that begins by stating the University of California (UC) "is committed to protecting its bedrock values of respect, inclusion, and academic freedom," as well as free expression and the open exchange of ideas that are "principles enshrined in our national and state Constitutions" and "part of the university's fiber."
Let's be crystal clear about what happened one day before America commemorated the 14th anniversary of the worst domestic attack in our nation's history: the Party of Treason aided and abetted by the Party of Cowardice made Obama's despicable deal with Iran a reality. Even more insulting, the process took place in defiance of the law as written and without a vote. In short, the effort to accommodate Iran, accurately described as the word's foremost sponsor of state terror, represents one of the darkest days in American history.
Terrorist-linked CAIR calls on the administration to "bring them here."
Has there ever been an American president more spectacularly wrong than Barack Hussein Obama, along with the gaggle of equally clueless officials in his administration?
How Hillary's contempt for protocols has endangered the entire nation.
The victims of Obama's failure.
I am frustrated by many things, but intellectual inconsistency is near the top of the list. Unfortunately, many Americans, perhaps even an electoral majority, embrace it. Let's begin with Hillary Clinton. An inadvertently laugh-out-loud headline accompanies the latest effort by Politico writer Steven Shepard to maintain that website's grim determination to promote Democrat Party talking points even as it feigns objectivity. "Can Hillary overcome the 'liar' factor?" the title of the piece asks. Liar "factor?" Anyone else think Hillary Clinton's repeated, documented, shameless, reflexive lying about virtually everything is something a tad more problematic than a factor?
The astounding female injury rates that are being hidden from the public — and women in the military.
Many issues illuminate America's cultural fault lines, but none is hotter than immigration, and it's time to provide some much-needed perspective for no other reason than to counter the blizzard of b.s. being foisted on the American public. An American public that will be labeled nativist, bigoted or mean-spirited if they don't buy into every contemptible ounce of it. We begin where everyone begins these days with Donald Trump. Like him or hate him, he has done this nation an enormous service in bringing the immigration issue front and center.
As the progressive crime waves claims more black lives.
Campbell Brown and Kirsten Powers take on the leftist establishment.
For the last few years the promise of electing America's first black president has given way to the reality that race relations have actually taken a turn for the worse. While some of the grievances that have emerged have been legitimate, there is little doubt that the "fundamental transformation of America" demanded by the Left and their media allies requires the elevation of a narrative over America's historical record.
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush got it right regarding Iraq in a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Tuesday night. "That premature withdrawal was the fatal error, creating the void that ISIS moved in to fill," he declared. "Where was the secretary of state, Secretary of State Clinton, in all of this? Like the president himself, she had opposed the surge, then joined in claiming credit for its success, then stood by as that hard-won victory by American and allied forces was thrown away."
Back in the late '80s, I worked in the music business with a well-known producer who shepherded Bruce Springsteen to fame and fortune. Like every producer, he was in search of a follow up act, and one idea he had involved creating a heavy metal band with a mythical god as the lead singer. Because much of that effort involved creating a spectacle of sorts, I got assigned to attend one those professional wrestling matches that routinely sold out at Madison Square Garden. It was a highly entertaining night with plenty of over-the-top action, thrills and lots of silliness. And despite the fact that everyone in the room knew the winner of each fight was "predetermined," the crowd cheered for their favorite heroes with as much gusto as they could muster up. I never attended another match, nor did I see anything like it — until last Thursday night's GOP debate on Fox News.
Ferguson, MO turned once again into a scene of violent race hatred when a man police authorities say opened fire on them on the anniversary of Michael Brown's death was critically wounded when police returned fire. He released a "remarkable amount of gunfire" against the officers using a stolen handgun, explained St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar. That incident occurred shortly after "an exchange of gunfire between two groups" Belmar described as criminals, not protesters. "There is a small group of people out there that are intent on making sure that peace doesn't prevail," he said.
Citizens sign a petition for a “white privilege" tax — but black privilege is just as pervasive, if not more so.
The president's speech on the Iranian deal, delivered at American University on Wednesday, was vintage Obama, as in a compendium of demagoguery, historical revisionism and outright lying. Nothing emphasized that more forcefully than the portion of the Obama's speech addressing the war in Iraq. Obama insisted U.S. involvement there was the result of "a mindset characterized by a preference for military action over diplomacy, a mindset that put a premium on unilateral U.S. action over the painstaking work of building international consensus, a mindset that exaggerated threats beyond what the intelligence supported."
The administration considers intervening in landmark case against Palestinian terrorists.
