The Love of Adoption
Do you want to see what gratitude looks like? Then David Scotton’s your man.
Keystone State Race Could Set Template for Democrats
Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District, which ripples over the steep hills of this Pittsburgh suburb and stretches south to the West Virginia border, has not had a competitive congressional election since 2006. The fact that it will have one on March 13 makes this the most important 2018 voting before Nov. 6.
NY Lawmakers: NRA Members Are Not Welcome in Brooklyn
It may be hard to believe, but there really are National Rifle Association members who reside in New York City. I happen to be one of them. And that’s a mighty big problem for Democrats.

Is Country Music Going the Way of the NFL?
Through all of the cultural ups and downs, country music has always been a place conservatives felt welcome. While so many other celebrities started picking up activist causes and shaming fans who held Christian beliefs, American could always count on Nashville to stay true to their values (or at least tolerate them). Not anymore.
Trump: The Truth-Teller
For months, President Trump said the Obama administration was spying on his campaign. It turns out it was.
The Politicization of the FBI
Over the past year, facts have emerged that suggest there was a plot by high-ranking FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) officials in the Obama administration, acting under color of law, to exonerate Hillary Clinton of federal crimes and then, if she lost the election, to frame Donald Trump and his campaign for colluding with Russia to steal the presidency. This conduct was not based on mere bias, as has been widely claimed, but rather on deeply felt animus toward Trump and his agenda.
School Suspends War Vet Who Vowed to Protect Students
By nearly every account Timothy Locke is one of the most beloved and inspirational teachers in the Cherry Hill, New Jersey, school district. Locke is a veteran of the Iraq war and for the past 17 years he’s flavored his classroom lessons at Cherry Hill East High School with real-life experiences.

The Agony of Jeff Sessions
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been attacked and belittled by President Donald Trump more than Vladimir Putin has.
Gun Control Starts at Home
Sounding more like Nancy Pelosi than a lifelong friend of the National Rifle Association, the president suggested three steps he thinks would help to prevent future mass school shootings like the one in Parkland, Florida.
Losing Hope
There is general sadness in Washington among conservatives over the news that Hope Hicks resigned Wednesday as White House Communications Director. Hicks has been working with the Trump family in various capacities since 2012 and joined the Trump Organization full time in 2014.
Embattled Vought Wins Embattled Vote
Vice President Mike Pence never served in the Senate, but he’s serving it now! With Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) health in question and Mike Rounds (R-SD) out of town, America’s second-in-command is becoming a permanent fixture in the chamber he oversees. On Wednesday, fresh off his trip to Nashville, the vice president made the mile and a half trek down Constitution Avenue to cast another tie-breaking vote — this time on the Office of Management and Budget’s new deputy, Russell Vought.
How Many Lives Are Saved by Guns — and Why Don’t Gun Controllers Care?
Lost in the current debate about gun control are three important points.
Public-Sector Unions Deserve to Be Destroyed
Unions use dues to help fund political advocacy that perpetuates their monopoly. So, in other words: racketeering.
Constitutional Democracy Doesn’t Debase, It Dignifies
It didn’t take long after Mitt Romney announced his U.S. Senate bid for new digs at his personality to surface.
Ratings Suffer When Celebrities Rant
Many red-state Americans who used to love awards shows on TV are now wary of celebrities who cannot help but use this platform to spew their hatred of President Trump and the evil/stupid conservatives who keep Hollywood liberals from running (ruining) America.
Undrained Swamp
I don’t know about you, but when I hear the phrase “drain the swamp,” I associate it with clean government, transparency, ethics and such like. In 2016, it became, along with “Lock her up,” a favorite Donald Trump campaign slogan.
Obama’s Scandal-Free Delusion
The liberal media had his back the entire time, even when he treated them like dirt.
Time to Protect Public Workers From Unions’ Coercion
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) is ostensibly a public-worker union. In truth, it is nothing more than an appendage of the Democratic Party.
