Syrian Immigration
I joined more than 60 conservative leaders today in the Conservative Action Project (CAP) calling on Congress to take action addressing the potential national security threats posed by the insufficient vetting of Syrian refugees. ... We outlined compassionate approaches that mitigate the security risks that currently exist. Meanwhile, doubts are growing in Europe about the wisdom of taking in hundreds of thousands of unvetted migrants, mostly from Islamic countries. German authorities are reporting that many Muslim migrants are seeking out Arab language mosques, some of which are known to be havens for Islamic extremists.
The Darkest of Black Fridays
Planned Parenthood has always been a grim place, but last Friday, its Colorado clinic was the scene of different kind of tragedy. In a senseless shooting, one disgruntled man took the lives of three innocent people and wounded several more in a terrible atrocity that cast a somber shadow over the holiday. Regardless of what the gunman's motives may be (and the media has suggested several), we strongly condemned this violence. All of us at the Family Research Council join with the pro-life movement in praying for the injured officers and families who lost loved ones.
Evil Acts at Planned Parenthood
The Left's twisted logic about the attack at Planned Parenthood.
Haven Forbid? U.S. Debates Refugee Crisis
If President Obama thinks a religious test is shameful for refugees, then he has a lot to be ashamed of. His own administration has been discriminating at an amazingly fast clip over the past two months — and against the population posing the smallest threat to American safety: Christians. After its jaw-dropping findings earlier this week, CNSNews also crunched the numbers from the last month and a half and found the same disgraceful pattern of prejudice. Of the Syrians granted asylum in the U.S. since October, *only five* were Christians. The other 346 were Sunni Muslims (which, for those of you keeping score at home, is 98.6%). If that isn't a "religious test," I don't know what is. And the tragedy is this: not only do Christian refugees pose the least risk to American society, but they're also the ones in the direst need of help.
Tolerance: Now UC It, Now You Don't
America's universities used to care about critical thinking. Now they're just critical — toward conservative thinking. Last week, we talked about Carol Swain, the African-American professor under fire for suggesting that radical Islam was a threat to security. (A theory the French would now certainly support.) Turns out, she isn't the only one making waves on college campuses.
Refugees Are Syria's Business for U.S.
More than four million Syrian refugees have poured into Europe since the start of the country's war five years ago. But it only took one of them to change Paris forever. Three days after the tragedy in France rocked the world, officials have confirmed that at least one of the terrorists snuck into the country posing as a Syrian refugee. That revelation, combined with fresh fears that ISIS is on the move in the West, is igniting a firestorm in the U.S., where President Obama announced his plans to open America's arms to at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016 (and as many as 100,000 if Democrats get their way).
Parliamentary Games
No more excuses. That's the message from [Tuesday's] Senate news. After weeks of worrying that their budget reconciliation bill would hit a procedural wall, conservatives can finally exhale. According to leadership staff, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough gave the thumbs up to the GOP's plan to defund Planned Parenthood through the expedited budgetary process.
Byrd Watching: GOP Eyes Rule on Planned Parenthood
The most important vote on the bill to defund Planned Parenthood isn't a senator's — it's the parliamentarian's! Until now, most Americans had probably never heard of Elizabeth MacDonough, who, for all practical purposes, is the Senate's referee. The first-ever woman to hold the job, parliamentarian MacDonough will have the weight of the House's budget reconciliation bill on her shoulders when the chamber considers it as early as next week.
Mail Bonding? Richards Writes Ryan for Help
The House Speaker may have changed, but Planned Parenthood's tactics have not. In an odd sort of congratulatory letter, President Cecile Richards reached out to Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) for the first time since his election. In hopes of veering him off his predecessor's course, Richards spends four pages defending her organization's baby parts-for-profits ring before asking the new speaker to call off his investigators.
Planned Parenthood's Hearts of Darkness
Who needs horror movies when the Center for Medical Progress is producing such frightening footage from Planned Parenthood? One after another, the videos of the group's organ harvesting scheme sound like something out of a Halloween script. If only it were. Instead, the gory trade — often joked about by the workers involved — is putting an exclamation point on taxpayers' insistence that Congress defund the organization responsible.
Something to Strive For?
When we think of things worth striving for, usually something noble comes to mind — striving for a better education, a new job or reaching a life goal. But by the standards of most Americans, one abortionist is striving for something sinister. The latest undercover video exposing Planned Parenthood's barbaric fetal harvesting practices features Dr. Amna Dermish discussing how she was trained to "get the specimens out pretty intact."
Life Should Be 'Something to Strive For'
Instead, Planned Parenthood is striving for intact brains.
A Texas Dilemma: Planned Parenthood Subpoenas
State investigators may have gone too far, but who can blame them?
What We Learned
Contrary to the consensus media narrative that nothing new was learned at [Thursday's] Benghazi hearing, there were in fact a number of revelations.
Obama Plays Veto Games With American Lives
For the first time ever, a President has vetoed funding for our military because of his desire to increase funding for domestic social program.
Back to the Future of Planned Parenthood
To most people, the word "reconciliation" means settling a fight. In Congress, it means starting one! This seldom-used budget process has become the center of attention for weeks, as GOP leaders try to tackle two of the most controversial uses of government money: Planned Parenthood and ObamaCare. Although reconciliation isn't used often, it is a powerful tool for the majority party to jump some of the procedural hurdles in the Senate on budgetary issues.
Crime Seen: States Respond to Abortion Wrongs
It looks like Texas is seceding — from Planned Parenthood! The second largest state in America is making the biggest statement on Cecile Richards's group this week, by shedding the organization's lucrative Medicaid contract. Governor Greg Abbott (R), who is following in his predecessor's pro-life boot steps, announced the move [Monday] — the same day that a federal judge blocked Louisiana's efforts to do the same.
More 'Nonsense' About Israel
[Wednesday] a State Department spokesman attempted to clarify recent remarks by Obama administration officials regarding the recent wave of Palestinian terrorism in Israel. The clarification was more of the same verbal vomit that encourages our enemies and demoralizes our friends. "We recognize that incitement can go both ways here. Whether it's action or rhetoric, it's things that encourage others to continue this cycle of violence," said State Department spokesman John Kirby.
