Disparities Galore
- By Walter Williams
Much is made about observed differences between sexes and among races. The nation's academic and legal elite try to sell us on the notion that men and women and people of all races should be proportionally represented in socio-economic characteristics. They make statements such as "Though African Americans and Hispanics make up approximately 32 percent of the US population, they (constituted) 56 percent of all incarcerated people in 2015" and "20 percent of Congress is women. Only 5 percent of CEOs are."
Senate Scrambles to Tackle Wall Funding Before Shutdown
- By GOP Presidential
The Senate on Friday was scrambling to take up a spending package with billions in funding for a border wall, as President Trump made clear there’s a “good chance” for a partial government shutdown at midnight.
The House on Thursday approved $5.7 billion for a border wall as part of a measure to fund the government through early February. But the Senate on Friday afternoon was struggling to overcome a procedural hurdle to even set up a vote on the bill, amid Democrats’ refusal to give in on a border wall.
Will Trump Hold Firm on Syrian Pullout?
- By Pat Buchanan
"We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there," wrote President Donald Trump, as he ordered the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Syria, stunning the U.S. foreign policy establishment.
Trump overruled his secretaries of state and defense, and jolted this city and capitals across NATO Europe and the Middle East.
Yet, Trump is doing exactly what he promised to do in his campaign. And what his decision seems to say is this:
Bill Would Divert Gas-Tax-Hike Money to Interstate Widening Projects
- By Rick Brundrett - The Nerve
A proposal by a longtime S.C. senator would siphon millions from a main source of gas-tax-hike revenues that lawmakers promised would go toward fixing the state’s crumbling roads and bridges, and instead earmark that money for widening interstates.
It also could be a way around what the state transportation chief previously has described as a funding problem for interstate projects because of pending court challenges.
Congress Must Fund a Border Wall!
- By Eagle Forum
Both the House and Senate will vote this week on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill. Lawmakers have the ability to allocate funding for the border wall in this bill, but it is being blocked by Democrats. Republicans are also giving up on the fight. Leadership has punted this issue for far too long.
Eagle Forum, along with several prominent conservative groups, has signed onto the following letter written by the Conservative Action Project to urge Congress and President Trump to protect the American people:
Reason for the Season
- By Tony Dunn
The real reason for the celebration of Christmas is presented to all by Bob Jones University. The birth of Jesus.
Wisdom of Man
- By Jim S. Brooks
The media today is filled with news about competing religions and faith value systems. The general thrust is man should respect each system. Each system advances its views with the sincere convictions of convinced adherents! However, their teachings are widely divergent! What is acceptable human activity in one system is absolutely not acceptable in another. On the other hand essential “godly” worship in one is an abhorrent “ungodly” offense in another! The major religious choices are: Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism; or, atheism.

The President's Legal Woes Continue to Grow
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
It seems that every time we look at the legal maneuverings that reflect upon President Donald Trump, the allegations of unlawful behavior by him add up. We know that two teams of federal prosecutors are examining his pre-presidential and his in-office behavior.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether Trump and his campaign reached an agreement with any foreign nationals -- particularly Russians -- to receive anything of value and whether he obstructed justice by trying to shut down an FBI investigation of his first national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. And federal prosecutors in Manhattan are looking at bank fraud and campaign financing fraud.
Can the GOP Stop Scrooge from Hitting Churches?
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
If you thought your Christmas to-do list was long -- you should see Congress's! Before dipping into the wassail, members in both chambers are scrambling to finish up seven spending bills, criminal justice reform, welfare reauthorization, and a sleigh of other issues before sprinting home for the holidays. But there's one bill that conservatives are especially interested in seeing under their tree this year – and that's the Retirement, Savings, And Other Tax Relief Act of 2018 (H.R. 88).

Entrapment of Flynn Takes Another Dark Turn
- By John & Andy Schlafly
![Flynn never would have been prosecuted by a properly functioning Department of Justice, but the unconstitutional Mueller investigation has spent more than a fortune hunting for crimes. Flynn never would have been prosecuted by a properly functioning Department of Justice, but the unconstitutional Mueller investigation has spent more than a fortune hunting for crimes.](https://www.phyllisschlafly.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ct-michael-flynn-sentencing-20181218.jpg)
Life in the Deep State took another dark turn on Tuesday, at the sentencing of Lt. General Michael T. Flynn that did not happen. Instead, he was asked if he had committed treason, which is something not even the partisan Mueller prosecutors ever considered charging him with.
This story would be suitable for Alice in Wonderland if it did not involve an injustice inflicted on an honorable man who risked his life for our Nation. Rather than being able to celebrate Christmas by putting this travesty behind him, Lt. Gen. Flynn is left wondering how his lifelong patriotism was called into question.
Three Good Men; Three Great Kids' Books
- By Michelle Malkin
Men get a bad rap. They're blamed collectively for rape culture, violence, war, poverty, climate change and all other manner of global suffering. They're forced to apologize on college campuses for their chromosomes, anatomy and athleticism. They're vilified incessantly in women's magazines, on women's talk shows and at women's confabs promoting the male-bashing #MeToo movement.

Let's Stop Pretending It’s Christians That are Obsessed with People’s Sex Lives
- By Erick Erickson
When leftists pushing the sexual revolution say this, it is a classic (and annoying) case of projection.
As a Christian who believes and promotes the superiority of the Biblical sexual ethic, I’ve become quite accustomed to this silly accusation from progressive political activists: “all you evangelicals care about is homosexuality…why single out this one sin more than any other?”
Some Thoughts and Observations
- By Ray Simmons
VOTING: Never vote for a candidate who talks about our DEMOCRACY. Our country was founded as a REPUBLIC. If you don’t know the difference, don’t vote at all.
Unless you are getting gray-headed you probably don’t know that in early America only property owning citizens were allowed to vote, male property holders at that. Most property was owned by men, and unless one owned property he was considered not to have any investment that might be affected....no skin in the game, as the saying goes. The 1828 presidential election was the first in which non-property-holding white males could vote in the vast majority of states. By the end of the 1820s, attitudes and state laws had shifted in favor of universal white male suffrage. The women had to wait a while longer. Dead people and non-citizens are still not supposed to vote, but I understand some do.
I'll Be Home(less) for Christmas?
- By Tony Perkins - Family Research Council
In Washington State, grandma didn't get run over by a reindeer -- but her rights sure did! At the Providence Place senior living center, this year's crackdown on Christmas is so severe it makes the Grinch look like an amateur. There are bans on carols, trees, mangers -- and don't even try to say "Merry Christmas!" The message from management is simple: if you want to celebrate the season, move somewhere else.

The Healthcare Revolution: More Choices, Not More Taxes
- By Marilyn M. Singleton, MD, JD
Paris is in flames over a fuel tax increase that would pile 30 cents onto the $7.06 per gallon price paid by citizens whose average monthly salary is $2,753.This burdensome “carbon tax” on the middle class is intended to help meet Europe’s commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and thereby halt global warming or climate change. It appears that the 21st century French Revolution has begun. This time, Brussels is sending in tanks to protect the new elite and its agenda.

In the latest triumph of transgenderism, a school district in southern England will begin teaching grade-schoolers that “all genders” can have menstrual periods.
“Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods,” reads the advice to teachers from the Brighton and Hove City Council. In other words, females who deny their biological sex will nevertheless experience physical symptoms of being female as they mature.
Here Comes Commerce Clause!
- By Tony Perkins
After 2017, most Republicans just wanted to forget about Obamacare. Thanks to one court, that'll be impossible to do now. More than a year after the GOP watched Senator John McCain kill their best shot at repealing the law, a judge in Texas just did what Congress could not.
For the GOP, who'd put aside any hope of toppling the law after the midterm, District Judge Reed O'Connor guaranteed that the issue isn't just back -- it's front and center. "As I predicted all along," President Trump tweeted, "Obamacare has been struck down as an unconstitutional disaster! Now Congress must help Trump pass a strong law that provides great healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!"
Trump's Biggest Problem Is This, Not Mueller
- By Erick Erickson
He must rebuild and grow gains, but neither he nor his supporters seem interested
After the President's tweet cheering on the demise of the Weekly Standard, I noted President Trump needed to be building bridges in the aftermath of the 2018 midterms, not burning bridges. Numerous Trump supporters offered up a variation of "f**k them" and "they'd never vote for him anyway."

Kim Jong Un, angered by the newest U.S. sanctions, is warning that North Korea's commitment to denuclearization could be imperiled and we could be headed for "exchanges of fire."
Iran, warns Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, is testing ballistic missiles that are forbidden to them by the U.N. Security Council.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that, within days, he will launch a military thrust against U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in northern Syria, regarding them as allies of the PKK terrorist organization inside Turkey.
