For months now, the Democrats have been attacking the Republicans, accusing them of attempting to cause the U.S. to default on its financial obligations. Meanwhile, the GOP has insisted they aren’t going to cave on the debt limit but also says they are looking for cuts to address Washington D.C.’s exorbitant spending. That has become the rallying cry that has gotten conservatives behind House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But, behind the scenes, there appears to be very little progress on actually finding a path forward on this. McCarthy hasn’t spoken with or negotiated with President Joe Biden in months, and the...

“Promise made, promise broken. Once again, Senate Republican ‘leadership’ has demonstrated that its promises are meaningless. Today’s announcement that Republican Senators will quit before voting on a plan to repeal even SOME portions of ObamaCare is just the latest in a string of failures. When ObamaCare was enacted in 2010, Republicans on both sides of Capitol Hill vowed to repeal every word of President Obama’s government takeover of our healthcare system. It became their rallying cry in election cycle after election cycle. When the American people gave Republicans the House majority after winning the 2010 midterms on the promise of...

CNN story. Apparently Obama sent a letter to his pastor but that has yet to be released.

Has anyone out there heard of one Republican calling for the resignation and/or prosecution of Speaker Pelosi? Republicans are cowards! Even my own Senators have not answered my Emails or calls. What the hell is wrong with this Country? Why do we have laws if they only use them against Republicans? You and I cannot choose which laws to obey, or which taxes we will pay.

Why is the Justice Department...

Reid also wants a concession from Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, officials said speaking on condition of anonymity: the replacement of a third Michigan nominee with one approved by that state's two Democratic senators. At the same time, these officials say Reid remains opposed to four conservative candidates for other appellate circuits, Priscilla Owen,...

After the three presidential debates, John Kerry has left no doubt he has the strength and character to be commander in chief. While George Bush and Dick Cheney repeat tired rhetoric and make shallow promises, John Kerry and John Edwards have laid out specific plans to hunt and kill the terrorists, offer a fresh start in Iraq so we can finish the job there, and to fight for the middle class.

<p>A quarter of a century ago, our then-teenage daughter, the youngest of our three children, announced that she was gay. Her revelation came as a shock, but the intervening years have given me time to reflect on homosexuality. I have slowly gone from that initial shock to acceptance, along the way reaching some insights.</p>
