Monday was a wonderful day for religious liberty and freedom. The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case decided in favor of Hobby Lobby. This corporation was fighting against one of the Obamacare mandates stating employers must provide employees with contraception and abortifacient coverage. The Court upheld and used the 1993 […]
This week, the trailer for the latest installment in the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay, was released. As I was watching this trailer, something really struck me: the themes touched on in this film are essentially the endgame of today’s American liberalism.

Just over a year ago, I called on Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to step down. Despite having said repeatedly that he had more than adequate resources to fix the host of problems in his Veterans’ Affairs department, nothing seems to be getting fixed. Last year, it was the 2,000 percent backlog increase for applications […]
