Obama Failed To Impress 

President Barack Obama's press conference yesterday about the VA scandal left many journalists, members of Congress and veterans scratching their heads.

CNN's Drew Griffin, the reporter who broke the story about the Phoenix VA's secret wait lists, said: 
 

VA Scandal Grows 

Congress may need yet another select committee -- one to investigate the scandal at the Veterans Administration. Almost every day it seems another whistleblower steps forward with allegations of abuse, mismanagement and neglect of our heroes. Here are the latest developments:

The Fight For Our Values
In Friday's report I expressed my frustration with the political establishment's unwillingness to defend the traditional values of millions of Americans. This morning Politico released the results of polling in some of the most competitive House and Senate races. Consider these results on values issues:
 

IRS Scandal Update 

Yesterday afternoon more emails related to the IRS scandal were released. They make two things perfectly clear: First, there was a coordinated, intentional effort to target Tea Party groups. Second, senior members of Congress demanded it. 

Lock Your Doors -- Huge Prison Breakout

Rally For Religious Freedom

This morning I joined the leaders of 15 other pro-family, pro-life organizations at the "Rally for Religious Freedom." The event took place in front of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which is widely considered the second-most important court in the country. The rally was sponsored by Priests for Life and the Archdiocese of Washington, which were in court today fighting Obamacare's contraception mandate.

There is a very real war on women going on in many Muslim countries, and the left frequently ignores it. Recent tragic events have forced some in the media to confront it.
