Confidence Waning In Obama

Leading up to tomorrow night's State of the Union address, Barack Obama and his spokesmen are once again threatening to implement unilateral, constitutionally questionable executive actions if Congress will not bend to Obama's will.

On CNN yesterday, Dan Pfeiffer, a top Obama advisor, said, "He is going to look in every way he can with his pen and his phone to try to move the ball forward. We're putting an extra emphasis on it in 2014."

Virginia Legislators Defend Marriage 

The outrageous decision by Virginia's newly-elected Attorney General, Mark Herring, to ignore the will of the people and the commonwealth's constitution by refusing to defend Virginia's marriage amendment has caused a firestorm. We called on legislators in Richmond to respond boldly and they are.

Virginia Is For Lawlessness? 

Decades ago, Virginia tourism officials adopted the slogan, "Virginia is for lovers." With the newly-elected governor and attorney general seem determined to change the slogan to "Virginia is for lawlessness."

Earlier this week we warned that Attorney General Herring had suggested that he might not defend the popularly enacted state marriage protection amendment. During an interview on National Public Radiothis morning, Herring announced his decision:

Defending Life 

Today marks the 41st annual March for Life, which coincides with the tragic anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision.

Governor Mike Pence Fights For Marriage 

Indiana Governor Mike Pence delivered his State of the State address Tuesday and did not hesitate to stand up for normal marriage.

Indiana has been an unlikely battleground in the culture war. While more than 30 states across the country overwhelmingly approved constitutional amendments protecting marriage as the union of one man and one woman, liberal politicians who previously controlled Indiana's state legislature routinely refused to let Hoosiers vote on the issue.

Obama's Three Branches Of Government 

Speaking before reporters yesterday during his first cabinet meeting of the year, President Obama reiterated his intention to exercise his executive authority whenever congressional gridlock gets in the way. "We're not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help they need," Obama said, adding "I've got a pen and I've got a phone."

Nuke Deal Is Obamacare Of Foreign Policy 

Like Obamacare, President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran gets worse the more we find out what is in it. The goal was to put in place tough conditions to stop Iran from developing its nuclear weapons program. Is that what it does? Not according to the Iranians.

Justices Challenge Obama's Abuse Of Power 

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in a case challenging one of Barack Obama's abuses of power. Like you, I am frustrated that Obama is getting away with what appears to be extra-constitutional actions. Rarely a day goes by when I am not asked, "Why isn't something being done?"

Obamanomics Still Not Working 

Today the Labor Department reported that a puny 74,000 jobs were created last month. That is well short of the 200,000 jobs economists had expected.
