End of Day Archives
GOP Blizzard, The Big Picture, Defending Life |
GOP Blizzard This is an early and abbreviated "End of Day" today. Apparently a Republican blizzard is about to hit Washington. I say that because it looks like it will shut down the government! Much of our staff lives miles outside of the capital, and the next few days will be challenging. We hope to be back up and running on Monday. Everybody in the path of the storm should take necessary precautions and stay safe. The Big Picture |
Refugees Riot, 2015: A Record Year, Explaining Trump |
Refugees Riot Muslim migrants at a French refugee camp in Calais are rioting and, for the past two nights, they have literally burned the camp to the ground. Why would they do that? The camp they are at now is not exactly the most welcoming place. Known as "The Jungle," it's essentially just a tent city housing about six thousand people. Crammed into such squalid conditions, you might expect people to get upset. So the French government, at a cost of more than $21 million, built better temporary housing with heat, showers, beds and electricity. |
March For Life, Iowa Endorsements, Kasich's Left Turn?, The Evil Of Radical Islam |
March For Life The March For Life will take place this Friday, January 22nd, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The annual march memorializes the anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision 43 years ago in Roe v. Wade forcing every state in the union to permit the destruction of innocent unborn children. After more than four decades of marching year after year in the bitter cold and snow, some might ask, "Nothing is changing. Why keep doing it?" |
American Hostages Freed, Mixed Messages, Justices Take Up Obama's Amnesty Orders |
American Hostages Freed Every American celebrates the release over the weekend of five Americans held by Iran. Let's call them what they were -- hostages. Predictably, President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry were trumpeting the exchange as evidence of the value of their diplomatic strategy. |
A Tale Of Two Nations, Debate Night Fight, A Great Pro-Life Opportunity |
A Tale Of Two Nations The Obama Administration must be disconnected from reality. Consider these statements regarding the same event -- Iran's seizure of our patrol boats and sailors. |
Obama's Humiliation, WWRD -- What Would Reagan Do?, Debate Night |
Obama's Humiliation The Obama Administration is on "spin overdrive" trying to downplay Iran's seizure of two U.S. ships and ten sailors. Secretary of State John Kerry literally thanked the Iranians for their help. Vice President Joe Biden brushed off the incident, saying, "This was just standard nautical practice." Standard practice? Sorry, Joe, but we're not that dumb. |
Bubble Boy?, Heckuva Job, Haley |
Bubble Boy? Is the president really as isolated from reality as he sounded last night? I could write pages analyzing every misleading and inaccurate comment. But I'll focus on just a few. |
Friends Of Faith, The State Of The Left, Big Labor Bracing For Big Loss |
Friends Of Faith The fight to defend religious liberty against burdensome Obamacare mandates did not end with the Hobby Lobby case. Previous administrations likely would have gotten the court's message from that case, which granted certain for-profit businesses a religious exemption from the government's coercive contraception mandate. But not this one. |
More Attacks Coming?, Obama's Empty Seat, FBI Probe Expands |
More Attacks Coming? Last week we told you about the assassination attempt on Philadelphia Police Officer Jesse Hartnett. Edward Archer, who fired 13 shots at close range into Officer Hartnett's patrol car, confessed to police that he did so "in the name of Islam." In recent years, Archer made two trips to the Middle East -- one to Saudi Arabia for the hajj and one extended visit to Egypt. |
North Korea's Nukes, Iran Shows Off Its Missiles, Obama's New Rules |
North Korea's Nukes The U.N. Security Council held an emergency, closed-door meeting this morning to discuss North Korea's claim that it successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. The underground detonation was some kind of nuclear device, but intelligence analysts are skeptical, for the moment at least, that it was in fact a hydrogen bomb. If it was a hydrogen bomb, the national security threats to our allies and us would grow significantly. |
