Open Borders Backlash 

Monday President Obama pledged to "go it alone" on immigration reform, and now he is being urged to "go big." According to various reports, pro-amnesty advocates are calling on Obama to unilaterally rewrite the nation's immigration laws "to essentially legalize the millions of undocumented immigrants who would be eligible for work permits under the bill passed by the Senate last summer."

"Wild Beasts" 

Israel is weeping today. The bodies of three kidnapped Israeli boys were found yesterday in a shallow grave. Gilad Shaar, 16 years-old, Naftali Frenkel, 16 and an American citizen, and Eyal Yifrach, 19, were apparently shot by their captors. A mob stoned the ambulance that drove the boys' lifeless bodies away from the scene of their murder. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accurately called their murderers "wild beasts."

Supreme Court Upholds Religious Liberty 

For the third time in less than two weeks, the Supreme Court has rebuked the Obama Administration for its overreach. Today the court ruled 5-to-4 that Hobby Lobby and other closely held businesses cannot be forced to subsidize abortion-inducing drugs in violation of their deeply held religious beliefs.

Good News! 

I know many of you have been closely following the plight of Meriam Ibrahim and praying for her and her family, as Carol and I have been. I am pleased to report that her husband, Dani, says Meriam and their family are currently at the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum. 

Her case attracted worldwide attention after Sudan's Islamic courts sentenced her to death for being a Christian. Meriam and her toddler son were thrown in jail, where Meriam gave birth to a baby girl.

Obama Loses Supreme Double Header 

The United States Supreme Court handed down decisions today in key cases involving abortion and First Amendment rights and limits on presidential power.

The abortion case arose from a Massachusetts law that prohibited sidewalk counselors and pro-life activists from getting within 35 feet of an abortion facility. The Obama Administration cared so much about maintaining unfettered access to abortion that it weighed in on behalf of the state of Massachusetts.

Voters: IRS Emails Deliberately Destroyed 

The latest Fox News poll should have White House aides reaching for the Maalox. While the president and his allies dig their heels in on the "phony" IRS scandal, voters are not buying their excuses.

According to the poll, 76% of voters (including nearly two-thirds of Democrats) believe that Lois Lerner's emails were deliberately destroyed to cover-up potential wrongdoing. Only 12% believe they were destroyed by mistake.

VA Cover-Up "Beyond Horrible" 

There is a stunning new development in the VA scandal today. Yet another whistleblower, Pauline DeWenter, has come forward to describe a cover-up, which she says was "beyond horrible." 

It was DeWenter's job to manage the so-called "secret waiting list" and to call veterans on the waiting list to notify them when appointments were available. Unfortunately, she would sometimes learn from spouses or family members that the veteran she was attempting to reach had died while waiting in line.

Cheney v. Paul 

The ISIS blitzkrieg continued over the weekend. Four more Iraqi towns and two border checkpoints were seized by radical jihadists. The capture of the border checkpoints is a symbolic victory for ISIS, which is trying to recreate a caliphate in Iraq and Syria. And as more Iraqi towns fall to the terrorists, Secretary of State John Kerry is in Baghdad trying to negotiate a diplomatic solution.

Fighting For Faith and Freedom 

Today I addressed the Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority conference in Washington, D.C. The event featured a star-studded lineup of conservative leaders including Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Allen West. The audience was enthusiastic and can't wait to cast their ballots this November! 

I used the opportunity to catalogue the left's repeated attacks on our values and urged men and women of faith to stand up and fight back.
