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. Open Borders Backlash |

This afternoon, congressional leaders will meet with the president at the White House, where he is expected to lay out his "comprehensive strategy," which may "potentially" include a military component. |

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. special forces have captured Ahmed Abu Khatallah, a key suspect in the 2012 Benghazi attacks. According to Rear Adm. John Kirby, Khatallah was captured Sunday and is "in U.S. custody in a secure location outside of Libya." This news comes on the heels of a new CNN poll finding that 61% of Americans feel the Obama Administration "has generally been dishonest" about the Benghazi attacks. |

Our Vets DID NOT Fight In Vain A terrible narrative is gaining traction as the scenes of jihadists driving toward Baghdad dominate the news. The narrative boils down to this: that the thousands of U.S. servicemen and women who fought, were wounded and died did so in vain. The narrative is fueled by leftists who blame George W. Bush for getting us into Iraq and by some on the right who blame Obama's weak foreign policy for eroding the hard-fought gains our brave soldiers won. |

You Spoke Up Loud And Clear! Thank you! We received one of the highest response totals ever last night to the question of whether the U.S. should use air power in Iraq to stop the ISIS jihadists from marching on Baghdad. Over 90% of you support taking that action. The 10% who oppose it did so mostly because they lacked confidence in the administration. |

Islamists March On Baghdad A few days ago, we reported that Al Qaeda is on the verge of taking control of Iraq. The Iraqi government has been desperately asking for our help. They didn't ask for troops, but instead requested American air strikes. |

Al Qaeda On The Rise The Wall Street Journal reports that Iraq's second-largest city fell to Al Qaeda jihadists today. Fallujah -- less than 40 miles from Baghdad -- fell in January. Look around the Middle East, my friends. Libya. Syria. Iraq. |
