With their legal options at an impasse for the time being, and with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against an emergency injunction on their behalf, the owners of the Oklahoma-based retailer Hobby Lobby have decided they will defy the Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate that requires employers to provide their employees with free contraception — including the so-called “morning […]

William Browning published his “Timeline of Top Political Stories of 2012” a couple of days ago. It was his muse that politics was top dog and he may have been correct. While I, myself, think the top story was the re-election of the President by an ever increasing population of wanters, Mr. Browing’s time line leads with: Feb. 29: Fiscal cliff appears […]

by Maria Keller “Adoption, not abortion” is a sign often seen at abortuary pickets. Do we, as prolifers, understand adoption? Are we aware of all that pro-abortionists are doing to undermine the institution of adoption? In its most simplistic sense, adoption is the process whereby a couple (or single person) agree to take and raise a child who is not […]

USA Today released a big feature today taking the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to task for its relatively lax charity rating criteria compared to alternative raters like CharityWatch (until recently called the American Institute of Philanthropy).

  Only four states out of fifty with any brains.   by Dara Newson The state of Iowa has joined Nebraska in the battle to not issue driver licenses to young illegal immigrants. Some of who are now eligible to work under President Obama’s federal program. Michigan and Arizona also have denied the driving rights of young illegal immigrants. So […]

by  Warner Todd Huston Imagine you are working for a company that is going bankrupt, but everyone you work with and your bosses are getting pay raises. Seem absurd? Not if you work for the failing federal government, because President Obama has decreed that Vice President Biden, members of Congress, and most federal workers are getting raises for 2013. As […]

I have been protesting against any and all subsidies as far back as I can remember. There is no reason to SUBSIDIZE any business – other than to CONTROL that business. It sits right with all those *grants* and Federal Funds* using tax payer funds. The other part of this game to CONTROL is those TAX EXEMPTIONS to entice some […]

  Federal Gun Control = GUN CONFISCATION just using a more easily swallowed lie. http://www.infowars.com/new-york-gov-mandatory-gun-sale-to-state-and-confiscation-are-options/ Watch your local Home Depot and Lowe’s stores, there is going to be a rush on large PVC pipe and the ends… all cut to gun lengths. Maybe even a run on shovels to bury the guns with. I simply cannot believe that anyone with […]

The voluntary union (or confederacy) of States known as the United States was born of a secessionist movement against Great Britain, and our Declaration of Independence is, at base, a secessionist document. How, then, can secession legitimately be called ‘un-American?’

By Timothy H. Lee The reflexive exploitation of the Newtown murders to score ideological points was a predictable one.  But that doesn’t make it any less tawdry. What happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut isn’t fairly a “tragedy.” A deadly auto accident is a tragedy.  A natural disaster is a tragedy. What happened was evil.  It was […]

Focus on local & state governments. Hold bureaucrats accountable, and respectfully treat them like the public servants they are. They are there for you, not the other way around.

The 12-year-old daughter of Debra St. Clair, from Bryan County in southeast Oklahoma, was home alone on October 17 when she heard a stranger ringing the doorbell.

I am asking for a special favor of those on WGEN. I am asking that all of you who believe in and understand the STRENGTH in PRAYER to add this situation below to your prayer lists.

Robert Bork’s 1987 nomination to the Supreme Court, and the uproar over his ideology that ultimately led to his defeat, forever changed the process by which the Senate confirms judges. In the 25 years that have followed Bork’s nomination, the two parties have fought increasingly bitter battles over high court picks in an effort to tilt the third branch of […]

WASHINGTON (AP) — New taxes are coming Jan. 1 to help finance President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. Most people may not notice. But they will pay attention if Congress decides to start taxing employer-sponsored health insurance, one option in play if lawmakers can ever agree on a budget deal to reduce federal deficits. The tax hikes already on the […]

The actor has put the kibosh on speculation that he’s eyeing John Kerry’s seat in the senate. Sen. Kerry has been nominated as Hillary Clinton’s replacement as Secretary of State. “I love Massachusetts and our political process, but I am not running for office,” he wrote on his Facebook page on Monday. “Right now it’s a privilege to spend my […]
