Biden Attacks America’s Founding Principle

September 12, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Biden Attacks America’s Founding Principle

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY When the Founders decided it was time for Americans to assume “the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them,” they did so while plainly stating a universally applicable principle.“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” they declared, “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”When President Joe Biden stood in front of Independence Hall Thursday night, September 1, he started his speech by inaccurately paraphrasing these words.“This,” said Biden, “is where America made its Declaration of Independence to the world more than two centuries ago with an…Continue Reading

The Problem With Empathy

September 11, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on The Problem With Empathy

By DONALD DeMARCO There are certain memories, no matter how ancient, that persist. I was in a laundromat long ago, waiting for the wash cycle to run its course. A young woman with two toddlers in a stroller entered, with some difficulty. The man sitting next to me said to his friend who was sitting beside him, pointing to the young mother, “She recently lost her husband.” The friend’s acid remark remains ever fresh in my memory bank: “That’s no skin off my nose.”We are creatures who are made to love one another. How can we become so alienated from our own nature that the plight of another does not affect us? If the sight of a young widow faced…Continue Reading

How Liberal Elites Detest Middle America

September 10, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on How Liberal Elites Detest Middle America

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN Speaking at a San Francisco fundraiser in 2008, Barack Obama sought to explain the reluctance of working-class Pennsylvanians to rally to his cause.“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and . . . the jobs have been gone now for 25 years, and nothing’s replaced them.”“And it’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment . . . as a way to explain their frustrations.”Translation: The world has left Middle America behind, and Middle America has reacted by clinging to its bibles, bigotries, and guns.Eight years later, Hillary Clinton was the Democratic nominee and, at a fundraiser in New York,…Continue Reading

Biden’s Student Loan “Forgiveness”… Is An Unjust, Cynical Abuse Of Power

September 9, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Biden’s Student Loan “Forgiveness”… Is An Unjust, Cynical Abuse Of Power

By DAVID HARSANYI “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” That’s what it says right there in the Constitution. And yet, without any legislation, President Joe Biden now promises to “cancel” up to $10,000 in student loans per borrower ($20,000 for Pell Grant borrowers), limited to those with annual incomes of less than $125,000.Let’s start by pointing out that Biden isn’t “canceling” or “forgiving” any student loans. Those are preposterous euphemisms favored by Democrats and the media. The debt in question already exists, it has been lent and spent, and those who borrowed the money of their own volition have already received services. This debt isn’t cancelable.The president hasn’t “forgiven” loans;…Continue Reading

September 8, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Planned Parenthood Raises $18 Million… To Promote Radically Pro-Abort Candidates

By MICAIAH BILGER WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeNews) — The abortion chain Planned Parenthood desperately wants a pro-abortion majority in U.S. Congress so that it can continue aborting unborn babies nationwide.And some of the richest men in the country are donating huge amounts of money to help achieve that goal.According to Open Secrets, Planned Parenthood Votes, the abortion chain’s political arm, reported raising nearly $18 million so far this year.While Planned Parenthood has bragged about receiving record donations since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, it appears that a lot of its election money came from millionaires and billionaires, not grassroots Americans.Major donors include Quinn Delaney and Donald Sussman, who gave $1 million each to the abortion group.…Continue Reading

By KEVIN J. JONES (CNA) — A federal appellate court on Friday, August 26 blocked a push to force doctors to perform abortions or sex-reassignment surgeries.The decision was made on religious freedom grounds.“This ruling is a major victory for conscience rights and compassionate medical care in America,” Joseph Davis, counsel at the legal group Becket, said.“Doctors cannot do their jobs and comply with the Hippocratic Oath if the government requires them to perform harmful, irreversible procedures against their conscience and medical expertise.”The court case is known as Franciscan Alliance v. Becerra. Franciscan Alliance is a hospital network founded by the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration. Becket is the alliance’s legal representation. Nine states joined the suit, as did…Continue Reading

September 6, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Biden’s Transfer Of Wealth To The Wealthier

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY President Joe Biden acted as if he was being compassionate to people suffering economic hardships when he announced his plan for forgiving billions of dollars in student loans.“Using the authority Congress granted the Department of Education, we will forgive $10,000 in outstanding federal student loans,” he said.“In addition, students who come from low-income families which allowed them to qualify to receive a Pell Grant will have their debt reduced $20,000,” he said.“Both of these targeted actions,” he claimed, “are for families who need it the most — working and middle-class people hit especially hard during the pandemic making under $125,000 a year.”What he is actually doing is transferring wealth from people who earn less to people…Continue Reading
