Moms Against Hunger Feeds Moore, OK  The people of Moore, Oklahoma are in desperate need of our help right now. Monday’s devastating tornado has not only destroyed hundreds of homes and left 3,000 without power, it has been confirmed that it also took twenty-four precious lives – some adults, some children. With miles upon miles of property left destroyed and at least two-hundred and forty injured, Oklahoma’s need for immediate aid is clear. That’s why Moms Against Hunger is responding. Yesterday our first team arrived in Moore to begin our work feeding those who have been affected by the devastating storm. Read More

Senate panel OKs tax-welfare benefits for newly legal immigrants  The Senate Judiciary Committee voted this week to allow illegal immigrants who get legal status to begin collecting tax-welfare payments, as the panel spent a fourth day working through amendments to the massive immigration bill and party-line splits began to emerge. In one major change, the committee voted 17-1 to make a third drunken-driving conviction a deportable offense for the newly legalized immigrants if at least one of those offenses occurs after they are approved for legal status.

Local Government Should Not Take The Cheese  Wherever we look today we find corruption. This is not surprising in a culture that has rejected God as the Source of Law and Government. Indeed, at every level of government, our laws are being broken by the very people we entrust with the power to enforce them. And with each immoral expansion of government power, we are left with less liberty. Thomas Jefferson said, “The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.” And vigilance is precisely what we now need to practice — diligently and locally. Read More

It’s Time for the IRS to go  By now, I’m sure everyone has heard about the IRS targeting scandal. I have heard many theories as to why this targeting occurred. Some have claimed that the Cincinnati IRS office was simply overworked, and the words “Tea Party” and “Patriot” were simply words used to filter through hundreds of 501(c) applications. Some have suggested the IRS was trying to win favor with the Obama administration. Still another theory is that this was ordered by the President or his advisors to try to marginalize the groups that bested the Democrats in the 2010 midterm elections. Read More

Behind the IRS Scandal and the attacks on Obama  In what must totally confuse the public, the left leaning, liberal media is now daily hawking a news story that the IRS has been purposely targeting applications for conservative charities and educational non profits. What? This is news? The liberal media has been targeting conservative organizations and personalities for years, so why should they blame the government for doing the same? Ah, but you see, there is a very good reason. Read More

Gang of Eight Betrays Americans  The Gang of Eight immigration bill can be summed up as amnesty now, border closing never. The Department of Homeland Security is not required to build a fence (which was ordered by the Secure Fence Act signed by President George W. Bush). DHS is required only to submit a plan. If the DHS Secretary decides she has not reached 90 percent of border security, a “trigger” kicks in: the creation of a Southern Border Security Commission empowered (horrors!) to make recommendations. After six months of pondering its mission, the Commission automatically self-liquidates, so there will never be border security. Read More
