Since 1982 when then-president Ronald Reagan refused to sign the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, better known as the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), it has been kept on a legislative backburner awaiting a ratification vote in the U.S. Senate. Suddenly in early May, both Senator John Kerry, Chairman...
The White House website has always featured biographies of past presidents.

A Christian, conservative talk show host in Salem, Oregon protesting the Vote-By-Mail is refusing to fill out his mail-in ballot until May 15th and then he will hand-deliver it to a designated drop- or he’ll deliver it to the Election’s Office personally and he’s not all that excited with Mitt Romney.

It is time for my annual “Strictly Personal” column. I think it only fair that readers should have an opportunity to learn a little something about the person who writes the words they read. Today’s column is designed with that goal in mind. And since Charley Reese (one of my favorite columnists) stopped writing,...
The Obama Record: When Vladimir Lenin sought to remake Russian society into a “proletariats’ paradise,” he targeted three sectors for control: health care, bankingand education. Sound familiar?

By Phyllis Schlafly Contrary to politicians who want to call a truce about social issues, there is absolutely no way to separate social and fiscal issues; they are locked in a tight political embrace.

Vice President Joe Biden’s son, the current Attorney General of Delaware, has removed the arrest power of county Sheriffs in that state. Are we all blind as well as lazy, crazy and stupid? Can there be any excuse for not stopping this dead in it’s tracks? Wake up don’t you see this is the...
Leftists are to be judged only by a promised future, never by the present or by what has been delivered. Case in point: student loans.

As most are aware now I am sure, the Republican Caucus turned their backs on the Citizens of TN and sent the Employee Safe Commute Act to “Summer Study” (a euphemism for death by inattention). They attempted to play the standard game and voice vote it and its companion bill to the trash heap...

It has been presented by members of House Leadership that the Caucus, i.e. Republicans, has not made up its mind regarding HB 3560.
