    So Long…It’s Been A Good Ride

    This double standard has to stop. Neil Gorsuch did nothing wrong in going on “Fox & Friends.”

    Liberals overreact to Neil Gorsuch’s “Fox & Friends” appearance

    Has President Trump been impeached? If House leadership chooses to discontinue the impeachment process, the charges are in effect dropped.

    Has President Trump been impeached? No!

    Harold Pease - December 26, 2019
    Nearly 15 hours of Democrats’ debates have been largely unsatisfying. It’s a difficult, imperfect process, but it can be better. Here’s how.

    Democrats’ debates aren’t helping much

    Nancy Pelosi says Catholics don’t hate — but I do

    Christine Flowers - December 18, 2019
    We are a nation in distress, a chaotic tangle of anger, hatred, and lies. Regardless of how this impeachment thing goes, that will not change.

    A nation in distress
