However, with voting discrepancies already filed in Louisville/Jefferson county, Bevin has not conceded the race, calling for a … Continued

On the heels of the election, with Virginia firmly in the liberal majority–even in some rural counties, here are the reflections of Michael Farris, President of the Alliance for Defending Freedom, and Virginia resident.

As a self-proclaimed adherent to Hanlon’s Razor, I once cynically viewed the frenzied focus on FBI actions during the 2016 Russian election-meddling investigation as partisan and overwrought. Hanlon’s Razor suggests that we never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity or incompetence. Having proudly served in the FBI for 25 years, … Continued

Mueller, 26, was abducted by ISIS in August 2013 in Aleppo, Syria after leaving a Doctor’s Without Borders hospital there. US … Continued

In a letter to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the state’s Attorney General Ken Paxton stated the children in the case of a mother who wants her seven-year-old son to undergo a gender “transition” are in “immediate and irrevocable danger.” Mr. Paxton called on the Department to open an immediate investigation, noting the agency … Continued

One of the things that struck me the most watching the events unfolding (around the death of Al-Baghdadi)  was the fact that President Trump knew about the ongoing operation to kill or capture ISIS founder and leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for more than a week.
