A Democrat on the Federal Communications Commission wants to see changes that could narrow the scope of new net neutrality rules set for a vote on Thursday. Mignon Clyburn, one of three Democrats on the FCC, has asked Chairman Tom Wheeler to roll back some of his provisions before the full commission votes on them, FCC officials said. The request…

The U.S. homeland security chief said on Sunday he takes seriously a threat made by Somali-based Islamist militants against shopping malls, including the Mall of America in Minnesota, and urged people going there to be careful. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was reacting to a video released by al-Shabaab appearing to call for attacks on Western shopping areas, specifically mentioning…

It shouldn’t be for one party only. I attended the dinner in New York City last week during which Rudy Giuliani — an unexpected last-minute crasher — claimed President Obama “doesn’t love America.” The people there reacted the way you would when an angry uncle explodes at the Thanksgiving dinner table: with embarrassed silence. I had been told the dinner was…

When working with engaged couples in premarital counseling, when I’ve asked the question, What do you think is the biggest looming threat to your living happily ever after together?, I usually hear replies that touch on issues like pornography, affairs, lack of healthy communication, having children, growing distance between spouses, conflict with in-laws, ESPN (!), and placing a higher priority…

This is an interview I did awhile back. I touch on a lot of topics here from leadership,teaching and starting Churches to my failures and pain. I hope it will bring some encouragement to you,especially if you feel called to be a leader. What was your childhood like? How did God use it to prepare you for the work He…

Rudy Giuliani, after declaring at a private dinner Wednesday night that he thinks President Barack Obama’s policy decisions and public remarks about terrorists show that he “doesn’t love you, and he doesn’t love me,” and most of all, he doesn’t think the president “loves America,” took to the airwaves Thursday to expand on that statement. “Well, first of all, I’m…

We hear a lot about the United States’ Judeo-Christian heritage, but according to President Obama, “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.” That’s what the president told a White House conference on “countering violent extremism” on Wednesday. Obama has said similar things in the past: “I also know that Islam has always been a…

The House should split immigration funding into two bills. Senate Democrats are filibustering a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which runs out of spending authority February 26, because it also blocks a number of President Obama’s unilateral executive actions on immigration. At least six Senate Democrats have opposed some of those policies but – predictably enough –…

President Obama opened this week’s White House Conference on Violent Extremism with a speech about community-based counter-radicalization efforts, and his Administration is being roundly mocked for its refusal to use terms like “Muslim terrorism” or “Islamism.” The mockery is deserved. Foreign policy is not a Harry Potter tale of good versus He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. And war cannot be won against an enemy…

A Texas judge explains that the president’s action on immigration is an attempt to create law from scratch. When Texas filed a constitutional challenge to President Obama’s executive action on immigration, his supporters scoffed and ridiculed the suit as lacking any merit. First, they argued, states are not injured by the federal policy. Second, they contended that Congress had already…

WASHINGTON — His secretary of defense says “the world is exploding all over.” His attorney general says that the threat of terror “keeps me up at night.” The world bears them out. On Tuesday, American hostage Kayla Mueller is confirmed dead. On Wednesday, the U.S. evacuates its embassy in Yemen, cited by President Obama last September as an American success…
