And that brings me to an incident that occurred at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. Military leaders ordered soldiers to remove a banner promoting Vacation Bible School at the base’s Frontier Chapel. The banner, which...

They despise American greatness. The media propagandists are the disciples of former President Barack Hussein Obama, the man who promised to fundamentally transform America.

Ms. Gay, who is also a member of the editorial board of The New York Times, said she was “disturbed” to...
