Ruth Bader Ginsburg's writings show her to be a radical, doctrinaire feminist, far out of the mainstream. She shares the chip-on-the-shoulder, radical feminist view that American women have endured centuries of oppression and mistreatment from men. That's why, in her legal writings, she self-identifies with feminist Sarah Grimke's statement, "All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks," and with feminist Simone de Beauvoir's put-down of women as "the second sex." (De Beauvoir's most famous guote is, "Marriage is an obscene bourgeois institution.") A typical feminist. Ruth Bader Ginsbura wants affirmative action quota hiring...

(Full Title) Kelsey Grammer Stands Up For Life, Says Reproductive Rights Is a ‘Dishonest’ Name for Abortion We don’t see much common sense coming from Hollywood these days. It’s a place where conservatives have basically been told they aren’t welcome. However, every once in awhile we see conservatives who aren’t afraid to stand up for what’s right. Kelsey Grammar is one of those conservatives and he recently sat down for an interview that ended up being a strong defense of the pro-life movement. Grammer told the Times he has “as much respect for women and women’s issues as possible,” but...

President Trump is planning a trip soon to the United Kingdom, and this has London’s failed Muslim mayor in meltdown mode. Sadiq Khan has been in non-stop attack mode against President Trump, all while his city is falling into massive decay with soaring crime and unhappy citizens, thanks to his “open door” policy for migrants. President Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani set the irresponsible mayor straight, telling him to focus on his city, and do his job instead of attacking a world leader. From Washington Examiner Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani offered stinging advice to London Mayor Sadiq Khan,...

Homeland Security is preparing to release dozens of immigrant parents from custody this week in order to reunite them with their young children, blaming a judge’s deadline for forcing them to reimpose the catch-and-release policy the Trump administration was trying to end. Government lawyers went to court last week to suggest they wouldn’t be able to meet the strict deadlines and go through all of the checks they usually do to make sure they’re releasing children to safe situations. “There’s always going to be a tension between a faster release and a safe release,” said Sarah B. Fabian, a Justice...

Lawyers for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort are crying foul over a meeting Justice Department prosecutors held with four Associated Press reporters last year as news organizations and the FBI bore down on the longtime lobbyist and political consultant. Manafort’s defense has argued for months that the off-the-record session on April 11, 2017, was a potential conduit for improper leaks to the press about the probe that led to two criminal cases against the former Trump campaign chief. Now, Manafort’s attorneys have fresh evidence they say bolsters their claims: two memos written by FBI agents who attended the meeting...

Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire." So said St Catherine of Siena whose festival day it is today. Marriage is intended to be a way in which man and woman help each other to become what God meant each one to be, their deepest and truest selves. Many are full of fear for the future of the prospects of our world but the message of the celebrations in this country and far beyond its shores is the right one – this is a joyful day! It is good that people in...

Justice Ginsburg: “I Would Not Look to the U.S. Constitution” Posted By Roger Aliman on July 3, 2018 Conservatives are often ridiculed for criticizing activist judges who fail to respect the Constitution. We are told that it is not conservative originalists (labeled ignorant and extremist) but rather enlightened liberal judges—with their nuanced understanding of constitutional penumbras—who truly respect the spirit of the Constitution Conservatives, however, have good reason to be skeptical of the left’s “respect’’ for the Constitution. Just last week, for example, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told an Egyptian TV station that she would not recommend the...

As seen on Justice With Judge Jeanine Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren questioned why feminists have not been speaking out against the left's attacks against those on the right, particularly conservative women. Appearing on "Justice with Judge Jeanine" Saturday night, Lahren said that those on the left think that they can harass others in public and think it is acceptable. "What the left believes is that if you challenge their way of thinking in their worldview in an articulate manner, they believe that that's harassment," she said.

It seems tougher by the hour for Planned Parenthood to rationalize its long-held motto, “Care. No Matter What.” That steep task just got harder this week, amid revelations that a shuttered Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Iowa broke client confidentiality by leaving behind personal health information (PHI) records for over 2,500 of its former clients. In early May, a Dubuque office affiliated with Planned Parenthood of the Heartland completed the sale of its property to Clarity Clinic, a local pregnancy help organization, and left behind a closet full of patient files that took Planned Parenthood staff 10 days to come...

In view of the differences between this definition and...

The mainstream media and the Democratic Party have gleefully counted on support from the black community for years. Their messaging has been clear: At best, Republicans don’t care about black people, and at worst, are made up largely of racists. Unless you want to betray your race, you must vote Democrat. So, you can imagine Democrats’ dismay at the growing movement of black Americans who are — as some have put it — leaving the Democratic plantation after waking up to the fact that the Democratic Party is bad news for African-Americans. That brings us to Antonia Okafor. She’s a...

JERUSALEM, Israel – The Palestinian Authority accused Australia of making a declaration of war following its decision to withhold financial aid to the PA if it continues to reward terrorists and their families. It's one more nation pressuring the PA to stop a policy many call "pay to slay." The controversial policy provides money to convicted Palestinian terrorists and their families for attacks on Israelis. The payments coming from this fund add up to more than $330 million each year. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop objected to the policy saying, "I am concerned that in providing funds for this aspect...
