COLORADO SPRINGS — Out: The boy who cried wolf. In: The girl who cried birth control. Desperate Democrats are imposing false-alarm feminist politics on a high-stakes recall election in Colorado this month.

Summer is traditionally a slow season for precious metals, but this summer started with a rout. In the last week of June, gold and silver hit 2-year lows of $1,192 and $18.61 respectively.

This is a statement issued by Jordan Sekulow of the: ACLJ: Secretary of State John Kerry’s statement urging Iran to allow American Pastor Saeed Abedini to return to his family — to those who love him and miss him — is an important diplomatic step in the effort for his freedom. We welcome this renewed involvement […]
