Laurie Cardoza-Moore, President of Proclaiming Justice to The Nations today announced the global premiere next week of PJTN’s latest major documentary film titled, “Israel Indivisible: The Case For The Ancient Homeland,” on Thursday, November 14 at Ariel University in Israel.: The event will include a VIP invitation list for the screening of both local and national […]

The United States has ridden — and tamed — the wild global tiger since the end of World War II. The frantic ride has been dangerous, to us, but a boon to humanity. At the same time, America’s leadership role has been misrepresented and misunderstood abroad and at home, including by some of our country’s […]

When PunditFact — the new offspring from the folks at PolitiFact — contacted me, they wanted sources for “all of the claims” in the following statement I made Nov. 4 on CNN’s “Crossfire”: “In 1900, at all three levels of government — federal, state and local — government took less than 10 percent of the […]

Three famous men died on Nov. 22, 1963. The one getting the most attention, understandably, is John F. Kennedy. Less so the other two: Aldous Huxley, author of the futuristic novel “Brave New World,” and Clive Staples Lewis. Of the three, it was Lewis who not only was the most influential of his time, but […]

House Speaker John Boehner told reporters Wednesday that the GOP leadership has no intention of going to conference committee on the Senate’s comprehensive immigration bill passed in June. House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy told Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles Director Angelica Salas last week that the House would not pass its immigration […]

Commentators have missed the significance of President Clinton’s public expression of his “personal opinion” that Obama should “honor his commitment” to let people keep their health insurance plans if they like them. By intervening in the chaos surrounding the Obamacare launch, President Clinton has staked out ground for his wife in her efforts to position […]

After the recent revelation that the National Security Agency monitored cell phone conversations in foreign countries, including the cell phone conversations of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other world leaders, the excuse of President Obama’s spokesmen and most ardent defenders was that he didn’t know the NSA was conducting such controversial surveillance. Two thoughts immediately […]

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a pro-life legal organization that focuses on constitutional law, said a decision by a federal appeals court that clears the way for the ObamaCare HHS Mandate to be put on hold represents a “significant victory for protecting the religious beliefs of individuals and corporations.” The opinion, posted: here, […]

Liberal marketing gurus here in Colorado are masters of Obamacare distraction. While customers struggle to apply through the still-broken health insurance exchange and consumers grapple with cancellation notices, these hipster ad designers are partying it up. Who cares about the insurance market meltdown? They’ve got keg stands and one-night stands! The “Got Insurance?” campaign is […]

I didn’t know what a libertarian was when I started reporting. I was just another liberal. I knew the Republicans were icky, and Democrats were more like me — except they didn’t care about debt. I had no idea there was an actual movement of thinking people who want to honor the principles of the […]

The polls show that a majority of all voters would like to see every incumbent defeated, including their own members of the House and Senate. Sobering news indeed. The reason, in my view, is that the politicians are out of step with the electorate. While voters are crying for pragmatism, they get only ideology. When […]

According to some estimates, there are more than 100 million traffic signals in the U.S., but whatever the number, how many of us would like Washington, in the name of public health and safety, to be in sole charge of their operation? Congress or a committee it authorizes would determine the position of traffic signals […]

PARIS — The Geneva talks on Iranian nukes have turned into a “pull my finger” charade. Iran says that it’s only making electricity, not nuclear bombs. The U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany are somehow all supposed to agree on reeling Iran in — but let’s face it: Russia and China are close Iranian […]

“Substandard” and “cut- rate” is what President Obama calls the health plans that millions of Americans have lost, even though they wanted to keep them. Backpedaling on his promise that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” Obama is now telling Americans another whopper. The president claims the insurance Americans can get […]

Americans are being led down the wrong path. There has been, and continues to be, a concerted effort on the part of liberal politicians – who are encouraged by the media – to convince the American people that their health care system is the worst in the industrialized world, that doctors are to blame for […]

The left is scared to death that its favored 2016 candidate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, could be on the ropes. Hillary’s favorable ratings are down dramatically from when she left office — in April 2013, her favorability rating stood at 56 percent, but by the end of October, it had dropped to 46 […]

“Character is what you do when no one is watching.” It’s a bit of a trite saying, attributed to coaches, motivational speakers and fortune cookie writers (by the way, whose idea was it to replace fortune cookie predictions with treacly aphorisms from the “Successories” reject pile?). Still, the expression’s popularity illustrates the power of the […]

In Geneva, Switzerland, The United States and other major powers appeared close to a deal with Iran to curb its nuclear program in exchange for lifting some economic sanctions against the terrorist-sponsoring state. Negotiations, however, fell apart at the last minute when France and Iran balked at the final wording on the interim draft. Talks […]

In opposing ObamaCare, the Tea Party took a position that increasing numbers of Americans agree with, now that ObamaCare’s potential for disaster is becoming clearer by the day. But in trying to defund ObamaCare without the Congressional votes to do so, the Tea Party made a major tactical mistake. Polls show that this mistake has […]

Churchville,: VA–President Obama is demanding, by Executive Order, what congress will not give him by vote. With winter approaching and the “Obamacare” mess hanging over his shoulder, he is now ordering the: U.S.: economy to hitch itself to more and more of the costly and erratic “renewable” energy sources. These have already bankrupted: Spain: and are about to bankruptGreat Britain: and: Germany.:  […]

The European Coalition for Israel (ECI) conference for Israel was established in 2004 and held annually in Europe. Tomas Sandell has a vision for a dedicated non-Jewish organization to “lobby” on behalf of Israel in Brussels and the capital cities of Europe. The ECI has a board of Christian leaders from UK, Germany, Sweden, Israel/USA […]

Third parties have had an unbroken record of failure in American presidential politics. So it was refreshing to see in the Tea Party an insurgent movement, mainly of people who were not professional politicians, but who nevertheless had the good sense to see that their only chance of getting their ideals enacted into public policies […]

In 2007, a group of governors and state education chiefs got together to try to remedy the declining and degraded U.S. public academic system. Their goal was to establish a new set of standards that better prepared kids for college, careers and their ever-changing, hyper-connected and globally competitive world. In short, as a result, the […]

“The end justifies the means” is an unstated rationale that guides much liberal thinking and rationalizes immoral behavior in service to a supposedly greater good. But a column I’ve just read stretches this twisted ethical calculus to a new level. Columnist Michael Cohen, in an op-ed for the New York Daily News, tells us, essentially, […]

In my last column, I proposed some explanations for why many conservative parents have left-wing children. In a nutshell, American parents who hold traditional American values — such as belief in small government as the basis of liberty, in a God-based moral code, that American military strength is the greatest contributor to world peace and […]
