…I’m telling you, after Obama’s embarrassing trip to Cuba, I bet he’ll go to Tehran before he exits the Oval Office. He’ll be on a mission to bring about peace and bridge the gap. Y’all doubt me?…
…Students at the University of Southern California protested a speech by David Horowitz last Wednesday, not by shouting him down or otherwise disrupting the event, but by duct-taping their own mouths shut and linking together in a pointless human chain at the side of the room in what has been described as the “lamest protest ever.”…

In a Friday interview on C-SPAN, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Colombia Joseph diGenova held up a copy of Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich and said, “I know from conversations with former FBI agents that the FBI, believe it or not, has a copy of this book, Clinton Cash.”
“And they have delved into it deeply,” diGenova said… “FBI agents are now assigned, the first thing they are told is read Clinton Cash, the book, and then come and start your investigation….”
Mass killer Anders Behring Breivik goes to court on Tuesday to accuse the Norwegian state of inhuman treatment… will argue that his isolation in Skien jail violates a ban on “inhuman and degrading treatment”…
Should American citizens be subjected to a government established definition of acceptable religion? Should Congress presume to “prohibit the free exercise” of any citizen’s chosen faith or creed?
Should a free people be penalized if they disagree with what the government deems to be acceptable belief and practice? Should a religious college… be prohibited by any government agency from freely teaching its views concerning personal morality and human behavior? … These are not hyperbolic questions. They are not sensational or speculative. As we speak, Oklahoma Wesleyan University finds itself before the Supreme Court — forced to defend its belief…

Two significant rulings by the National Labor Relations Board in 2015 expanded the interpretation of the “joint employer” rule. Joint employer is a designation given when two firms are involved in the employment practices of an employee.… The real fight here has nothing to do with righting alleged wrongs. The ultimate goal is a unionized fast food work force. … NLRB general counsel Richard Griffin admits that the NLRB action … is all about the Service Employees International Union’s “Fight for $15” wage push. … How will this affect the nation’s 780,000 franchises that provide 9 million jobs?

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rejected a plea Thursday to block a contentious air pollution rule for power plants in a big victory for the Obama administration.

…The officers, reportedly under orders from the administration, did nothing to prevent the protesters from obstructing access to the auditorium. Let me repeat: a state-run institution apparently told state-paid police officers to allow protesters to violate the free speech and free assembly rights of conservatives and those who wish to hear them. In the United States.
By the time we arrived, hundreds of students had mobbed virtually every entrance and exit. And all hell was breaking loose…
Those who wanted to hear me speak were blocked completely. A line eventually formed outside a secret back entrance, where students were sneaked in three and four at a time – a smuggling ring of free speech.…
We reported earlier this week that conservative author Ben Shapiro was banned from speaking at California State University LA by the school’s president.
The school then relented and said Shapiro could come after all. Then things got crazy.

Our legal team, the AFLC, has taken on the case of the Oklahoma gun range that was targeted in a jihad sting by designated terror group CAIR.

…Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was a “fool…” for believing in human equality…for believing in parents’ rights… for believing in God… for believing in the meaning of words… for believing in human freedom… for believing in marriage… Antonin Scalia was an obedient, humble, and “foolish” follower of Christ.…
Indiana State House and Senate leadership was remarkably effective at protecting the status quo this year. They killed 11 bills that would have blocked unconstitutional power without so much as a debate or a vote, and gutted another promising bill by changing its intent to something completely different than originally introduced.…
There are a lot of homages on Twitter from people who knew him well, but one of the best ones is from someone I trust to be honest about this story. It’s very short, but I think it sums up the character of Antonin Scalia. …
…He told a story about a small dinner he attended in England. His hosts raised their classes and said “God save the queen.”
He asked his hosts what the equivalent statement would be in the United States. They responded, “God save the President.”
Justice Scalia said, “no, God save the Constitution.…”
Some of Justice Antonin Scalia’s decisions I agreed with and some I disagreed with. But I’ve never once doubted the sincerity of his beliefs.
Now that he is gone from this earth, I can tell a story I’ve held inside for many years, a scene that touched me deeply and profoundly. I cannot think of him without remembering this moment.…
…Antonin Scalia was one of the most consequential justices on the Supreme Court in at least a generation, not for what he did necessarily but for standing up for and not abrogating his pledge to the Constitution; something that tragically too many of his colleagues at all levels of the Judiciary have not. … If Mitch McConnell allows President Obama to pick a justice to fill the vacancy, he will doubtless choose a fellow ideological traveler who will trash the Constitution or twist it for political expediency to legislate from the bench…
…When I saw the news my stomach dropped. This is not only a tragedy for his family and friends, it is a tragic loss for our country.
This nation is balancing on a slender thread of Liberty. And one of our fiercest defenders is lost. When a warrior falls while holding the line, it is up to us to ensure that the line holds.
It shouldn’t be this way. The fate of our great nation should not be at risk from the death of one man. But this is the sad fact. If we lose the Supreme Court, the damage to our Republic may be irreparable.…
We have lost a great man and a great Justice.…
