The debt negotiations in Washington have reached a new low. President Obama has played the Social Security card. In an interview with CBS, the President said he “cannot guarantee” that Social Security checks would go out if a deal is not made. “I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we…

It’s a victory for the Pledge of Allegiance and for the American people – including the tens of thousands of you who stood with us in support of the Pledge and the phrase “one nation, under God.” You’ll recall on the final day of the U.S. Open Golf Championship in late June, NBC aired what…

We’re going back to court in our legal challenge to stop the building of an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero in New York City.

My grandfather came to the United States with his family through Ellis Island at the age of 14 – to escape religious persecution.   At a time when the fight for religious freedom is still very real…

We reported last week about the outcry after NBC edited out the words “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance when it broadcast a golf feature. And, now another issue involving the Pledge has surfaced – this one is very difficult to believe.  One city in Oregon is limiting the voluntary recitation of the Pledge…

I’m delighted to report an important victory for King’s Ranch in Jonesboro, Arkansas. King’s Ranch is a home for children in need. It describes its goal this way: “to provide a loving and structured home environment that promotes heart healing. Our purpose is to restore their childhood and share with them and others the hope…

It’s an issue that you will be hearing a lot more about.   Delta Air Lines is partnering with Saudi Arabian Airlines, the government-owned airline that embraces discriminatory policies targeting religion, ethnicity, and gender.   In announcing the partnership in January, Delta issued this statement as part of its press release: “We are honored that…
