A GOP senator has introduced legislation to curtail the potential overreach of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the wake of the Democrats' vast expansion of the tax collection bureau's budget and their plan to hire tens of thousands more agents. The news comes as a report surfaced of five IRS agents embezzling $400,000 of funds meant for COVID relief and spending the money on vacations and luxury items.

Tuesday, during a meeting of the Biden administration's Task Force on Reproductive Health Care Access, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona remarked, "Students need access to health care to thrive in school and in life, and that includes reproductive health care ..." Cardona's message was clear - women can choose to abort either their child or their future. 

A strange development is taking place in the American political landscape. At precisely the moment the Left is sounding the alarm about the growing threat of "Christian nationalism" (see here, here, here, and here), they are increasingly employing religious arguments in support of their policy preferences. 

On September 30, Russia's President Vladimir Putin declared once again that he would use "all available means" to defend Russian territory. Putin has continued to use such words as "escalating" and "provocative" to describe Ukraine's military operations, intentionally triggering fears of his own potentially deadly responses. And while many observers have implied that Putin is bluffing about nukes, or that he would not dare to use the weapons he has at his disposal - both strategic and tactical - Putin's threats should be taken seriously.  

If the Justice Department investigates journalists exposing those who profit from performing double mastectomies and sterilizations of healthy children, it will compound the Biden administration's "threats to democracy and to the rule of law," a Republican congressman said Monday.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit last week upheld a Texas judge's practice of recognizing volunteer chaplains at start of his court sessions, rejecting an anti-religion group's claim that the practice is "coercive."

A funny thing happened to the Democrats' same-sex marriage bill on its trip from the House to the Senate: people actually started reading the legislation.  When they did, an uncomfortable reality set in - nothing in the text explicitly outlawed polygamy.  It was just a "drafting error," the more liberal senators claimed.  But it wasn't a "drafting error" when a New York judge recognized polyamory late last month.  How much longer until the party who wants "love" to be the legal basis for every relationship follows suit?

As legislators try to get answers about why the FBI reportedly dispatched dozens of armed agents to raid the home of a pro-life advocate, the man's wife says she and their seven children are seeking healing and closure. While the Houck family and the authorities dispute the details of the case, pro-life legislators say the reaction demonstrates that the Biden administration has weaponized the government against his political opponents while turning a blind eye to his supporters' misdeeds.

Though the initial Category 4 hurricane sweeping the southwestern coast has been downgraded to a Category 1 as of Thursday morning, Ian is still wreaking havoc in the lives of Floridians, with rainy repercussions expected to ripple out to neighboring states and along the east coast.

As Hurricane Ian continues to make its way up the east coast, leaving destruction in its wake, the tragic loss of life, home, and treasured possessions has devastated the nation. Even when circumstances are bleak, however, the gift of new life can always provide a source of hope. For labor and delivery nurses in states like Florida, the arrival of a hurricane has long been thought to bring with it the arrival of many new little ones who will need care.

On Tuesday, over a thousand students across six northern Virginia counties walked out of their high school and middle school classrooms in protest of Governor Glenn Youngkin's (R) newly released "2022 Model Policies on the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for All Students and Parents in Virginia's Public Schools." Inviting parents back into education, the draft defers to mothers and fathers to make the best decisions for students, particularly when it comes to issue of transgenderism.
