Why did Nancy Pelosi choke up? The Democratic Party leader in America’s House of Representatives stormed from the floor of the House before Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had finished saying his goodbyes following his speech to Congress.

Pelosi was “near tears,” she said, over what she had heard.

What had so upset her? She was, she said, “saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States” and “by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation.”

A Fight to Keep Catholic Schools Catholic

In San Francisco, the archdiocese is under fire for teaching according to church doctrine.

San Franciscans are currently debating a simple question: Should the government respect the right of Catholic schools to be authentically Catholic?

San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone thinks so. But eight California senators and assemblymen sent the archbishop a letter last month, saying that his actions in issuing new faculty guidelines “foment a discriminatory environment in the communities we serve.” On Feb. 23, two of the signers even asked the California Assembly Labor and Employment Committee and the Assembly Judiciary Committee to investigate the archdiocese’s actions.

Here’s the back story. During contract renegotiations with nearly 500 staff members last month, the archdiocese issued an updated faculty guide for its Catholic high schools. The addendum introduced three new clauses—which staff members are required to “affirm and believe”—denouncing masturbation, pornography, same-sex marriage, contraception and other issues that, in line with Catholic teaching, are described as “gravely evil.”

Prime Minister Netanyahu's Address to a Joint Session of Congress

How good it was to hear again a world leader address a Joint Session of Congress from a platform of moral integrity, strength of character and truth.  What an astonishing contrast with the sniveling, little Marxist occupying the White House.  Lord, protect this nation during the perilous several years ahead and grant us a true leader like this.

Governor Walker's Interview Today with Chris Wallace

The more we learn about Governor Scott Walker, the more we like him.  In the heartland of the Progressive Movement and Big Labor, he has transformed Wisconsin -- cutting $2B in taxes, eliminating a $3.6B deficit, facilitating 100,000 new jobs, destroying the public employee unions' stranglehold on the taxpayers, enacting right-to-work legislation, and winning 3 elections in 4 years.  It is a record that no other candidate can match and testament that this is a man who can unite Americans and restore our Republic.
