I came across this Margaret Thatcher (RIP) quote and thought how quaint it seems in the pick-your-gender era: Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.

The deadliest arrow in the secularist quiver is a religious man or Bible scholar who muddies the Bible’s moral teachings.

Today, I attended the Gosnell trial. It was exciting to see Kimberly Guilfoyle of Fox News’ The Five in the courtroom. It is a sign that, at last, national attention is being brought to this case.

They brought on the sexual revolution, demanded natural childbirth, fought for legalized abortion and turned the mid-life crisis into a force for self-improvement. Now they’re engaged … Continue reading »
