Kyle Nazareth As Presidents' Day dawns, reminding us of the leaders who shaped our nation, it's fitting to revisit the unparalleled legacy of George Washington, the holiday's original honoree. Our first president was a monumental leader; he led the Continental Army through the Revolutionary War, unified the discordant states during the framing of the Constitution, and [...]

Bill Donohue The church invasion that took place at Cities Church on January 18 in St. Paul, Minnesota was a flagrant violation of constitutional law, federal law and common decency. It is the kind of behavior associated with totalitarian regimes, not democratic polities. Yet the outcry from all quarters—government, religious, civic, educational, the media—has been miniscule.
