American Hostages Freed, Mixed Messages, Justices Take Up Obama's Amnesty Orders	American Hostages Freed Every American celebrates the release over the weekend of five Americans held by Iran. Let's call them what they were -- hostages. Predictably, President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry were trumpeting the exchange as evidence of the value of their diplomatic strategy.
A Tale Of Two Nations, Debate Night Fight, A Great Pro-Life Opportunity	A Tale Of Two Nations The Obama Administration must be disconnected from reality. Consider these statements regarding the same event -- Iran's seizure of our patrol boats and sailors.
Obama's Humiliation, WWRD -- What Would Reagan Do?, Debate Night	Obama's Humiliation The Obama Administration is on "spin overdrive" trying to downplay Iran's seizure of two U.S. ships and ten sailors. Secretary of State John Kerry literally thanked the Iranians for their help. Vice President Joe Biden brushed off the incident, saying, "This was just standard nautical practice." Standard practice? Sorry, Joe, but we're not that dumb.
Bubble Boy?, Heckuva Job, Haley	Bubble Boy? Is the president really as isolated from reality as he sounded last night? I could write pages analyzing every misleading and inaccurate comment. But I'll focus on just a few.
Friends Of Faith, The State Of The Left, Big Labor Bracing For Big Loss	Friends Of Faith The fight to defend religious liberty against burdensome Obamacare mandates did not end with the Hobby Lobby case. Previous administrations likely would have gotten the court's message from that case, which granted certain for-profit businesses a religious exemption from the government's coercive contraception mandate. But not this one.
More Attacks Coming?, Obama's Empty Seat, FBI Probe Expands	More Attacks Coming? Last week we told you about the assassination attempt on Philadelphia Police Officer Jesse Hartnett. Edward Archer, who fired 13 shots at close range into Officer Hartnett's patrol car, confessed to police that he did so "in the name of Islam." In recent years, Archer made two trips to the Middle East -- one to Saudi Arabia for the hajj and one extended visit to Egypt.
North Korea's Nukes, Iran Shows Off Its Missiles, Obama's New Rules	North Korea's Nukes The U.N. Security Council held an emergency, closed-door meeting this morning to discuss North Korea's claim that it successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. The underground detonation was some kind of nuclear device, but intelligence analysts are skeptical, for the moment at least, that it was in fact a hydrogen bomb. If it was a hydrogen bomb, the national security threats to our allies and us would grow significantly.
Obama Takes Aim At Second Amendment, Culture War Rages On	Obama Takes Aim At Second Amendment "The biggest problems that we're facing right now have to do with [the president] trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that's what I intend to reverse when I'm president of the United States of America." Those words could have been spoken by any conservative in opposition to President Obama's newly announced executive actions targeting Second Amendment rights. But they weren't.

Four Stars For Honesty, A Victory In Utah	We Need You! Please help American Values make the most of our generous year-end, matching gift opportunity! There are only three days left in 2015. In the last couple of weeks, I have been in multiple meetings and on conference calls strategizing for 2016 with leaders representing every facet of the conservative movement. While I can't divulge the details of those meetings, I have been reminded again that it doesn't really matter what your number one issue is.
