“Right now, too many sexual assaults in our military go unreported. My daughter is a military veteran so I know exactly the kind of hard-working women we have in our armed forces. This situation is a travesty and we need to fix it now. As a doctor, I’m used to working with others to find [...]
With a simple FACEBOOK posting, Representative Erik Paulsen (R-MN-03) echoed the words of Representative Steve King (R-IA-04) who explained his reasoning in declining his chance to run for the Iowa Senate seat : This week, I made a simple device to put toothpaste back in the tube. But a device to put the Leftist genie [...]
Anyone who reads the FY2012 Annual Report on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategy issued by the Department of Defense on May 7th, immediately is alarmed by Figure 4 (page 22) which reported that number of military members who made an anonymous report that they were sexually assaulted, but never relayed the attack to superiors, [...]

The photo above shows the woman who escaped, Amanda Berry, and her daughter, along with Berry’s sister on the viewer’s left. All three kidnapped women and the little girl [...]
Willie Sutton : “I rob banks because that’s where the money is.” This week is National Crime Victims’ Rights Week with the theme “New Challenges, New Solutions” — and also the perfect week for the House to enact H.R.1637 — Crime Victims Fund Preservation Act before “someone” robs the money.

We most recently have seen Wayne La Pierre speaking out on behalf of the NRA defending gun carriers with [...]
Guns. Yep, it’s a subject that a lot of people take seriously … and if you are rated number 3 in gun violence, how should a state legislature respond ? Well, two Alabama legislators have a plan … State Senators Scott Beason, R-Gardendale, and Roger Bedford, D-Russellville, want to make it easier to carry concealed [...]
The MN GOP has proposed a single solution that addresses multiple problems. We’ve seen the proposal that we arm school employees – teachers, principals, janitors, librarians, etc. Now the MN GOP proposes we make firearm safety and firearm proficiency mandatory, similar to the way it is taught in military-style academies. By doing away with gun [...]
The Minnesota Family Council apparently hates infertile couples who seek help in starting families. In North Dakota, they’re trying to abolish fertility procedures AND to outlaw some of the most popular forms of contraception. I’m struck by how the right, despite their abuse of the word Freedom, are consistently the ones who try to trample [...]
Trust … it’s something that is easily given … and difficult to achieve after it has been questioned. @reperikpaulsen c’mon Rep, we all know that was in the 112th Congress.
