Townhall… The Strange ‘Black Lives Matter’ Movement, by Rachel Alexander
Aug 10, 2015 -- The Black Lives Matter movement is a bizarre new phenomenon that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

The Daily Signal… Bad Iran Deal Breeds Warranted Skepticism, by Michaela Dodge
August 04, 2015 -- On Wednesday, President Obama will make a personal push to sell the flawed Iran deal to the American public and Congress.
