ASSAULT ON US You could not ask for a more perfect illustration of the thesis of my latest book, "Guilty: Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America," than the black president of the United States attacking a powerless white cop for arresting a black Harvard professor -- in a city with a black mayor and a state with a black governor -- as the professor vacations in Martha's Vineyard.

In modern America, the alleged "victim" is always really the aggressor, and the alleged "aggressor" is always the true victim.

President Barack Obama planted the question during a health care press conference, hoping he could satisfy the Chicago Sun-Times, which has been accusing him of not being black enough. He somehow imagined that the rest of the country might not notice the president of the United States gratuitously attacking a cop in a case of alleged "racial profiling."Read On

ABSTINENCE EDUCATION A major U.S. Senate spending bill was approved in subcommittee Tuesday — without any funding for abstinence education.  The Senate Appropriations Labor, HHS, Education and Related Agencies legislation does, however, provide money for comprehensive sex education. 

Earlier this summer, lawmakers allowed funding for abstinence education programs to expire, while increasing the amount of money going to Title X, the main funding source for abortion giant Planned Parenthood.

"We are blindly pouring millions into advocating the lowest expected teen behaviors," he explained.  "We need to teach to the highest expected standard–keeping sex within committed marriage — rather than expecting the least and getting the worst."

Abstinence money has been routinely cut since the Democrats took over the House and Senate. Focus on the Family reporting.

This week, the police chief in Alexandria, Virginia, with nearly 20 years of exemplary service was forced to resign when his car crashed and a full two hours later, four sobriety tests revealed a blood alcohol content nearly twice the legal limit. His resignation, rendered with “a great deal of humility and remorse,” according to an article in the Washington Examiner, cost him “significant” benefits compared to what he would have received if he had worked another seven months to reach 20 years of service. The financial costs, though, are puny compared to the damage to his reputation and the devastation to his family.

David P. Baker, a handsome, distinguished-looking, prematurely grey-haired man, had achieved his dreams of the top slot in his chosen profession in his chosen city. Like South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, and New Jersey Governor James McGreevey –– the list goes into the hundreds –– Baker threw away a life-time of achievement and well-earned respect for the “pleasure of sin for a season.” Read On
