WASHINGTON TIMES — For 38 years, EMW Women's Surgical Center has been performing abortions in Louisville, Kentucky. It's now the last abortion provider in the state, and it's fighting to keep its doors open and to prevent Kentucky from becoming the first state in the nation without an abortion option. The administration of Gov. Matt Bevin, a Republican, said last year that EMW doesn't have valid transfer agreements with an ambulance service and hospital. State law requires transfer agreements in case a procedure goes wrong.... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — An Illinois woman who runs a child care service out of her home is suing the state, saying its restrictions on day care facilities make it illegal for her to keep a gun in her house for self-defense. Jennifer Miller's lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for central Illinois after the state emerged as a battleground in the post-Parkland gun debate, with citizens and various localities trying to stake claims on either side of the issue....

WASHINGTON TIMES — "Mom, you won't believe what my teacher's talking about right now." That is the text message Regina Young, a parent in North Carolina's Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, said she received from her seventh-grade daughter one day. "Before I could even respond to her text," Ms. Young said, "she told me how uncomfortable she was to hear her teacher tell stories about her transgender home."... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — Concordia Publishing House has been in business since 1869 as the official publishing arm of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod denomination. But apparently the Christian content of its website, particularly an ad for an upcoming Vacation Bible School, is too much for Google AdWords, the online advertising service.... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — President Trump said Monday that he has instructed the Department of Homeland Security not to allow the reported caravans of people traveling through Mexico to be admitted to the U.S. "Despite the Democrat inspired laws on Sanctuary Cities and the Border being so bad and one sided, I have instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security not to let these large Caravans of people into our Country. It is a disgrace. We are the only Country in the World so naive! WALL," Mr. Trumptweeted.... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — The Democratic National Committee's multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the Trump campaign, the Russian government, and WikiLeaks on Friday was met with fanfare not only from the Democratic front, but also from one of the main defendants. The legal offensive alleges a conspiracy between the trio to disrupt the 2016 presidential campaign in order to get Donald Trump elected. The DNC's complaint was filed in a federal district court in Manhattan, N.Y.... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — The Democratic National Committee's Russia collusion law suit against the Trump campaign cites a number of press stories, tweets and investigative reports as evidence, but there is one notable absence. The 66-page suit doesn't mention the Christopher Steele dossier, an investigation financed by the very same DNC as well as the Hilary Clinton campaign and sourced to Kremlin operatives.... (more)

SALT LAKE TRIBUNE — After 11 hours of political elbowing and shoving at the Utah Republican Convention -- held appropriately at a hockey arena -- delegates forced Mitt Romney into a primary election against state Rep. Mike Kennedy in the U.S. Senate race. In fact, Kennedy -- a doctor and lawyer -- finished in first place at the convention with 51 percent of the vote to Romney's 49 percent. The former GOP presidential nominee fell far short of the 60 percent needed to clinch the nomination outright.... (more)

NEWSMAX — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said Saturday that he would make a decision on whether to support President Donald Trump in 2020 "down the road" as he campaigns for a Senate seat in this November's elections. "I will make that decision down the road," Romney, the 2012 presidential candidate, told CNN before speaking at the Utah Republican Convention in West Valley.... (more)

NATIONAL REVIEW — Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, who was scorned for touting his "amazing leadership" following the Valentine's Day shooting in Parkland, Fla., will face a "vote of no confidence" from the union representing his deputies.... (more)

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — If collusion is the twin of conspiracy, then there are lots of colluders running around Washington. Robert Mueller was tasked to find evidence of Trump and Russia collusion that might have warped the 2016 campaign and thrown the election to Trump. After a year, his investigation has found no concrete evidence of collusion. So it has often turned to other purported Trump misadventures. Ironically, collusion of all sorts -- illegal, barely legal, and simply unethical -- has been the sea that Washington fish always swim in.... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Former FBI agent Terry Albury is likely to receive between three and five years in prison when he's sentenced for giving classified information to reporters, raising questions of a double standard benefiting the men who led the bureau at the time of his leaks.... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — Former FBI Director James Comey was being investigated by the government's Office of Special Counsel for potential Hatch Act violations at the time he was fired, according to new documents released Friday as part of a Freedom of Information Act case. The OSC investigation was cut short by the firing, since the office doesn't probe people once they're out of government.... (more)

NEWSMAX — Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will face a number of unhappy delegates at Utah's Republican state convention next week, according to The Salt Lake Tribune columnist Robert Gehrke. Although Romney has already accumulated the necessary amount of signatures to appear on the GOP primary ballot to replace Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, a large amount of "notoriously prickly delegates" seem unconvinced that he's the night choice.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — After my recent column on "fake news," someone sent me an email accusing me of propagating fake news by saying the Bible had anything to do with the founding of America. The email stated the common charge that the Constitution was the product of men of the Enlightenment, many of whom were under Masonic influence as well.... (more)

MICHAEL BARONE — As the likelihood of the charges of Trump campaign "collusion" with Russia seems headed toward zero, the likelihood of proof of a different form of "collusion" seems headed upward toward certainty. The Russia collusion charge had some initial credibility because of businessman Trump's dealings in Russia and candidate Trump's off-putting praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin. It was fueled by breathless media coverage of such trivial events as Jeff Sessions' exchange of pleasantries with the Russian ambassador at a Washington reception.... (more)

CHELSEA SCHILLING — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is facing criticism for a bizarre email she sent for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Friday that said special counsel Robert Mueller had been "fired."... (more)

BOB UNRUH — Andrew McCabe, the fired FBI deputy director, was accused by the Department of Justice's inspector general of lying, and now he's been referred to federal prosecutors. The IG's report on the FBI's onetime second-in-command concluded he lied about media contacts. The IG found McCabe "lacked candor, including under oath, on multiple occasions" in connection with a disclosure to the Wall Street Journal in violation of FBI codes.... (more)

JOAN SWIRSKY — (Author's note: In August 2016, I wrote an article entitled "James Comey and the Stinking Fish Factor," warning readers that the Comey fish was already rotting and that things were bound to get worse. Clearly, they just did. And it's just as clear that the uncontrolled hysteria we are witnessing from Democrats has to do not with bogus accusations about Russia, but the criminal indictments coming down the pike for the people they've blindly defended for decades -- that would be Bill & Hill Clinton -- and possibly against even bigger fish! I've updated this article by abbreviating its length but also adding a few sentences. -JS)... (more)

REAL CLEAR POLITICS — Alan Dershowitz reacted to James Comey's new book "A Higher Loyalty" on Friday's edition of Tucker Carlson's FOX News show. He called the book "gossipy," "scandalous and shameful." He also called the former FBI director "revenge-driven" and said he should never have been hired in the first place. Dershowitz said the way Comey condoned leaks sent a "horrible message" to FBI agents.... (more)

REAL CLEAR POLITICS — Tucker Carlson said Monday night what he learned from the interview with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday is that James Comey admires liars and gives them the benefit of the doubt while not extending the same courtesy to President Trump. Carlson said Comey is a partisan and should have never been director of the FBI.... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — The memos written by former FBI Director James Comey that were delivered to Congress by the Justice Department on Thursday have been leaked. The memos were obtained by the Washington Examiner. Comey, who was fired by President Trump last May, said in congressional testimony he kept memos memorializing conversations with the president.... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — The Republican chairmen who demanded Congress get access to James Comey's memos blasted him late Thursday, saying the revelations they contain show he "was blind to biases within the FBI and had terrible judgment with respect to his deputy Andrew McCabe."... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — In yesterday's column, I contended that it was outrageous for federal district judge Kimba Wood to direct that talk-radio and Fox News host Sean Hannity be publicly identified as Michael Cohen's third client. Cohen, whose law practice is, shall we say, less than thriving, is under criminal investigation by the FBI and federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). He claims only three clients. The other two, President Trump and GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy, acknowledge retaining Cohen. Hannity denies ever having had a formal attorney-client relationship with him.... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — At a hearing in Manhattan federal court Monday afternoon, a judge denied a request by President Trump and his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to prevent investigators from reviewing materials seized from Cohen's office and residences.... (more)
