Janet and I want to affirm our support for the Duggar family. Josh’s actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, 'inexcusable,' but that doesn’t mean 'unforgivable.' He and his family dealt with it and were honest and open about it with the victims and the authorities. No purpose whatsoever is served by those who are now trying to discredit Josh or his family by sensationalizing the story. Good people make mistakes and do regrettable and even disgusting things. The reason that the law protects disclosure of many actions on the part of a minor is that the society has traditionally understood something that today’s blood-thirsty media does not understand—that being a minor means that one's judgement is not mature. No one needs to defend Josh’s actions as a teenager, but the fact that he confessed his sins to those he harmed, sought help, and has gone forward to live a responsible and circumspect life as an adult is testament to his family’s authenticity and humility. Those who have enjoyed revealing this long ago sins in order to discredit the Duggar family have actually revealed their own insensitive bloodthirst, for there was no consideration of the fact that the victims wanted this to be left in the past and ultimately a judge had the information on file destroyed—not to protect Josh, but the innocent victims. Janet and I love Jim Bob and Michelle and their entire family. They are no more perfect a family than any family, but their Christian witness is not marred in our eyes because following Christ is not a declaration of our perfection, but of HIS perfection. It is precisely because we are all sinners that we need His grace and His forgiveness. We have been blessed to receive God’s love and we would do no less than to extend our love and support for our friends. In fact, it is such times as this, when real friends show up and stand up. Today, Janet and I want to show up and stand up for our friends. Let others run from them. We will run to them with our support.

No prosecutor would have indicted Hillary Clinton? How about this criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor who is so partisan liberal, he endorsed Hillary Clinton only after Bernie Sanders washed out and he repeats an allegation against Donald Trump that even the alleged victim, his ex-wife Ivana, has dismissed as “totally without merit” – but even he thinks this entire episode stinks of corruption and a justice system double standard for well-connected elites.

This isn’t over.
FBI Director James Comey may have declined to answer questions at the end of his mystifying press conference --- in which he rattled off numerous examples of Hillary’s lawbreaking but failed to recommend that she be indicted --- but those unasked questions remain. Comey faces inquiry before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday. And, in an update, Attorney Gen. Loretta Lynch has been called before Congressional Republicans as well, to be questioned abou...t her role in the investigation and, specifically, about her now-infamous 30-minute meeting with Bill Clinton just ahead of Hillary’s legal win.
Lynch, typically, is cool under questioning and may very well manage to avoid providing much new information, but Congress deserves credit for not dropping the ball. Even --- and perhaps especially --- without answers forthcoming, it’s important to keep those troublesome questions percolating. Wake up and smell the obfuscation.

I’m sure there are some liberals who are outraged at Switzerland’s insensitivity and lack of respect for those girls’ religious beliefs. They probably also think that Christian bakers, florists and photographers should be prosecuted into bankruptcy if they decline to participate in same-sex weddings.
Just in the past few weeks, well over 200 people, from Orlando to Bangladesh to the latest atrocity in Baghdad, have been murdered in attacks inspired or planned by ISIS. No surprise, Donald Trump didn’t take the 4th of July off from tweeting about the failure of Obama and his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in defeating ISIS and keeping innocent people safe (read all his tweets at the link). Yet a recent Washington Post poll found that only 39% of Americans trust... Trump to handle terrorism, while 50% trust Hillary to handle it.
Since the current Administration appears to be rudderless on this issue, and Hillary is promising us four more years of the same – indeed, when terrorists struck Benghazi and that much-vaunted “3 a.m. emergency call” arrived, she let it go to voice mail – I have to wonder how reliable this poll is. I also wonder, with ISIS and its acolytes ramping up the attacks on innocent civilians worldwide, and Obama and Hillary continuing to cover their eyes, plug their ears, and blame Republicans, Christians, the NRA or anything other than radical Islamist militants, how long those poll numbers can possibly hold up in the face of grim reality.

Another chilling example of how political correctness and the mindless exaltation of multiculturalism have tied the authorities’ hands and allow supporters of known terrorist organizations to parade openly through the streets of the very same Western cities they seek to destroy.
As Democrats ratchet up their “the Republican nominee is a racist/anti-Semite” attacks, here’s a reminder that nearly 20 years ago, Donald Trump was putting up his own money to wage a legal battle that helped topple entrenched racism and anti-Semitism in Palm Beach.

In case you didn't see it, in an interview with Kimberly Guilfoyle, Rudy Giuliani said: "It would be unreasonable for a prosecutor NOT to go forward with (the case), and almost an abdication of duty." He said that back when Comey was one of his assistants (!), a case like this was called a "no-brainer." It does not require intent. The first definition of "gross negligence" is "being extremely careless." That's what Comey found she had committed. "There's no way to square the two things."
He went on to say that Hillary couldn't possibly pass an FBI background check. "This would be tossed right in the ashcan." He also said that deleting those thousands of emails showed "consciousness of guilt."
"This is the special exception for the Clintons."
