A judge in Texas has ruled in favor of a group of high school cheerleaders in the small town of Dillon, or uh, Kountze, saying that there is no law preventing them from using inspirational Bible verses on banners at football games. The case stems from administrators at the small town school in Texas asking cheerleaders not to display banners like one with the words, “If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31" on it, fearing lawsuits from groups like The Freedom of Religion Foundation. The judge’s message to the cheerleaders: Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose. Now go get ‘em Panthers, or whatever your mascot there in Kountze is! … Discuss

The Administration's official position on the events that took place in Benghazi on September 11 of last year have been called back into question following the emotional testimonies of a number of eye-witnesses to the attacks, including that of Gregory Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission in Libya, and Eric Nordstrom, a former regional security officer in Libya. Both of them choked up as they recounted the events that left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Officially, this was all owing to an uproar over a Muslim-slamming YouTube video, but both Hicks and Nordstrom said that the effort was a coordinated terrorist attack that they had warned the Pentagon about. For their part, the Pentagon maintains that they did everything in their power to save every American in Libya. So, the question remains about who, if anyone, should be held accountable for a breakdown in communication and security, whether or not there was any serious coverup, and who is politicizing what for their own gain ...

At this point, there aren't a whole lot of differing opinions out there about Governor Chris Christie. That's not entirely true, but it feels true. New Jersey's Republican Governor has won a lot of fans for his diamond-tough backbone and knack for eschewing party politics for the greater good. But little did we know that within him beats the heart of fearless hero, one who could not sit idly by when a horrific creature with dastardly power and deadly intent threatened a group of innocent children. With his characteristic haste, Governor Christie stormed into action. His arm was sure and his aim was true, and he bested the monster in but one mighty blow. Sleep easy, citizens of New Jersey. Your Governor stands ever ready to defend you from whatever evils knock .... Discuss

Now that Tim Tebow has been released by the New York Jets, the outspoken quarterback can be signed by any team. That is, if another NFL team wants him. Despite a series of improbable comebacks and a playoff victory while playing quarterback for the Denver Broncos, with an unconventional style, Tebow didn’t secure much playing time in New York and was released after just a year. And despite the Jacksonville Jaguars saying that they have no interest in signing the hometown star, one fan is willing to do anything to make it happen. Even if that means contacting the president of the United States.

A recent petition posted on the White House’s “We the People” website requests that the president issue an executive order forcing the lowly Jaguars to sign and start Tebow as the team’s quarterback. According to the site’s guidelines, if it receives 100,000 signatures, the White House will formerly respond. In a time of financial uncertainty, global unrest and political polarization, we think it’s about time the president gets involved in an issue he can make an immediate impact on—forcibly taking over an NFL franchise to make Tim Tebow a starter. Your move, Mr. President … Discuss

The Justice Department is appealing a judge’s recent decision that would make the “morning-after pill” available over-the-counter to customers as young as 15 years old without restrictions. As part of the appeal, the department has requested that the controversial new policy not go in effect on May 6 as planned. Justice Department officials reportedly felt that the court overstepped its authority by mandating that the FDA lift restrictions on the Plan B pill … Discuss
