    On September 11, 2001 my two older boys were seven and four years old, and one of the main things I remember about that day is my overwhelming urge to run to their schools and hug them and bring them home. I remember wanting to keep my fear from showing...

    Alyssa Milano, for reasons unknown as she certainly has no qualifications, attended the Kavanaugh hearing today as the guest of Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).

    Who among us would like to have their high school yearbooks used as evidence against them in a confirmation hearing? I, for one, am thinking of burning mine after watching Sen. Leahy question Brett Kavanaugh. As he had blow-ups of pages from Kavanaugh’s yearbook as props, he asked Kavanaugh,...

    Judging by her grilling of Brett Kavanaugh, if you viewed it through progressive eyes, you’d think Kamala Harris was a champion of government transparency and protector of women. (Of course, RedState readers are too smart to fall for it.) Much like her outrage, Kamala Harris’ affection for open...

    For me, Halloween costumes are always a pain in the rear and I usually don’t think about it until the day before so I cobble something together, mostly with things I have in my closet. I’m pretty frugal that way, and I’m also just a lazy mom. For example, last...

    On Thursday I wrote about Sen. Cory Booker’s 1992 column in The Stanford Daily in which he admitted to touching a female friend’s breasts (after having hand swatted away on the first attempt) and “rolling around on the bed” with her on New Year’s Eve 1984, then finding out later...

    Under the new feminist model, if a man even looks at a woman and has a sexual thought, he’s committing rape. If a man touches a woman without consent, it’s sexual assault. And if she’s intoxicated, you can’t obtain consent. Using these definitions, Sen. Cory Booker admitted to sexually assaulting...

    As much as we on the pro-life side like to think the name of abortionist Kermit Gosnell is a household name, far too many people don’t know about him or the horrors he inflicted on vulnerable women – or that he was tried and convicted of murder. A new documentary,...
  22. Your Life Isn't Complete Without Seeing These Lindsey Graham Videos https://redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2018/10/07/life-isnt-complete-without-seeing-lindsey-graham-videos-n95957
