WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — Both presidential candidates took a few days to get their bearings and talking points in order after the beginning of the wild week on Wall Street.

KEN CONNOR — "Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up." (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NASB) In a recent article castigating the GOP's "anti-abortion absolutism," Slate's Jacob Weisberg maintains that "two conservative social goals -- ending abortion and upholding the model of the nuclear family -- [have always been] in tension"...

BAPTIST PRESS — For years, pro-lifers have set their sights on changing the U.S. Supreme Court, hoping that a conservative judicial lineup would overturn Roe v.

OLIVER NORTH — The UN Headquarters building in Manhattan has become the venue of choice for "diplomats" and foreign leaders to condemn America, our values and virtues.
