MICHELLE MALKIN — Chandler Osborn, 14, watched Fox News coverage of Hurricane Sandy last week and decided to take action. "Last weekend, me and my younger brother, Cooper, 7, did a fundraiser in Colorado Springs to help the people" affected by the storm, he told me. The siblings set up a table at the Colorado Springs Sugar Plum Festival, gave away patriotic car magnets and pins for any donation, and collected signatures on a giant banner of support for the victims. "We raised $612 in one weekend."... (more)

JOHN BOLTON — Israel appears to be rejecting the latest efforts by Hamas and Egypt to impose a cease-fire after several days of intense fighting. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton told WND's Greg Corombos Israel has no appealing options right now but may be choosing the least objectionable course for the moment. He said a cease-fire now solves almost nothing... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — It won't be long now before the stakes rise in the sexual perversion revolution. With Barack Obama firmly ensconced in the White House for another four years and now solidly behind the same-sex marriage push, I want to give you a glimpse of the future... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — There are many reasons Christians are losing the culture. They don't evangelize: The first-century followers of Jesus turned the world upside down because they lived their faith boldly, confronting the pagan culture even in the face of certain death. They did this out of love for sinners so they would have a chance to repent and avoid hell. As a consequence, they saved many from hell on earth... (more)

ALAN DERSHOWITZ — As the rockets continue to fall in Israel and Gaza, it is important to understand Hamas's tactic and how the international community and the media are encouraging it. Hamas's tactic is as simple as it is criminal and brutal. Its leaders know that by repeatedly firing rockets at Israeli civilian areas, they will give Israel no choice but to respond. Israel's response will target the rockets and those sending them... (more)

FRANK GAFFNEY — While debating Mitt Romney this fall, President Obama declared that he had decided to embrace the term "Obamacare" -- a name originally coined and used by its detractors to tie the president firmly to the health care fiasco he had spawned.
