Catholics, Muslims and Sex-Abuse Double Standards
By L. Brent Bozell and Tim Graham
They call it "bacha bazi," translated as "boy play" -- Afghan militia men throwing boys into sexual slavery. What's worse yet, the U.S. military has turned a blind eye to this obscene practice. The front page of The New York Times carried the headline "US Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies."

Good Decision, RPOF: Presidential Candidates Need to Show Florida Counts
By Nancy Smith

No Offense, Richard Corcoran, but Ethics Again?
By Nancy Smith
Richard Corcoran
Tom Lee loved it, Don Gaetz loved it, now here comes Richard Corcoran peddling more lobbyist reform. It's such a crock, this business of "special interests." As the main legislative goal for this year, next year or any year, it does not one thing to move the needle for the Florida economy, for education, for child welfare, for expanding economic opportunity, anything that might improve Floridians' lives.
Are Our Familiar Political Alignments Suddenly Changing?
By Michael Barone
As the 2016 presidential selection process proceeds, there is increasing evidence that the political patterns we have grown used to, that we have come to consider permanent, might be suddenly changing.
Scott Walker Went From Contender to Pretender in the 'Summer of Trump'
By Kevin Derby
Scott Walker
Ranking as one of the biggest flops in recent presidential elections, Scott Walker ended his presidential bid on Monday. Walker should have soared in this political climate after becoming something of a folk hero to Republicans for his battles with government employee unions. When he entered the race, Walker was in the top tier. With his time in the national limelight in Wisconsin and his appeal as a conservative who won in a generally blue state, Walker looked like someone who could go the distance. As a leading Midwest Republican, Walker also looked set to play well in Iowa, home of the first presidential caucus.
