Misappropriations. Resisting the Catechism. Hillary in her words. McCain attacks. Plus much more.

p> Editor’s Note: br> We do not mean to slight the other services by referring to them in lowercase. “Marines” are grammatically exceptional because the group of individuals composing the branch is the same word as the entire branch, the Marines, a proper noun. As for the other branches, we capitalize the U.S. Army, but individuals in it are soldiers, not Armies. The same goes for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. Soldiers, airmen, and sailors are not properly capitalized because they’re not proper nouns. Uppercase soldiers, airman, and sailors could be members of those branches in any country. Conversely, when one writes the Marines, readers understand that the writer means members of the U.S. Marine Corps. /p>

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
