Former President Bill Clinton says that, even in light of the #MeToo movement, he would not have approached how he dealt with Monica Lewinsky any differently and acknowledged that — 20 years after their relationship made headlines — he’s still never apologized privately to the former intern.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, in one of the most closely watched cases of the term.
In a 7-2 decision, the justices set aside a Colorado court ruling against the baker — while stopping short of deciding the broader issue of whether a business can refuse to serve gay and lesbian people. The opinion was penned by Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is often the swing justice in tight cases.
The narrow ruling here focused on what the court described as anti-religious bias on the Colorado Civil Rights Commission when it ruled against baker Jack Phillips. [Read More]

Bombshell: FEC Records Indicate Hillary Campaign Illegally Laundered $84 Million (The Federalist)
The press continues to feed the dying Russia collusion conspiracy theory, spending Friday’s news cycle regurgitating Democrat talking points from the just-filed Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act lawsuit against the Trump campaign, WikiLeaks, and Russia.
Yet the mainstream media took no notice of last week’s federal court filing that exposes an $84 million money-laundering conspiracy the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign executed during the 2016 presidential election in violation of federal campaign-finance law.

SCOTUS Throws Out Case on Illegal Alien Teenager Right to Abortion (Breitbart)
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday unanimously threw out a lower court’s decision that had held that when the U.S. government has a pregnant illegal alien teenager in custody, the government must facilitate the teenager’s obtaining an abortion if she wants one. The nation’s highest court held that the case was moot, and struck the lower court’s decision from the books.
“Jane Doe, a minor, was eight weeks pregnant when she unlawfully crossed the border into the United States” and was put in the custody of the U.S. Department Health and Human Services (HHS) because she was pregnant, the Court began in a per curiam (meaning unsigned) opinion. “After a medical examination, Doe requested abortion. But the [Office of Refugee Resettlement] did not allow Doe to go to an abortion clinic.” [Read More]
Supreme Court Sides with Masterpiece Cakeshop in Same-Sex Wedding Ruling (Breitbart)
The Supreme Court granted a narrow victory to people of faith on Monday, holding 7-2 that the Constitution did not allow the Colorado Civil Rights Commission to order Christian baker Jack Phillips to bake a wedding cake for same-sex weddings because a commissioner said Phillips’ Christian beliefs on marriage were “despicable.”
The Court left open for another case the broader question of whether the government can force people of faith to participate in same-sex weddings when the government does not openly show open hostility to their religious beliefs. [Read More]

Veteran Democrat political operative Patrick Caddell finds the idea that the FBI had informants and electronic surveillance operating within the Trump campaign is “incredible and unheard of and frightening.” He also said the actions of the Justice Department would have been noted int he articles of impeachment if they had occurred under Richard Nixon.
Caddell, speaking on my radio program on WMAL in Washington, says the latest revelations in the scandal President Trump calls “Spygate” are comparable if not worse than what led to President Nixon’s resignation. [Read More]
Bishop EW Jackson is running for the Republican nomination for senate in Virginia. Jackson, an African-American, believes that without minimizing the evils of slavery, blacks Americans are blessed to be living in this country as compared to blacks in African nations.
“Our ancestors may have came on different ships,” Jackson told me on WMAL radio in Washington, “but we’re all in the same boat now.” [Read More]
The Supreme Court’s decision in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case Monday is being celebrated, condemned and/or downplayed by various interest groups and legal analysts across the nation depending on what broader political agenda they may wish to promote. But in the end, this case was about one man, Jack Phillips, and how the government treated him because he wished to follow his conscience as an artist and as a Christian.
The government in the state of Colorado attempted to destroy Mr. Phillips’ life and came pretty close to succeeding.
“The government’s hostility toward my beliefs has spread through pockets of my community,” Phillips wrote in the Washington Post in April. “My life and the lives of my family have been threatened repeatedly. Last year, one man swore that he’d shoot me in the head, and another threatened to kill me with a machete — all for declining to create a wedding cake. The threats and harassment have been so bad at times that my wife has been too afraid to set foot in our shop.” [Read More]
