The new Facebook lack-of-privacy options, Verizon's most popular plan with the Obama administration, being monitored, children's classics, and cartoons.

America is built on the principle of 'ordered liberty,' which seeks to maximize both security and freedom at the same time. Achieving balance is difficult. Also today, Obama adviser picks, a look at the issue of organ transplants, military correctness, and the IRS's lavish spending.

Now that he's president, Barack Obama suddenly finds Bush-era NSA programs useful. Beyond the hypocrisy, however, is a matter of trust -- or lack thereof. Also today, jobs numbers, the UN gun treaty, the IRS, the farm bill, Social Security Trust Fund report, military sexual abuse, the Supreme Court and your DNA, Komen's fundraising trouble and Biden's brain. Whew!

Six months ago, in a letter to an Eagle Scout, my son, I responded to his dismay over a proposal by the Boy Scouts of America National Board to remove the membership restriction regarding sexual orientation. Two weeks ago, the Left's relentless campaign of cultural degradation and devolution succeeded in a decade-long strategy to do to the uniformed ranks of the BSA what Barack Hussein Obama has done to the uniformed ranks of the U.S. military.

Today is the anniversary of D-Day. More than 160,000 troops landed on a 50-mile stretch of heavily fortified beaches along the Normandy coast of France in what was the largest invasion force in history, involving more than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft.

Obama's deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter attended meetings with then-IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman. Why? Also, the calculations for Eric Holder, LGBT pride month, the importance of education, the media carries water for Obama, and Jay Leno explains how to handle the IRS.

The Liberal Lie-O-Meter, Obama is having a bad week, 25 to life, an honest press conference, a truly smart phone, and cartoons!

The Boy Scouts of America betrayed their own timeless values in changing policy to allow "openly gay" boys to join. Similarly, the military has blurred the roles of the sexes and the results aren't good. In other news, more analysis of regulations, scandals, taxes, the economy, and the war on terror, as well as responses to Mark Alexander's essay on half-staff flags.

Barack Obama says he's "satisfied" with how things are going in the IRS investigation. Of course he is -- he won in 2012. Meanwhile, Eric Holder tries to weasel out of the media targeting issue, the latest on the immigration bill, Chinese hackers compromise U.S. defenses, the Red Cross sits on $100 million in Sandy aid and what celebrities are doing for clean water.

As a practice, I always lower our flags on Memorial Day, Patriot Day (9/11) and Pearl Harbor Day, and in honor of military Patriots, law enforcement officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty. But I do not lower our flags to advance political agendas, especially those that are an affront to everything our flag represents.

Remember when federal agents raided Gibson Guitars in 2011? That was likely for political reasons, just like the IRS scandal. Also today, a look at why the IRS is practically designed for abuse, the insanity of immigration policy, Obama's boasting, media cover, and how tax collectors can get mercy.

Chocolate bullets, the tax doctor, Supersham, cover up, the difference between Obama and Nixon, excuses, and cartoons!

Today is Memorial Day, and we join countless Patriots across our great nation in honoring the sacrifice of the American Patriots who gave their lives for the Liberty we enjoy. Let us not take that Liberty or their sacrifice for granted.

The IRS official overseeing the targeting of conservative groups went to Congress to plead the Fifth Amendment after declaring her innocence. Only it doesn't work that way. (Try it during an audit.) Also, more on the DOJ targeting journalists, the cost of regulation for the average family, Obama's national security speech and blaming the Oklahoma tornado on global warming.

This is the story of Bill Crawford, a man who went from sweeping combat fields in search of the enemy, to mopping halls and picking up trash for his fellow Americans. He was known only as a squadron floor janitor at the Air Force Academy until his heroic acts were rediscovered by an AFA '77 cadet and then properly acknowledged by President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
