Two bills dealing with drug testing of welfare recipients were heard-and killed-in committee in the “Republican” controlled South Dakota House of Representatives today. One dealt primarily with Medicaid recipients suspected of using illegal drugs, and the other dealt with TANF recipients suspected of using illegal drugs. Heaven forbid we expect government bureaucrats to grow a spin, act responsibly and require those receiving government largess they did not earn to behave responsibly.

Defenders of marriage in California will appeal Tuesday’s ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit that upheld a district judge’s decision against the state’s constitutional amendment protecting marriage. The ProtectMarriage.com legal defense team, including Alliance Defense Fund attorneys, expressed no surprise that the lawsuit over the amendment, which protects marriage as the union of one man and one woman, would progress beyond the three-judge 9th Circuit panel as has been long predicted by parties on both sides.

The defenders of marriage are gearing up for a huge battle in the state of New Hampshire.  Mass Resistance reported that the Democrat-controlled state legislature forced homosexual “marriage” on the state back in 2009, in spite of strong public opposition.  As a result, the Democrats were thrown out of office in the next election.  Now, New Hampshire has a strong Republican majority in both chambers of the legislature, although their Democrat governor managed to be reelected.  The Republicans have the numbers to override the governor’s veto, should they choose to muster the courage.

Frederick Baily was born around FEBRUARY 7, 1817, though no accurate records exist, as he was a slave. Around 12 years old, his master’s sister-in-law taught him to read, despite this being against the law. Voraciously reading newspapers, books, and a publication titled “The Columbian Orator,” Frederick is noted as saying “knowledge is the pathway from slavery to freedom.” He later became known as Frederick Douglass.
