When one hears someone say “communism is a great concept, a wonderful idea on paper, etc,” you know right away one is dealing with a political novice. For someone to make such a ludicrous statement in light of insurmountable evidence
By chance a commercial satellite company has confirmed the obvious: China’s navy is preparing for war. That isn’t hyperbole. A Navy aircraft carrier is strictly an offensive weapon for war. The US’ own doctrine is that aircraft carriers are the
It’s been mentioned here before that foreign policy has largely taken a back seat during the GOP debates. To a certain degree, it is understandable. Our nation is currently facing dire domestic problems from the economy, unemployment, political paralysis, and
Energized by a early parliamentary election victory where they and other hard-line Islamist parties will make up two-thirds of Egyptian national parliament, the Muslim Brotherhood has been quick to exert its influence and newfound legitimacy. First they sent a signal
Oh contraire mon fraire. You were the one who caused fainting spells on your minions. It was you who said you would heal the planet and tame the rising seas. You set the standard. You made the promises. You would
Democrats and certainly liberals have always held a healthy disdain for Israel. That is no great revelation on my part. We have seen that disdain at center stage since Obama won the presidency. The US-Israeli relationship has taken a turn
So much for the argument that renewables don’t compromise our national security the way fossil fuels do – but try telling an environmentalist as much. While it was first reported more than a year ago that wind farms were interfering
Remember that line in Tombstone? Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) said, “You called down the thunder. Well now you got it!” It may be of some benefit for the Tehran regime to Netflix that Western action/drama because the world, as they
Read with caution. This is the kind of hell big government liberals can unleash on American citizens from their lofty perches in Washington DC. In addition to having nearly unhindered access to our southern border, the most violent gangs in
Herman Cain is a force of nature. He speaks candidly and has those coveted gifts most people lack: Charisma and a disarming personality. Even some of the most successful politicians lack these gifts. I had a chance to see Mr.
World politics is a peculiar game. It often leaves countries with strange bedfellows. That is exactly what is playing out between the US and Pakistan. As the US prepares to lighten its footprint in Afghanistan, it is turning to its
We are squandering a great opportunity to become energy independent and put millions of Americans back to work with moratoriums and still more regulations. To say more would only be repeating what has been said in the past. With reckless
Americans are immanently concerned with America’s destiny and standing in the world. This has been on our collective conscience since the beginning and really began to manifest in our political conscience in 1898. The question is America declining, are our
I wrote towards the end of last week, “never underestimate results.” I should have added the psychological advantage a sitting President has with all the glitz and glamor that goes with that while he’s traveling the country. President Obama will
Never underestimate the power of results. People have a way of forgiving and forgetting as long as you can produce the results. The dubious manner in which President Obama ordered military intervention — covertly and overtly and there was a
The execution of Muammar Qaddafi is not the end or even a turning of a page in Libya. It is rather a chapter that has yet to be written. The subject of which will depend on the kind of regime
Aljazeera are citing sources that Muamar Qaddaffi died from wounds suffered in a gun battle. The New York Times are also confirming reports that Qaddafi died. Blogs Towleroad News | Photo Shows Alleged Body of Slain Libyan Dictator Moammar Gaddafi
Austerity has become a household word. It’s been mentioned and repeated so many times that Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary honored the term as its word of the year in 2010 — that’s how many web searches were conducted on the “austerity”. Fiscal
The narrative has thus far been that the #OccupyWallStreet crowd is one of outrage over the country’s financial sector, corporate greed, and the growing disparity between work and profit. The protesters are a culmination of these factors against the forces
While no longer breaking news, the Iranian plot to assassinate a Saudi ambassador touches on another, larger story. It starts with how countries who export terror seek to infiltrate the US. Our various intelligence agencies and web of foreign contacts
During the debate over whether the Libyan intervention was a model for military action, Libyan weapons were being smuggled into Egypt’s black market and into Gaza. Keep in mind that an elaborate system of tunnels has been constructed between the
“… freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice… Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.” ~ Mikhail Bakunin There is more to the disheveled crowd that has been entertaining Americans for the past three weeks than meets the eye. Don’t
To Western Civilization The Independent UK The Prime Minister appealed to the public to “shop” illegal immigrants and announced a drive against bogus marriages as he promised to “reclaim our borders”. In a major speech on immigration, he said the
The Hill The Senate voted Monday to advance legislation pressuring the Chinese government to stop undervaluing its currency, a practice most economists agree is giving the country an unfair trade advantage and is costing the U.S. jobs. The Senate voted
The Florida GOP took bold action in moving their state’s primary up in line with the other carve out states. By seeking a bigger role in choosing who the GOP candidate against Obama is Republicans in Florida have caused other
I wasn’t quick enough this morning to head this off. I knew it was coming and that it would only be a matter of time before the Left reacted to Anwar al-Awlaki’s death. From the heart and mind of Glenn
In light of a recent poll showing America’s distrust of the national media, I thought I would pick a topic for a case study. What better topical study is there when exploring the media’s methods and concerns than with the

I’m 6’2″ and weigh 200 pounds; yet, I don’t think Floyd Mayweather (5’8″ and fights at 147 lbs) would fear me too much if I threatened to fight him. Though I do have a boxing gym at home and generally
The theme becoming familiar with all who are interested in the economy (judging by the latest labor statistics, I suspect there are many) is whether a president can actually create jobs. The answer to that question is obviously no; he
This probably won’t make his base very happy — not that they’ll protest too much about it anyway. That’s only for when the other side is in charge — but it does beef up America’s capabilities in executing war on
For a party and a man that hold deep reservations towards capitalism, Democrats certainly jump at the chance to ride it – like all those corporate fat cats in their private jets! – when it suits their needs. Ah, but
Oh the scandalizing books ahead of election time. I remember them well and how work-place liberals loved to quote from their pages when it was the Bush team in the White House. Between them and the liberal press, one would
It is understandable that foreign policy has taken a back seat to what is viewed as more pressing concerns: jobs, unemployment, debt, and entitlements. However, just a quick view of the world’s landscape and an articulated foreign policy is greatly
Despite getting unreal low interests rates, the energy tech firm, Solyndra, closed up its doors, let 1,000 employees go and did absolutely nothing with the $535 million loan from its good friend, Barack H. Obama. ABC News reports The $535
This was the president’s intention from the start. I don’t mean directly harming America’s war effort, I mean indirectly by virtue of who he is at heart. After all, he increased the troop presence in Afghanistan and the left the
August marked the first month of no reported deaths for the first time since 2003. This is great news for the US military as well as the Iraqi security forces that seems to be maturing and taking on greater operational
It is unbelievable that any government worker or private employee who is privy to sensitive information regarding national security and defense who has the kind of background and prior associates as President Obama does, could then become the foci around
Abbas: We Won’t Recognize Israel as Jewish State — Elior Levy (Ynet News) The Palestinian Authority will not be recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday, adopting a belligerent tone ahead of his planned statehood
We broke it here, first. If you’ll remember, I wrote an early piece on the unique challenges Governor Perry must overcome in order to be President in this country. Over the following days just about everything mentioned came to pass.
