What’s next???

Putting aside the obvious question of why are we now negotiating with terrorists, I think this latest White House stunt could very well cement the Obama Administration’s place in U.S. history as the most inept and corrupt ever. Moreover, if … Continue reading

No admission fees for 9/11 Memorial…

In the age of Obama, when it’s certainly fashionable to embrace excessive government spending i.e. (waste and fraud by the trillions), does it strike anyone else as ludicrous that we’re whacking folks $24.00 a head to view the 9/11 Memorial … Continue reading

Benghazi families exploited…

The battle lines have clearly been drawn and the Democrats have chosen the “phony scandal” philosophy, albeit with a twist this time. It seems they’ve decided to drag the Benghazi families into the fray. Now I’m sure I don’t have … Continue reading

One year later…

Remembering those we lost, Krystle Campbell 29, Martin William Richard 8, Lingzi Lu 23, and Sean Collier 26, and their families, as well as the many who were wounded, on this one year anniversary of the bombings at the 2013 … Continue reading

World War III…

In 1933, debates at Brown and Oxford University’s yielded surprising opinions and polls for the time. With Hitler making waves in Europe, more than half of those queried identified themselves as pacifists, with less than a third declaring they would … Continue reading

America in decline…

I read an article this morning out of the AP which highlighted the rise in Russian patriotism, and I thought to myself, ironic isn’t it. While the United States is foundering in a roiling sea of national dilemmas, the likes … Continue reading

Now, if it were Susan Rice…

Free speech on the modern American Campus is not so free as one would think. Moreover, it usually only applies to “Liberal” free speech. That said, the recent flap over former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice speaking at Rutgers University, is … Continue reading

Wrong Commander in Chief for the job…

Understanding the actual role of this nation’s armed forces has proven difficult for the Obama Administration. It causes them to think about the potential for conflict, and this is outside the lines for the utopian crowd. You see, there would … Continue reading

Comrade of opportunity…

Is anyone surprised Comrade Putin is flexing his muscle a bit more lately? If you are, then you need to pay closer attention to world events. I know this stuff tends to get your eyes glazing over, but make no … Continue reading

“It’s not resonating”…

FOX’s O’Reilly was asked why he thought “Benghazi” has not gotten any “traction”. His answer was simple. “It’s not resonating“. Translation, President Obama, (and Hillary for that matter), are counting on the fact the American people don’t care enough to … Continue reading

Dangerous double speak…

September 21, 2011 – “America’s commitment to Israel’s security is unshakeable, and our friendship with Israel is deep and enduring.” (President Barack Obama) February 1, 2014 – “You see for Israel there’s an increasing de-legitimization campaign that has been building up. … Continue reading

The State of the Obama Presidency…

I know I’m late to the party on this one. But truthfully, I’ve been a bit stymied on how to respond to the arrogance and elitism displayed by our President on Tuesday evening. Frankly, he sounded almost angry, and in … Continue reading

“Lone Survivor”…

Looking into the eyes of Marcus Luttrell, one can see both emptiness and fire, the emptiness of a team player who lost his team, and the fire of a Navy Seal who relishes what all Navy Seals do, the chance … Continue reading

Not in vain…

We have heard it said time and again, “elections have consequences”. Admittedly, I’ve written many pages on that topic since Barack Obama announced his candidacy. All argument aside however, there comes a moment when reality hits you right between the … Continue reading

“Obamacare” charade continues…

So the President’s going to try and sell this thing once again. Apparently, endless rhetoric and campaigning in place of any successful application continues unabated. Let’s take a look at what we’re seeing to date. The ACA was to include … Continue reading

Veterans Day 2013. Understanding freedom…

I’ve probably heard “it” as many times as I’ve said “it”. And having family and friends who’ve fought and even died for “it”, makes “it” all the more precious to me. Indeed my fellow Americans, “freedom is not free”. Nevertheless, … Continue reading

What would “they” think???

Twelve years later the lessons of 9/11 appear to have faded. Notwithstanding the heroic and sacrificial efforts of our brave military who remain at the gate, the incoherent approach of our current government to the international issues of our time, gives … Continue reading

America then and now…

As events in Syria continue to shape the news, I thought it interesting how the conversation has shifted somewhat to whether or not the U.S. has a “moral responsibility” to act. Additionally, the question of how America sees things in relation … Continue reading

The President’s Conundrum…

Bill O’Reilly’s commentary on Tuesday was nearly spot on, nearly… He spoke of the nobility of the United States. He spoke of how our great nation has righted many wrongs, and of the literally hundreds of millions of people we … Continue reading

“All red lines have been crossed”…

The President is off on yet another campaign bus trip. So pre-occupied with damage control as his “college try” domestic agenda collapses around him, the POTUS has now completely backed himself into a corner on foreign policy. Egypt’s al-Sisi is telling the … Continue reading

I don’t often re-post on a topic unless there is new information and/or factors which justify the additional ink. In the case of my last article however, there seems to be some confusion regarding my position on the power struggle going on in Egypt. Judging by some … Continue reading

The New Egyptian Strong Man…

Americans look to their republic’s Founding Fathers for guidance; Muslims cherish the memory of the ancient … Continue reading

Derisive is as derisive does…

When the President set out on his apology tour back in 08, many of us warned about the pitfalls of “college diplomacy” as I’ve come to call it. College or classroom diplomacy is the premature application of untried and ideological … Continue reading

Mission accomplished???

I’m sure even the President’s most committed critics could not have imagined some of what has transpired over the past five years. Notably, I think Mr. Obama’s legacy in terms of the economy is striking, as his policies are now … Continue reading

In what may be an effort to politicize/portray their response to the latest terror threat in a favorable light, it appears there’s been yet another “leak” of highly classified information. FOX News is now confirming NSA surveillance operations picked up and … Continue reading

So much for the “Obama Spring”…

Economics drive politics to be sure, and while the Islamic movement remains a political force in Egypt, matters of the wallet and pocket-book will always rule the day. The Egyptian culture is as diverse as any, and they are a proud people. … Continue reading
