Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) is the unsung heroine of the foreign policy debates of the past few months. A Tea Party candidate who was elected in the 2010 wave, Ayotte has been one of the most reliable voices on the Benghazi attacks, the Hagel nomination, and the prosecution of terrorists. She has worked with Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC)--without joining their withering attacks on the party’s libertarian wing. 15 Mar 2013 Trump to Republicans: 'Play the Debt Ceiling Card' In an early morning press conference at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC), Donald Trump held forth on the federal budget, the state of the economy, his decision not to run in 2012, and the nation's future. 15 Mar 2013 'I Think the Country Will Learn Who She Is': Billionaire, Banker, Bundler Pritzker Likely Commerce Pick Penny Pritzker, the Hyatt heir and former subprime mortgage lender who was deemed too controversial to lead the Department of Commerce four years ago, is now apparently President Barack Obama's pick for the post.

Yet he also warned: “[W]hen a democratic people engages in a war after a long peace, it incurs much more risk of defeat than any other nation.” Benghazi reminds us: we cannot defend liberty if we do not take the fight to our enemies. 14 Mar 2013 Greenberg: Obama Administration Threatened AIG Over Bailout Lawsuit Former American International Group (AIG) CEO Hank Greenberg accused the Obama administration Wednesday of threatening the company not to join a class action lawsuit that he has brought against the federal government over the terms of the 2008 AIG bailout.
