The bipartisan Civil Service Recognition Act breezed through both houses back in December with no dissenting votes. The law grants the American flag to the families of federal employees killed while in service to the government. I am a little
Huntsman will put the brakes on his candidacy for the GOP nomination tomorrow at which time the former governor will throw his support behind Mitt Romney. The man he often railed against and called unelectable. Huntsman received support from The
Representatives from Mr. Pyle, President of the Institute for Energy Research, recently reached out to me in an effort to set the record straight on natural gas extraction. Recently, the Los Angeles Times ran an op-ed that was chockfull of
With New Hampshire secure, Romney became the first Republican non-incumbent presidential candidate to win both Iowa’s and New Hampshire’s primaries. “Tonight we made history,” Romney told cheering supporters before pivoting to a stinging denunciation of President Barack Obama. “The middle
If you allow the media to tell the story about Mitt Romney’s comment, “I like being able to fire people who provide services to me” you can easily be mislead that Romney is a emotionless, suit and tie wearing, profit
I wouldn’t say its been a well kept secret, but Santorum’s previous level of obscurity for the GOP nomination prevented his legacy of earmarks from getting its due mention. Senator Santorum’s career in Congress was during the heyday of big
The New York Times has an insightful piece up on Congress’s coming military cuts. What the authors most highlight is that America’s military will have a newer role in the coming decade. That point is evident from the proposed cuts
The US is currently thoroughly occupied in Afghanistan. The ten year war has brought several achievements in the war on terror but has largely failed in expanding Kabul’s control over the country. The war there has offered great stories of
President Obama has not been defeated. He still occupies the White House, and that will continue until next November. But the nation is readying itself for what will prove to be a high octane race for the presidency. President Obama
When the 29-year-old Napoleon Bonaparte’s Army of the Orient arrived on Egyptian soil, it marked the first time since 1250 that a European military force set foot in the Dar-al-Islam. Napoleon fashioned himself after other influential world leaders and state
The Muslim regimes in the Middle East have never held any real intentions of formulating a peace process with Israel. There just isn’t any money and power in doing so. The Jewish presence is a wonderful distraction for Arab regimes
Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich has come under fire for his amnesty plan. Most Americans cringe at the word “amnesty.” After all, most citizens view it as government acquiescence for political expediency, and, of course, they are right to feel
John Bolton, former UN ambassador, writing from the Wall Street Journal, discusses the future of North Korea’s government leadership in the wake of Kim Jong Il’s death: North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il’s death opens a period of intense danger
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.
