I have been conflicted with the administration’s plans to open talks with Iran. I am well aware Iran could be just playing team Obama as dupes, buying time to obtain nuclear weapons so they can roll the world on their terms. I am also aware of the fact we cannot negotiate alternative scenarios without actually […]

We’ve had another predator strike in Pakistan, as the Pak’s negotiate a deal with religious extremists to allow them to impose Sharia law on what once was a western tourist mecca: Pakistan agreed on Monday to restore strict Islamist law in the Swat valley to pacify a revolt by Taliban militants, and a suspected U.S. […]

This is a good idea: Stretched thin in Afghanistan and Iraq, the American military will begin recruiting skilled immigrants who are living in this country with temporary visas, offering them the chance to become United States citizens in as little as six months. Immigrants who are permanent residents, with documents commonly known as green cards, […]

Forget about millions or billions or trillions, most people cannot get their minds around these numbers. But percentages can be related to.

Damn these Klieg-Light attracted politicians who run their damn mouths. A democrat Senator has just exposed some of our forces to direct attack by indicating – IN PUBLIC – where they are launching the fight against al Qaeda: A senior U.S. lawmaker said Thursday that unmanned CIAPredator aircraft operating in Pakistan are flown from an airbase […]

I have to say that anyone who sat out the last election because McCain was not conservative enough for them is pretty much an idiot. Sorry – but anyone who allowed Obama and the Dems to take control by sitting out the election in a fit is just as responsible for the coming mess as […]
