Clare Lopez is a former CIA officer, and she is risking her professional career to call out President Barack Obama in the biggest way possible. Lopez is well respected in the intelligence community and worked in the Reagan White House. After two decades in the field with the CIA, and as an instructor for special forces […]
“Radical” is such a ridiculous adjective. It is pure Islam, authentic Islam — there is nothing radical or un-Islamic about jihad. Obama’s father was a Muslim, which de facto makes him a Muslim, and he is considered Muslim in the Muslim world. Take, for example, Meriam Ibrahim. Her mother was Christian and raised her a […]

As Sputnik reports,Stone’s Facebook page notes, […]
by Daniel Pipes The Washington Times December 31, 2014 I unreservedly condemn Edward Snowden’s massive release of important U.S. government secrets. Once they’re out, though, it makes no sense to ignore the information now available. A 14-page document from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) carrying the arduous bureaucratic title of Surviving Secondary: An Identity Threat […]
Victor Davis Hanson There are lots of hypocrisies surrounding the recently released executive summary of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on the CIA’s detention and interrogation program. But they pale in comparison to the current Democratic silence about President Barack Obama’s policy of targeted drone assassinations. Since 2004, drones have killed an estimated 2,400 to […]

by JOHN HAYWARD It’s probably a good thing the Cromnibus saga blew that stupid hyper-partisan Democrat report on CIA interrogations off the front pages, because it wasn’t working out at all the way Senator Dianne Feinstein and her crew expected it to. Everything damaging to Democrats instantly becomes “old news,” but somehow the enhanced interrogation […]
By Dan Calabrese No one should be surprised by the content of a report written by Senate Democrats on the “torture” of terrorist detainees. It reflects the assumptions Democrats have made (or at least given voice to) for years, namely that by torturning detainees, we squandered our international esteem and got no useful information as […]
by EDWIN MORA: President Barack Obama had “leverage” to maintain a residual U.S. military force in Iraq, but decided against it, a mistake that allowed jihadists to breed in the country, argues Leon Panetta in his new book. Panetta, who served as Obama’s CIA director and then Secretary of Defense, made those revelations in his […]
On “60 Minutes,” Obama blamed US spies for failing to predict the rise of ISIS. There’s one problem with that statement: The intelligence analysts did warn Obama about the group. Nearly eight months ago, some of Obama’s senior intelligence officials were already warning that ISIS was on the move. In the beginning of 2014, ISIS […]
