The Obama administration plans to close nine U.S. Border Patrol Stations in four states–six stations in Texas, and one each in Idaho, California, and Montana. These near-interior stations currently act as a second line of defense to our porous border. It appears that this action is another step away from effective border security and immigration […]
After angry Egyptians pelted her motorcade with shoes, chanting “Leave!,” Secretary of State Clinton insisted the U.S. wasn’t there to take sides. Too late. ‘I want to be clear that the United States is not in the business, in Egypt, of choosing winners and losers, even if we could, which of course we cannot,” Hillary […]
A recent Wall Street Journal article entitled “The Coming Defense Crack-Up” lays out a compelling argument against the defense cuts that are going to hit on January 2, 2013, if something is not done soon. The sequestration cuts that are mandated by the Budget Control Act (BCA) will gut defense when piled on top of […]
Senator John McCain has defended the Libyan rebels, calling them his ‘heroes’ who would later fly Al-Qaeda flags after Gadhafi’s fall. He has called for the arming of the Syrian rebels.

Yet through determination and hard work — and with the help of America’s free-enterprise system — today he’s the successful CEO of a global supplier of wellness products. VanderSloot’s rags-to-riches story is […]
It’s ironic that the front page of The Washington Post recently featured an obituary of long-time columnist William Raspberry on the same day it included a story warning that “D.C. cabbies fear being pushed out of business as earnings fall amid new rules, competition.” After all, Raspberry famously liked to build entire columns around discussions […]
The power struggle between Egypt’s army and the Muslim Brotherhood has been eclipsed by the intensifying civil war in Syria, but this week saw disturbing new developments in Egypt. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton paid a short visit to Cairo and Alexandria, where she was dogged by several anti-American demonstrations. Protesters pelted Clinton’s motorcade with […]
