Does anyone out there know anyone who would stick a laptop in the mail, in a cavalier manner that would leave it susceptible to being “lost”? Is it conceivable this person might become PRESIDENT?

Iran has not agreed to give up anything needed to acquire a bomb or cease any aggressive behavior

Watching the ceremony last night, I had a profound sense of sadness for the hollow revelry. There was no dignified memorializing of the greatness, uniqueness, and courage of Britain’s past. There was “irreverent, idiosyncratic” entertainment, and a very long segment of writhing self-abasement before the shibboleth of socialized medicine.

ISIS is executing, slowly but surely, a pincer move on Baghdad.

Missile tests popping up all over Asia should be seen in this light. Everyone’s arming up, starting with Russia

Assad functions now as a cover for the real objective: Russia & Iran establishing control of Syria.

Connecticut has some of the tightest restrictions in the country and Mrs. Lanza was in full compliance with them.

Political correctness kills-That’s the message from the San Bernardino terror massacre

The mainstream media and the Left keep telling you everything is in chaos and everyone hates Trump.None of it's true. It’s amazing how much of the supposedly factual reporting turns out to be false.

Iran stands unopposed by the “international community” and is racing to assert regional dominance.

It probably doesn’t feel this way to the people trying to explain why Israel has to defend herself, but over the past week, since Hamas’ border fence “protests” from Gaza cranked up, there has been a distinctly tinny, perfunctory sound to the adverse media coverage and political shouting.

It is unconscionable of Obama to handle the sequestration threat the way he has - crippling our ability to readily strike Iran.

By conducting numerous tests of nuclear-capable missiles, Iran has been daring the UN and JCPOA parties to stop them. Now that Trump looks prepared to call Iran’s bluff, the mullahs are suddenly ready to negotiate the missile program.

Slinging force around, with press notices, is not what a strong president does.

Bibi built the case for stopping Iran and showed there are more choices than "A Deal" or "Attack"

We are in uncharted territory today. The answers for the GOP going forward may not be found in the events of the past.

Israel has never faced the reality of Russia potentially vetoing its air defense decisions

Activists from US, France, Germany & from Iran's media are aboard because the ship's a cause célèbre

Attacks from Gaza on Israel have ramped up significantly in the last several days. An Israeli patrol was hit by what was thought to be a roadside bomb on Tuesday (three were wounded), near the border fence with Gaza. On Saturday, terrorists in Gaza fired an anti-tank missile at an Israeli jeep with four infantrymen in it, as the patrol operated in the area of the roadside bomb attack. The four soldiers were wounded, one severely. More than 80 rockets have been launched from Gaza into Israel since the attack on the jeep on Saturday, 10 November. At least three Israeli civilians were injured in the rocket attacks. Geography is beginning to rear its head again, as Israel has also sustained incursions into the Golan from Syria in recent days.

Romney sees the Navy as a core element of our enduring strategic posture. For national defense and for the protection of trade, the United States has from the beginning sought to operate in freedom on the seas, and, where necessary, to exercise control of them. We are a maritime nation, with extremely long, shipping-friendly coastlines in the temperate zone and an unprecedented control of the world’s most traveled oceans, the Atlantic and Pacific.

Western culture as a whole lost the habit of defining authority for social purposes, and training its children to both respect and administer it.

The short answer is: because he’s got nothing. There is no record to run on, no argument to make for four more years. The ideology that drives him is outdated and bankrupt. He has, in fact, implemented his policies – Republicans have had little means of stopping him – and those policies are the problem. But there’s a slightly longer answer too.

President Barack Obama's recent self-congratulatory comments on the killing of Osama bin Laden must be viewed against the backdrop of past presidents, and how they related to the role of the military.

We’ve reached a watershed here, where we either live in our own heads affirming reality, regardless of spurious inputs from demagoguery or sentiment, or we give up on reality and let demagoguery and sentiment take over at the decision table. Did the president pull off a performance last night, in terms of sounding passionate and full of conviction? To some extent, yes. Does that mean he won the debate, or even achieved a draw with Romney? No.

the timing of the migrant caravan tells its own story. If we look at it as a move by Russia and Iran, in particular, it can be logically recognized as part of a campaign to attack U.S. interests on a broad front. The motive is to increase the pressure on the Trump administration across the board, partly but significantly because Trump is shifting his strategy in Syria toward going for Tehran’s solar plexus by kicking Iran out of it.
