John McCain Must Be Feeling Re-Election Pressure

May 8th, 2009 · No Comments

Challenged by Chris Simcox, co-founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps in Arizona and a man with more statewide name recognition than most of the senator’s previous primary opponents, Sen.

Domestic Terrorist Added to FBI Most-Wanted Terrorists List is NOT a Veteran!

April 21st, 2009 · 2 Comments

In what must be a huge surprise to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the first domestic terrorist named to the FBI’s list of Most-Wanted Terrorists appears to have no military experience.  In other words, he’s not what Napolitano would describe as a “right-wing extremist” who needs to be watched by law enforcement.

October 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s no wonder Barack Obama chose not to visit U.S. troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany during his European tour three months ago.  A Military Times survey of nearly 4,300 readers indicates Republican John McCain enjoys overwhelming support from the military’s professional core.
