Only after claiming Congressional interference played a pivotal role in his decision, Attorney General Eric Holder announced today he will use military tribunals to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and several other alleged 9/11 terrorists. AG Holder’s decision comes barely two years after President Barack Obama’s Jan. 22, 2009, announcement that he would close the Guantanamo [...]

‘Gas Strike’ Fueled by Emotion and Ignorance (Update)
March 10th, 2011 · 9 Comments
This morning, I came across a Facebook event, titled “GAS STRIKE,” that nearly a half-million people have signed up to “attend” today. Sadly, their effort — which involves boycotting gas stations for one day — is a misguided effort driven more by emotion and ignorance than common sense. Oil companies produce the oil and make [...]

Every day, I receive news releases from organizations hoping I’ll pass along important news about their organizations to you, my readers. Today, however, was one of those days when I simply had no time to write anything for immediate consumption. As a result, I opted to share a few tidbits from my “news release” file. [...]

After the Libyan dictator was blamed for the deadly April 5, 1986, bombing of a Berlin discotheque frequented by U.S. service [...]

The article, in turn, stands as only the most-recent reminder of many about President Barack Obama’s anti-Israel sentiment. The State of Israel coin above reflects President [...]
