EDITOR’S NOTE: Carter Wood of the National Association of Manufacturers’ Shopfloor blog is, perhaps, the only person on the planet who has written as much as I have about the $113 billion lawsuit in which Chevron Corp. is entangled in Ecuador. Below, with his permission, I share his latest article, In Chevron Shakedown, Ecuador’s Government [...]

Does Hope Float in the Middle East?
June 2nd, 2010 · 3 Comments
Is it possible that President Barack Obama’s signing of a presidential determination Jan. 27, 2009, resulted in direct support going to people aboard vessels in the Gaza-bound flotilla that has stirred up so much controversy in recent days? I think it is. According to this Feb. 4, 2009, entry in the Federal Register, President Obama [...]

Earlier today, after reading a post Pamela Geller published at Atlas Shrugs, I published a piece under the headline, Is State Dept Playing April Fools Joke on Israel? The difference between our posts? I videotaped my computer screen as I went through the motions and clicks on the State Department web site to show proof [...]

Is State Dept Playing April Fools Joke on Israel? (Update)
April 1st, 2010 · 32 Comments
Based on his actions and the statements he’s made since climbing onto the world stage three years ago, I’m convinced President Barack Obama would be happy to see Israel and all of its Jewish inhabitants disappear from the surface of the Earth. Truth be told, his posture toward the Jewish State — minus out-and-out calls [...]

Woods Fund Leader Remains Silent About Obama Votes to Fund Arab American Action Network
February 25th, 2010 · 2 Comments
Two years ago today, I reached out to Deborah Harrington, president of the Chicago-based Woods Fund, to ask whether Barack Obama, acting in his capacity as a director/board member of the organization, had cast any votes in favor of providing grants for Arab American Action Network. To date, I’ve received no response, and the silence [...]

Definitions of Democrats and ‘Change’ Offered
July 8th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Today, Doug Ross shares what is perhaps the best one-two punch I’ve seen in quite a while. Perfectly complementing the change-defining photo at right is the paragraph below that he pulled from David Kahane’s article, I Still Hate You, Sarah Palin, published yesterday at National Review Online: “In other words, stop thinking of the Democratic [...]

Obama’s Anti-Israel Stance Surfaces in State Department’s Participation in Racism Conference
February 23rd, 2009 · No Comments
The United States government’s participation in the United Nations World Conference Against Racism appears to line up with President Barack Obama’s anti-Israel stance — the same one that inspired the creation of a State of Israel coin as part of Barack Obama’s Seven Mystery States Coin Collection launched Jan. 16. On Feb. 14, the U.S. [...]
