I appreciate Marc Clauson’s take on P.M. Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. Let me add just a couple of quick notes. Netanyahu reminded me of Churchill, which makes Obama too much like Chamberlain. Winston Churchill, as a Member of Parliament before World War 2, thundered in the House of Commons about Hitler’s intentions. He warned the […]

“They said to him, ‘Then say Shibboleth,’ and he said, ‘Sibboleth,’ for he could not pronounce it right. Then they seized him and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan.” (Judges 12:6) Recently, Wisconsin Governor and GOP presidential contender Scott Walker was in London where the following exchange occurred during a question/answer session after […]

We’ve discussed the Keystone Pipeline before, and today’s veto really doesn’t bring anything new to light. We still have an administration that has been reviewing this proposal for over 6 years, and a congress that considers this essential for creating jobs and signaling a positive climate for business. Environmentalists have made clear to the Democratic […]

Does Obama “Love” America?
23 Feb 2015
Rudy Giuliani, Darrell Issa, and too many other Republicans have spent the last few days spouting about the degree to which President Obama may or may not love his country. Not only is this a waste of time, it is hypocritical and it misses the point. President Obama’s ideology is inherently critical of America. As […]

“Don’t Know Much About History”
23 Feb 2015
I didn’t know until today of a further statement President Obama made in his closing remarks at the Anti-Terrorism summit. This particular remark is simply unbelievable from a historical standpoint. Does the president not care at all to tell the whole truth, or any truth for that matter? Does he, as one writer put it, […]

The “Jobs for Jihadis” Issue, Taken Seriously
20 Feb 2015
I wanted to address the “Jobs for Jihadists” ruckus from the past few days in a bit more detail. The reader may remember I mentioned this in my post of earlier on President Obama’s terrorism summit. Obama and spokespeople had suggested that one major solution to the terrorist problem was the economic situation in Islamic […]

The Summit That Was Not
19 Feb 2015
I listened to part of President Obama’s closing speech at the “Anti-extremism Summit” today. And I have read what his associates have said about terrorism, particularly in the context of the ISIS threat. I have reached a conclusion about the president, after hearing and reading his words. But first, what did he say today (February […]

Scott Walker and Education
16 Feb 2015
Scott Walker (R-WI) must be the front-runner for the GOP’s presidential nomination. Why? He is earning significant scrutiny from mainstream media outlets, primarily over two issues, which are related–his lack of a college degree and his views on evolution. While we need a president with brainpower, smart presidents are not always good presidents. What we […]

As homosexual marriage winds its way through the judicial system, President Barack Obama is likely to go down in history as a champion of gay rights, as the first president to endorse gay marriage. In reality, Obama’s position on gay marriage was cynical and calculated to maximize political results. Obama, famously, came out in favor […]

Groundhog Day Budget
04 Feb 2015
The Administration’s Budget, released February 2, 2015, saw its shadow and is predicting at least 12 more years of ever encroaching federal government, rising taxes, and a more well defined Nanny State. Based on Table S-4 “Adjusted Baseline by Category”, outlays are expected to increase by more than 80% from 2012 to 2025. This diagram simply illustrates […]
