![]()
How do Bush, Obama, Mullen, Kilcullen, Petraeus, McChrystal and now John R. Allen - current commanding general in Afghanistan - explain the welcome Allied forces received across Europe in 1945 despite massive suffering and death the Allies, too, inflicted? What’s different about this war?

A Failing Grade for America's Educational System
45% of new teachers quit within five years. Could it be because the U.S. ranks 23rd in science, 17th in reading, and 31st in math and the national dropout rate is as high as 40%, with urban centers at as high as 80%? Good job, Department of Education!
Appeasement Loses; Psychology of Defeat Wins

Sovereignty and Suzerainty in the Israeli, U.S. Relationship

The Greens Think You're Stupid

Obama's Risky Ploy – Iran
![]()
Obama feels more comfortable with Turkey's Erdogan and Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah than he does with one of America’s greatest allies, Israel’s Netanyahu. Obama has yet to visit Israel, yet he waxed eloquent in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Are Americans fooled?
U.S. Court Sides with Iranian Opposition Group vs. U.S. State Department
![]()
The MEK renounced violence in 2001 and, in 2003, it voluntarily disarmed. Every member held in Iraq was reviewed for prosecution as terrorists and no charges were brought. Is it now wise to delist the MEK as a Foreign Terrorist Organization?

Colorado's Own Green Loan Sinkhole
![]()
Like the rosy projections the Obama Administration used to justify pouring half-a-billion dollars in eco-subsidies down the now-bankrupt Solyndra solar drain, Abound Solar's financial outlook was based on mathematical make-believe too. Hope plus change equals fail.

The War on Conservative Women
![]()
If Michelle Malkin had a dollar for every time she’s been called a "Manila whore" and "Subic Bay bar girl," she'd be able to pay for a ticket to a Hollywood-for-Obama fundraiser.
