Sussing Out Donald Trump

Sussing Out Donald Trump

In these past four days since Thursday night’s Republican debate, it’s been especially interesting to watch the ongoing media flap over Donald Trump and Fox News‘ Megyn Kelly.

I had been looking forward to the debate, and particularly seeing how Trump would handle himself.  I had seen his extensive interviews with Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren of Fox News, and Katy Tur of NBC News.  Trump…

A Look At The Pamela Geller Controversy

A Look At The Pamela Geller Controversy

For the past few days since the thwarted terrorist attack in Texas at Pamela Geller’s “Draw Mohammed” event, there’s been a lot of media concern over whether Geller was exercising her 1st Amendment right of free speech or merely antagonizing militant Islamists.  Actually, it was probably a little of both, but that’s Geller’s typical “take no prisoners” style; she is always blunt, sometimes…

Texas Governor Ordered U.S. Military Exercise Monitored

Texas Governor Ordered U.S. Military Exercise Monitored

  Texas Governor Greg Abbott, due to concerns about a large-scale military exercise being used as a means to take over Texas and possibly other states after implementing martial law, ordered the Texas State Guard to monitor the U.S. military operation known as Jade Helm 15, a training exercise to be conducted across seven states beginning in July.

Although I usually stay on top of the news, this…

Are You Ready For Hillary In 2016?

Are You Ready For Hillary In 2016?

As someone who writes mostly about news and politics, it’s always good to have access to people who are quicker than I to bring important facts to light – therefore, it’s no surprise to me that shortly after Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy for the presidency, Ken Johnson, a friend from Georgia, pointed out a few things we should keep in mind if we feel Hillary mightjust be the one we…

Obama Wants Congress, Israel To Trust Him - Is He Mad?

These days, I often wonder just what President Obama is going to say or do next.  It’s difficult to predict what he’ll come up with tomorrow or next week that will leave us all scratching our heads in incredulity – not only we, the American people, but Congress, Israel… hell, sometimes I think even the Iranians find him hard to figure out – but I’m sure they love Obama for that.  After all, they…

More People Questioning Obama’s Motives – and Loyalties

  Today is the deadline for reaching an agreement between the P5+1 countries and Iran over a deal which would allow Iran to develop a nuclear capability.  According to a report from Fox News, there are still major hurdles to be overcome before any agreement can be reached.  The deadline is midnight tonight, local time in Lausanne, Switzerland, (5 PM Eastern Time).

Obama's Mouthpieces Never Cease to Amaze

Obama’s Mouthpieces Never Cease to Amaze

Once again, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki has me shaking my head in disbelief and incredulity.  In a Fox News interview with Megyn Kelly, Psaki attempted to defend the White House position that trading five dangerous terrorists for accused Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl was a good swap.

Sgt. Bergdahl has been charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice with one count of Article 85,

Bibi's Big Win

Bibi’s Big Win

The news coming out of Israel this morning must have been stunning to Barack Obama.  Not only did Israeli voters not unseat Benjamin Netanyahu, they handed him a victory that surpassed the predictions of the exit polls, with Likud winning 30 seats in the Knesset compared to the “Zionist Union’s” 24.

In the couple of weeks since Netanyahu’s address before a joint session of Congress, much has…

Saudi Arabia Offers Airspace to Israel

Saudi Arabia Offers Airspace to Israel

  President Obama continues to play fast and loose with with the security and stability of the Middle East region by pursuing a deal with Iran over its nuclear program.  He’s ignored legitimate concerns Israel has voiced about the dangers of allowing Iran the capability to eventually acquire nuclear weapons, and not only that, he’s stopped sharing details of the impending talks with the Israeli…

Is Time Travel Scientifically Possible?

Is Time Travel Scientifically Possible?

I don’t often read science fiction, but when I do it’s almost always going to be a novel or short story that deals with time travel.  I fondly remember the first one I ever read, H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine.  What impressed me most about Wells’ short novel was that in the first chapter, he had me hooked with what to my young 10-year-old mind was a reasonable and logical discussion of time as…

Let's End Terrorism by Sending In the Peace Corps

Let’s End Terrorism by Sending In the Peace Corps

  President Obama continues to stun and amaze me.  Speaking yesterday at the White House summit on terrorism, he claimed yet again that organizations like the Islamic State don’t represent Islam.  Then, in a statement I thought beyond even Obama’s ability to say with a straight face, he echoed the naive and silly assertion by Marie Harf that the terrorist problem can be solved by addressing…

MoD Revealed British Snipers' Identities

MoD Revealed British Snipers’ Identities

The story of Chris Kyle in the movie American Sniper, in spite of all the good reviews it’s received, has had an unfortunate consequence.  It’s brought unnecessary attention to a few in the military service who would probably prefer the film had never been made – the snipers themselves.  And this attention hasn’t all been focused on the U.S. Navy SEALs.  There are also snipers within the Marine…

President Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast – AP/Evan Vucci

As ISIS gains strength and territory, they become more brutal and vicious in their treatment of those they capture.  We all watched in horror as they beheaded James Foley and others, but now they’ve taken it to a new level by burning a caged man alive, then showing utter contempt for his remains by having a front end loader bury him…

Lee Harvey Oswald’s Original Casket Sold

It seems a Texas funeral home has managed to cost itself a hefty sum of money after it auctioned off the wooden casket in which Lee Harvey Oswald was originally buried to an unnamed buyer.  Baumgardner Funeral Home, besides selling the casket for $87,468, also sold the embalming table on which Oswald’s body was prepared for burial, as well as…

The New York Times Couldn't Be More Wrong

The New York Times Couldn’t Be More Wrong

On Friday, The New York Times came out with an editorial pieceslamming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and House Speaker John Boehner for not following accepted protocol, and called Netanyahu’s planned March visit to Washington to address a joint session of Congress a “breach of sense and diplomacy.”  The article elaborated further, saying that “Mr. Netanyahu… apparently believes that…
