I don’t understand this “Immigration Reform” that our legislators in Washington are up to. Millions of people violated our sovereign border and thus our laws and for that reason we need the law reformed

The war on terror. Illegal immigration. Iraq. Government leaks. Dick Cheney’s shooting accident. All pale in comparison to the crisis du jour: the cost of gasoline.

More than 4 years after September 11, the nation still lacks government-wide policies and protocols for helping agencies integrate the myriad of ongoing efforts to improve the sharing of terrorism-related information that is critical to protecting our homeland.

In her recent address to the Economic Club of Chicago, Senator Hillary Clinton advocated a version of the New Deal’s state-corporatism that was patterned on Mussolini’s fascist Italy of the 1920s.

There’s another story coming about involving a former CIA operative, and this time the names Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson aren’t involved. This time, the person in question is Mary McCarthy, a veteran CIA officer who was fired for leaking …

Last week in my column “Race, Race, and more Race”, I elucidated on the (perhaps obvious) phenomenon of an inordinate percentage of our high-profile news stories inappropriately leaning toward the issue of race.

No, I’m not trying to unjustly accuse Democrat leaders of terrorism-although, with some of their ongoing and recent comments one does have to wonder. I must say that I do find Osama bin-Laden’s comments eerily similar to those I’ve heard …

Sooner or later it was bound to happen: The Central Intelligence Agency summarily terminated the employment of a senior officer for leaking classified information to news organizations, including secret intelligence for stories appearing in the Washington Post that revealed the …
