Rudyard Kipling records that a 19th century British viceroy of the Indian Raj who, upon taking command of his province, learned it was the custom, at a man’s funeral, for the villagers to throw his almost always much younger surviving wife onto the deceased man’s funeral pyre—while she was still alive. Upon learning of this [...]
This week, Rush Limbaugh spent a good deal of time discussing a courageous piece by Andy McCarthy entitled, The Wages of Willful Blindness: Is it Time for Defenders of Liberty to Abandon the GOP?. While McCarthy’s entire body of work regarding mainstream Islam demonstrates his fearlessness, with this new article he places himself on a [...]
Jordan’s King Abdullah has recently warned the world that a collapsing Syria creates the risk that its chemical weapons stores will fall into the hands al Qaeda and or sundry other Middle Eastern terrorist groups.

Consider the July 2012 article in Vanity Fair. The magazine promoted the article on its cover by blurbing – Who Does Netanyahu Fear Most? Yet [...]
Two-hundred and thirty-six years ago, nearly to the day, after our founders signed the Declaration of Independence, the Roberts Supreme court ruling on Obamacare will make nearly every American dependent on the government for his or her very well-being. June 28, 2012 will be America’s first dependence day. In 1963, President Johnson, shortly after the [...]
The failed Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, will be remembered as saying of the 2,700 page healthcare bill, “We need to pass it, to see what’s in it.” It is hard to calculate the breadth of liberal outrage if Sarah Palin or any other prominent Republican had made such an absurd statement.

Pamella Geller’s book, Stop the Islamization of America, published last year, grows more important each year given the events taking place both in the Muslim world and inside the USA.
