An Interview with Carly Fiorina on National Defense and Islam

In speaking with Carly Fiorina, I began by saying, “I’m worried about a knockout blow to the U.S. delivered by what I call the new “Axis of Evil,” that being, Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and their satellites. I’ve heard you say that on your first day in office, you would call Khamenei (Iran’s Supreme [...]

A Raid on ISIS by the U.S. and Kurds Portends Great Events

Last Thursday night, October 22, in a daring raid, U.S. Special forces teamed with Kurdish Peshmerga forces and attacked an ISIS controlled prison in Hawijah, just outside the now autonomous Kurdish region of Northern Iraq. They heroically liberated 70 prisoners scheduled for beheading on the following day after prayers. Sadly, a titan of the U.S. Special [...]

The Iran Deal Makes War Inevitable

In my book, Lessons from Fallen Civilizations, I developed a list of ten immutable principles which govern the fall of great peoples and which can be seen to repeat over the last three millennia. My Immutable Law #3 reads: Appeasement of a ruthless outside power always invites aggression. Treaties made with ruthless despots are always [...]

Train Attack Shows ISIS Continues to be Upgraded

Just one year ago, on September 10, 2014 Obama said that we would “degrade and ultimately destroy ISIS.” And while Donald Trump’s campaign antics, a plunging stock market and Hillary Clinton’s criminality have dominated the news, the horrifying global growth of ISIS continues.

Can Congress Protect Us from the Next Munich Pact?

With the Iran deal -- the JCPOC (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) -- now being reviewed by Congress, many of us worry that Obama and team will prove to be even worse negotiators than was Neville Chamberlain, the man whose contribution to the 1938 Munich Pact with Hitler’s Nazi Germany guaranteed World War II.

The Bin Laden Papers Show Obama to be a Fool

Stephen Hayes and Tom Joscelyn recently reported that after four years of “fierce internecine battles and inexplicable delays,” the intelligence community released a few documents (roughly 100) obtained in the raid which killed bin Laden. This number of documents now becoming public is far overdue and paltry, given that Tom Donilon, Obama’s then national security [...]

Hillary Lied While People Died, Hence She’s Also Unfit for Command

Myriad scandals now engulf the Clinton campaign. There is the destruction of her private email server and thousands of emails, her profiteering from the sale of American uranium to the Russians, and the huge donations to her sham foundation from foreign countries during her tenure as Secretary of State. But it’s also worth remembering that [...]
