President Obama seems heck-bent on discrediting the United States. Never has an American president apologized as often, or as needlessly, as our current Commander-in-Chief. And, he’s only been in office 100 days. America was right to drop the atomic bombs on Japan, right to strike back at terrorists following the 9/11 tragedy, and right to assert our influence throughout [...]

Following the worldwide debacle known as the Second World War, having a permanent forum available for nations to discuss and work out differences seemed like a good idea. The failure of Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations had been blamed for the outbreak of hostilities just two decades after the conclusion of ”The War To End All Wars.” [...]

Bad guys lose. Good guys win. It’s a scenario often wished for but too rarely played out in real life.

For years I couldn’t understand why this day was referred to as “Good.” It seemed to me that the greatest injustice of all time happened when Jesus was nailed to a cross. How such a miscarriage of justice could be regarded as “Good” was beyond me. Easter morning was certainly good, and the same can be said for Christmas. But [...]

President Obama received favorable media coverage during his recent whirlwind tour of Europe and points east. However, following are two opinions you won’t read in the New York or Los Angeles Times. The contrast with the MSM’s fawning reporting is striking.

All across the nation, fields are being readied, equipment is checked and repaired, and little boys dream of driving in the game winning run or making the diving catch to squelch the opposition’s rally.

A few weeks ago columnist Kathleen Parker penned a defense of print media. Declaring that despite “a few bad actors” in the journalistic profession, newspapers remain the best source of hard news. No other news outlets have the boots on the ground necessary to discover obscure information, while many bloggers “rely on newspapers to provide their [...]
