As you look at this photograph of a poor Cuban woman with her baby, click on the audio of Congresswoman Diane Watson of California and listen while you look at that photograph.  This is the ignorance, danger and threat the United States faces from within. Doesn’t know her history. Kicked out the wealthy. Can’t say [...]

As I wrote two days ago, the decision by Attorney General Eric to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate and, presumably, prosecute CIA operatives and interrogators who acted in good faith and in reliance upon Department of Justice legal opinions to use “enhanced interrogation techniques” against terrorists, will ruin the lives of those individuals and [...]

This morning I posted last night’s blog post, United States of America v. Central Intelligence Agency, on my Facebook page (http://facebook.com/michael.d.brown) and almost immediately was de-friended (a Facebook term for someone taking you off their “friends” list) by at least eight people. With more than 2,500 friends on Facebook it’s difficult to track who exactly [...]

Jed Babbin over at Human Events starts out today proclaiming the criminal indictments might as well be entitled “The United States vs. The Central Intelligence Agency.” He’s absolutely right.

Many in the West, unfortunately, will confuse the anger shown by the victims’ families and [...]

Their faces are All-American. The plumber, schoolteacher, mechanic, accountant, they were all there. Small talk, the smell of barbecue for dinner, an occasional laugh all filled the combination basketball court, and dining room. Some sat in chairs in neatly aligned rows for a ceremony. Others sat in the partially deployed bleachers, head in hands, or [...]

Hallelujah. From Congressional Quarterly comes this report on Nancy Dragini’s presentation to the Heritage Foundation. Nancy is the current President of the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) and Director of the Ohio Department of Emergency Management. Here is the article: Emergency Management Chief Decries ‘Culture of Entitlement’ By Daniel Fowler CQ Homeland Security August 18, [...]

Rich Noyes has published a great blog entry on Newsbusters that bears repeating. Reality Check: Media Double-Standard on Anti-ObamaCare ‘Mobs’   With President Obama and congressional liberals facing loud protests over their big government health care plan, journalists are casting the anti-ObamaCare forces as “ugly,” “unruly,” “nasty” mobs, with reporters presenting the most odious images [...]
