European criticism of Trump goes far beyond a simple displeasure with the man who will be the next president.

Gilson followed up by asking why the American theme was considered offensive, and if the concerns came from fellow students or administration. "To be honest, I'm not sure. I think it was administrative," Rivera replied. "I was told that our advertising was too 'military and recruitment-oriented,' because we had the Uncle Sam saying 'I want you…' I think?

The reason our authorities don't take pre-emptive action against Islamic terror -- even after solid intelligence warnings.Why does the Obama administration keep failing to thwart Muslim terrorist attacks in the U.S. after receiving apparently good intelligence warning of those attacks? It turns out that Americans keep turning in budding Muslim terrorists to the Obama administration and the administration keeps on doing nothing. For example, the alleged mastermind of the weekend pressure-cooker bombing in New York City was turned in by his own father but the Federal Bureau of Investigation failed to do much of anything about him. These intelligence failures...

I like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. In a dream world the bread is super soft, like the Wonder Bread of my childhood, and the sandwich will have crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam, and a cup of cold milk to go with it. Maybe PB&J isn't your favorite sandwich, but I want you to imagine your favorite comfort food for a moment. Maybe it's a hamburger, a piece of pie, or a fruit smoothie. Whatever it is, just imagine yourself enjoying the very best version of your very favorite food. It's perfectly delicious. Then, imagine yourself glancing up on the...

By global standards, the poor of the U.S. are fantastically rich, yet they die sooner than the poor of other lands. Again, look at the poorest part of Baltimore. In 2010 the median household income here was $17,000, whereas the median in India was $5,150 after adjusting for purchasing power. Yet men in this part of Baltimore have a shorter life expectancy--63 years--than the Indian average of just more than 65 years. These Americans have more than triple the median purchasing power of Indians and yet have nearly two years less to live. The U.S. problem is not limited to...

America belongs to its patriots and not to a community street organizer-cum-career politician, operating on anti-American spite. It’s finally here, virtue of the fullness of time. If, like hurricanes, years were named, 2016 would be the ‘Year of Hope’. All patriots should begin the New Year by girding up for political battle. The Democrats, who sanctimoniously believe they own a Karl Marx-given right to rule the masses, won’t relinquish power without an epic push. They come smugly out of the starting gate with the likes of (Do the Right Thing) Google leading the charge for shop-worn, Saul Alinsky advocate Hillary...
