Nato is feeling pretty pleased with itself right now. Of course when you chat to officials in the soulless, concrete monolith that is Nato HQ here in Brussels, no-one expresses pleasure at the current situation in Europe after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But they are quick to tell you how surprised, amazed or encouraged they are, and that the alliance is so "very" united. And that both transatlantic and EU-Nato co-operation on sanctions against Russia, for example, have been so smooth. This is far from always the case. "If you'd asked me back in February, or even six months ago,...

The man at the center of what may be the worst corruption scandal in California history was in court today, dozing off. Robert Rizzo, the former city manager of Bell, Calif., shocked the nation when it was revealed that his salary in office was $800,000 a year. Now, the Justice Department has uncovered a document that may help explain, in part, how city leaders financed their lavish salaries. The one-page memo was titled "Bell Police Department Baseball Game." "All of this was just a means by Rizzo to nickel and dime the community to death to get more money out...

I was embarrassed for my country when many Americans let the fear of terrorism turn them into cringing cowards, willing to give up our basic civil liberties for the illusion of safety, ignoring how we are 200 times more likely to die in our automobile than in a terrorist attack on our soil. I am equally embarrassed today. Many of my fellow Americans have let themselves be manipulated by corporate interests and ratings-hungry media. They have become frightened, angry, and unable to cooperate to form a more perfect union. Why do so many Americans have so little faith in our...

Howdy all, I'm a long-time lurker, occasional poster here on FR. I’ve always enjoyed the good articles, lively debate and excellent resources for conservatives here, so I’m taking the liberty of bringing a slight “issue” to y’all to see what you think. Recently (around the start of summer, about two months ago) my younger sister (aged 22) started talking about a young man she’d met in one of her Communications classes. She said he was very nice, handsome, smart, and it was obvious that she was starting to take an interest in him. About a month ago, they went out...

8 Characteristics of a Counterfeit Christian Church By Eric Johnson With the leaders of thousands of different religions and churches attempting to make their beliefs appear authentic, it behooves a person to carefully ascertain truth from error. In fact, many leaders of these faiths may call themselves "Christian" and even attempt to convert Christians into their churches. After all, Jesus Himself said in Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." This is why John warned the believers in 1 John 4:1 to "believe not every spirit, but try...

The Discovery Institute, as indicated by its wedge document, wishes to eliminate science's focus on natural causes. The group views this focus as the source of society's increasing materialism, which makes it anathema in the belief system of Discovery's members. Stephen C. Meyer, the lead author of EE, heads the Discovery Institute and is mentioned by name in the wedge document, as is coauthor Paul Nelson. Evolution has been singled out for special ire by Discovery, as it provides an explanation for the origin of humanity based solely on natural processes. Although the ID movement has not developed a research...

"All right," was the assessment of legendary Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos as he left his luxury box following Mexico's 2-2 tie with the USA on Wednesday. "Next time we'll win," he said, before cracking a smile and sticking his tongue out to reveal he wasn't so sure. El Tri failed for the 10th straight time to beat the USA on U.S. soil, but this time the dominating contingent of Mexican supporters in the Houston crowd of 70,103 wasn't left as disappointed as usual. In the previous nine U.S.-hosted Mexico games, the USA won eight and tied once while outscoring the...

Beckham's first goal in a Los Angeles Galaxy uniform came Wednesday night, and it couldn't have come at a better time or in a more impressive fashion. His curling 30-yard free kick past D.C. United goalkeeper Troy Perkins helped remind fans from New York to Los Angeles why Beckham is worth watching. Now, instead of ditching their tickets to Saturday's Los Angeles Galaxy-New York Red Bulls game at Giants Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET) faster than lead paint-covered toys, New York area soccer fans are looking for as many tickets as they can get. What can we expect this weekend at...

CARSON, Calif. (AP) -Kris Boyd scored in the 56th minute to give Glasgow Rangers a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy in a soccer friendly Wednesday. Chris Burke passed from the right edge of the penalty area to Alan Hutton, who found Boyd from the right flank. Boyd, who led the Scottish Premier League with 20 goals, beat his defender and scored from 13 meters. "They held the ball in spots and got us running a little bit,'' said Galaxy defender Tyrone Marshall. "When we get back to (Major League Soccer), we can use that to our advantage in...

AC Milan 2-1 Liverpool 'Pippo Inzaghi struck twice as AC Milan gained revenge for their 2005 Champions League final defeat against Liverpool with victory in Athens. Inzaghi scored a freak opener in first-half injury time, unwittingly deflecting Andrea Pirlo's free-kick past a wrong-footed Pepe Reina. Steven Gerrard missed a glorious chance to equalise before Inzaghi slid home a second eight minutes from time. Dirk Kuyt pulled one back with a header with a minute left, but time ran out.'
