U.S. military officials were left in the lurch last Thursday when North Korean representatives simply failed to show up for a meeting on recovering and repatriating the remains of the U.S. troops killed during the Korean War, the Washington Post reports. According to the Post, officials from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency and representatives from United Nations Command were left waiting in the Joint Security Area of the Korean Peninsula’s demilitarized zone on July 12, although it is unclear why the North Korean counterparts failed to attend. “We were ready,” according to one anonymous official who spoke to the Post....

Mark Sanford has been very unhelpful to me in my campaign to MAGA. He is MIA and nothing but trouble. He is better off in Argentina. I fully endorse Katie Arrington for Congress in SC, a state I love. She is tough on crime and will continue our fight to lower taxes. VOTE Katie!

Descendants could feel a sense of closure. The mantra of "no soldier left behind" was going to feel true.Soft music played through...

Memorial Day is a time for remembrance. Many think of the ones who have died in combat, but a forgotten group is the Missing In Action. On this solemn day Americans should think about those who never came home, with their families left in limbo.

The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency’s mission is to find many of the missing from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Congressman Mark Walker (R-NC) told American Thinker of...

It's reasonable to ask, why is the Clinton Foundation missing from the Democrat National Convention? Every speaker tells us that Hillary has devoted her entire life to helping children. It seemed to me if Hillary did any such thing, then over the last ten years or so we'd see Mrs. Clinton featured with children's charities - then it dawned on me. Everyone keeps saying she cares deeply about the less fortunate. This has been her life's work. But where is it? Maybe I missed some people who said they were helped, but that Jumbotron and stage should be filled with...

Rep. Mia Love was a rising star two years ago when she became the first black Republican woman ever elected to Congress — as well as a symbol of the more diverse, inclusive party that GOP leaders said they needed to build. (SNIP) He lost to Love by just more than 4,000 votes in 2014, picking up a significant number of crossover votes, even though many Democrats had written off the conservative district after longtime Rep.

Allies of Hillary Clinton are confident she will win the Democratic presidential nomination, but they are worried about one big thing: her likability problem in the general election. Clinton has rebounded from a rough spring and summer with a strong fall. And while her eyes remain on the primary, she is already testing general election themes against her possible GOP opponents as they do battle in what could be a drawn-out Republican primary. Presidential elections are often decided on personality instead of specific policies. Along those lines, people in Clinton's orbit are worried she doesn't pass the would-you-like-to-have-a-beer-with-her test. It's...
