With the 70th anniversary of D-Day just a few days away, it should be a time of celebration and heartfelt appreciation. In Normandy, France, where the allied assault occurred on June 6, 1944, that is precisely the perspective. It is the way it is supposed to be. Yet here, at home, there is a cloud that hovers over one of the greatest military accomplishments in history and the inevitable question we should ask is “Why?” Just days before a monumental occasion to honor the ultimate sacrifice of thousands of soldiers from all over the world, there should be moments of...

No-bama, no bases, no war," chanted an angry crowd of protesters in Manila Monday, infuriated by a ten-year defense deal in which the United States promised support for the Filipino army in the event of any dispute with the country's neighbors growing violent.

"No-bama, no bases, no war," chanted an angry crowd of protesters in Manila Monday, infuriated by a ten-year defense deal in which the United States promised support for the Filipino army in the event of any dispute with the country's neighbors growing violent. According to NBC News, the crowd paraded through the streets with several figurines that appeared constructed with the full detail of a parade float. The centerpiece of the protest, however, was a large dog with the face of the President of the Philippines, Benigno Aquino III. The dog pulled a chariot controlled by a figurine of President...

There may be no way for the United States to reverse the Russia’s seizure of Crimea from Ukraine. The Obama administration still has the opportunity to send a strong message to Russian President Vladimir Putin to punish Moscow for this aggression in response to the ouster of one of their stooge in Kiev by a popular uprising. Indeed, he would do well to listen to the advice of Senator Marco Rubio who outlined eight steps the U.S. should take in response to the crisis. But whether or not the president acts appropriately now, it’s probably too late to preserve the...

Here's how you stop and deter Putin. it is how George Bush got the job done in 2008 in Georgia. Bush started out by talking to him face to face in Beijing and letting him know, man to man, that it was not going to go as Putin imagined. Bush faces down Putin at Beijing Olympics over Georgia We had military advisors already on the ground there. Bush immediately expedited the return of 2,000 members of Georgia's 31st Light Infantry Battalion who had been fighting beside US Marines in Afghanistan. He then sent in more US personnel and material on...

Here's my two cents on the Phil Robertson interview: MY TWO CENTS: THE PHIL ROBERTSON INTERVIEW

How juvenile, how sophmoric, and how sad for America. Truly pathetic. The pictures tell the tale of the "selfie," and the two Obamas. God grant this nightmare for our nation to soon end.

Obama: 'I'm sorry' Americans are losing insurance Associated Press By JULIE PACE 3 hours ago WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to calm a growing furor, President Barack Obama said Thursday he's sorry Americans are losing health insurance plans he repeatedly said they could keep under his signature health care law. But the president stopped short of apologizing for making those promises in the first place. "I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," he said in an interview with NBC News. Signaling possible tweaks to the law, Obama said his administration...

VANCOUVER, Wash. (KOIN) - There is nothing illegal about a message posted Thursday on a sign at a Vancouver used car dealership. But the sign was seen as racist and offensive. "That Kenyan is not my President" was the message in the bottom left corner of the business sign for Austin's Affordable Autos. President Obama's father was born in Kenya. The message, since taken down, was on private property for about four days. and the owner's freedom of speech is protected by the US Constitution. But that doesn't mean it didn't upset many people. Among the comments people said to...

Here's a list of events and instances that this President, President Barack Hussein Obama, has personally been involved in: Obama abjectly and knowingly lied about OBamaCare, misrepresenting it to Congress in order to get it passed, and lieing about it and its impact to the entire country time and again. Obama abjectly and knowingly lied about the Terrorist attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi to the entire country, and the world, covering up the death, at the hands of our enemies, of a US Ambassador, a US State Department employee and two US Navy SEALS. Obama has abjectly and...

Just heard Boehner say this on the hourly news five minutes ago regarding the Senate compromise. Hey John, THERE HASN'T BEEN A VOT IN THE HOUSE YET. You are deciding we didn't win when you can still defeat this compromise which gives us NOTHING! Lead, help...or get the hell out of the way! If you pass this with the Democrates and a minority of Republicans you need to be out as the GOP leader and Speaker of the House tomorrow.

Why don't you just STHU regarding your pathetic attacks on conservatives, Barry? You are a maggot, a bottom feeding scum, who has not one ounce of true patriotism running through whatever those are masquerading as blood veins in your body. You are an effeminate metro-sexual wimp and wuss, who can only scheme of ways to stick daggers in the backs of real Americans who are your betters or try to find other weasily, mealy mouthed ways to bring them down. You’re neither black nor white and you certainly are not American. You stand for and support everything that is the...

Today's China Military Review pronouncement regarding the construction going on at Changxing Island could indicates that the vessel is in fact a large, LHA Amphibious Assault vessel. This is the first "semi-official," type indication that the vessel and structures we see there at Changxing Island are in fact a PLAN LHA. I have come up with to explain what we are seeing. PLAN Type 75 LHA Under Construction at Changxing Island(Click for a high-res image) PLAN Type 75 Construction at Changxing Island Explanation(Click for a high-res image) From this, it is clear to me that the PLAN is constructimg its...

ALL ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S "PHONY" SCANDALS Last week (the week of July 14, 2013) President Barack Hussein Obama, in a long rambling speech, spoke of how upset he was that the country had gotten off-track as he termed it, and was too focused on what he called, "phony scandals," to address what he deemed were the real issues facing the nation. So, I thought I would examine and talk a little bit about Obama's belief that America has been "distracted," by these "phony," scandals. THE BENGHAZI SCANDAL Is one of those scandals the attack on the US consulate in...

UPENN PROFESSOR SAYS GOD IS A WHITE RACIST I didn't think it could get any more bizarre, rediculous...or ultimately dangerous...and then you have this.

As a black woman in an nation that has taken too many pains to remind me that I am not a...

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN FOUND NOT GUILTY George Zimmerman found not guilty Here are my own feelings regarding this highly publicized trial, which I followed the trial closely...each day. The jury clearly looked at the evidence, which was overwhelming for the defense and Zimmerman. Zimmerman's nose was broken and his face was bruised and bloodied after the confrontation. He had cuts and bruises on the back of his head. He had grass stains on the back of his shirt and pants. Treyvon had no injuries from the fight, except the gunshot wound. There were scrapes on his knuckles. And he had grass...
