The outrages perpetrated by the Obama administration have come so thick and fast that it’s easy to lose track of them. But for me, one of the worst has been the removal of the KSM trial from the military to … Continue reading →
Byron York continues on the Walpin case, even if hardly anyone else is paying attention (something the Obama administration is banking on). York writes that, just a few hours after Senator Charles Grassley and Representative Darrell Issa had presented a … Continue reading →
Ah, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday that Lockerbie terrorist Al Megrahi was released by Scottish authorities on compassionate grounds and sent home to Libya to die. It may seem only yesterday, but in fact it’s been … Continue reading →
