Early in his first administration Obama showed us who he was, and most people probably don’t remember when and how. The subject was the attempt by Honduras’ President Zeleya to seize more power, and the battle against him. I was … Continue reading →
As soon as Obama was elected it was a foregone conclusion that this would be the result in Iraq—that the country would be taken over by the worst forces in the area. Since then, it’s just been the slow denouement: … Continue reading →
In a segment I just heard on Fox’s Kelly File about the current immigration crisis, Dennis Michael Lynch predicted that things are due to get a lot worse soon, because entire villages in Central America are practically being emptied out … Continue reading →
But I should have. I should have. In a classified briefing, reportedly: White House Blames Hagel For Bergdahl Swap Controversy, Says He Made “Final Call.” Success has many fathers, failure is an orphan. [Hat tip: commenter “jack.”]
