Ryan to the Rescue?

By Bill Glynn

Paul Ryan has a plan - a good one, I think, as a start. This plan reduces the budget deficit by 2023. This does nothing to the national debt; it is simply designed to stop adding to the debt by then. And $17 trillion is upon US! We spend so much that if we make dramatic changes today – which are a requirement to survive, ourselves – then we balance the corporate books. In other words, we borrow more and more up to that time. Will tax reform help? NO! Will Medicare and Medicaid reform help? NO! Will Social Security reform help? NO! Why? It will never get done and even if some changes occur, it will be piecemeal at best. And so I make this clear: it matters little because those programs are Ponzi schemes; and, yes, Gov. Perry, banished for saying it, was right. They own trillions of U.S. debt. So even if incremental changes are made, they are still holding the bag. [more...]

Teacher Sent Nude Photos of Her Students to Man

By Kyle Olson

How many more sexual predators must be caught in the schools before we say we have a problem? Third graders in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma’s McLoud Elementary School, had their innocence stolen from them when their teacher, Kimberly Crain, took nude photos and video of them in her classroom and home. She sent them to an accomplice, ex-professor Gary Doby. Both have admitted to their actions. Crain blamed “everything from weight gain to hypnosis to hormonal imbalance due to menopause,” according to Newson6.com. [more...]

Leveling the Playing Field

By Dave Bego

Following my recent speech at The Heritage Foundation, I had the distinct honor and pleasure to meet with members from organizations dedicated to the true spirit of preservation and protection of American freedoms. We had an in-depth discussion about forced unionization, the effect it has on American employees and employers, and the role it plays in American economics and the taking of American freedoms. The group engaged in a roundtable discussion where participants were provided an opportunity to ask questions about my book, The Devil at Our Doorstep and my personal experiences with the SEIU. They wanted to better understand how my company was able to rein in the intimidation tactics utilized by big labor during a corporate campaign, methods supported by recent NLRB decisions to force unionize employees though Card Check.  [more...]

Al Qaeda’s Lone Mujahid Pocketbook, Lone Wolves, Home-grown Terrorists and the Threat among Us

By Anne Speckhard, Ph.D.

The March issue of Al Qaeda’s Inspire Magazine is now out and is featuring The Lone Mujahid Pocketbook - drawing heavily on past issues and emphasizing homegrown, lone wolf and softer target attacks with instructions to make them accessible to many. While on some levels it’s laughable, it also brings up some troubling issues to consider regarding possible attacks from potential homegrown terrorists. First question: if the current administration’s drone strikes are so effective in decapitating Al Qaeda’s leadership, why is there still an active al Qaeda core that is able to put out such a publication?
