President Obama - The CEO Who Knows Nothing

By Wayne Allyn Root

Let's assume for a moment that Obama really knew nothing about the IRS scandal. That would make him the most incompetent and clueless CEO in history. The first time the president of the United States allegedly found out about the IRS scandal was on a Friday, less than two weeks ago, just like the rest of us. We are led to believe he was watching CNN and they mentioned the IRS scandal. And I guess we’re to believe that Obama turned to his Chief of Staff and said, “Wow, those IRS dudes really went rogue!” [more...]

Benghazi and the Resilience of Civilians Deployed in Conflict Zones

By Anne Speckhard, Ph.D.

Currently thousands of civilian workers – from military contractors, to civilian and foreign service workers (representing the Departments of State, Justice, Commerce, USAID, etc.), as well as reservists and former military who return to do civilian service, bravely serve our nation - deploying into conflict zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan and into high threat security posts such as Pakistan, Libya and elsewhere. Soldiers are well trained and prepared psychologically to face armed conflict. Civilian contractors, government servants and diplomats - who serve alongside and in support of our military - are not as well trained, prepared or supported pre, during and post deployment as their military counterparts. Yet in recent years we see that they are deployed by the thousands, into uncertain and anxiety-provoking environments. And these facts have serious implications for the psycho-social resilience and physical welfare of our civilian forces deployed in high threat security environments. [more...]

What Unites Us

By Christina Tobin

Americans have diverse points of view. The greatest American sport is disagreeing with each other about them! We differ on religion, politics, sports... But the Our Bill of Rights guarantees the right to maintain (and mouth off about) our opinions. Many and varied opinions are good, because through considerate discussion, we learn and often improve our knowledge, and thus, our opinions. 311,591,917 Americans disagree on lots of things. But on the trillion-dollar issues, the big stuff, we’re united. The only ones who aren’t united with us on the big issues are the politicians who claim to represent us... and keep spending and spending. How long can we keep going in this direction without massive inflation and unemployment? Now that’s the true trillion dollar question. [more...]

Federal Prosecutors Stay Busy Busting Corrupt Union Brass

By Kyle Olson

From 2000 to 2010, government prosecutors stayed busy busting union brass involved in embezzlements and corruption. According to a U.S. Department of Labor press release, over the span of seven years, prosecutors obtained 800 convictions and secured over 850 indictments for union employees and leaders, ranging from “embezzlement from labor organizations, extortionate picketing, deprivation of union members’ rights by force or violence, and fraud in union officer elections.” [more...]

Palestinians at U.N. Warn of 'Consequences' for 'Apartheid' Israel

By Joseph Klein

Saeb Erakat, Member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Chief Palestinian Negotiator, addressed the 352nd meeting of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People at UN headquarters in New York on May 20th. His message was wrapped in the standard Palestinian victimhood narrative. It contained superficially nice sounding words about the Palestinians' interest in peace but only on their terms. [more...]

Anti-Obama Filmmaker Charges Harassment by IRS

Amid disclosures of IRS harassment of conservatives, the maker of the controversial film “Dreams from My Real Father" - Joel Gilbert - now suspects he was the victim of tag-team harassment by the IRS and a leftist journalist apparently working in concert to intimidate him and his investors. WND previously reported director Joel Gilbert was concerned a journalist investigating his documentary used information that could only have been obtained by hacking into his company’s bank account.
