Sequestration and the War on Terror

By Al Fadi

While Congress and the administration battle over the upcoming federal budget cuts caused by “sequestration,” one must ask a very serious question: Will it affect the war on terror? With the looming automatic cuts worth billions of dollars, many crucial government operations and agencies, without a doubt, will suffer the consequences of this fiscal doomsday which was the product of a 2011 debt ceiling deal between the administration and Congress. Although all federal operations are vital, one that stands at the top is the war on terror operation conducted by many security agencies. More than $500 billion worth of cuts is expected to hit these various agencies. However, such upcoming cuts are going to hinder the operation of those agencies and in turn their fight against terrorists driven by an ideology whose ultimate goal is to overpower and take over our nation.

Raping our Privacy? Our Bodies, Drones, Invasive Search and our Fourth Amendment Rights

By Anne Speckhard, Ph.D.

As we witness the controversy over the use of drones and the public discussion about their use overseas - as well as their future overhead, right here in the U.S. - we must think hard about what other threats we may ultimately face here of accepting too much emphasis on threats to public safety. We must realize that we will always live with some level of threat - from terrorism and from other types of crimes - and we must come to an acceptable means of balancing those concerns to that of our Fourth Amendment rights protecting us against undue search and invasion of privacy.

Italy's Historical Elections

By Guido George Lombardi

The results of Italy's historical elections confirm the desire of a great many Italians who expressed their desire for change. Almost one third of the vote went to new actors of the complex Italian political system. Two great surprises characterize this election: first, the "tsunami" of the comic-turned-political agitator Beppe Grillo who won a substantial 25% in both houses of the legislature; the second is the rebirth of former premier Silvio Berlusconi (PDL), coming back from 12.8% a few months ago to almost 25% (almost 30% if you add the coalition party Lega Nord), almost gaining the upper hand in the powerful Senate.

Will Anyone Pay a Political Price for the Sequester?

By John LeBoutillier

Will anyone pay a political price for the Sequester? What is President Obama's top political priority in this budget issue? With $85 billion in Sequester cuts just days away, what is President Obama’s real political objective? Who will be the political loser if these cuts go through? Where is the GOP these days? Do they stand for anything anymore? This, and much more, will be discussed by the POLITICAL INSIDERS - Pat Caddell, Doug Schoen and John LeBoutillier - live on Fox News Channel this Sunday afternoon at 5:25 PM ET. [more...]

New Yorkers Upset By Use of Math Questions Based on the Slave Trade

By Kyle Olson

New York City parents are outraged after a student teacher blew the whistle on an inappropriate fourth grade math assignment centered on questions about the slave trade. “In a slave ship, there are 3,799 slaves. One day, the slaves took over the ship. 1,897 slaves are dead. How many slaves are alive?” read one of the questions in the Manhattan elementary school assignment, according to NY1 television. “One slave got whipped five times a day. How many times did he get whipped in a month (31 days)? Another slave got whipped nine times a day. How many times did he get whipped in a month? How many times did the two slaves get whipped together in one month?” read another question. This is obviously an outgrowth of the current fad amongst K-12 teachers to incorporate “social justice" lessons into students’ daily assignments, regardless of the subjects they teach. [more...]
