In yet another big flip-flop, Obama recently told the Military Times he has decided he actually would listen to the military commanders on the ground in Iraq, and not just pull out of Iraq immediately.
This is huge.
The central pillar of Obama’s platform has always been his pledge to immediately withdraw troops from Iraq. In fact, Obama has […]

I am torn in my view of the recent Supreme Court ruling granting appeals to federal court for the Gitmo prisoners who were captured on the battlefield. I think part of the problem is that the administration resisted the Constitutional method of declaring war. If that had been done, Geneva protections would have applied to the […]

Fortunately though, those times are few and far between for Americans, and even then they seem to […]

Update: http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/americasupportsyou/index.aspx Please send an encouraging note this Memorial Day to our troops.

The Hinzsight Report has uncovered an anonymous source which has provided irrefutable evidence that a US Senator with presidential aspirations has been sleeping with a lobbyist who had business before […]

I don’t know how many of you have been following the controversy out in Berkeley, California, where the City Council wanted to boot the Marine recruiting station from town and then some Republicans in Congress decided to try and strip all of Berkeley’s funding. Today, it all came to a head, and Berkeley backed down.

In Iraq, much of the reasoning for the “surge” of troops, led by Gen. David Petraeus, was to create an environment for political progress. The surge has been a success militarily, but until now the political progress was maddeningly slow. That has changed a bit:
Iraq’s parliamentary leaders on Wednesday pushed through three far-reaching measures that […]
