Based on a resolution within their own group, the Republican Women have recognized that those who defend our freedoms, including our right to vote, are being penalized by the late primary election in Delaware. The Brave [...]

One of the problems that America has faced is that we look at national defense based upon today’s challenges. We should. That is not where we need to stop. Our defense posture must be preparedness against potential and future threats. We must develop future weapons systems to stay a couple of steps ahead of the [...]

The President has gotten his repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. I find it disgusting that they warped surveys which showed opposition and tried to make opponents in the military seem supportive. When people said that it would cause some problems instead of a lot of problems, they were lumped in as supporting the [...]

The famous Army doctor Lt. Col. Terrance Lakin who refused to deploy with his unit because the President was “not a native born American” has pleaded guilty to one count and is expected to be booted from the Army two years short of retirement. Obviously, he should not go to prison when others who do [...]

So we disrupted a war for a man laughing. How thin skinned and inept does the regime in Washington look? Once again, I was right and the liberal know nothings were wrong.

Here is the inspiring story of American casualty # 1000 in the Afghan war. The 1,000th American serviceman killed in Afghanistan had already fallen once to a hidden explosive, driving his Humvee over a bomb in Iraq in 2007. The blast punched the dashboard radio into his face and broke his leg in two places. [...]

Read this disgusting politicization of Memorial Day by Senate Candidate Chris Coons. We are in the middle of two wars but he can not even resist the impulse to allowing a study before starting social experimentation on the military in the name of repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Late Thursday night the House voted on [...]

Our fine Governor (at least for today) is signing a bill to give new bill which will help pay for Master’s Degrees, provide in-state tuition rates to Del. Guardsmen who live out-of-state. There are ever increasing challenges for Guardsmen. The question is no longer if you will be deployed but when. It is a good [...]

The White House is appointing itself “The Interrogation Czar” in yet another move that makes me wonder if Congress is ever going to step in and do some of the stuff we elected them to do: President Barack Obama has approved creation of a new, special terrorism-era interrogation unit to be supervised by the White [...]

This administration is proposing to slash missile defense. The timing seems to less than desirable to put this nation’s self defense in the grip of hope alone. PRK (North Korea) is said to be planning to fire a warning shot at Hawaii on Independence Day. GWB’s missile interceptors are on the way. Thank God for [...]

$328,835 is the pricetag for the White House’s tragically stupid New York City photo-op according to the Air Force. Check it out: The flight by the VC-25, a modified Boeing Co. 747, and two F-16 fighter jets cost $328,835, Air Force spokeswoman Vicki Stein said. $328,835 for a picture at a time when many Americans [...]

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 [...]

Update: http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/americasupportsyou/index.aspx Please send an encouraging note this Memorial Day to our troops. Americans believe that Senator McCain will win the War in Iraq, but only 20% believe Senator Obama will win it. That is a significant underlying disadvantage to Senator Obama and a major hidden strength for Senator McCain. It could help explain why [...]
