Labor Department’s new rules are a costly, confusing bureaucratic maze for most investors

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Department of Labor has proposed a complex and flawed set of new rules that will do nothing to further the goal of ensuring financial advisers put their clients first. We agree with the Department’s goal, but the maze of bureaucratic rules they have proposed simply won’t work.

When It Comes to Homeland Security Issues, Who Can We the People Trust?

Among the more heart-breaking scandals emerging from the Obama presidency is the widespread loss of public trust in the veracity of what the president and top officials in his administration say to we the people.

Media Bias That Makes You Sick

The Umbilical Cord of Palestinian love and Israeli hatred

I have never met anyone, apart from Arabs who describe themselves as Palestinians, who really give a genuine damn about the Palestinians unless it is linked by an umbilical cord to the hatred of Israel.

The Plight of Emad Tayefeh

A young Iranian filmmaker named Emadeddin (Emad) Tayefeh was forced to flee his homeland earlier this year after its totalitarian regime grew suspicious of his latest documentary project that focuses on political repression in that country.

We hear how you won’t authorize strikes on ISIS because of environmental concerns.

TURKEY-RUSSIA TURMOIL

Leading from behind, or more accurately, failing to lead at all, has its consequences. Turkish jets shot down a Russian Su-24 fighter jet Turkey claimed was over its airspace, and both pilots were reportedly killed. In addition, American-backed Syrian rebels shot down a Russian rescue helicopter, killing one crew member. Russian guided missile cruiser Moskva will now be deployed off the Syrian coast, with Lieutenant General Sergey Rudskoi warning that "every target posing a potential threat will be destroyed," and all military contacts with Turkey "will be suspended."

Hillary vows not to utter the hurtful phrase ‘illegal immigrants’ anymore

In the land of Clinton, when certain terms fall out of favor, they're banished to a strange netherworld from which they are never to emerge. Phrases like "Juanita Broderick," "White Water," private server," and "cattle futures" have long been exiled to this purgatory. Other words & phrases, like "radical Islam" and "Benghazi" currently stand on the brink. However, at least one term has recently joined Hillary's infamous banned list.

Marco Rubio: Another charming young man

Most Americans believe our country is going on the wrong direction, as shown by the latest polls (NBC/WSJ 64% and USC/LA Times 70%). We are facing the near total transformation promised by President Barack Hussein Obama, one that has taken the USA from an exceptional world power to a lawless corrupt nation and a joke among world leaders.

Will Senator Cruz Follow Reagan’s Lead on the NSA?

Craig Shirley, author of Last Act: The Final Years and Emerging Legacy of Ronald Reagan, is an impressive writer with a vast knowledge of Reagan’s terms as president who has nonetheless gotten a very important part of Reagan’s legacy wrong. Shirley has written about how Reagan would have reacted to the Paris massacre by enlisting today’s “Christian Russia” and “free market China” in a coalition against Islamic terrorism.

Help Me, Please!

Help me please. Have you noticed anything that is terribly wrong with our nation of late? Do you not think that there is something eerily wrong with where we are as a nation, when [the] President of the United States, himself, chooses to outright downplay the role of Islamic terrorism in the world? Discard them as a "set-back"? Or...treat them [ISIS] as a "Junior Varsity" basketball team?

Obama’s climate negotiator: China’s CO2 output can keep rising because their economy needs to grow

Let's not forget the other travesty going on in Paris at the moment - the one Obama thinks will really show ISIS that we mean business. That's the one in which elected officials from nations across the globe conspire to raise taxes and put crushing new controls on industry using the pretext of global warming - oh, sorry, "climate change - because the public won't support these policies they've wanted to impose all along if not for some scare scenario about a looming global ecological disaster.

UN Security Council Must Get Serious On Destroying Islamic State

Brussels in lock-down, mayhem in Mali and the shooting down of a Russian war plane by Turkey have swiftly followed the unanimous passage on 20 November 2015 of an ineffectual French-sponsored Security Council Resolution 2249 (2015) in the record breaking time of just 34 minutes.
