Senator Reid’s Vapor Bill — still unseen

One of These Things is Not Like the Others
Over 90,000 Americans were killed in the Pacific during World War II defending the United States and the world from Japanese aggression. Thank God many of the survivors passed on before they had to witness the President of the United States bowing low to the Emperor of Japan. To ...

A Conservative Campaign Built on “Handshakes & Shoe Leather”
This morning I spoke with Ed Mangano, the Republican candidate for County Executive in Long Island’s Nassau County. Mangano has already put a tremendous scare into 8-year incumbent Democrat Tom Suozzi, who was expected to stroll to re-election. And while votes are still being counted, it ...

How the Fort Hood Shooter Will be Judged
This is one heck of a read. In a time of war, they volunteered to defend us. They would have died as heroes for us. Had they, at least their families might be making some sense of the terrible loss they must feel now. With loss, there might at least be meaning — the understanding that their ...

Today’s House Vote, by the Numbers
