Moral anarchy takes many forms.
It can percolate upward, when petty crimes are ignored by the authorities.
This used to happen routinely under progressive leadership in New York City, where litter, graffiti and boorish public behavior signaled the real and present danger of more serious crimes like muggings, murders and rapes.
Beginning with policing minor violations, crime-busting U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani restored order while serving as New York’s mayor from 1994 to 2001.… Continue Reading

Against a backdrop of quietly extended military deployments in Afghanistan to preserve a lame-duck legacy, we’re yet again reminded that the rule of law does NOT apply to the ruling class, especially not at Department of State. With journalism hijacked by 24-hour cable news hysteria, fueled by the cheap melodrama of celebrity-anchor idol worship, dedicated news junkies retreat to CSPAN for facts unblemished by “entertainment.”
Two fatally-flawed national candidates literally stumble towards the most powerful elected office in the world, while global jihad assaults the daily routine of Hometown U.S.A. … Continue Reading

German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that multiculturalism has “utterly failed,” adding that it was an illusion to think Germans and foreign workers could “live happily side by side.” The failure of multiculturalism is also seen in Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and other European countries. Immigrants coming from Africa and the Middle East refuse to assimilate and instead seek to import the failed cultures they fled.
Leftist diversity advocates and multiculturalists are right to argue that people of all races, religions and cultures should be equal in the eyes of the law.… Continue Reading

You know I love it when we find hypocrisy emanating from the progressive socialists of the left. Yeah, I know, it’s really not that hard, and they make it easy — well, for those with the courage to go on offense against them.
In the aftermath of the Orlando Islamic terror attack, the left has been spewing forth its manufactured and fabricated narrative about gun control. Heck, they even carried a rainbow banner from the New York City pride parade that blamed Islamic jihadists the Republican Party for hate.… Continue Reading
It is galling the day after July 4th to be greeted by yet one more official at the highest level of government, who has declined to respect the rule of law in favor of giving a free pass to the Obama Administration.
FBI Director James Comey indicted Hillary Clinton in the court of public opinion by laying out before the TV cameras, step by step, her gross negligence in handling classified material, including Top Secret information that would compromise our national security if made accessible to our enemies.

U.S. House oversight revelations with new details surrounding the travesty of Benghazi in September 2012 meet with scorn and denial from a glitterati press bent upon carrying the water for an incompetent, disingenuous administration. Utter disgust laced with a healthy dose of jaded skepticism should be the order of the day for every devoted American.
Reality of a world ablaze with global jihad against all civilized societies serves as stark contrast to the U.S.… Continue Reading

The Democrats’ “sit in” on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives is built on a narrative that casts them as heroes for the people who want to pass “gun safety” laws, and the Republican leadership as so uncaring they won’t move to stop domestic terrorists from buying guns legally for fear this might anger the National Rifle Association.
This is a false narrative.
The deception begins with polls. A CNN/ORC poll conducted June 16-19, is a good example.… Continue Reading

The terrorist attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12 has sparked the usual knee-jerk reactions from politicians and the liberal media for more gun control legislation, in the mistaken belief that such laws might have prevented the attack as well as future attacks.
One of the biggest lies with regard to the Orlando attack is the type of weapon that was used. The media are pushing the narrative that Omar Mateen had an assault weapon—originally identified as an AR-15 before being correctly identified as a Sig Sauer MCX—and that it is a “military” weapon.… Continue Reading

While Americans’ faith in many U.S. institutions has fallen from the levels of previous decades, the public’s confidence in the military has remained consistently high. The average confidence level across all 14 institutions tested in 2004 was 43%, compared with 32% this year. In contrast, the 73% confidence rating that Americans give the military today is essentially unchanged from the 75% rating they gave it 12 years ago.
The military reached its highest level of confidence — 85% — in March 1991, just after the first Persian Gulf War.… Continue Reading

The state of the U.S. military readiness has been debated a lot recently while the U.S. Senate considers the law that specifies the budget for the Department of Defense for each fiscal year, also known as the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA. We’ve discussed several of those important questions and will follow up in subsequent articles on what is missing from the debate over the military and national defense. For now I want to focus on the most egregious provision: including women in Selective Service, which can lead to a mandatory draft.… Continue Reading
