In election years, candidates inevitably promise voters they will do more than their opponents. In practice that usually means increased debt-spending and expanding unconstitutional encroachments on liberty. Now one Republican presidential candidate has doubled-down on the most blatantly illegal action of this presidency, saying Barack Obama has not gone far enough in waging war-by-decree in Libya … [Read more...]
Anyone seeking to know why Barack Obama really committed U.S. troops to Libya’s civil war can begin by dismissing virtually everything he said in his speech Monday night out of hand.

Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson carried the nuclear football for President Bill Clinton and most recently authored the new book Conduct Unbecoming: How Barack Obama Is Destroying the Military and Endangering Our Security. He told NewsMax magazine that Obama fundraiser Jodie Evans had delivered more than $600,000 in cash and supplies to “the other side” in Fallujah during the Iraq war. … [Read more...]
MANY COMMENTATORS HAVE WONDERED WHAT CONCESSIONS BARACK OBAMA WRUNG out of the Russian leadership in exchange for canceling a major missile defense initiative in Eastern Europe this week.

IN MOST YEARS, SEVERAL PEOPLE COULD REASONABLY BE SELECTED FRONTPAGE MAGAZINE’S MAN OF THE YEAR. This year, one candidate distinguished himself beyond all others: General David Howell Petraeus.
