Figuring out how much money the U.S. sends the UN each year is a lot more difficult than you would think. Officially we are on the hook for 22% of the annual UN budget of $4.2 billion, but that is only the beginning. Huge expenses like peacekeeping missions and other “behemoths like the United Nations […]

Everyone knows that U.S. military power is without equal. Europe is too busy spending its money on wildly inflated pensions and early retirement plans while Russia and China can’t afford to build and maintain a decent navy. Because of the rest of the world’s failures we remain the only superpower left, and most Americans agree […]

In July 2012 representatives from governments around the world gathered at the UN in New York to try and hammer out a binding Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Like many leftist causes, the official reasons behind the treaty sound noble. There is nothing wrong with wanting to control terrorist access to weapons and preventing mass atrocities, […]

For a supposedly anti-war liberal Obama sure doesn’t seem to have a problem leading the U.S. to conflict (with the exception of against nuclear bomb seeking Iran). In early 2011, with the breakout of protests against Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, Obama didn’t even wait for human rights abuses to occur before beating the drums of war. At the […]

On February 24, 2010 British MEP Nigel Farage delivered an epic rant addressed to Bilderberg member and President of the EU Council Herman Van Rompuy: “Who are you? I’d never heard of you; nobody in Europe has ever heard of you. I would like to ask you, president, who voted for you and (by) what […]

Though the Palestinians have been the beneficiaries of the most anti-Israeli American government in living memory, they still got a taste of the underside of the bus in 2011 when Obama went back on his word to support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. In a 2010 UN appearance Obama pledged “When we come […]

In August 2009 British and American citizens everywhere were stunned to learn of the impending release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, better known as the Lockerbie Bomber. Al-Megrahi was convicted in 2001 for the murder of 259 passengers and crew of Pan Am Flight 103 which had been blown up by a terrorist’s bomb over Lockerbie, […]

You would think Obama would’ve learned from our involvement in Iraq what happens when a Middle Eastern dictator is deposed only to have Islamic fundamentalists rise up and take his place. Hint: it’s not pretty. At least in the case of Iraq there was good reason for Bush to get rid of Saddam Hussein – […]

Most people know that Obama’s father was Kenyan. As Kenya’s favorite son Obama still has family there including a half-brother living in extreme poverty, whom he hasn’t bothered to help out in the least, and a grandmother who insists Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii. One of the more illustrious Obama clan members is “cousin” Raila […]

Obama sure didn’t take long to insult America’s closest ally. Just days after taking office he unceremoniously shipped the Oval Office Winston Churchill bust back to Great Britain, even though they practically begged him to keep it. As undiplomatic as this action was, Obama was just getting started at putting his own personal stamp on […]

Under Obama’s watch there has been a public outpouring of hatred towards Jews the likes of which I never thought I would live to see. From Helen Thomas telling the Jews “get the hell out of Palestine” to heavily armed terrorist flotillas destined for the Gaza Strip described as “peaceful” by the western press, a sea […]

Over the past few years every so often an Iranian nuclear scientist would find himself on the wrong end of a high powered explosive device. The method of choice was motorcycle riding assassins latching bombs onto moving vehicles and then scooting off before the target was sent to meet his maker. The technique has been […]

It used to be a given that the U.S. would stand by its allies. While there might be disagreement at times, the worst that an American friend could expect was some stern words and a cold shoulder. Obama on the other hand has taken his dislike of the Jewish state to a whole new level. […]

It didn’t take Obama long to show his preference for dictators over the rule of law with his treatment of the 2009 constitutional crisis in Honduras. Surrounded by countries with less than stellar human rights records, the Honduran people wisely put in place a constitution that limited its President to a single four year term. […]

Even for someone as woefully unprepared for high office like Obama, figuring out that Iran poses a clear and present danger to our national security shouldn’t have been all that difficult to figure it out. Yet you wouldn’t know it by watching Obama at work. As a candidate he naively extolled the virtues of diplomacy […]

Usually when two nations hammer out an agreement, both respective leaders come to the table with the intention of getting the best deal possible for their side. As luck would have it for Russia in 2009, START I (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) which has governed the strategic nuclear strengths of the U.S. and Russia since 1991, […]
