Shoot First, Aim Later: Obama Administration Edition
Can we pause from our 47 percent feeding frenzy just for a moment to ponder what the media would do with the following facts if George W. Bush was still in the White House? Barack Obama, September 12, 2012: “There’s a broader lesson to be learned here . . . And I — you know, Governor Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later. And as president, one of the things I’ve learned is you can’t do that. That, you know, it’s important for you to... Continue Reading

Jay Sekulow on Sean Hannity Radio: Don’t Fund Radical Islamic Governments
The United States was attacked on 9/11, eleven years after the worst terrorist attack on our soil. The Obama Administration refuses to acknowledge that this was a coordinated attack on our embassy. The U.S. continues to send billions of our tax dollars to radical Islamic-led regimes. Listen as Jay Sekulow discusses these important developments with Sean Hannity on his radio program. Listen now:... Continue Reading

When the Black Flags Fly
I’ll never forget the first time I saw the black flags. It was April, 2008, and I was in a three-vehicle convoy driving through the city of Balad Ruz on our main supply route. I’d been on the route many times before and had seen only the hustle and bustle of a small Arab city. But this time was different. The streets were empty — with little traffic and almost no pedestrians — and the black flags were flying. Everywhere. We knew what that meant. In our region, at least, ... Continue Reading

Egypt Grows More Dangerous
Two stories today highlight that Egypt is on the brink of disaster. First, in an eery echo of Iran in 1979, protestors have stormed the American embassy, pulled down the American flag, and replaced it with the black flag of radical Islam. Thankfully, the embassy staff had been alerted to a possible disturbance and had already evacuated the embassy. This attack, however, is a breach of international law and a direct affront to American prestige and influence in Egypt. At the same time, report... Continue Reading

9/11: The Case for Controlled & Sustained Rage
Every year on the eve of 9/11, my wife and I show our older kids pictures from the day. And every year I feel a fresh sense of rage at the attack. It’s a puzzling phenomenon of politically correct American life that almost immediately our media and national leadership began a long process of emotional de-escalation, a process that continues even after eleven years of war and continual, wholesale atrocities from our enemies. While nothing could shield the families of the fallen from the pa... Continue Reading

9-11: We Must Never Forget
On this day, September 11th, our thoughts focus clearly on the tragic terrorist attacks that shook this nation on September 11, 2001. Our prayers go to the families - to the thousands of Americans - who lost loved ones that fateful day. Make no mistake about it. The attacks at Ground Zero in New York City, at the Pentagon in Washington, and over that field Shanksville, Pennsylvania deeply wounded America. But I believe something else happened, too. Those tragedies galvanized Americans - brought ... Continue Reading

Despite Atheists’ Absurd Claims, Ground Zero Cross does not Violate the Constitution
For more than a decade, the Ground Zero Cross has stood as a symbol of hope, found rising out of the rubble at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack in our nation’s history. Yet, the American Atheists actually argue in federal court that the mere “existence of the cross” is causing them “depression, headaches, anxiety, and mental pain and anguish.” The cross exists because it is was what was left of the remains of the World Trade Center after ...
