In 1802, President Thomas Jefferson signed legislation authorizing the construction of the US Military Academy at West Point,NY to ensure our fledgling nation would have a professional officer corps. With the vast territorial expansion gained by the Louisiana Purchase, Jackson Purchase and...

This "knockout" phenomena needs to be dealt with vigorously. It plays into dangerous stereotypes harmful to the black community. Moreover, it's racially polarizing to the extent more and more whites will seek to avoid interaction with the black community. Just this past week, the Atlanta...

Since the end of WWII, it has been US policy to maintain a military capable of fighting two major land wars at the same time, anywhere in the world. Cutting troop strength to low levels not seen in 50 years does seem prudent given the turmoil and challenges we face today. Moreover, the US Navy...

Retired Col. Ralph Peters reaffirms what so many millions see: when America experiences weak political leadership in the Presidency, our difficulties abroad become much worse. The US will survive the Obama years, but the next administration will face the monumental task of rebuilding our...

I enjoyed the panel discussion about assimilation and multiculturalism. Ben Stein and Charles Payne were right on point.

Six days until September 11th. Many of us dread to see that day approaching. Let's hope it passes with relative calm.

Obama is sympathetic to Islam, but I am inclined to believe Obama is embarrassed by ISIS because they dishonor peaceful adherents of Islam. Obama is all about peace. He doesn't know how to deal with savage killers. Moreover, Obama thinks lawyers will defeat terrorists through the court...

What is ISIS really? An assortment of Muslim extremists dressed up like Ninja fighters in tennis shoes. ISIS is not an officially recognized standing army. ISIS is not a professional military force. ISIS is little more than than a motley crew of murderous savages in need of a good spanking...

Cheri, ISIS is not a "group of people" in need of understanding. Anyone following their reign of slaughter realizes one thing: they must be stopped by any means. Their savagery has no equal in modern times. ISIS delights in murdering innocent men, women and children. They kill by the...

I can respect opposition to war. What I cannot respect is calling the gruesome slaughter of innocent men, women and children as BS. The atrocities attributed to ISIS are well documented facts.

A ratio of three women for each man? Seems reasonable.

Cheri, we are not a nation of former slave owners. Slavery was outlawed 150 years ago.

ISIS is now holding a 26 year-old American woman hostage. The Islamic State terrorists are threatening to kill the American woman unless a ransom of $6.6 million is paid and they are also demanding the release of some fellow terrorists jailed in the West. Imagine the public outrage in the...

ISIS slaughters and slaughters and slaughters. In the most horrific way, they slaughter men, women and children. ISIS taunts the civilized world. Soon, very soon ISIS will be subjected to overwhelming military power. ISIS cannot be seen as part of the human race. When the Western Allies...

Where can we send the CNN and MSNBC producers and news reporters who constantly beat the war drums on racial unrest? As I said two weeks ago, take away the TV cameras and what happened in Ferguson isn't newsworthy. The presence of the national media stampeding into Ferguson whipped up hysteria...

Assuming there are more than 30 million black residents in the United States, 96 deaths by police shooting is a tiny number. Probably more fatalities result from turning a vending machine over on oneself. Anyone truly concerned about the plight of black males would focus on the very real...

Link: Local police involved in 400 killings per year A careful reading of the FBI report, in its entirety, would be needed as well a a full understanding of the methodolgy used to compile the numbers. Admittedly, it's increasingly difficult to trust a government which isn't transparent...

LBD, you and I know statistics can be twisted, cooked and distorted to fit just about any point of view. I have no idea if these numbers are all inclusive nor do I know the FBI's methodology in compiling these stats. USA Today is credited with publishing these stats.

I have repeatedly heard, over the last two weeks, that statistics compiled by the FBI show an average of 400 fatalities per year attributed to police shooting. Of those 400 deaths per year, 96 are black males. Again, that's an annual average of 96 black males killed by police in the United...

Translation: Yes. We are going back to Iraq. And to Syria as well. Hagel: ISIS 'beyond a terrorist group' - YouTube
