A Visit to the National September 11th Museum

Premature Blame for Boston

As the Boston Marathon Bombing is being investigated, many people are looking to assess blame before we know the identity of the perpetrator(s).

Let me be the one to express that we must be patient and let the investigation work its way through before we prematurely blame anyone. Sadly, there are some on the left, and in the media, not willing to follow this, hoping for and placing blame on domestic, right wing sources; making connections to tax day (the day the bombing took place) the bombing of the Murra Building in Oklahoma City, which occurred on April 19, 1995, as well as the TEA Party, which has consistently been a source of ridicule and false accusations among those in the Obama Administration. Sadly, this act of attempting to assess blame goes all the way to the top and is clearly nothing more than the Rahm Emanuel, Saul Alinsky way of diverting the discussion and taking political advantage of the situation. People died in the Back Bay section of Boston that day and to take political advantage of those dead and those wounded is a travesty!

As I previously said, we must assume the worst before we can hope for the best in order to protect against future attacks. But in the meantime, we must be patient, let the investigation take its course, analyze every bit of evidence from this case (and there already seems to be a lot) and be vigilant of those trying to hide information or take political advantage of the situation. It is the honorable thing to do not only for Americans so they can get answers, but for those who were killed or wounded on Monday.

Thoughts on the Patriots Day Bombing

Every year on the third Monday in Massachusetts, Patriots Day is celebrated, which signifies the Revolutionary War Battles of Lexington and Concord; the battles that opened the American Revolution. What has become tradition in recent years in the running of the Boston Marathon on Patriots’ Day. Yesterday’s running, unfortunately, will forever be known for the fact that two bombs went off along Boylston Street in Boston; close to the finish line of the marathon and at about the time when most of the runners were completing the race.

I Stand with Rand: The Filibuster

It has been quite a newsworthy day in Washington DC today! Thinking they were facing a storm that would bring them lots of snow, they are now facing a storm of discontent, thanks to the Rand Paul filibuster!

Hill to The Hill

The day finally arrived last Wednesday. After weeks of delay, due to health reasons, Hillary Clinton testified on Capitol Hill about Benghazi; just as her term as Secretary of State comes to a close.

Thoughts on Zero Dark Thirty

Last night, I saw the film that has been the focus of discussion, for months, in American political circles: Zero Dark Thirty. If you haven't seen it yet, here is the trailer:

Janeane Garfalo Attacks Joel Surnow and 24

I honestly get a nails on a chalkboard cringe whenever I hear Janeane Garafalo speak, and today, it happened again.

Mohammed Morsi: The New Pharaoh?

If I remember correctly, I reminded you all to watch out for the 3rd Government in the Egyptian revolution, as it seems my prediction is coming true. With new Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi firmly in power, after his election, he granted himself additional powers, causing many, especially in the judiciary, to criticize this grab and incite the strongest opposition since the Muslim Brotherhood supported party took power.

SecDef John Kerry: NEVER FORGET His 'Greatest Hits'

Breaking on Drudge now, Massachusetts Senator and 2004 loser, John Kerry, is being considered for the Secretary of Defense.

The David Petraeus Resignation: A Theory

Big news out of Washington DC today - retired General David Petraeus, Director of the CIA since April 2011, has resigned his post, citing an extra-marital affair. Considering the track record and behavior of past politicians in Washington and the ability to stay in their jobs, this whole thing seems rather fishy to me.

Benghazi: Two Months Later

Since September 11, 2012, Americans have been trying to understand and unravel what had actually gone on that day the American Consulate in Benghazi was attacked and four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed.

Biden vs. Ryan: An Analysis

Well, that was quite interesting. Tonight was the Vice-Presidential Debate and after watching it, Paul Ryan showed his intense knowledge and ability to articulate it, however, he was up against a combative Vice President in Joe Biden and an unfair moderator in Martha Raddatz; doing his best against a setting greatly stacked against him.

Random Act of Journalism by Lara Logan

CBS, the (former) home of Dan Rather, the home of the Killian Documents fraud, a member of the "mainstream media" practiced a random act of journalism a couple of weeks ago. Foreign correspondent, Lara Logan, did a very telling story on Afghanistan, which aired on the September 30th edition of 60 Minutes.

Bibi at the UN

It is UN week in New York City, which means to regular New Yorkers, lots of traffic and a heavy police presence; both on the ground and in the air. Today at the UN General Assembly was the most awaited speech: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
