This is not a surprise for those who have been watching Iran's actions and actually taking them at their word when they say such things like "Death to America" while sending lethal weapons into Iraq and Afghanistan, for starters. This latest move, in Iran's continued quest for hegemony in the region and beyond, will probably only be a surprise to those who thought it was possible to negotiate with the largest state sponsor of terrorism. I am afraid time will show what a mistake it was for the leaders of the free world to not have helped the Iranian ...
My latest. As diplomacy talks are set to begin today between Iran and the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany (the G5+1) to deter the Iranian regime from pursuing their nuclear weapons program, the Obama-Clinton foreign policy strategy to date appears to have strengthened Iran’s murderous regime. Last Friday, President Obama revealed that another Iranian uranium-enrichment facility is buried at an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps base near Qom. President Obama has known about this formerly secret facility since he became President-elect and was selecting his foreign policy team that would craft, as Secretary of ...
Less than 24-hours before President Obama’s scheduled Afghanistan policy announcement, Sen. John Kerry released a report entitled: “Tora Bora Revisited: How We Failed to Get Bin Laden and Why it Matters Today.” If Sen. Kerry, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relation’s report is a precursor to President Obama’s Afghanistan policy, expect a litany of Bush bashing to abundantly flow on Tuesday night. In the opening Letter of Transmittal to his colleagues, Sen. Kerry took a deliberate swipe at the Bush Administration when he wrote in part: “Our inability to finish the job in late 2001 has contributed to a ...
Obama's "Buy American" protectionism policies have forced America's long time allies to pursue business opportunities else where. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's administration inks another trade deal, this one with Jordan. Here's the official press release: Canada Introduces Implementing Legislation for Free Trade Agreement with Jordan The Honourable Gerry Ritz, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board, on behalf of the Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, today introduced legislation to implement the Canada-Jordan free trade agreement (FTA) and related agreements on labour cooperation and the environment. “Farmers know that ...
My first article at Tucker Carlson’s new The Daily Caller. Last month immigration reform, one of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s “10 most important legislative priorities,” took another step forward when Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) unveiled the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009.” Over 85 house Democrats have co-sponsored his bill. Gutierrez’s... Read More
On November 2, I reported on the upcoming Teaparties Against Amnesty here. Below is a video showing violence that broke out during one of the protests. The video is from Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), the protest organizers. Read More →
Media Matters is taking credit for Lou Dobb’s abrupt resignation from CNN yesterday. Below is the text from an email the non-profit group, headed up by ex-Conservative insider, David Brock, sent out to their supporters. According to his bio, Brock “currently serves on the board of The Progressive Legislative Action Network, an organization created to support progressive state legislators.” The subject line reads:...

A preemptive strike to stop amnesty from becoming law is in the works. Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is calling on the immigration enforcement movement to team up with the Taxpayer Tea Party and 9/12 movements to hold “Tea Parties Against Amnesty” rallies across America on November 14. “We know that the honest polling data shows over three to one opposition to the Gutierrez Obama Comprehensive...

Judith Miller reports on the corruption within and the dire consequences to national security. Last year, FBI officials tell me, the Bureau worked on nearly 2,500 public corruption cases and convicted more than 700 dishonest public servants throughout the nation. Most of them were unrelated to the cartels, and Special Agent Abbott, of the FBI’s criminal branch in El Paso, says that only 15 to 30 of his region’s... Read More
Senator “Chuck” Schumer (D. N.Y.) will chair a hearing on Comprehensive Immigration Reform later today, called “Can We Do It and How?” If past is prologue, with Mr. Schumer crafting immigration reform expect amnesty and a policy that may ultimately hurt America. Why? Because Senator Schumer’s early leadership role to fix America’s immigration system arguably contributed to the broken system that afflicts... Read More
Since the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) Acting Deputy Director Michael Aytes attacked my credibility and my article, Crime and Corruption at the USCIS last January, he has not responded to my request for an interview. Story here. Meanwhile, crime and corruption is still, as it has been for years, a dangerous reality at the USCIS and a risk to national security. The USCIS, “as the “gatekeepers... Read More
On January 24 Acting Deputy Director Michael Aytes, currently the highest ranking official at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), sent a scathing letter to CFP’s editor to rebuke an article I wrote on January 21 entitled, Crime and Corruption at the UCSIS. My article cited criminal investigations like this one where “…several USCIS employees” were “accused of aiding Islamic extremists with... Read More
If Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and thirteen other senators achieve what appears to be their goal—what amounts to amnesty is coming soon. On January 6, the “Stronger Economy, Stronger Borders Act of 2009,” S. 9, was introduced as “among the legislative priorities for the new Congress.” But thus far, the content of this bill does not reflect what its bold, tough title implies. Rather, using Vermont’s... Read More
As immigrant rights activists demand immigration reform from the Obama administration, it is critical to acknowledge that concrete reform cannot be achieved as long as the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) is riddled with corruption and criminal abuse. Crime and corruption at the USCIS formerly the Immigration and Nationalization Services, (INS) is the dirty secret few politicians dare mention within... Read More
