My article at Canada Free Press. As the uproar soars over taxpayer bailout dollars paying bonuses at AIG, last week, Sanford “Sandy” Weill, the former Chairman and CEO of Citigroup Inc. penned a fawning op-ed to the Obama Administration in Business Week entitled, “Obama’s Tax Plan Will Hurt Non-Profits.” Weill wrote: “Given [Obama’s] popularity, the best thing we have going for us is President Barack Obama.... 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.

Behind the jubilation of the victorious Obama-Biden White House win, the reality of governing during these precarious times is now at hand. Although President–elect Barack Obama declined to answer a question about Iran at his first press conference, citing the one President at-a-time policy; using the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Plan’s Iraq policy as an indicator, there is reason for concern.

There are two Senator Barack Obama’s running for President. There’s the hawk and then there’s an ardent internationalist world-appeaser model. As the hawk, Obama likes to brandish his foreign policy credentials by wielding as proof the Lugar-Obama proliferation and threat reduction initiative.
