On Mumbai - What We Know So Far

By Gabe Suarez In 2001 the USA had the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. It has become vogue to call it the 9/11 Tragedy, as if it was a hurricane or an earthquake, but it was not. It was an act done by men, evil men. A few years later, both Spain and England faced similar events. And now India. I am not so schooled in geo-politics to try to draw strategic significance here. All I can...

The Media Never Changes (The Plaxico Burress Story)

By Gerard Valentino The sporting world is up in arms over the recent accidental self-inflicted shooting of New York Giants star Plaxico Burress.

By Alan Gottlieb and Dave Workman From the prospect of an incoming president and vice president with decidedly anti-gun-rights voting records, to a liberal West Coast mayor determined to ban firearms by “executive order” without benefit of city council or legislative review, American gun owners have good reason to doubt the sincerity of Liberal Democrats now in control of Congress and soon to...
