Needless to say, it will be difficult to defeat ISIS as it continues to recruit young men and women to join its evil ranks while it escalates aggression to dominate the Middle East, causing hideous and repulsive butchery to humanity. The U.S. cannot take ISIS for granted because something tells me that they may already […]

I. Lary: A welcome to Mr. Netanyahu
It is unsurprising that President Obama opposes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to Congress without begging his permission, yet Israel is the only longstanding functional democracy in the Middle East and the U.S. should support it. Being born and raised an American citizen, I was taught about equal branches of government. Obama has no […]

Cal Thomas: Obama fails to take role of leader
President Theodore Roosevelt said, “Speak softly, and carry a big stick.” More than a century later, President Barack Obama speaks loudly (and incessantly) and carries a twig. Like Nero of ancient Rome, Obama fiddles, takes selfies and does Internet interviews while the world burns. Is he trying to distract himself, or us? To use a […]

R. Casimiro: Dems support unconstitutional action
The U.S. Senate continues to wrestle with vexing immigration problems, most recently over a bill to authorize spending for the Department of Homeland Security; the current spending bill expires on Feb. 27. Amendments to the bill would deny funding for President Obama’s unconstitutional amnesties, which would defer deportation for up to 5 million illegal aliens […]

Austin Bay: Obama’s Crusade reference benefits Islamic State
President Barak Obama didn’t intend to make the Battle of Yarmuk (636 A.D.) a 2015 news item. However, his bizarrely incomplete sketch of the Crusades, delivered last week at a national prayer breakfast, did just that. The president’s media defenders contend he intended to make a justifiable point: Throughout history, people have corrupted religious faith […]

The indifference of some of the German people and the press allowed the Third Reich to gain the power that Adolf Hitler used to conduct a world war and enable the Holocaust. That same indifference, being created in America by the public and the media, is allowing ISIS to continue with its own version of […]

Rich Lowry: Evil should be called by its proper name
Where is Chris Kyle when you need him? The late hero of the movie “American Sniper” made no apology for killing as many members of al-Qaida in Iraq, the precursor of ISIS, as he could get in his rifle sights. After the burning alive of a captured Jordanian pilot, who would object to Kyle, or […]

Robert Samuelson: Obama’s community-college gamble
WASHINGTON — A presidential budget is more than an expression of policy. It’s also an exercise in political brand management. It aims to project the president and his administration favorably. This is certainly true of Barack Obama’s fiscal 2016 budget, whose proposals are cast as instruments of “middle-class economics.” The government is your partner. It […]

J. Gondeck: Fight fire with fire
What is wrong with that incompetent resident of the White House? The rest of the world is trying to track down and arrest radical Islamic terrorists while that genius is letting them loose from Gitmo. If he wants to do that, he should have their heads taken off, packed in a box and send them […]

R. Prada: Just a talking head
This is in response to an Associated Press story printed in the Sun Journal on Monday, Jan. 12, with the headline “Millions rally for unity; More than 40 world leaders show support,” referring to the rally in Paris, France, after the shooting incidents at Charlie Hebdo and a supermarket. President Obama did not go because […]
