Egregious killers are dominating the world. President Obama ordered U.S. warplanes to Iraq to provide air support for refugees desperately trying to escape to a safe haven, avoiding being victimized by that cancer of evilness, ISIS. A two-star general was assassinated in Afghanistan, but Obama devotes all his attention to a young black man killed […]

M.J. Newell: Obama’s foreign policy a travesty
I am ashamed of my country and of President Obama. Appointing John Kerry as secretary of state was an insult to every veteran in this country. Obama has insulted U.S. allies and has denounced Israel for defending itself against terrorists. Hamas has been firing rockets into Israel for years, yet when Israel fights back, they […]

Charles Krauthammer: Amnesty used as impeachment bait
WASHINGTON — President Obama is impatient. Congress won’t act on immigration, he says, and therefore he will. The White House is coy as to exactly what the president will do. But the leaks point to an executive order essentially legalizing an enormous new class of illegal immigrants, perhaps up to 5 million people. One doesn’t […]

Rich Lowry: Obama should try for at least a little less pettiness
“Stop just hatin’ all the time.” If you haven’t been following the news, you might not know whether this bon mot was uttered by a character on the ABC Family show “Pretty Little Liars” or by the president of the United States. Of course, it was the leader of the free world at a Kansas […]

H. Kenney: What could he do?
In his letter (July 22), Cornelius Swanton correctly stated that President George W. Bush asked for and received support from Congress for the U.S. involvement in Iraq. Swanton also stated “all available intelligence indicated that Iraq possessed WMDs.” But there were no WMDs in Iraq. It was flawed intelligence. To date, both wars (Iraq and […]

Rich Lowry: Obama’s policies brought about immigration disaster
As a defender of the nation’s borders, President Barack Obama is a hell of a pool player. The president enjoyed a game at a bar in Denver with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper the other day, without the noir atmosphere of his furtive visits to pool halls with his grandfather as a kid, when he felt […]

P. Roy: Glad to vote Democratic
This is in response to the letter from Rolande Caron (June 10). The U.S.A. has been trading prisoners since the Civil War. They have to release all prisoners at the end of the year anyway. I believe that leaving no enlisted person behind is a great idea. I would not like to be left behind. […]

C. Bouchles: Republicans must win
This is in response to Bill Sullivan’s letter (June 14). I, too, can hardly wait for January 2017, and I agree with everything said about President Obama. But he should be careful of what he prays for, because Hillary Clinton is waiting in the wings and I believe she knows less than Obama. Hopefully the […]

R. Caron: Biggest mistake Obama has made
What was the president thinking, swapping five Taliban prisoners for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl? I have been an Obama fan from way before he became the president. And many were stunned that he became President Obama, the first biracial president. Many people have wanted to have him impeached. There was the birth certificate question, Obamacare and […]

Charles Krauthammer: A very small speech at West Point
WASHINGTON — It is fitting that the day before President Obama gives his grand West Point address defending the wisdom and prudence of his foreign policy, his government should be urging Americans to evacuate Libya. Libya, of course, was once the model Obama intervention — the exquisitely calibrated military engagement wrapped in the rhetorical extravagance […]
