The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency reports that in the past year more Americans have died from drug overdoses than were killed in motor vehicle accidents. Much of the illegal drugs come through America’s southern border with Mexico, largely through border areas not protected by walls or barriers. The January issue of the Judicial Watch “Verdict” […]

Democrats jeopardize national security
In their zeal to oppose anything that President Donald Trump tries to accomplish, Democratic leaders, from Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi on down, are seriously damaging America’s national security. They are doing that by refusing to go along with any increases in the defense budget without corresponding increases in their pet give-away social […]
Whose health care plan is better?
I would like to know who is telling the truth about the Obamacare (ACA) plan and the Trumpcare (AHCA) plan. I read that millions of people have been priced out of the ACA plan due to huge price increases and deductibles so high as to be useless to average people. Democrats claim that millions of […]
Build the wall
The March 2017 issue of Judicial Watch’s pamphlet “Verdict” includes the following statements: “… Earlier this year, Judicial Watch obtained State Department documents showing that for more than a decade the U.S. government has known that ‘Arab extremists’ are entering the country through Mexico … classified as Special Interest Aliens (SIA). … Once in the […]
Humans at fault for climate change?
The Sun Journal has an intriguing article about Antarctica’s melting ice pack (Feb. 23). That article claimed that between 23 and 14 million years ago, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations were believed to be about 500 parts per million or higher — some 20 percent higher than the 400 ppm today. I don’t believe humans living […]
Democrats don’t care about citizen safety
“Sanctuary cities protect dangerous illegal alien criminals” was the title of an article in the September 2015 Judicial Watch “Verdict.” The nonprofit, non-partisan Judicial Watch, through a series of Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, obtained the following statistics from the Obama Administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office: During 2013, the Obama Immigration and Customs and […]
R. Grover: Is U.S. democracy in jeopardy?
The Obama administration is making a shambles of people’s constitutional rights. The non-partisan group Judicial Watch, through a series of lawsuits citing the Freedom of Information Act, has received numerous emails and other correspondence between Lois Lerner, formerly an Internal Revenue Service official, and high level Justice Department officials. These communications, heavily redacted (censored, with […]
R. Grover: When will there be a strategy?
With ISIS growing in strength, numbers and territory and Russia’s Vladimir Putin deploying men and tanks into Ukraine, President Obama dithers, seemingly unable or unwilling to make a decision — any decision. The beheading of an American news correspondent a week or so ago prompted other top U.S. officials to state that ISIS constitutes a […]
R. Grover: Sharing the burden
There is an Aesop’s Fable about a horse, a donkey and a burdensome load. The donkey is carrying the whole load and asks the horse to help by carrying some of the load because he is getting weary and faint. The horse refuses to help and the donkey dies. The owner then makes the horse […]
R. Grover: Military budget cut to shreds
Before the 2012 election, I was “afraid.” Now, I am discouraged. Not only are the president and his fellow Democrats refusing to cut or reduce spending on entitlements (Obamacare and a seemingly endless list of “stimulus” spending), Republicans, stung by the effort to force spending cuts and the resulting drubbing at the polls after the […]
