Worth Reading: Protect America first, Mr. Obama! By Chet Nagle, Former CIA Agent
Excerpt: Last Friday, millions of Americans from Illinois to the Delmarva Peninsula were hit by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) missile: no lights, no air conditioning, no Internet, no cellphones and no refrigerators for their insulin.

This debate is not new for either the Brits or Americans but with each new edict comes a new round of unnecessary friendly deaths at the hands of the Taliban and our new "allies", the Afghan Army and Police.

Letter to the Editor
Friends have asked me to weigh in on the Supreme Court decision re. Obamacare. I was surprised but not shocked. It is my view that the USA has been on life support for some time now. A country capable of electing an Obama in the first place does not deserve to survive. Thus, whatever the Supreme Court, or Congress, or even the voters might do now is a moot point in the long run.
Sincerely, Richard Gribbins
