D-Day + 70 Years
These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war.
Gentlemen, I look at you and I think of the words of Stephen Spender’s poem. You are men who in your “lives fought for life…and left the vivid air signed with your honor.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Five more foot soldiers are headed back to the front lines of the real war on women thanks to President Obama. Abdul Haq Wasiq was a deputy minister of intelligence for the Taliban and helped Al Qaeda. He has been accused of murder and torture.
Mullah Norullah Noori was a military commander for the Taliban. He fought American forces in Afghanistan and, according to Fox News, “Noori has been implicated in the murder of thousands of Shiites in northern Afghanistan.” Noori said the killings were necessary as the Taliban worked to create their “ideal state.”
Mullah Mohammad Fazi is the Taliban’s former deputy defense minister. He commanded a division of the Taliban’s army and serve as the Chief of Staff to the Taliban Army. He maintained ties with various terrorist groups and coordinated with them.
Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa is the former governor of Herat province. We know he represented the Taliban in meetings with Iranians and had close times to Osama Bin Laden. The government is also pretty certain he trafficked in opium in addition to maintaining a terror training camp in Afghanistan.
Mohammad Nabi Omari smuggled weapons for the Taliban and possibly Al Qaeda. He maintained close ties to the Taliban’s leadership in Afghanistan and with local terror networks.
For all the Democrats’ shrill rhetoric against Republicans being engaged in a “war on women,” these men really were. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

He now works for the Department of Housing and Urban Development as the Secretary for Public Affairs.
Friedman has taken to twitter to call the soldiers who served with Bergdahl “psychopaths” for daring to be critical of Bergdahl. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Thad Cochran and What is Wrong with Politics
Let’s put aside ideology for a moment and ignore the fact that there is not a single conservative bone in Thad Cochran’s body. What is more disturbing is that he clearly has not been able to effectively represent Mississippi for quite some time, and certainly will not serve as a vibrant voice for another six years. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
NIH accused of hiding life and health risks in medical research
Medical research on human subjects it is an area of science that is fraught with ethical peril. Patients must be fully informed of all benefits and risks through a process of informed consent. But all human subjects are not alike. An educated person suffering from a relatively mild condition can probably make a solid choice for their own treatment. A person with a life threatening disease will often grasp at straws. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
