For example, just this past weekend, when a bomb exploded, injuring dozens in New York, Mayor de Blasio was quick to assert that it was an intentional act but wasn’t terrorism. After a knife-wielding attacker went on a rampage in a shopping mall, the St. Cloud, Minnesota police chief didn’t connect the attack to Islamic terrorism even though the terrorist, when approaching his victims, reportedly was asking them if they were Muslim.

I didn’t pay attention to politics very much as a kid. I remember that I liked George Bush senior. I remember the Bush v. Gore election my freshman year of high school, but it’s very vague. Nothing seems to matter as much until it was post 9/11. After that, everyone was afraid, unsure and felt […]

Northern Syria has always been the more difficult and violent section of Syria in the civil war. Aleppo and other cities have seen the most devastation. They’ve also witnessed the most fluid situation of occupants running the gamut of groups in Syria. According to Barbara Starr, who tweeted “US Special Operations Forces in Northern Syria […]

Looking back now, it was June when I concocted this odd and opportunistic socio-anthropological safari into the wilds. I was stationed at my keyboard, hungover, nursing a freshly fractured rib, and going another day in the air-condition-less heat provided by the finest digs a grad student, SOFREP writer, and freelance any-task can afford in my […]

On September 15, 2016, U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (R-TX) introduced H. Res. 871, which calls for the United States government to increase its efforts in finding 83,000 POW/MIA from around the world. The bill also asks for foreign governments to aid in the efforts to find and locate our missing and fallen service members. Rep. Johnson was a […]

According to Dolan, “intercepts near Russian territory” are “expected” and “in a word – commonplace.” He adds “aggressive behavior by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy in the Strait of Hormuz” also “is nothing new.”

Some critics, however, blame the encounters on President Obama’s foreign policy weakness, both toward Iran, with the hammering out of the Iran nuclear deal, and toward Russia, with the administration’s measured response to the 2014 illegal annexation of Crimea.

Dolan thinks, however, there’s “strategic communications” in the incidents.

https://amzn.to/2tLrC4oCBS News edited a video clip and transcript to remove former President Bill Clinton‘s comment during an interview that Hillary Clinton, now the Democratic presidential nominee, “frequently” fainted in the past. Bill Clinton sat down with CBS’s Charlie Rose on Monday to try to clear the air around questions regarding his wife’s health after she collapsed while […]

Angelo Codevilla, a former intelligence officer and former Senate Intelligence Committee staff member, said FBI Director James Comey’s “vague and evasive” comments regarding Clinton’s handling of classified information confirm that she compromised a significant number of secrets.

“Common sense, the intelligence community’s standard practice, as well as a 2014 directive, require assessing the damage done by any such compromise,” Codevilla said. “The DNI’s refusal to conduct such an assessment, even more than the FBI director’s obfuscation, shows that U.S. intelligence agencies have been reduced to mere political arms of the Democratic Party.”

Rep. Mike Pompeo, Kansas Republican and member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, wants the DNI to do a formal damage assessment.

How disingenuous. Morell and Clinton were both serving in the Obama administration during the rise of the Islamic State. We now know that the CIA was, in fact, training the rebels who ultimately joined ISIS or one of the other terrorist groups that plague the region.
Just when you think American foreign policy couldn’t possibly get any worse, we might get to see what Clinton, emboldened by interventionist enablers in the CIA and State Department, could do with unfettered executive power.

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn accused former secretary of state Colin L. Powell of writing “really mean things” in his private emails late Wednesday, after Powell’s emails were leaked online and showed him lambasting Flynn as “right-wing nutty” and a poor leader before retiring. Flynn, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s top military adviser, […]

I recently read an article titled, “Hillary Clinton Isn’t Sick. You Are.” from the Daily Beast. The article’s author basically shakes her finger at everyone for calling out Hillary on her apparent health issues. The fact that we as voters are asking questions about her health is undermining her campaign with sexism and agism. When Hillary Clinton began mapping out […]

But he didn’t narrow down the potential culprits to just other countries. American intelligence agencies are concerned about reports that foreign governments may be attempting to undermine the November 8 U.S. elections through cyber attacks, Admiral Mike Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, said on Tuesday. “We continue to be actively concerned,” Rogers […]
