Secure Our Borders Campaign

February 21, 2006

I reviewed a blood pressure-raising book for Townhall.com called Whatever It Takes: Illegal Immigration, Border Security, And the War on Terror. Congressman J.D.

Condi vs. Hillary?

December 7, 2005

I don’t think it’ll happen, but Dick Morris has high hopes for Dr. Rice. Would Americans elect a woman for president of the United States? If the two candidates were women, they obviously would.

Unofficial survey: I’d like to know what you think of Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s thesis. Please feel free to comment and don’t hold back!

Our Own Worst Enemies

December 3, 2003

A book written with truth, wisdom and insight shouldn’t be revolutionary. Unfortunately, reporting facts about black America can be downright subversive. In his new book, SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson (“the other Jesse”) tells it like it is. Rev. Peterson is the founder and president of the successful [...]
