Recent accounts attacking Israel for action taken toward “humanitarian activists,” as they like to call them, have been all but factual. Israel has been victimized by anti-Semitic activists sent to “break” the barrier for the passage of weapons (likely originating from Iran) to the Gaza strip. With outside help, these terrorist groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah, have been able to launch attacks on innocent Israeli | Read More »
Tehran has been taking lessons from Saddam’s old playbook. AP reported, “UN nuclear inspectors revisiting an Iranian laboratory suspected of involvement in a nuclear weapons program discovered that equipment has been removed, diplomats said Friday.” The IAEA discovered that Iran has been running pyroprocessing experiments. This process purifies uranium metal for use in nuclear warheads. While Iran is claiming they backed off experiments back in | Read More »
The FDA recently made the decision they are going to regulate what we eat.

Recently, under direction of President Obama, there were recommendations made by the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, on a variety of issues. One of which just happened to be Global Warming. According to the report, “The charge from President Barack Obama to the President’s Advisory Council on Faith- Based and Neighborhood Partnerships is, in part, to focus on how those partnerships can | Read More »
The United States of America is the greatest nation on earth. Unfortunately, the left does not recognize that. In the name of their so-called “human” and “civil” rights they are on the verge of granting amnesty to some 13 million illegal aliens; essentially ceding American sovereignty to the rest of the world. America takes pride in our ability to be a free and diverse people | Read More »
I read an interesting article on the American Thinker where the author showed an interesting theme from this C&T bill. The entire purpose of C&T is to put a cap on CO2 emissions. “Presently, 40 percent of CO2 emissions in the United States are derived from electricity generation, 35 percent from transportation, and 25 percent from business, industry, and natural gas to heat homes.” The | Read More »

The numerous media reports from this past weekend seem to be more about minimizing the political damage than about reporting the real implications. Repeatedly from the likes of Janet Napolitano, twice referring to it as a “one-off attack” to NY Senator Chuck Schumer stating it was a “lone wolf” attack to NYC Mayor Bloomberg speculating that the attacker could be a mentally deranged person upset | Read More »

By Dave Funk, Congressional Candidate Iowa-03 and Steve Schultz, Political Consultant It really is that simple. Right now President Obama and Senate Democrats plan to fix the environment via cap and trade (C&T). Well, C&T is not nearly as “honorable” as the left makes it out to be. The economic crises we are now experiencing is largely due to the irresponsible use of mortgage-backed securities. | Read More »
Yet another example of the left’s promised transparency. Senators Liebermann, Kerry and Graham have taken the Obama Energy Tax Bill and skipped taking it to a committee and handed it over to Senator Reid so when he deems the time is right, Reid can ram it down our throats and take more of our hard earned money. The promises of transparency are being disregarded on | Read More »
I applaud President Obama’s push for conservation but I am discouraged by those put in place to execute. This push for conservation is called America’s Great Outdoors Initiative which was signed this month on the 16th. It’s the largest land bill initiative since the days of FDR. Good stewardship of our land is vital. While I disregard all notions of man-made global warming, the hunter | Read More »
We’ve been reading more and more lately, and I’ve even written about it, regarding the Iranian threat pending worldwide.

This tyrant has blatantly | Read More »

On the issues page of my campaign web site, I make the following statement; “The world is ruled by the aggressive use of force. Appeasement never works. It didn’t work on the playground when we were kids and it doesn’t work in the real world; 9/11 proved that to all of us. It’s time that Congress holds the Administration and State Department accountable for failed | Read More »
Cap and trade is not that complicated. Recently Ag Secretary Vilsack has been out promoting cap and trade and touting its benefits to farmers. Well, let’s look at these benefits that Sec. Vilsack is selling to the American people. Sec. Vilsack is selling this terrible legislation by pointing out the money farmers can make from planting trees which is considered a “carbon offset.” Therefore, during | Read More »
Drill here- drill now has been my mantra for a long time, to help break our dependence on the world for energy. Simultaneously, we need nuclear power. For 50 years the US Navy has safely sailed around the world on nuclear power and it’s time for us to bring that technology ashore. Bill Gates, along with Toshiba, are in the process of developing a small nuclear | Read More »
By Doug Mitchell A week ago Sunday there were actually two things going on. First, the demise of our healthcare system that 57% of Americans were against. Second, allegedly tens of thousands of immigrants rallied for amnesty in Washington. I’ve heard many people lately asking how the Democrats can have the audacity to act against the American people and still expect to stay in office. | Read More »

Collins basically says that in order for a company to succeed they must have core | Read More »
Leonard Boswell and the Democrats in Washington have force fed the American people more unconstitutional legislation that is bad for Iowa. This takeover of our health insurance system is unconstitutional and infringes on the rights of citizens by mandating the purchase of a service. This legislation as been pushed through behind closed doors and it violates the public trust of each and every citizen, who deserves the | Read More »
It really was only a matter of time. Thanks to an agreement the Carter administration recognized during his Presidency, Cuba has partnered with Russia to build oil derricks in the Gulf of Mexico. That’s right. The left has spent so much time pushing green energy subsidies the Russians have now penetrated the Western hemisphere to take oil that rightfully, should already be ours. It comes | Read More »
