LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Illegal aliens are lawbreakers, not ‘migrants’
The manufactured conflagration on our southern border and resultant humanitarian crisis finds the Obama-led Democratic Party expecting Americans to believe that the nation that won World War II, put a man on the moon and survived Jimmy Carter can't secure its own border or national sovereignty. Published August 7, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ‘Mayor for life,’ with impunity
While it is true that the American political landscape is chock full of colorful characters — some lovable scoundrels, others not so much — perhaps no one fits this category better than our own local "mayor for life," Marion Barry. Published August 6, 2014
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Israel protesters ignore history, geography

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hamas’ self-made predicament
To those who are offended by pictures of casualties in Gaza, I would remind you that the terrorist organization Hamas has set up armed camps, stored rockets and weapons amid civilians, and uses the media to provoke outcries from free-world nations in favor of its self-made, dire predicament.

EDITORIAL: Restraining the spies
Edward Snowden threw quite a wrench into the schemes of America's cloak-and-dagger corps. The spies still aren't accustomed to the new reality. Published August 4, 2014
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Stop expecting rescues from North Korea
