The DC Foreign Policy Establishment: An Accountability-Free Zone
Yesterday, the Justice Department announced a $5 billion settlement with Goldman Sachs for its role in the financial crisis. On the one hand, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of guys. On the other hand, it’s an opportunity to consider if anyone could have fled a smoldering crater and gotten off lighter than […]
Pensions in a Load of Trouble
Pensions assume an average rate of return of 7.5%. That’s not the future we’re going to be living in, especially with a diversified portfolio. Read what Mr. Kim has to say at the end of this article and you can see how clueless leadership is about the problem. Having a front row seat to the […]
Obama on Hillary and the FBI Investigation
Recently, President Obama weighed in on the Justice Department probe of Hillary Clinton’s private server. In an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Bob Woodward commented that Mr. Obama did not just touch a hot stove, but that “he put his arms around it,” with his defense of Mrs. Clinton in the FBI’s […]

With six straight wins, one might ask why Bernie Sanders is doing so well against Hillary Clinton? Not being interviewed by the FBI might be a good place to start for an electorate sick of the status quo in Washington. Hillary’s email fiasco is the epitome of political privilege. HRC is battling not only the […]
Hillary Clinton “What Difference Does It Make?”

Chief of Staff, is calling into question claims that no help was available to the victims of the Benghazi 9/11/12 terrorist attack.

Hillary Playing Games with the FOIA?
Hillary Clinton’s biggest problem this election season is not Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump. Nor is Mrs. Clinton’s biggest problem several inspectors general, the intelligence community, or the entire Republican ecosphere colluding to turn her home-brew email system into a fake scandal.

It would be like the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry/Klay Thompson killer duo (great article by the way in the WSJ on the making of the Warriors). But whose name comes first Cruz/Trump?
