The U.S. House is expected to vote this week on one of the most important nuclear weapons accords in history. I will vote against this deal because it jeopardizes the security of America and the world. Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism and has a clear history of cheating on international arms inspections. […]

Do people truly understand the power of the middle class? I think they’re starting to overseas. We may not have invented the concept of a middle class, but we perfected it and everyone wants to emulate it.

To appreciate one reason why Donald Trump is thumping Jeb! in the polls, substitute a question mark for the exclamation point. Jeb? isn’t doing so well at persuading people that what they think they heard isn’t what he meant to say. It doesn’t take a degree in psychology to know that someone’s first, unguarded remark […]

Political opportunists and wannabes worldwide are working their mouths and typing fingers overtime this week, trying to turn American public opinion against the Iran nuclear deal in hopes Congress refuses to approve it this summer. And they’re not all seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination either — not yet anyway. In fact, the leader of […]
