By Patrick J. Buchanan Two weeks after Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were murdered in Benghazi, Libya, the Obama administration has conceded it was an act of terrorism. The attack on the U.S. Consulate, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton now admits, was part of a broader effort by al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, working "with other violent extremists to undermine the Continue reading...
No Apologies Needed, Mitt
By Patrick J. Buchanan Mitt Romney has conceded that his thoughts, expressed at that Boca Raton, Fla., fundraiser, were "not elegantly" stated.

Has Obama Called Bibi’s Bluff?
By Patrick J. Buchanan What is Bibi Netanyahu up to?

Bush, in October 1991, went before the UN to declare that the US’s goal was now to build a “New World Order”.
