The only language Iran or any other rogue country will understand is military strength and willingness to use it. I hope this administration can learn that lesson quickly.

The U.S. and its allies could cut off all trade with Russia in response to their invasion, hoping to cripple them economically. However, one Russian official made a comment that the West talks and talks and then does nothing. Because of our weak leadership, Putin sees an opportunity to rebuild the Soviet Union to a…

Of course, peace would be nice, and I personally pray for peace in Israel, but how can Netanyahu trust America to force any peace agreement when he looks around and sees what has happened in Syria, other countries in the Middle East, and now with Russia? Obama's "line in the sand" does not mean anything…

Rubio's response was excellent when he said that if Cuba is so great then why aren't boatloads of Americans risking all to get there. Unfortunately, there are some in our own government who would like to see the USA follow Cuba into total socialism where the government owns everything, including healthcare. Maybe when that happens, there…

Frankly, it would not bother me if they completely did away with the NFL since I am not the least bit interested. I enjoy college sports, both in football and basketball. After that it just goes downhill for me. These grown men should have learned to be respectful by that time and not use racial…

I would bring our POW's home even if it means releasing some of the prisoners. These brave men are someone's sons, husbands, fathers, brothers and friends. The US could then close its borders and make it extremely tough for anyone to enter the country----which is what should have happened in the first place. There…

Ronald Reagan was the epitome of an optimist, not a pessimist. He made me feel proud to be an American and caused me to believe that our best days were ahead. Of all the presidents I remember, he elevated women the most, especially his own wife whom he adored and deeply respected. He walked alongside,…

It amazes me how people such as Mr. Kerry can think so highly of mankind and believe he is so powerful that he can change the climate. Well, the truth of the matter is that climate change has been going on for thousands of years, and it will continue to go on regardless of what…

Holding non-partisan elections will encourage candidates to speak their minds, not being so accountable to any particular political party. It would be especially good for more women to run for local offices, especially for the school board. From my experience as a school teacher, I believe women (mothers) are much closer to school situations because…

Raising the minimum wage will cause businesses to cut back on hiring and probably raise prices as well. Minimum wage jobs were never meant to provide a totally livable income for workers just as social security was not meant to do for retirees. I see nothing but a negative effect on the economy as a…
