First of all, did you even hear about the explosive device planted and detonated outside the Alabama Attorney General's office back in February? The 'news' media offered some perfunctory coverage at the time, but consider the circumstances and context: Just a few days prior, the state's Supreme Court had issued a highly controversial ruling involving frozen embryos, with possible implications for in vitro fertilization. The subsequent uproar garnered national attention, as many journalists were eager to jump all over a story they perceived as politically beneficial to both their preferred political party, and to their unlimited abortion agenda. The GOP-controlled...

Democrats want an open border to “build their census,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily, detailing the fight between Republicans and Democrats on the issue of border security. Democrats in the Senate this week rejected the Laken Riley Act, and the White House has rejected it as well, urging Republicans to instead get on board with the highly flawed Senate immigration. When asked by host Mike Slater why Democrats are opposing these legitimate efforts to secure the border and export criminal illegal aliens out of the country, Marshall said Democrats are actually trying to...

I believe the war in Ukraine is not something The West should stake its future on. Hitler lost his chance to hold on to his immoral gains when he attacked Russia. All the western resources sucked into Ukraine are resources that cannot be used on America's southern border, in Taiwan, around Indonesia's Natuna Island or in Darwin or at the Pine Gap base in Central Australia. It is a worry if 62% of registered Republicans will vote for the World War Three triggering possibility of over-tough responses to Putin's excesses.

"Mike" Device is Tested The first fusion bomb was tested by the United States in Operation Ivy on November 1, 1952, on Elugelab Island in the Enewatak Atoll of the Marshall Islands. Scientists had to work faster and harder in order the meet the short deadline to complete the weapon, but their work paid off when "Mike" was successfully completed on the target date. "Mike" used the Teller-Ulam configuration, liquid deuterium as its fusion fuel and a large fission weapon as its trigger. The device was strictly an experimental, prototype design and not a deliverable weapon: standing over 20 ft....

Donald Trump should declare Marshall Law in the 4 or 6 states where there is convincing proof that election cheating resulted in the theft of Trump's victory in those states. The declaration should include the military conducting a new election in each of those 4 or 6 states with the goal of restoring integrity to our 2020 Presidential selection. If Trump doesn't declare Marshall Law, history will not record this huge crime against our Republic. History will just record that Joe Biden won while Donald Trump made frivolous accusations. Marshall Law will get everybody's attention with a warning for domestic...

Former GOP senator and 1996 presidential nominee Bob Dole, 96, endorsed Rep. Roger Marshall for Senate as the GOP establishment coalesced around the congressman following Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's decision not to run this year. The endorsement of Dole, 96, came a week after Pompeo, a former Kansas congressman, told Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that he planned to continue in President Trump's cabinet. McConnell and his leadership deputies recruited Pompeo in a bid to block Kris Kobach from the nomination, worrying the immigration hawk was too provocative to win a general election in otherwise deep-red Kansas. With Pompeo...

Mandt also said he was not sure if a petition that circulated earlier in the year had anything to do with Sodexo's decision, but at the start of a meeting he had with Sodexo, a new regional manager said they had "political and contractual differences."

"It is the greatest success in the history of American foreign policy," Mark Stoler, editor of the George C. Marshall Papers in Lexington, Va. "And it plays to the best American instincts — helping those in need. "In the process, it clearly turned America into the world's superpower. It was the key component of American Cold War strategy. And it was an immediate psychological booster shot to Europe. Marshall's message was: 'Here is a lifeline that you can take advantage of. America is going to be the leader here and accept that mantel of leadership.'" Georges Bidault, France's prime minister...
