On to the Next Major Reform by J. F. Kelly, Jr.

A commentary by J. F. Kelly, Jr.



Its massive medical care overhaul plans in tatters, the Obama administration will turn now to what’s left of its ambitious but overreaching domestic agenda. While job creation and job stabilization is what Americans need and want most now, what they are likely to get next is an attempt at a massive overhaul of immigration policy. It will probably turn out as badly as the last attempt.



Perhaps Mr. Obama and the Democratic-controlled… Continue

A typical SEAL? Think 007, not Rambo



By Chris Jansing, NBC News Correspondent



The world looks very different from 40 feet up, hanging onto a rope wall. My advice? Don’t look down.



A lot phenomenally fit people, including world-famous athletes and Olympians, have frozen at the top of the wall, which is part of the legendary obstacle course on the Navy SEAL base in Coronado, Calif. Who knew that vertigo routinely kicks in at 40 feet without a safety… Continue

A Message from Massachusetts by J. F. Kelly, Jr.

A commentary by J. F. Kelly, Jr.





President Barack Obama says that the same wave of voter anger that swept him into office, swept Massachusetts State Senator Scott Brown into the U. S. Senate. He’s partly right, of course. Voters were angry with Republicans and swept them out of Congress in 2006. Obama capitalized on that voter anger and successfully campaigned on a promise of change.



We got change alright, but not for… Continue
