The Left Would Prosecute Trump for Acts He Never Committed, But Obama Did

On April 25, 2024, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of Donald J. Trump v. United States, colloquially known as the “Trump immunity case.” If the prior arguments and the legal briefs, in this case, offer any insight into what kinds of questions we should expect, the issue of whether a president can order the military assassination of his political rival for personal gain will likely arise.

Remembering a Great Senator Who Put His Nation Ahead of Politics

He was also a man of principle who always put protecting the security of the United States and standing firmly with the State of Israel ahead of partisan politics. Senator Lieberman also worked closely with many Republican senators, especially the late John McCain and Lindsey Graham, on national security matters.

To change a military: U.S. approaching a crossroads of failure or great accomplishment

The history of the U.S. military does not follow a straight line of organizational well-being or even success. Our military has been forged in battles that resulted in both successes and failures. Its most cherished victory came in our Revolutionary War, when George Washington’s bedraggled, undernourished and battered army crossed the Delaware River on a cold December night and routed the Hessian forces encamped at Trenton. That battle changed the trajectory of our Revolutionary War, which ended at Yorktown with the defeat of the mighty British Empire. It changed the course of history. We should use it as a marker for the future. We are approaching a crossroads of failure or great accomplishment.
