Hillary Clinton is not known for her sincerity and forthrightness. In fact, a poll conducted last September by Suffolk University/USA Today demonstrated that more than one in five voters associate some term of deceitfulness with Clinton, including “liar,” “dishonest,” “untrustworthy,” and “fake.” This followed an earlier Quinnipiac University poll that found, “’Liar’ is the first word that comes...

Recently, P.G. Sittenfeld, a Cincinnati City Councilman who is running for the Democratic nomination to U.S. Senate against former Governor Ted Strickland on a platform of gun control, staged a last-ditch effort to gain publicity for his underdog campaign by calling for a constitutional amendment to repeal Ohio's preemption law which prohibits cities from enacting laws that are more strict than...

Court Decision, Drug Lord’s Capture Illustrate Ongoing Fallout of Operation Fast & Furious

7:00am Friday, February 05, 2016
A sharp memory and respect for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms go hand in hand. The Second Amendment, after all, was written by those who had only recently fought their way to independence from a tyrannical monarchy that had ceased to recognize American colonists’ basic human and legal rights.
