Biden to Release Would-Be 911 Hijacker
As with Barack Obama before him, this president seems more intent on releasing jihadists than protecting the homeland.
The Bergdahl Swap Did Permanent Damage

Legacy or Bust
Last Saturday, Barack Obama gained the second jewel in his foreign policy triple crown: the Paris climate accord. It follows his Iran nuclear deal and awaits but the closing of Guantanamo to complete his glittering legacy. To be sure, Obama will not be submitting the climate agreement for Senate ratification.

And if he does close Guantánamo, it will be in defiance of overwhelming bipartisan congressional opposition.

Gitmo Extended Stay America Suites in Colorado? Hell No!
Liberal readers have scoffed at my repeated warnings about the dangerous prospect of an enemy combatant dump on American soil.
