Obama Distances Himself From Blacks: Is There a Cost?
By Ron Walters-Guest Columnist- Is There a Cost? Just back from the Rainbow Push convention in Chicago sponsored by Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., I was struck by the fact that neither Barack nor Michelle Obama showed up and they live virtually right down the street.

The “Save Darfur” Roadshow and Ruse
WILLIAM.REED -Guest Columnist- The deception started with allegations of “slavery in Sudan.” Well-intended schoolchildren held bake sales and washed cars in order to “buy back a slave.” Over the past decade, such subterfuge morphed into an American declaration that “genocide was being carried out in Darfur.” All a pretext.

So, none of uswho are the...
Israel: No Friend of Obama
Why should the Israelis expect any sane and rational human being to believe that their barbaric attack on Gaza and the indiscriminate slaughter of defenseless and helpless civilians including men, women, the elderly, and children can be justified? Why did not the Israelis wait until a new president, who is about to take office on a platform of...
