Heads probably turned as we entered the early 1900s red brick town house in Warrenton, Virginia on a warm September morning. It happened to be the headquarters of the Fauquier County Republican Committee. Its chairman, Greg Schumacher, was welcoming me along with his Democratic counterpart, Max Hall. […]
In the Middle East today, Joe Biden’s choice is between wholeheartedly supporting Israel and doing all he can to protect the innocents in Gaza. He’s trying to do both, but he is not satisfying advocates of either policy. […]
Just war theory makes the world numb to human slaughter. Dead children, and all other innocent victims, become abstractions, collateral damage. It’s almost as though the role of lone-nut mass murderers — killers who clearly have no moral justification to walk into a shopping mall or school classroom or bowling alley and start shooting — is to remind the world that lives are precious and murders equal hell.

These awards and accolades indeed boost our morale but, more importantly — exemplify our organization’s commitment to excellence in service. […]

Johnson served as vice chairman of the House Republicans Conference, and was the GOP’s fourth nominee for Speaker of the House. Many believe that the new Speaker Johnson is an extreme MAGA supporter.

Both America and Israel can’t and should never allow any of its enemies, especially weak unsophisticated ones, to launch a surprise attack killing thousands of its citizens.
