On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists raided an outdoor concert, villages, and homes across Israel, purposely, violently, and savagely seeking out and attacking innocents. Concert-goers. Mothers. Daughters. Children. Some they raped. Some they murdered. Some women were raped, then murdered. Babies were beheaded. Funded by Iran, those terrorists launched that barbarous attack without warning. Without provocation. Those terrorists targeted innocents to send a message. Worse, they purposefully targeted women and children. Why? Because Hamas — and Iran and their ilk — actually do want to rule over everything from the “river to the sea.”  On this third anniversary, it’s vitally important that we recall this savagery.

Except in times of war or other external threats the economy is the top concern of the American electorate. Issues such as that over constructing a White House ballroom are merely a sideshow to the economic well-being of the average voter. President George H.W. Bush initially saw his popularity soar to record heights after leading a coalition of nations in the Persian Gulf War against Iraq. At home,

Let’s be Frank – Can we get real for a second? Something happened this week that we Americans should not overlook. On September 29, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a lengthy open letter addressed directly to the American people. Coming just weeks before the November 3 midterm elections, the IRGC urged Americans to reject the policies of President Trump and his congressional allies. Whatever one’s politics, stop and think about that for a moment. An arm of the Iranian government is now openly appealing to American voters during an American election cycle. That caught my attention—not primarily as a former elected official, but as a retired Marine Reserve Colonel. During my years in the Marine Corps Reserve, I
