The Democrats are spinning this morning that Congressman Paul Ryan will not be in Florida today because of his stance on Medicare. Is that the best they can do?
In Congressman Paul Ryan we finally have someone running for national office who can explain, in plain English, why we must make tough choices [...]
A political feeding frenzy is about to begin and it may seem like the Democrats are steps ahead. The Republicans, however, may be handed what amounts to rhetorical manna: frank talk.It is now very clear, for any one who cares to see it, that what was supposed to be a budget deal last week was [...]
Last week, a virtual Obama issued a statement on export controls reform during an annual export controls federal government confab hosted by the Department of Commerce. The praise flowed: “a strong first step” said the Business Roundtable, “undoubtedly welcome” penned Ars Technica, and the National Foreign Trade Council said [...]
The Australian newspaper reported earlier this week that the Australian government has blocked several shipments of controlled items including water pumps used to cool nuclear reactors. Ominously titled “Kevin Rudd’s secret war on Iran,” the reporter who penned the article asks readers to contact them if they have had exports blocked by the [...]
“Obama’s Latin America team, especially NSC officials, have zealously made de-Bushification a priority in Western Hemisphere Affairs…”
The very targeted changes to U.S.-Cuba sanctions regulations announced late yesterday will allow for increased travel by Cuban-Americans to Cuba, more remittances, and travel by U.S. persons employed by telecommunications and agriculture companies. The amendment to the [...]
A little over six months in the Obama Administration and his advisers have positioned the President as the quintessential “Ugly American” in Latin America. Recent moves to punish Honduran democracy will hurt U.S. economic and strategic interests in Honduras and Central America. It will also serve to further fuel a rabid anti-American populism whose sole [...]
A majority of American taxpayers do not know how their hard-earned tax dollars are spent by Washington, much less the specific programs and initiatives that are launched by policymakers in Washington, DC and around the world using U.S. monies. If our government was more transparent, I suspect that more people would pay closer attention to these [...]
When I read last week that President Barack Obama told Republican leaders ‘I won’, in response to Republican opposition to a government-growing stimulus bill, I thought of bees. You see, there is nothing more menacing to a 10,ooo pound elephant than the sound of angry bees. The pachyderm is known to run to avoid [...]
A few weeks ago the elves at the Export Law Blog (“ELB”) posted a special Christmas message, How the OFAC Stole Christmas. For readers from outside of Washington, DC, the somewhat humorous post is a jab at U.S. laws and regulations restricting trade with state sponsor of terror Cuba. Other than this annual Cuba [...]
The seemingly never-ending obsession with U.S.-Cuba policy is reaching a fever pitch. With Democratic control of both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue for the first time in decades, the pro-Castro camp is salivating at the thought of normalizing relations with the Communist government of the only designated state sponsor of terrorism in the Western Hemisphere. They should be [...]
“The core of this effort is fueled primarily by Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and Communist Cuba. This Lernaean Hydra also breathes its ideological poison with fellow travelers in Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and political parties and business interests throughout Latin America and the Caribbean…”
The incoming Obama-Biden Administration has been making the perfunctory statement that it [...]
Barack Obama and Joe Biden made history yesterday. There is no doubt that the Democratic wins have changed the political landscape. At least from a perception viewpoint, our country has ideologically “changed.” But you really need to dig a little deeper.
The Obama-Biden win was no landslide, far from it. While the Democrats won some new seats in [...]
