The Law Library of Congress – a non-partisan entity of the Library of Congress – has come under attack by high-ranking Congressional Democrats for a recent legal opinion on the situation in Honduras. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman (D-Calif.) are trying to politically [...]
This morning in Managua, Nicaragua there are reports that the U.S. Embassy was vandalized by supporters of the leftist Sandinistas party. Borrowing a page from the Castro-Chavez playbook for re-making Latin America in the Bolivarian image – just take a look at what they are doing over in Honduras – the Sandinista government is accusing [...]
Kudos to the constitutional government of Honduras. According to various news reports, the Brazilian government has been advised that it has ten days to decide what it intends to do with the ousted Honduran president that has sought shelter in the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa or face expulsion of the Brazilian Ambassador from [...]

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 [...]
In a masterful political move, the new Honduran government withdrew from the OAS this weekend and its leaders told the OAS Secretary General that they thought he was in Honduras to deliver the impeached President for arrest. Obama officials are reportedly seething and looking for a way out of this political crisis that they, [...]
It is difficult for most of us who have never lived under the yoke of communism, or lived in fear of it, to make sense at what has transpired in Honduras during the past several months. There is a lot more at stake in tiny Honduras than democracy and rule of law. [...]
The Obama Administration yesterday was quick to call the events in Honduras a coup. What has gone underreported, or not reported at all in the media or recognized by the Obama Administration, is that the democratically-elected Congress unanimously approved the change in leadership and subsequent impeachment of the former Honduran President. If this [...]
Nicaragua’s newspaper La Prensa reports this morning that the U.S. has frozen a foreign assistance program to Nicaragua funded by U.S. taxpayers through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). Kudos to the MCC CEO, Ambassador John Danilovich, for moving swiftly to protect U.S. taxpayer monies and, in the process, send a clear message to [...]
A new chapter in a once promising story for Central American democracy is being written in the streets of Managua. Faced with possible defeats at the ballot box, it appears as if elements of the Sandinista Party have devolved to their old, Cold War ways.
In an speech before a Joint Session [...]
It appears as if elements of the leftist Sandinista Party of Nicaragua are back to their old, Cold War ways. Sandinista supporters donning masks and wielding weapons attacked the opposition leader yesterday while he was on his way to greet opposition supporters.
The violence stems from alleged wide-spread electoral fraud during last week’s election [...]
A leading, yet elusive figure of El Salvador’s primary political opposition party has come under legal and political scrutiny in his country for allegedly offering to sell weapons and arrange business deals with Latin America’s largest home-grown terrorist organization, the Colombian FARC-People’s Army. If this link is confirmed, the impact of this finding goes well beyond [...]
