Millions Defraud Federal Phone Subsidy Program

Millions Defraud Federal Phone Subsidy Program: "The Lifeline program, which began in 1984, provides phones to low-income Americans and ensures that the poor aren't cut off from jobs, families and emergency services.

Taking Terrorism and the Arab Spring Seriously

Taking Terrorism and the Arab Spring Seriously: "In his State of the Union address, President Obama showed a stunning lack of reality on terrorism and the Arab Spring. The President’s statement saluting “the courage and sacrifice of those who serve in dangerous places at great personal risk” unfortunately rings hollow when one considers the Administration’s treatment of the Benghazi terrorist attack. While the Administration has insisted that al-Qaeda is losing steam, the terrorist network and its affiliates are growing in places like Libya and Mali."
