Every President goes through a stretch where the hits just keep coming. This is clearly one of those times for President Obama. From the revelations of the past few days, it doesn't look like it is going to end any time soon. In fact, there is likely more in the very near future with the implementation of Obamacare, even though that is still a few months away.
Let's start with Benghazi. The whole handling of the situation was clearly a mistake made by the administration. While the public relation guys are trying to clean up and subsequently distance the President,
The Week of Tragedies

Republican Reflections
On April 15, two bombs went off in Boston. On April 17, a fertilizer plant blew up. It has been one of the worst weeks in the United States in quite some time. While the shock is now wearing off and the funerals have begun, it is important to keep your head during this time. There are lessons to be learned from both incidents. But before this turns into a huge blame game revolving around who is at fault in the Federal Government, it is important that you direct your efforts in a manner that helps the victims and
Is North Korea Serious?
by T Akery April 16th, 2013 Republican Reflections
That is a question that a lot of people are asking. After all, North Korea has a new leader. I should say "new dictator in power". Like most dictators, he is eager to show off to the world without the slightest regard for his own people. So the threats are a way of garnering the world's attention and for the moment it is working. There are things he needs if he wants to keep his army in any type of decent fighting shape. With heavy sanctions, the country is borderline starving. You just can't run an army on empty
Spotlight on the RNC!
by Eric M. Blake September 3rd, 2012 Conservative Considerations, Republican Reflections
Okay, folks. A promise is a promise. This Labor Day— my reflections of the Republican National Convention, Tampa!
First off, a little nod to Greg Gutfeld, who pointed out two “deaths” on full display, as the convention raged on: OWS, and OWM. “OWS,” of course, is the Occupy movement— now given in to dangling donuts in cops’ faces… and then asking them for directions to the next protest site. “OWM” is “Old White Men”— the stereotype imposed on the GOP by a Democrat party that swears up and down that they are the party of “hip”. Needless to say… at

A Tale of Two Witch-Hunts
by Eric M. Blake August 27th, 2012 Conservative Considerations, Republican Reflections
Okay, folks. Today, I want to focus on two most unfortunate— and most distracting— incidents concerning this past week. In one sense or another, they’re both witch-hunts— you know, unjust persecution of innocent people, using either trumped-up linkages, or just plain trumped-up charges. Let’s start with the latter.
A couple days ago, bicycle legend Lance Armstrong— the man who won the Tour de France seven times in a row (soundly beating the French at their own game), and then went on to beat cancer— decided enough was enough. After a decade of harassment by “non-profit” folks to the effect that
