by Gary Fouse I vividly recall watching Bill Clinton walking through the bowels of the Staples Center in Los Angeles for what seemed an eternity (Perhaps, he was lost?) when he spoke at the DNC 2000 convention.

by Gary Fouse As I write this, Paris has experienced its latest terrorist attack.

by Gary Fouse It's been a bad week for the First Amendment in the US and freedom of speech in general.

by Gary Fouse Ever since 9-11, the US and its governments have searched desperately for so-called "moderate Muslims" who advocated peace and coexistence among religions and an end to terrorism. I myself have found the search daunting having listened to "moderates" like Reza Aslan, Tariq Ramadan, ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse If anybody needed further proof that California (where I reside) is a renegade state, the past few days have left no doubt.

by Gary Fouse The news out of Europe continues to get more and more depressing. From Italy to Sweden, more and more refugees, migrants, and asylum-seekers continue to pour into Western Europe.

by Gary Fouse With the indictments of 13 Russians, special prosecutor Robert Mueller confirms what we already knew: The Russians were meddling in our election.

by Gary Fouse Back in 1970, when I was a newly-hired US Customs agent, I had to have my photo taken for my credentials.

by Gary Fouse I did not watch the Golden Globe awards show, thus, I did not catch Oprah Winfrey's speech. Only today have I taken the time to watch it. Without nit-picking the content, I think we can all agree it was a powerful speech. She spoke without notes or a teleprompter and showed that ...Read More...

by Gary Fouse I generally have a rule of thumb about reading books about sitting presidents. The rule is that I don't. It doesn't matter whether it's a hit piece or a hagiographic piece.

by Gary Fouse As ugly as it is, President Trump's decision to move our embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem has brought the rats out of their hiding places and further made clear the religious anti-Jewish bigotry that lies behind the whole Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

by Gary Fouse The more I learn about James Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton email scandal, the less I like him.
