My fave Pres. to read about is Teddy Roosevelt. His life story includes: Tragedy(Wife & Mom died on same day), Adventure(War Hero, Cowboy, Explorer, Big Game Hunter), Overcame Illness(Asthma) & Assassination Attempt, Won Nobel Prize, Prolific Writer, Youngest Pres. Who is yours?

I am dismayed (but not surprised) that the United Nations has failed to blacklist Hamas for rape, due to a lack of what it deems to be credible evidence. I believe in the mission of the UN, and the values enshrined in its charter. I just wish that the UN lived up to these

A call for genocide of the Jewish people is threatening. Terrifying hate speech on campuses that incite violence, bullying, harassment or intimidation shouldn't be permitted. University policies need to ensure a safe, secure and supportive environment for all. We are watching.

Matthew Rapaport Lyn I'm not so sure that we are more divided than at any time since the civil war. What about the late 1960's? Americans were bitterly divided about the Vietnam War. There were anti-war protests throughout the country. Pres. Johnson chose not to run for re-election due to his

We are not as divided as some may believe. According to a new AP-NORC poll, Americans overwhelmingly still agree on most core American values. 'If you get a bunch of normal people at random and put them in a room together and chat about issues, there’s a lot more convergence than

I agree with the late Sen. Joe Lieberman: “It is the partisan polarization of our politics which prevents us from making the principled compromises on which progress in a democracy depends & right now, which prevents us from restoring our fiscal solvency as a nation.' #Lieberman

I support all the brave people who risked imprisonment & their lives to turn out for hero/martyr Alexey Nalvany's funeral. His widow, Yulia released a message stating her love: 'I don’t know how to live without you, but I will try to make you up there happy for me & proud of me.'

I concur with D. Deutsch: Show IDF footage of what these savages have done; the raping, destruction, beheading; burning & killing of babies; jubilation that the terrorists showed of killing jews with their bare hands & dragging their corpses through the streets & Gazans cheering.

I concur with Sen. King: Think of the millions that have come into Gaza over the past years. Hamas could have used that $ to build an amazing society on the Mediterr. Sea, instead they built tunnels. They've stolen the money of the Palestinian people to turn Gaza into a fortress.

My admiration for George Washington grows daily. He was brave & a great leader. GW was aware that posterity would judge/follow his words & deeds. He set a superb example for how a President should act. GW could have been a king but repeatedly gave up power & returned to his farm.

I am interested in politics, history & current events. I follow accounts across the ideological spectrum, even those that I disagree with. As Americans, I believe we need to work together & find common ground when possible. It is a shame that some people can't accept that.

I agree with Gen. David Petraeus: 'I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu is right to want to destroy Hamas. I don't believe that this is an organization with whom you can reconcile or leave them still alive. The problem is how you go about this matters.' #Hamas #Hamas Terrorists

I agree with Gen. Petraeus: 'Russia would never stop if they achieve their objectives in Ukraine. Lithuania, a NATO member would be next. Putin's goal since taking office is to reassemble as much of the former USSR as he can. We don't want him to succeed because he won't stop.'

The discovery of alleged Hamas tunnels underneath the U.N. Palestinian relief agency HQ in Gaza, brings more shame upon the U.N. UNRWA's excuse that it doesn't have the expertise nor the capacity for inspections of what is or might be under its premises is sorely lacking. #Gaza
