By Steve McGough | December 4, 2012 |

“Egypt is free!” Not so much I guess. In February 2011 I wrote about the so-called Arab Spring in Egypt after then-President Hosni Mubarak resigned from office and the demonstrators partied in the street. The demonstrators are back…

Do you think America is ready for “the discussion?” No, I’m not talking about dissolving the 2nd Amendment to take handguns away from private citizens. It’s time we have an honest discussion on how we identify and treat mental illness.

The leader of the Hamas militant training programs in Gaza has been driving around in a civilian vehicle with “TV” imprinted on the hood. The dirty trick – making things even more dangerous for real journalists – didn’t work, and Israel targeted the goon anyway.
