By Clark S. Judge | Published: February 20, 2013
FoxNews.com posted a home page story this evening that began, “President Obama pinned the blame on Republicans Tuesday for looming spending cuts that may be triggered by what was originally a White House proposal….” Well, duh. Hasn’t staging one deadlock after another been the Obama White House’s transparent game plan since Day One of Term […]

The Next Big Wars Will Be Fought Over Water | USNews.com | 2.19.13

Recently here at the Thomas Jefferson Street blog, I looked at surprises that the next four years could spring on the nation. I focused on separatist movements around the world, in Asia and Africa, of course, but also in Europe. The gist was that the world map could change quickly, dramatically, and soon if even a […]

What Will Tonight’s SOTU Tell Us? | Ricochet.com | 2.12.12

By Clark S. Judge | Published: February 12, 2013

The Framer’s Foresight and the Biggest Question the Nation Faces | Ricochet.com | 2.3.13

By Clark S. Judge | Published: February 4, 2013
Over the last year and a half, the President has repeatedly announced that, since Congress won’t act on this or that, he will have to, by decree, uh, executive order and regulation. Challenges to the substance and even legitimacy of the Constitution comprise the biggest question overhanging our republic in this time of many questions. […]

The Second Amendment strikes me as particularly anti-federalist in origin and […]
