The Crimea and The Global Leadership Deficit | HughHewitt.com | 03.20.14

By Clark S. Judge | Published: March 25, 2014
The March 19th front-page headline in the Wall Street Journal announced, “Defiant Russia Claims Crimea as Violence Flares in Region.”  For the first time since the end of the Second World War, one European country invaded and annexed the territory of another. The unseen subtext of so many similar headlines around the world was that the end […]

Division and Confusion: Europe Without America | HughHewitt.com | 03.10.14

By Clark S. Judge | Published: March 11, 2014
If you want to see why American leadership is essential to the effectiveness of Europe in global affairs, just meet with a multinational collection of European political and other officials. I had occasion to share an evening with such a group this past week.  The discussions were on background, not for attribution, so, as with […]

A Dangerous Place Already, This Week the World Became More Dangerous | HughHewitt.com | 02.27.14

By Clark S. Judge | Published: February 27, 2014
When based on principle, partisanship can be a good thing. Due to a series of coincidences, I have spent much of the past five days listening to lectures from foreign policy and national security intellectuals and former policy makers of the Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 administrations.  All were partisans, of course.  But all […]

By Clark S. Judge | Published: September 13, 2013
Many in the media have reported today (Wednesday) that, with the chemical weapons deal he offered to Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin saved Syrian president Bashar Assad.  Nonsense.  Mr. Putin saved the American president, Mr. Obama, even as he humiliated him. Here are some key points about Tuesday night’s speech and beyond: After the speech I […]

The Global War on US — What Should We Do About It? | Ricochet.com | 08.20.13

By Clark S. Judge | Published: August 20, 2013
Egypt, Syria, Iran, Pakistan and all the rest: Since the Obama Administration disclaimed the “Global War on Terror,” every crisis has been addressed ad hoc. That may be one reason our foreign policy seems to stagger around blindly, knocking over tables, breaking plate and pots, ever more dumbly desperate. The Foundation for the Defense of Democracy’s […]

When Professors Become Presidents | USNews.com | 06.20.13

By Clark S. Judge | Published: June 20, 2013
Quick now. U.S. policy in Syria on one hand; Dodd-Frank, Obamacare and immigration reform on the other. What do they have in common? The answer is hidden in reports that have the Obama Administration saying both that it is attempting to create a democratic, pluralistic Syria and quickly end the civil war there. The administration has also made clear […]

Beyond Boston | USNews.com | 4.29.30

By Clark S. Judge | Published: April 30, 2013
Missed in all the talk about the Boston attacks is that key details suggest that something new is going on. Consider this about what we used to call the “Global War on Terror.” In its early stages, it was clearly a product of global forces that were almost a century old. World War I blew […]

The Case for More Sequester | USNews.com | 4.08.13

By Clark S. Judge | Published: April 8, 2013
I’m guessing you missed the latest troubling economic news. I am not talking about last week’s unemployment figures. A record 90 million Americans are now out of the workforce, taking the U.S. labor participation rate back to Carter administration levels – 63.5 percent. The White House tried to blame The Sequester. But the job trend […]

Two Speeches Governor Romney Should Deliver on National Television | 09.17.12 | HughHewitt.com

By Clark S. Judge | Published: September 17, 2012
If you are wondering why President Obama came out of Charlotte with a week-long bounce, consider this: In the fortnight covering the Republican and Democratic conventions, the Obama campaign and allied independent expenditure committees ran roughly 41,000 ads, twice as many as their pro-Romney counterparts (http://tinyurl.com/8r2rhqq).
