Fox’s Jeanine Pirro tells it like it is
Jeanine Pirro tells it like it is on her Fox program, Justice with Judge Jeanine. (energytimes.com)
It’s unfortunate that Judge Jeanine Pirro’s program appears on Fox on Saturday night, when most people are having dinner out or are engaged in another social event.
While we frequently look to Charles Krauthammer or George Will to give us a commentary that clearly states a crisis and how we need to face it, I was duly impressed by Pirro’s opening statement on Feb. 7. Please take seven minutes of your time to listen. Click here.
NBC’s Brian Williams to take some time off
While NBC’s management is investigating the material used by its Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, Williams is going to take some time off. While he does, rumors are already flying that Katie Curic is waiting in the wings.
Most people don’t realize that while Williams is the anchor of Nightly News, he is more than a “news reader.” He is the program’s managing editor, which makes him the decision maker on what airs and what doesn’t. Hmmmm
Ohio State professor of law supports Obama in op-ed
A banner headline across the editorial page of the Feb. 2, Arizona Daily Star asks the question, “Has President Obama’s ‘lead from behind’ strategy helped or harmed America’s global leadership?” John B. Quigley, distinguished professor of law at Ohio State University, believes it has helped saying, “(Obama’s) approach in relations with the rest of the world could work well in 2015.”
Understanding that university faculties generally lean left, his views are not all that suprising.

The professor agrees with the administration’s positions on Afghanistan and dealing with the Taliban; on opening relations with Cuba and closing Guantanamo; on Ukraine; on global warming; and on reducing our military footprint in Europe while pivoting towards Asia. “The Obama administration’s ‘lead from behind’ approach to foreign relations holds promise,” he concluded.
Responding to the Daily Star’s question on the “harmed” side of the question, was James Carafano, a 25-year Army veteran, who is vice president of the Defense and Foreign Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation.
After citing administrative inaction around the globe, Carafano says, “(Obama) believes that his way will somehow turn out fine. That means more of the same.”
“By 2016, both Democrat and Republican presidential hopefuls will be running away from Obama’s foreign policy … and they won’t even need a slur like ‘leading from behind’ to describe it,” he concluded.
