A decade ago, I spent almost ten hours, many of which occurred when I should have been sleeping, reading Paullina Simons’ debut novel, The Bronze Horseman. It’s a historical romance novel, about a young Russian woman and a soldier during the Siege of Leningrad. Although Simons’ approach to the romance is a

With Obama’s presidency winding down, Bill Whittle takes a look at every one of his disastrous foreign policy initiatives. No one can doubt that, in the last seven years, Obama has consistently betrayed America’s friends and emboldened, and strengthened, her enemies. Sadly, the blood that will be spilled in coming

After humiliating President Obama before the world when he pulled Obama’s chestnuts out of the fire regarding Syria (a move, incidentally, that turned a leader of a third-world nuclear nation into a Middle Eastern power
