    JANUARY 22, 2016 By Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. NNPA News Wire Columnist When you are considered by millions of people across the nation and throughout the world community to be the “Leader of the Free World,” that is an awesome and serious international responsibility.

  • Some TPP Truth – It’s a Bad Bad Deal

    In the end – it’s a complicated situation – as most things are in politics. There are no good answers to any of these problematic questions. But, TPP will be the breaking point for America over the next twenty years, if passed. And, there will be no way out for our kids and grand kids.

  • Republicans v. Democrats: How Gun Control Is Different.

    Rarely in Washington does an issue come to light that does not have a predetermined political outcome. The fiscal cliff (or non-fiscal cliff as I called it) was decided by both Democrats and Republicans long before December 31st. The raising of the debt ceiling has already been decided by the Beltway movers and shakers. You’ll…

  • Two Bibles-One Oath.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is putting a symbolic twist on a time-honored tradition, taking the oath of office for his second term with his hand placed not on a single Bible, but two — one owned by Martin Luther King Jr. and one by Abraham Lincoln.

  • Republicans are Struggling for Oxygen.

    President Obama quickly came to the defense of UN Ambassador Susan Rice over remarks she made regarding the Benghazi incident during Sunday Moring political talk shows September 16, 2012. What’s even more interesting is the twists and turns of the Republicans taking aim in a fever pitched effort to discredit Ambassador Rice. I don’t think…

  • It’s a far more liberal Senate than it was four years ago.

    Molly Ball’s fun story about the leftward shift in the Senate reminds us of a fact forgotten five minutes into election night. Bob Kerrey, the two-term Nebraska senator, lost his comeback bid. While Ohio’s Sherrod Brown was promising to hike taxes on the rich and save entitlements from the “grand bargain” guillotine, Kerrey was being…

  • For Netanyahu, Gaza escalation could pave the way to Iran strike

    Amir OrenHaaretzNov 16, 2012 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have not given up the dream of carrying out a major operation in Iran.

  • Only 8% of small business make over 200K a year.

    House Speaker John Boehner greatly exaggerated the negative effect on the economy of raising taxes on upper-income individuals. Boehner erred when he said that “the problem with raising tax rates on the wealthiest Americans is that more than half of them are small-business owners.” That’s incorrect. Boehner’s spokesman said the speaker simply misspoke, but Boehner…
