Crashing into the rocky shoreline with ten-foot faces, much of the dramatic and majestic California coast is no place to land a boat, let alone at night, but drug smugglers and human traffickers are doing just that...and the numbers are alarming.

Arizona voters prefer amnesty

What is any good Tea Party patriot to think about Arizona voters after they have just returned John McCain to office?

James Conway, who told reporters that the July 2011 withdrawal date has given a morale boost to Taliban insurgents who now believe they can simply wait out NATO forces.
