Wounded Warrior Caregiving Hero: Meet Virginia Peacock

Virginia Peacock was so very tired. The journey she began with her husband, David, a combat flight medic wounded in Afghanistan, went from caring for a shoulder injury to coping with the invisible, unpredictable and little understood wounds of PTSD and traumatic brain injury.

EDITORIAL: Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton Swedish connection

Nobody has the talent for flying as close to the flame, and surviving intact if not undamaged, like Bill and Hillary Clinton. The revelation Wednesday in this newspaper, that the Clintons set up and kept hidden a foundation in Sweden to receive $26 million from Swedish government interests, writes a new chapter in the chronicles of greed and avarice. What the Clintons were up to is unusually outrageous, imaginatively unethical and probably criminal.

EDITORIAL: Iran working on bomb during talks

The absurdity of the negotiations with Iran grows ever more self evident. What we know of what President Obama is cooking up is very little, so carefully have the negotiations been kept in the shadows. But that little we know smells ever more rank.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Shorter tour for John Kerry, fewer concessions?

The bad news is that Secretary of State John Kerry broke his leg in a bike accident ("John Kerry breaks leg in bike crash, ends overseas trip early," Web, May 31). The good news is that for the time being it may stop him from offering further concessions to the tentative, one-sided nuclear agreement with Iran. So far there has only been a give to Iran with no reciprocity on the part of the leaders of that nation.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Condolences to Biden family

My heart goes out to Vice President Joe Biden and his entire family over the tragic loss of Mr. Biden's son, Beau Biden. At age 46, Beau Biden had accomplished much in his professional life as a public servant, having served in the military during the Iraq war and two terms as attorney general of Delaware. He was popular in Delaware, and he wanted to serve his state even further by running for governor in 2016.

Thai Foreign Minister Thanasak Patimaprakorn speaks at the "Special Meeting on Irregular Migration in the Indian Ocean" regarding the Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrant crisis at a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. In the past month, more than 3,000 Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar and impoverished Bangladeshis hoping to find jobs have landed on the shores of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, drawing international attention to a crisis in Southeast Asia.

EDITORIAL: Southeast Asia crisis focuses attention worldwide problem

The Thai government, a military dictatorship installed by a coup notwithstanding, gave itself a pat on the back when it got the 17 countries together to talk about the refugee emergency in Southeast Asia, and what they could and should do about it. It's a big emergency that nobody wants to make sacrifices for.

EDITORIAL: Obama living in his own world

Slowly, slowly, America is concluding that President Obama lives in a far different world than the rest of us, in a universe far, far away where it never rains and the skies are not cloudy all day. Obama World is quite a place. It was a bleak place before he arrived in our world in 2009. Republican monsters roamed the land, devouring women and children, threatening the freedoms of those fortunate enough to survive. The monsters made war after war on innocents, working assiduously to destroy the middle class and ruin the economy for everyone.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Chester Nimitz showed real leadership

On Christmas Day, 1941, Adm. Chester Nimitz arrived by Catalina flying boat to command the Pacific Fleet. He saw the Pearl Harbor attack had missed dry docks, repair shops and the tank farm. Therefore the carriers, their escorts and submarines stood ready to take the offensive. Nimitz knew some very good men had taken a terrible beating, so when he officially took command on Dec. 31, he told the assembled staffs he had complete and unlimited confidence in every one of them.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Islamic State not real Muslims

Recently, the "khalifa" of ISIS released a message calling all Muslims to fight for the Islamic State and the Caliphate. This message is terrifying for Muslims for two reasons. It aims to do the following: represent Islam as a violent religion which supports the atrocities committed by this terrorist group and mislead other Muslims to partake in the evils committed by the Islamic State.

EDITORIAL: Patriot Act security vs. privacy costs

Almost nobody stands up to cheer for government agencies with "security" in their names. Security, like medicine, can be necessary but nobody likes it, and those who administer it are, like Nurse Cratchit with her spoon and medicine bottle, often severe and unfeeling. Nobody likes snoops, either, and the United States was founded on skepticism of government. Even after producing the Constitution the Founders amended it with the Bill of Rights, aimed at bureaucrats and rule-makers eager to assert government control over everyone.

FILE - In this Nov. 1, 2014 file photo, an American Ethanol label is shown on a NASCAR race car gas tank at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. The Obama administration is proposing to reduce the amount of ethanol blended in the nation's gasoline, a blow to renewable fuel companies that have pushed to keep high volumes of their product flowing into drivers' gas tanks. The move is unlikely to mean much for consumers or prices at the pump. (AP Photo/Randy Holt, File)

EDITORIAL: Renewable fuels should go to market, not EPA

It's easy to tell the difference between problem-solvers and ideologues. The problem-solvers learn the lessons that reality teaches and adjust to them — the ideologues and true believers keep pushing their errors, only harder.

FILE - In this Feb. 18, 2015 file photo Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy speaks at the State Department in Washington. The Obama administration says a new federal rule regulating small streams and wetlands will protect the drinking water of more than 117 million Americans. Republicans in Congress say the rule issued this week goes too far and could even subject puddles and ditches to regulation in what GOP lawmakers call a massive overreach of government power.

EDITORIAL: EPA’s new clean water standard a threat to American farms

Barnyard critters beware, the water cops are coming. The Environmental Protection Agency, which claims jurisdiction over the air above, wants to rule not just the waves but the wet spots as well, claiming jurisdiction over water that rushes or merely trickles over the farmland of America.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Middle East evacuation no victory

How ironic that President Obama boasted on Memorial Day about his getting our ground troops home from the Middle East ("In Memorial Day tribute to fallen troops, Obama cites his role in ending wars," Web, May 25).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: FIFA needs outsiders

In spite of the recent scandal that has rocked the soccer world, Sepp Blatter, the embattled president of FIFA, says that soccer must continue to police itself ("FIFA officials indicted on corruption charges," Web, May 27). Mr. Blatter seems to be severely out-of-touch with reality.
