Recipe for winning an election: Destroy America

The last decade has seen a new and somewhat disturbing phenomena however. The trendy political message is no longer about strengthening the United States. Instead, it is about tearing it down.

Three months after launching his White House bid, Biden remains atop early polling, buoyed by a long history with voters and a belief that his decades of experience best-position him to defeat Trump. Those attributes appear to have helped the former vice president withstand weeks of attacks on his lengthy record in politics. But Biden’s rivals remain confident that his frequent fumbles, like the one in Des Moines, will eventually catch up to him, undermining his electability argument. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)

Joe Biden strategy: Hide and seek to avoid gaffes?

Friends and supporters of former Vice President Joe Biden have been gently suggesting to him and to campaign officials that perhaps he should make fewer campaign appearances, thus lessening the likelihood of Mr. Biden making more high profile gaffes, as he did repeatedly last week in Iowa.

Hinder Keeps Rocking in Challenging Music Climate

In the world of rock n' roll, many bands get taken advantage of by management, by their record label or by unscrupulous promoters. As artists rather than business people, some go into the industry blind and never recover. Hinder founding member and drummer Cody Hanson had a leg up on most. Before he ever stepped on stage or in the studio, Hanson studied business and marketing.

America’s closest friend in the Middle East

Throughout its history, the United States has developed and nurtured friendships with allies around the globe. Some share similar economic interests. Others are tactical political partners. Still others are strong military allies. A few share America's emphasis on education, health care and opportunity for all. It is rare however, when a nation shares in all of these items with the United States.

Qatar Airways

A generation ago the word Cadillac became synonymous with excellence. When someone was trying to describe the very best of a certain category there was no greater compliment than to be labeled "the Cadillac of desk chairs," or "the Cadillac of kitchen appliances." The category didn't matter, the comparison to Cadillac did.

World leader in natural gas

Qatar's modest history of fishing and pearling was forever changed in the mid-20th century with the discovery of oil reserves. First discovered in 1939 but delayed by World War II, oil made it possible for Qatar to begin expanding and modernizing in the 1950s. Qatar joined OPEC in 1961. Oil paved the way to a variety of opportunities and in 1971 Qatar became an independent state.

Supreme Court, Electoral College under scope as Dems want to change rules

Remember back in high school when your basketball team lost more games than it won? It was no fun, not for the team, not for the fans, and not for the students. Remember how rather than switch coaches or improve team training your school instead simply changed the rules? Each time your team scored a basket they were awarded 4 points rather than the standard 2. Was the rule change fair? No. It did meet your needs, however. Your school won more games.
