January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month: Let`s Work Together To Help Bring Home Some Of America`s Missing Children

The last eyewitness accounts of Ali state she was walking away from her home towards the road that led to the Burger Barn and her last communication was a text message to a friend at 2:57 PM.

(SPRING, TX,) - Children disappear from the streets of America every day; in fact, 900,000 a year – that's one every forty seconds! While some are family abductions and runaways, many are not.

Many of these missing children are kidnapped, murdered, or end up in the hellish world of human trafficking and can't understand why no one has come looking for them. We cannot ever give up looking for them – they depend on all of us to bring them home.

Obama Fans Aren`t Even Pretending That Was a Good Speech

Obama's promises not to abuse unchecked secret powers (and implied promise that none of his successors or subordinates will abuse them either) is not credible, or acceptable...

Video Shows U.S. Gen. Paul E. Vallely Collaborating in Development of FSA

In selling the mercenary jihadist mission of the Free Syrian Army, Vallely and a TV program host suggest the FSA is secular, and that is the farthest thing from the truth.

(SALEM) - Video from LiveLeak shows U.S. Gen. Paul E. Vallely with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) after he entered Syrian territory by crossing the Turkish border.
