Recently, Gen. Clark received the letter below from a young veteran. Failing to provide adequate education benefits for our returning soldiers will only dissuade a large number of our best and brightest from choosing military service over other career options. The armed forces will remain strong only if we attract the most talented Americans with […]

Enjoy. Willie Colon, a true American and Puerto Rican treasure, was recently featured here at No Quarter.
Willie Colon believes Sen. Hillary Clinton is best qualified for the White House. The legendary Bronx-born Puerto Rican and American cultural icon stated, “Hillary has been on the side of our families for over 35 years - she has been […]

“I don’t want Bush-Cheney lite,” he told reporters yesterday. “I want a fundamental change.”
Sen. Barack Obama, NYT, July 26, 2007 referring to Sen. Hillary Clinton. Oh, really? Let’s explore this a bit as we stroll down memory lane…

Monica Conyers, Detroit City Council president pro tem and wife of Rep. John Conyers - was instrumental in running Sen. Obama’s GOTV stealth program for “undecided” in the Michigan primary. Somehow classy doesn’t come to mind when I think of her. Recently, she had a debate with middle schoolers and it looks to me that she may have been schooled herself.

Hugh Thompson, Lawrence Colburn and Glenn Andreotta. Remember their names? Of the three soldiers, one lives today - Lawrence Colburn. They exemplify the very best of moral courage, duty and honor. And during a time of war. I’ve tried writing about them before, but I felt woefully unable to honor them appropriately.

Many of you are already familiar with Gene Sperling, chief economic advisor to Hillary Clinton. He’s brilliant, highly respected, well liked and in the Clinton adminstration he was the man President Clinton called the Most Valuable Player. That’s pretty high praise from the chief of a very talented administration. Mr. Sperling is credited as being […]

Trombonist, bandleader, singer, arranger, composer, artist, actor, political activist, innovator, cultural icon, environmentalist, musical ambassador and producer are a few of the words used to describe the many hats the dapper master salsa musician - Willie Colon - has worn and continues to wear. And since the passing of legendary latin jazz/salsa bandleader/pioneer - Tito Puente, […]

Whether you’re a supporter of Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama - you know or should know that both candidates are rightfully supporters and co-sponsors of the New GI Bill of Rights. As Democrats, we have a tradition of caring for our veterans. And despite good intentions - at times we have have fallen woefully short in our […]

As of late, someone from Camp Rajneesh Obama - a surrogate of “he who may not be questioned” - has dredged up Monica’s blue dress drivel. I believe it’s safe to say that topic has been covered at length. However, if we’re going to talk about stains - let’s talk about Sen. Obama’s foreign policy […]

Sen. Obama has made it clear he has no wish for the voters in Florida and Michigan to be heard. OK, as a Michigan resident who voted in our state’s primary I’m starting to understand my vote means nothing to Sen. Obama or the DNC.
It’s a real eye opener and disgusts me immensely. But to […]
