How fitting that December 3 is known as “Giving Tuesday” or “National Giving Day” and that it falls five days after Turkey Day, following Thanksgiving Week. Americans have been a grateful and generous people throughout our history. It seems intuitive to our tribe to be thankful, as almost every American comes from an immigrant family originally, typically coming to our great country with almost nothing except hope, and a deep desire for freedom and a fresh start. One of my ancestors came over on the Mayflower as an indentured servant, earning his freedom in the New World over time. On the

I discussed my thoughts on what to expect for tonight’s Democratic debate on KTRH: “They’re going after Biden, because if they get rid of him then it’s a brand new playing field. You have Sanders fading, Biden is barely hanging, and Warren is surging.”

A few weeks back, the United Kingdom’s distinguished Ambassador to the United States Kim Darroch found himself in hot water.  Sure, what he said was far kinder than what the “mainstream media” has said and continues to say about President Trump, but he’s a diplomat.  His diplomatic secrecy was shattered by an unknown mischief maker in the British government, designed to take him out as Ambassador to the U.S. and embarrass both his government and President Trump.  The ambassador’s resignation confirms the mischief maker was at a minimum, partially successful.  While the episode was mostly trivial and somewhat amusing (except

Recently, I went on television to discuss immigration.  After advocating application of American ideals and humanitarian action as a must for effective immigration policy, I concluded by emphasizing the ongoing desperate need for secure borders, and that those who enter our country illegally have broken our laws, and for national stability and respect for the rule of law, such infractions had to suffer some form of legal redress.  The guest on the program taking the opposing view opined that my citing the rule of law and legal violations was “vile” and “inflammatory.”  In his defense, he backtracked when I calmly

The United States and Iran have been far from “bosom buddies” since our old friend the Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Shah and imprisoned over 40 Americans in our Embassy for over a year in 1979-1980.  Since that sad event, Iranian financed terrorists killed more than 200 Marines in Lebanon, leading to a Marine withdrawal, and seized American troops in a small military vessel during the Obama Administration. They have funded terrorist activity all over the globe, including in Iraq while Americans were trying to stabilize that country, Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as terrorists in

May 15th  2019 From the desk of George Seay While on the surface of the matter, it may appear amusing to conservatives and patriotic Americans that U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar has been invited to speak at a Ramadan closing event/dinner on May 18, where the Mayor of Austin is the guest of honor, Ms. Omar has left the lightness of levity far behind after her comments on 9/11 and the Black Hawk Down engagement.  Representative Omar has a pattern and practice of siding with America’s enemies.  Here she is in her own words: On Jews and Israel – supporters of

As the Chairman of the Texas-Israel Alliance, I recently led a Texas trade mission to Israel, to enhance business and trade between Israel and Texas.  Throughout the trip we had many first rate meetings with AT&T, Microsoft, cyber security firms, venture capital firms, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s national security advisor, the founder of Checkpoint Software, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Knesset, among many memorable meetings. Perhaps the most compelling meeting, however, took place over a traditional Israeli lunch in the Golan Heights.  The Golan Heights are the beautiful hills rising above the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River Valley. Israel seized and kept
