TAMMY BRUCE: Obsolete equipment puts U.S. troops at risk

On this Memorial Day, as we honor our troops who gave their lives defending freedom, it is worth remembering what makes our freedom so valuable. Every living creature yearns to be free, as it's the foundation to happiness.

Illustration on Democrat misdirection on their record with women by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

TAMMY BRUCE: Real facts about the Democrats’ war on women

Why is the Clinton campaign obsessed about spinning what Donald Trump says about women? It's because they're desperate to have you not notice the damage President Obama and the Democratic Party are actually inflicting on women's lives.

This Monday, Aug. 11, 2015, file photo, shows a Target store in Miami. Target is making a stand on the debate around what type of bathrooms transgender people can use. In a statement posted on its company website Tuesday, April 19, 2016, the discounter, based in Minneapolis, said transgender employees and customers can use the restroom or fitting room facility that "corresponds with their gender identity."

TAMMY BRUCE: The folly of ‘inclusive’ restrooms

Never did I think the gay civil rights movement would devolve into irrelevant arguments about bathrooms, but here we are. The newest controversy involving Target stores highlights how leftists aren't concerned at all about bathrooms, but about using gay rights as a cudgel with which to punish those who do not pay allegiance or conform to the liberal agenda.

Illustration on the politicization of the currency by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

TAMMY BRUCE: Harriet Tubman and liberal baggage

We're told our money will be changing. A woman will displace President Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill. Already there is spirited public comment, both for and against. Arguments about tradition and political correctness versus change and honor dominate, with each side making persuasive points.

Illustration on the need for toughness rather than empathy in response to terrorism by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

TAMMY BRUCE: Love, empathy won’t stop terrorists

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes he's found the solution to global Islamic terrorism: love and empathy. He has announced that, essentially, all we need to do is hug it out, that perhaps one Giant Hug will overcome the global jihadist network of maniacs who exist only to murder.

TAMMY BRUCE: Obama behaves as if terrorism doesn’t exist

Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks here at home, I got into the habit of checking my email immediately upon waking to check in on the condition of the world. For the first year after 9/11 we had no idea what to expect day to day; we certainly believed more attacks were on the way.

Illustration on tech companies and privacy by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

TAMMY BRUCE: How tech companies violate privacy

With the Apple versus FBI so-called privacy fight in the news, one would think the tech industry is singularly concerned about your privacy rights. Some recent news reminded me, however, not only how blase the tech industry has been about your privacy, but that it is actively engaged in violating it.

Iraqi workers mop the floor at the Assyrian Hall of the Iraq National Museum Baghdad, Sunday, March 13, 2016. Assyria was a civilization located near the modern-day city of Mosul, now held by the Islamic State group, who published videos online showing the destruction of key Assyrian sites Nimrud and Hatra along with many other religious and cultural sites.(AP Photo/Maya Alleruzzo)

TAMMY BRUCE: Comparing Islamic world with the West a false equivalence

If you listen to world leadership these days, you would think there was no real difference between Western civilization and the Islamic world. Whether it be the United Nations, Europe, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, everyone is fixated on a deal between Palestinians and Israel.

TAMMY BRUCE: Mitt Romney war with Donald Trump dividing party

I gained a lot of respect for Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential race. He and his wife were obviously terrific people, and he, I believed, would be a wonderful president. I still think that, but after his theater of the absurd last Thursday morning attacking Donald Trump, Mr. Romney has turned from a smart and well-meaning politician to an underhanded plotter.

Illustration on the disarray of the GOP by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

TAMMY BRUCE: The Republican world turned upside down

Just prior to last week's Republican debate in Houston, a new Quinnipiac poll was released showing Donald Trump crushing Sen. Marco Rubio 44 percent to 28 percent, a whopping 16 points, in the senator's home state of Florida.

TAMMY BRUCE: When Starbucks meets Sharia

Welcome to Starbucks in Saudi Arabia. With your tall nonfat latte you will also get an extra special gift: a giant, steaming pile of gender apartheid.

TAMMY BRUCE: When foreigners bring disease across the border

When facing the massive problems associated with an open border, deluges of illegal immigration, and now even government sponsored surges of so-called "refugees," we naturally must discuss our concern about terrorism and violent crime. That, however, is only part of the threat.

Illustration on “decent” government types are destroying the country by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

TAMMY BRUCE: The moral case against establishment Republicans

Is not being a jerk an important part of what's required to be president? Jeb Bush thinks so. While it would be fabulous to have another Ronald Reagan -- a wonderful, decent man who was also a powerful leader -- not being a jerk isn't at all a necessary component of the leadership this nation now needs.

Illustration on rising criminality in sanctuary cities by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

TAMMY BRUCE: Crime rises in sanctuary cities

"Crime in Los Angeles rose in all categories in 2015, LAPD says" ominously declares the Los Angeles Times headline. But this isn't a surprise to those of us who aren't blinded by the false narratives and fantasy world of the American left.

TAMMY BRUCE: Why Is Obama making life easier for terrorists?

Imagine there's a horrible mass murder of 130 people and then another one a short time later in another town, with 14 people killed. This innocent collection of moms, dads, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, and best friends murdered as they were eating at a cafe, enjoying a concert with friends and loved-ones or celebrating the holiday season.
