I do not want to see perpetual warfare in the Middle East.
I’m a former mayor. I know that being a cop is not an easy job. But when police officers misbehave, they’ve got to be held accountable.
This is a war for the soul of Islam. And those countries who are opposed to Islam, they are going to have to get deeply involved in a way that is not the case today. We should be supportive of that effort.

Rich get richer. Everyone else gets poorer. And all these guys can talk about is war and defunding Planned Parenthood.
We are not going back. We are not returning to the days of back-room abortions, when countless women died or were maimed. The decision about abortion must remain a decision for the woman, her family and a physician to make, not the government.
