ContributorNetwork - COMMENTARY | There is something nefarious afoot. While half of the American population depends on entitlement programs, Obama has made efforts to "spread the wealth." America is running out of food to feed other people "around" the world. In May, Hillary Clinton promised the United Nations that America would "address the underlying causes of hunger, by investing in everything from research to better seeds." Surely this has no connection to Obama's efforts to deregulate a new variety of genetically modified yet untested corn created by Monsanto.

ContributorNetwork - COMMENTARY | According to the Associated Press, Mexican national Humberto Leal, at his July 7, 2011, execution in Huntsville, Texas, accepted responsibility for the brutal rape and murder of which he was convicted. The facts of the case appear to be cut and dried, and there seems little question as to Leal's guilt in the 1994 slaying of a 16-year-old girl.
