Texas got it right in self-defense case (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) It’s always frustrating to see a case surrounding a man who’s clearly innocent — in this particular matter, simply acting on self-defense.

ICC’s Pursuit of Israeli Leaders Beyond Misguided (By Michael Letts)

by
