    Just discovered this forum. I was a frequent poster on the Roadbikereview PO (politics only) forum but the place has gone downhill for the last couple of years. I'm best described as a 19th century liberal with regard to economic policy and generally a social moderate although definitely am pro life.

    Currently reading/have just finished "America in Retreat" - Bret Stephens, "Hard Measures" - Jose Rodriguez, "Stonewalled" - Sharyl Atkisson, "Please Stop Helping Us" - Jason Riley, "The Struggle for Mastery in the Fertile Crescent" - Foud Ajami, "In Retreat - America's Withdrawal from the Middle East" - Russel Berman, "World Order" - Henry Kissenger, and "Killing Patton" - Bill O'Reilly.

    Hoping to contribute to the discussions.

    Thanks - can you please tell me how to post video content. In the previous forum I would copy the embed code but that doesn't work here.

    Hi. You can use the same embed code here too (if it's a you-tube video, possibly others too but I haven't figured it out myself)
    You just have to enter the embed code using the embed video button or, alternatively, by wrapping video tags around it.
    (if you reply to this post, you can see what the tags look like)

    Follow on:

    I was unsuccessful in trying to embed a video on a Col. Leo Thorsness interview from Fox News. The share option included this embed "code"

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://video.foxnews.com/v/embed.js?id=3936834993001&w=466&h=263"></script><noscript>Watch the latest video at <a href="http://video.foxnews.com">video.foxnews.com</a></noscript>

    I tried to wrap video around it using the "insert video" button but that did not work. I also tried to pick out the http part of the "script" but that also did not work Here is a link to the Happening Now page - this guy is a real hero BTW. I'm almost done with his book - Surviving Hell.
