Iran Microwaves Babies! Rep Joe Wilson Concocts Bizarre Justification For Iran War

Iran Microwaves Babies! Rep Joe Wilson Concocts Bizarre Justification For Iran War

by | Nov 14, 2026 |

This is a new one, and quite insane in terms of pro-war propaganda coming from elected officials... South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson (R) has bizarrely claimed that Iranians have been putting babies in microwaves. This was his response when pressed this week to offer a justification for the Iran war by independent journalist and longtime Middle East regional pundit Rania Khalek. Khalek walked with him through Congressional halls and peppered him with questions highlighting the unpopularity of the...

Eric Trump’s Humanoid Robots To Be Used In Gaza Genocide

Eric Trump’s Humanoid Robots To Be Used In Gaza Genocide

by | Nov 14, 2026 |

The Financial Times has published a new article titled “Humanoid robot start-up backed by Eric Trump in talks with Israel’s military” which is exactly as horrifying as its headline suggests. The article features photographs of bipedal armored robots which look like they came from the set of a post-apocalyptic Hollywood movie, and opens as follows: A company backed by Eric Trump is in talks with the Israel Defense Forces to supply humanoid robots to patrol Hamas tunnels beneath Gaza and...

‘Shouting Match From Hell’ Between Trump And Netanyahu

‘Shouting Match From Hell’ Between Trump And Netanyahu

by | Nov 13, 2026 |

Numerous News reports have been published this week about a phone conversation between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu that took place sometime during the weekend of November 7-8. The Times of India quoted Israeli media outlet Ynet as saying it was a “shouting match from Hell.” Other publications from the New York Post to several Israeli newspapers described the call as “angry” or “explosive.” Apparently, the President has finally realized that “Netanyahu is not our friend” as the...

‘It’s Not My Fault,’ Plead Guilty Neocons

‘It’s Not My Fault,’ Plead Guilty Neocons

In its early days, Saturday Night Live got a lot of comedy mileage out of Chevy Chase satirizing President Gerald Ford’s clumsiness with exaggerated pratfalls and stumbles. It wasn’t just SNL. Comedian Bob Hope piled on, saying you could always find Ford on the golf course by “following the wounded.” Bumping his head boarding the Marine helicopter on the White House lawn happened frequently enough that many remember Ford turning to the press once and saying, “It’s not my fault!” Now it looks...

Sad: Dems Helped to Stymie Massie’s Impeachment of Hegseth

“We knew that this vote [Impeachment] was coming, so people should have gotten their raggedy selves up these steps to vote. There is no reason why we should have lost this vote because of attendance issues.” -- Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA). Voters across America showed up at the polls to empower Democrats in last Tuesday’s election. In one of the first votes of consequence after the midterms, eleven Democratic Members of the House of Reprentatives failed to show up for the vote...

Todd Blanche and the Department of Political Justice 

Todd Blanche and the Department of Political Justice 

by | Nov 12, 2026 |

There is perhaps no more dangerous appointment in a constitutional republic than an attorney general who mistakes his obligation to defend the Constitution for a choice to defend the president. Todd Blanche is demonstrating, with alarming regularity, that he does not understand the difference. Once Donald Trump's skilled personal lawyer, Attorney General Blanche now occupies an office whose responsibilities do not include addressing the personal interests, political grievances, and wounded...

Betraying America’s Military and the Constitution They Swore to Defend

Betraying America’s Military and the Constitution They Swore to Defend

by | Nov 11, 2026 |

Donald Trump and his administration have done a grave disservice to America’s military. By politicizing the military, sending service members into wars of questionable legality, attempting to use military forces against American citizens, and seeking to punish veterans who exercise their constitutional rights, the Trump administration has attempted to turn the U.S. military into its own guns-for-hire battalion. This is not how you honor America’s military. Pete Hegseth has done an even graver...

Putting Pressure on a New US House Member to Fall in Line

Putting Pressure on a New US House Member to Fall in Line

by | Nov 11, 2026 |

Last week, I wrote about how some Democratic United States Congress candidates to whom special interests had paid relatively little attention were elected in the recent midterm election in the big wave of Democratic electoral success across the country. After the election, I indicated, the special interests would seek to “make up for lost time to ensure these relatively unknown new Congress members become allies.” To the extent such efforts fail, some truly independent Democrats may, I wrote,...

Will Republicans Learn Their Lesson from the ‘Disastrous’ Midterms?

Will Republicans Learn Their Lesson from the ‘Disastrous’ Midterms?

by | Nov 9, 2026 |

Politicians break campaign promises with hardly any hesitation and usually they get away with it. Americans have come to put up with broken promises for so long, they hardly even seem to notice. Last week, however, voters noticed. They showed the Republican party just how angry they were over President Trump’s decision to attack Iran and how angry they were with Congress for abandoning its Constitutional authority over matters of war and peace. The results were dramatic. Voters even turned...

Jared Kushner’s Diplomacy for Hire

Jared Kushner’s Diplomacy for Hire

by | Nov 7, 2026 |

Many observers of the highly dysfunctional President Donald J Trump administration have noted how a major contributing factor for the foreign policy disasters might well derive from the appointment of two real estate billionaires personally linked to the president as its top negotiators. That Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner had no diplomatic experience right from the beginning the presumption should have been a given that they would be managed and consistently out-maneuvered by...

Politicians Come and Go. The Machinery of Oppression Remains

Politicians Come and Go. The Machinery of Oppression Remains

by | Nov 6, 2026 |

There is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there?— V for Vendetta A revolution can topple a tyrant without dismantling tyranny. An election can replace a president without curbing the powers of the presidency. A new political majority can inherit the instruments of repression and adapt them to their own purposes. In other words, what good is a political change if the weapons of oppression merely change hands? After a midterm election that saw billions of dollars spent on...

Some Truly Independent Democrats may be Joining the US Congress

by | Nov 5, 2026 |

Here is the way congressional elections often work. The vast majority of incumbents seeking reelection win, and many races that do not have an incumbent are decided in the primary of the party that dominates in the electoral district. Meanwhile, there is a small portion of races where the outcome is up for grabs in the general election. Further, it seems easy to understand with high confidence way ahead of time what will be the case for most districts come election day. This situation is a...

How the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic Became a Country

How the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic Became a Country

by | Nov 5, 2026 |

The former Soviet administrative unit that emerged as independent Ukraine in 1991 after the fall of the Soviet Union was bounded by the exact borders of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR). That is, it comprised a wholly unnatural polity whose borders and population had been assembled by successive Soviet leaders for the administrative convenience of their brutal communist dictatorship. Once the external scaffolding of this Moscow disappeared, that construct quickly polarized along...

What Has the Government Done to Our Freedoms?

by | Nov 5, 2026 |

Does the government work for us, or do we work for the government? We pay its taxes, obey its laws and regulations, finance its wars and submit to its surveillance. We are told that all of this is necessary for personal safety, collective prosperity and national security. Yet the government has become totalitarian while individuals have become powerless. The very institution established to protect our natural rights has become our greatest threat. The Fourth Amendment protects the right to...

Iran War Drags Republicans Down, Gives Democrats Blowout Victories

Iran War Drags Republicans Down, Gives Democrats Blowout Victories

by | Nov 4, 2026 |

When Republicans put America First, they won. When they put Israel First, they lost. That’s it. That’s the plain and simple of last night’s elections. Tuesday night showed very clearly that the American people do not want forever war. They do not want our military fighting a war, any war, for another country when there is no serious threat to our own country. The elections were a huge rejection of President Trump’s decision to go to war in Iran. The biggest losers were Trump, the war criminal...

Western News Media Propagandists Describe US Bombing Iran As ‘Defensive’

Western News Media Propagandists Describe US Bombing Iran As ‘Defensive’

by | Nov 4, 2026 |

The propagandists of the American press have been uncritically describing recent US airstrikes on Iran as “defensive” despite the US being the clear aggressor in this ongoing conflict, and despite the United States existing on the other side of the planet from Iran. CBS News was the most egregious offender with its headline, “U.S. launches defensive strikes at Iranian targets near Strait of Hormuz.” The title frames it as an objective fact that the attack was defensive in nature, without...
