Trump Has Gone Too Far With Threats Against Our Former Military Personnel

Trump Has Gone Too Far With Threats Against Our Former Military Personnel

by | Nov 28, 2025 |

President Donald Trump threatens to hang military officers who have the audacity to tell their troops not to obey unlawful orders. Trump called them ‘traitors’ and suggested they be locked up. The president just crossed the Rubicon. Formerly his language was amusing TV banter. Now, after these threats, he has gone way too far. Americans should be alarmed. I enlisted in the US Army in 1969 to become an infantry officer and served in Vietnam. At the time, I foolishly thought this colonial war...

Thanksgiving and the Constitution

Thanksgiving and the Constitution

by | Nov 28, 2025 |

Government requires make-believe. Make believe that the king is divine, make believe that he can do no wrong or make believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God. Make believe that the people have a voice or make believe that the representatives of the people are the people. Make believe that governors are the servants of the people. Make believe that all men are created equal or make believe that they are not. -- Edmund S. Morgan (1916-2013) What if the government’s true goal is...

The DOJ is Prosecuting a Drug Kingpin, Blah, Blah, Blah

The DOJ is Prosecuting a Drug Kingpin, Blah, Blah, Blah

by | Nov 27, 2025 |

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) was patting itself on the back with gusto last week in publicizing it is prosecuting alleged drug kingpin Zhi Dong Zhang upon his extradition from Mexico. The prosecution is a really big deal in the US government’s effort to win the war on drugs according to the assertions of several government employees in the DOJ press release. In reality, the hoopla is just more “blah, blah, blah” in support of a destructive drug war that continues to cause much...

Ambassador Mike Huckabee Secretly Meets Top Israeli Spy Jonathan Pollard

by | Nov 26, 2025 |

Given the high visibility of the Israeli genocide being carried out in Gaza, for the first time many among the American general public are beginning to ask why a rich country like Israel should be getting billions of dollars from the United States taxpayer to pay for waging its war when many Americans are struggling. Inevitably, of course, the press coverage of the questions being asked about the cash flow and what is playing out in Gaza have failed to discuss the real magnitude of the “aid,”...

Giving Thanks for Our Blessings Means Saying ‘No Thanks’ to Police State Tyranny

“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands…for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.”—Daniel Webster We find ourselves approaching that time of year when, as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln proclaimed, we’re supposed to give thanks as a nation and as individuals for our safety and our freedoms. It’s not an easy undertaking. The contrast between George Washington’s first Thanksgiving...

Rubio Neo-conned Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan

Rubio Neo-conned Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan

by | Nov 25, 2025 |

Lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas; lie down with neocons, you wake up with wars.-Me So goes President Trump's 28 point peace plan to end the Russia/Ukraine war. Revealed at the end of last week, the plan initially received a cautious but cautiously optimistic reception in Moscow. It was hardly a dramatic tilt toward the Russian position. Many of the plan's points ranged from the implausible to the bizarre. For example the idea that President Trump would be crowned some sort of "peace...

A Real Ukraine Peace Plan

A Real Ukraine Peace Plan

by | Nov 25, 2025 |

Last week’s surprise release of a draft Ukraine war peace plan has raised hopes that the nearly three-year bloody conflict may finally come to an end. Ukraine has suffered horrible losses that may change the demographics of that country for decades to come. If this peace plan can be negotiated in a way that satisfies all sides and the guns finally go silent, I will be the first to cheer. However, the continued failure to understand the nature and origin of the current conflict leaves me...

Netanyahu’s 2024 Diary Reveals Frequent Meetings and Calls With Sen. Lindsey Graham

Netanyahu’s 2024 Diary Reveals Frequent Meetings and Calls With Sen. Lindsey Graham

by | Nov 25, 2025 |

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 2024 diary reveals that he spoke frequently with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who was working at the time to ensure the US continued providing unconditional military aid to Israel to support its genocidal campaign in Gaza. According to Haaretz, the diary, published by the Israeli non-profit Hatzlacha, shows that Netanyahu held seven meetings and nine phone calls with the South Carolina senator in 2024. What was discussed...

Trump Administration is Letting Europe Kill Its Proposed Russia/Ukrainian Peace Plan

Trump Administration is Letting Europe Kill Its Proposed Russia/Ukrainian Peace Plan

by | Nov 25, 2025 |

Negotiations between the US, Ukraine and Europe over the 28-point proposed framework reportedly has produced agreement on 19-points, which will be presented at sometime in the near future to the Russians. However, despite a ton of positive spin coming out of Geneva (where the talks were held) the actual substance of the supposed agreement is a dumpster fire. The first point of confusion is the authorship of the 28-point plan. The Washington Post reported on Monday that: Rubio...

War with Venezuela Won’t Solve America’s Economic Woes

In April 1939, American unemployment reached 20.7 percent. For Henry Morgenthau Jr., Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Secretary of the Treasury, this was bad news. In a private meeting he confessed to two senior congressmen: “We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work… After eight years of this administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started. And an enormous debt to boot.”  Today, Americans know how the Great Depression ended. It ended with the onset...

Europe Barks Back: Riposte to Trump Peace Plan is DOA

Europe Barks Back: Riposte to Trump Peace Plan is DOA

by | Nov 23, 2025 |

Europe’s “peace plan” is pure fan fiction: unlimited Ukrainian army, NATO doors wide open, foreign troops invited in, sanctions snapped on and off like Christmas lights — and not one inch of territory ceded. In other words, the exact blueprint that created the war… now repackaged as the path to end it. And still, not a single EU leader has the courage to say this to Trump’s face. The Europeans have finally placed their “rival plan” on the table and it reads like a suicide pact masquerading as...

On Tuesday the 18th November someone ‘leaked’ to Axios reporter Barak Ravid who then wrote the first story of Trump’s new plan for Ukraine. Scoop: U.S. secretly drafting new plan to end Ukraine war The plan’s 28 points fall into four general buckets, sources tell Axios: peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, security in Europe, and...

Mexico’s ‘Gen Z rebellion’ exposed as viral right-wing plot

Mexico’s ‘Gen Z rebellion’ exposed as viral right-wing plot

by , | Nov 21, 2025 |

Violent demonstrations which erupted in over 50 cities across Mexico on November 15 were secretly financed and coordinated by an international right-wing network and amplified by bot networks, a new report by public fact-checking platform Infodemia has concluded. Those findings were amplified by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has questioned what role Mexico’s cartel-linked opposition parties and foreign meddling may have played in inflaming so-called “Gen Z” protests on November 15....

Legal Nonsense to Justify Non-Judicial Killings

Legal Nonsense to Justify Non-Judicial Killings

by | Nov 20, 2025 |

Many years ago, when I was practicing law in Texas, I learned that there were, generally speaking, two types of lawyers when it came to being asked for a legal opinion by a client who wished to pursue a certain course of action. The first type of lawyer would carefully research the issue and give his honest, independent-minded opinion as to the legality of the proposed action, even if it wasn’t what the client wanted to hear. That type of lawyer had integrity and would not compromise his legal...

What the Founders Feared

What the Founders Feared

“The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.” -- James Madison (1751-1836) America today would terrify the Founding Fathers. Armed troops roam the streets of major cities, masked government agents arrest people without probable cause and disrupt the public speech that the president hates and fears, and the president kills foreigners on the high seas whom he says might commit crimes should their small speedboats miraculously make it 1,500...

Ukraine SitRep – Power Play In Kiev And Chaos At The Front

The situation in Ukraine is becoming even more complicated. The war on the frontline is going bad for Ukraine as is the war on infrastructure deep behind the contact line. A corruption scandal is used to neuter President Zelenski. New power structures are set to evolve to further the execution of the war. President Trump is attempting to impose another peace effort while Europe finds that it lacks the money to finance Ukraine and the war. There are at least seven cities which are falling or...
