The de-escalation framework that unfolded in the US-Iran Lucerne talks largely stayed true to the original Iranian 10-point plan. Meanwhile, President Trump and Vice-President Vance deliberately muddy the waters, claiming that Iran has already agreed to IAEA...
Newly elected Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va, and her Democratic-controlled state legislature set their sights firmly on the Second Amendment after taking office earlier this year. The Governor signed a litany of bills into law including a ban on the sale and...
If you are a Christian living in the Western United States, you have almost certainly been targeted with pro-Israel, anti-Palestine propaganda, paid for directly by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu. Your searches, location, and internet activity is being monitored...
No week goes by in Washington without another display of Trumpism, i.e. the expressed desire by the president to turn our constitutional republic into an expression of Trump-world that honors and glorifies, as he put it recently, “me.” Trumpean conceit has included...
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan passed away last week at the age of 100. Greenspan chaired the Fed from 1987 through 2006. Despite being a lifelong Republican, Greenspan refused to lower interest rates, though doing so may have helped George H.W. Bush’s...
I blundered on Saturday by failing to check the latest updated terrorist profile before visiting Washington, DC. How was I to know that National Guard troops would be on the lookout for 60ish bicyclists who are too damn curious about algae? I went riding around...
Having illegally attacked Venezuela in an effort to kidnap the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and transport him to the United States to stand trial for supposed violations of US drug laws, US officials have placed themselves in a position in which they are now...
Since its inception, the government of the United States has inexorably exceeded its powers under the Constitution. All three branches have been complicit in a consistent pattern of constitutional indifference. Congress has regulated in areas of governance nowhere...
The Iran-US de-escalation framework has been signed. As always, getting a framework agreed is one thing, but preserving it from disruptive actors or malicious distortion of the text is quite another. Who knows how long it will survive intact? The MoU nonetheless...
Last week started on a positive note with President Donald Trump uncharacteristically declaring that a “memorandum of understanding” (MOU) had been achieved by US and Iranian negotiators assisted by Pakistani and Qatari mediators to suspend military action and begin...
Against the odds, the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the US and Iran appears to be holding, after threats and counter-threats. It may collapse, but it has survived a first round of talks between the two sides in Switzerland over the weekend. President Trump...
The United States Congress, on the very eve of the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, is preparing to formally diminish American independence and sovereignty through a proposed merger and long-term integration of executive...
It should be cold comfort indeed, but the successive inability of one US administration after another to control Israel and the extraordinary passion with which the leaders of Western Europe, Canada and NATO continue to defy the United States to risk thermonuclear...
Charlie Kirk’s media empire and his right-wing activist organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), have come under the control of the Israel-directed forces he spent the last months of his life antagonizing. Erika Kirk now claims her husband supported Israel to the end,...
To quote James Carville, “Its the economy stupid!” On Monday I wrote: So the question we ought to ask is why did Donald Trump blink and accept the proposal that Iran proffered way back in April? I think there are several reasons, but the principal one is that the US...
The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, embraces two value sets. The first is natural rights, and the second is limited government. After 250 years, neither value has survived, and the opposite of each currently prevails in America. Thomas Jefferson drafted...
The American taxpayer has become the cleanup crew for the American Police State. We pay for the constitutional violations. We pay for the wars. We pay for the lawsuits, the settlements, the cover-ups, the damage control, the reconstruction, the overreach,...
During a press conference at the G7 meeting in France US President Donald Trump criticized Israel’s way of waging war against Hizbullah. Video via FOXnews. Partial transcript: I tell you what – Israel is fighting Hizbullah too long and too many people are...
Professor Michael Hudson, in a recent discussion, takes issue with those who speak today of the “decline of the US hegemon.” A decline implies something goes up and down, Hudson says, but it always recovers. “But there’s never been any such thing statistically as a...
