The very first story on the Drudge Report on both April 23 and 24 was headlined with a quote from Bernard Arnault saying if the Iran war was not quickly settled, it could be a “world catastrophe.” I apparently do not keep up with world business as much as I should,...
On Friday, Donald Trump was at it again. He posted on Truth Social a photoshopped picture of his face next to those of the four earlier presidents carved in stone on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. At least he was grinning, not displaying his usual...
In his February 24 State of the Union Speech, United States President Donald Trump claimed gas prices in America were much lower than they actually were. This was part of Trump’s effort to claim credit for an asserted vastly improved economy. Several days later, the...
Pete Hegseth is lying about the US blockade of Iranian ports. On April 12, after JD Vance announced that talks with Iran had failed, Trump declared a naval blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas. CENTCOM clarified that the blockade would be enforced against...
Some fifteen years ago I wrote that western reliance on its lens of secular rationality was no longer adequate as a means to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was becoming obvious — even then — that the future of the region would be one of wars...
Trump assembled his national security team in Washington on Monday afternoon to figure out how to respond to Iran’s latest missive delivered via Pakistan — i.e., end the blockade and then we’ll talk about other issues. The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump opted...
On Thursday, the mentally compromised president of the United States reposted Marc Thiessen’s suggestion for ending the war with Iran. “If there are two factions in Iran, one that wants a deal and one that doesn’t, let’s kill the ones who don’t want a...
Reports of food shortages on naval ships deployed to the Middle East. Video footage of disabled military veterans—some in wheelchairs, others leaning on canes—being zip-tied and dragged out of the Capitol Rotunda for staging a peaceful, anti-war...
We are entering upon a new stage to this war on Iran. It may not be what many expect (especially in financial markets). Yesterday Trump said inter alia that Hormuz was open and that Iran had agreed never to close Hormuz again; that Iran, with the help of the US, has...
Pakistan is trying desperately to hold a new round of talks in Islamabad between the US and Iran. After conflicting statements from the Trump administration, it appears that JD Vance, accompanied by his Zionist watchers — Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner — are headed...
On Friday, April 17, 2026, President Donald Trump posted a flurry of optimistic messages on Truth Social (and referenced in interviews) framing the US-Iran war as largely over or nearing a swift resolution. His claims centered on the reopening of the Strait...
According to Oxford Economics, an independent economic advisory firm, in late March the price of the two main fertilizer ingredients, ammonia and urea, spiked 20% and 50% respectively in response to disruptions in the Persian Gulf. Now that Iran has...
The night before l voted against going to war in Iraq, my sister, Beverly, told me that a Knoxville television station had run a poll and found that in East Tennessee, 74 percent were in favor of going to war, 9 percent were against it, and 17 percent were undecided....
If you set aside your logic and rational thought and listen instead to what Donald Trump and his media echo chamber is saying about the war with Iran you are hearing this: The US has wiped out Iran’s military capabilities. The nuclear program is obliterated. Iran’s...
After threatening to annihilate Iran with bombs, President Trump and the US national-security establishment have decided to do so with their tried and true foreign policy tool of sanctions — or, in this case, they’re calling it for what it is — a blockade, which, as...
President Trump was presented with a great opportunity on Saturday to take the off-ramp from his war on Iran. After threatening Iran that “a whole civilization will die tonight,” Trump managed to get a two week pause in the war with the intervention of the Pakistani...
The temporary cessation of hostilities across West Asia very much hangs in the balance. Originally, there was to be a cessation of military actions across “all fronts” including Lebanon — that being one of the ten Iranian preconditions to negotiations towards a...
During my most recent appearance on Judge Napolitano’s Judging Freedom on Wednesday I expressed the view that the ongoing ceasefire between Washington and Tehran was a scam designed to support Israeli interests in the region and to give both Tel...
President Trump has made clear that American forces will still be "hanging around" the Persian Gulf area with an eye on Iran, while demanding that the Strait of Hormuz be opened to global energy transit once again. Trump has vowed to keep troops...
Here we go again. Trump is sending two Zionists—the real estate developer Steve Witkoff, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and VP J.D. Vance—to Islamabad, Pakistan, this weekend to “engage with the Iranians,” as CNN, soon to be owned by the Ellison...
