President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are making me feel like I’m smack dab back in the middle of the old Cold War racket — the racket that succeeded in making the US national-security state and its ever-growing army of “defense” contractors a permanent...
One of the defining failures of modern American government has been the steady erosion of Congress's constitutional authority over war. The Constitution grants Congress -- not the president -- the power to declare war. Congress decides to go to war. The president...
Tehran delivered to Washington via Pakistan in early April, a formalized demand for the withdrawal of US combat forces from military bases across the region. It sat in a package alongside the lifting of all sanctions and UN resolutions, the release of Iranian assets...
Over the weekend the Pentagon announced that four more US soldiers have been killed in President Trump’s war on Iran. That brings the total to 17, but many believe the real number of dead US servicemembers is much higher than that. The Pentagon has claimed it has no...
On July 17, NBC News televised portions of a lengthy investigation proving that Israeli military forces had attacked medics at least 116 times in South Lebanon over the last several months. On that same day, Reuters reported that eight people were killed and 20 others...

You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized. —George Orwell, 1984 While Americans remain transfixed by the political circus—cheering for their...
In the 1880s, in a fit of technocratic enthusiasm, the railroad industry hatched an audacious scheme. They would force every town in America to abandon what was called time for all recorded history and instead adopt a new conception. The goal was to make it easier to...
The question recently asked by a federal judge in Miami -- can the president sue an entity in the executive branch of the federal government and benefit from the resolution of that lawsuit? -- seems to beg the question. How could anyone sue an entity he...
Iran’s announcement declaring the MoU dead was quickly followed by a definitive change in Iran’s military tactics. On Tuesday, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Kazem Gharibabadi: ‘The U.S. has not merely ‘violated’ the Memorandum of Understanding. With tonight’s...
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson finalized the Republican plank for the upcoming midterm election. It will not be about affordability, inflation, and the economy. It will not be about Trump’s undeclared war. The position going forward will be about communism. “The...

There is a good thing about having Donald J Trump as president and that is how during a normal week he will say or do a number of incredibly stupid things that make one want to smile or even laugh outright. Unfortunately, however, the fun stops shortly after that...
Despite regularly denouncing the rising socialist menace, President Trump has been pursuing a policy arguably just as, if not more, dangerous to liberty and prosperity as anything proposed by Zohran Mamdani or Bernie Sanders: using government funds to purchase partial...
I am about to speak ill of the dead. Sen. Graham embodies everything wrong and sick about the American political class. And about American foreign policy. A childless and unmarried member of the "boomer" generation, he has advocated over his four decades as a...
If the Art of the Deal fails, threaten them with total destruction. That’s what Trump did Friday night with another irrational post to his Truth Social. 1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to...
