Netanyahu, the Israel Lobby, and warmongers like Mark Levin have put Republicans in danger of losing control of Congress. On August 3, the Drudge Report carried a story that said GOP Senate candidates were now facing surprisingly close races in reliably Republican...
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...
America wants peace. Israel wants war. The great majority of Americans want an end to the war against Iran. The great majority in Congress just want more contributions from the Israel Lobby and its supporters. Now, most members of Congress are really squirming. They...
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,...
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....
Reagan Carney, a really fine young man with whom we go to church, told me a few days ago that the University of Tennessee Young Republicans had a board on which members could express their opinions about the war in Iran. The board had only one question: “Is the Iran...
In October of 2002, I shocked many in my Congressional District and beyond by voting against giving President George W. Bush authorization to use military force in Iraq. The night before that vote, my older sister told me a Knoxville television station had conducted a...
Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has ignored President Trump’s request to stop the bombing of Gaza during negotiations with the leaders of Hamas over the latest peace proposal. It appears that Trump may be changing some of his views and slowly beginning to...
The Democrats are so partisan now and so eager to criticize President Trump on anything he does that they are even attacking him for entering into peace negotiations with Vladimir Putin. They are so desperate that they are even attacking him on things they used to...
On August 16, my wife, Vickie, and I attended a conference at the Dulles Airport Hilton just outside Washington, D.C. It was titled “A Blueprint For Peace” and was hosted by the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. This institute was started by Rep. Paul at...
Today is the 90th birthday of a great man—my friend, Ron Paul. During my 30 years in the U.S. House, I served with almost 1500 other members. To me, Ron Paul was the best. He was a man of great courage and conviction. He never wavered. Every speech he made, every vote...
When I began to think about what I would write about in this week’s column, my first thought was that I hoped everyone saw the gruesome photographs of the tiny five-month-old girl in Gaza who had starved to death. She had weighed six pounds, six ounces at birth. Five...
When I was in Congress, the least popular, least respected members were the biggest publicity seekers – the ones who were the first and quickest to run to the cameras. They were not regarded as serious legislators. Thus, I have not been a big fan of Rep. Marjorie...
President Trump, to his credit, demanded a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Both countries agreed to it. Then, the president became very angry with Israel because, as he said, “As soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of...
For years, Jake Tapper, the leading newsreader for CNN, has been very unfair to and very biased against Republicans in general, and to President Trump in particular. Now, in an attempt to restore some of his lost credibility, he has written a new book with Alex...
As many people know, I have spent most of my waking hours reading – books, newspapers, magazines – for work and pleasure since probably my early teens. Two of my favorite nationally syndicated columnists are now deceased: Charley Reese died in 2013 and Georgie Anne...
The hatred of some in Israel for the people of Gaza – even for little children – is just astounding. If they have even a tiny bit of belief in God, they should pray for forgiveness. Unfortunately, NPR reported last Thursday (May 15) on “deadly airstrikes, killing more...
During the 1988 campaign, George W. Bush came to the Courthouse in Maryville, TN to speak at a rally for his Dad. As we were leaving, I told my friend and later Chief of Staff, Bob Griffitts, “Bob, he is better than his Dad.” When he ran for President in 2000, then...
(Photo: journalist Fatima Hassouna, murdered by Israel) As I sat in church last Sunday, before the service started, I thought maybe I read too much. I wish I had not read about Mohammed Hegazy, a seven-year-old Palestinian boy who was blinded by an Israeli grenade...
On Palm Sunday (April 13), Israeli bombs destroyed the surgery and intensive care sections of the “last fully functional hospital in Gaza City,” according to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation. The hospital was run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem,...
