Did Trump Halt Aid to Ukraine?

Did Trump Halt Aid to Ukraine?

by | Jan 25, 2025 |

Yesterday, there were a number of “headlines” in the US media claiming all foreign aid was stopped—except for Israel and Egypt. But the Pentagon weighed in today denying that it affects Ukraine: “A Pentagon official confirmed that Trump’s executive order freezing foreign aid applies only to development programs, not security assistance to Ukraine.” -VOA When I spoke with Judge Napolitano and Nima today, I had not seen these reports. However, while Trump’s order does not curtail security...

Saved from the Terror of TikTok

Saved from the Terror of TikTok

by | Jan 25, 2025 |

Thank goodness that our heroes in Congress and the Supreme Court have courageously acted to end the scourge of that nefarious Red Chinese conspiracy, TikTok. This evil computer program was designed to mesmerize, corrupt and mislead America’s youth. Not since the wickedness of Dr. Fu Manchu have we seen such a grave threat to the American Republic or Free World. Our children are becoming little Manchurian Candidates thanks to the sinister mind-benders at TikTok. The Yellow plague is upon us –...

Russian Casualties and the Russian Economy — A Memo for President Donald Trump

Russian Casualties and the Russian Economy — A Memo for President Donald Trump

by | Jan 24, 2025 |

Mr. President, I believe that the CIA is providing you inaccurate, false intelligence about Russia’s casualties and the condition of its economy. If you hope to realize your goal of opening negotiations with President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, you must be equipped with the best information available. You have been briefed that Russia has suffered devastating losses — as many as 800,000 casualties — and that Russia’s economy is weak and fragile. Data from open...

Thunder and Blunder on Day One

Thunder and Blunder on Day One

by | Jan 23, 2025 |

Well, the Donald surely did hit the ground thundering, and some right good noise it was— starting with the 1500 + pardons of the J6 offenders. That promise-kept was crucial because it was one big presidential middle finger rebuke to the Giant Lie that the Washington establishment and MSM have been egregiously peddling for the last four years. For crying out loud, it wasn’t an “insurrection” and did not threaten American democracy even a teensy tiny bit. Instead, the January 6th brouhaha was a...

TikTok and the Freedom of Speech

TikTok and the Freedom of Speech

by | Jan 23, 2025 |

“Congress shall make no law ...abridging the freedom of speechor of the press…”--First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution During the oral argument before the Supreme Court in the famous Pentagon Papers case, a fascinating colloquy took place between Justice William O. Douglas and the lawyer for the government. The case was about whether the government could prevent The New York Times and The Washington Post from publishing secret documents that demonstrated that American generals had been...

The Competency Crisis Proliferating The West

The Competency Crisis Proliferating The West

by | Jan 22, 2025 |

The essayist and military strategist, Aurelien, has written a paper entitled: The Strange Defeat (original in French). The “strange defeat” being that of Europe’s “curious” inability to understand Ukraine or its military mechanics. Aurelien highlights the strange lack of realism by which the West has approached the crisis — …and the almost pathological dissociation from the real world that it displays in its words and actions. Yet, even as the situation deteriorates, and the Russian forces...

Euphoria

Teresa and I had the unprecedented privilege to attend the MAHA Inaugural Ball at the Waldorf-Astoria in Washington, D.C. last night, guests of Dr. Eric and Karen Berg. Some 500 revelers converged in one spot to celebrate Trump's victory, but perhaps more importantly, the prospect of RFK Jr. ascending to head the Federal Department of Health and Human Services By a show of hands solicited by Highwire founder and celebrity Del Bigtree, at least 100 attendees were moms--and a few dads--who for...

The Biden Regime Was an Amazing Collection of Criminals

The Biden Regime Was an Amazing Collection of Criminals

by | Jan 21, 2025 |

“In its final hours, the most CORRUPT Administration in American history is covering up Democrats’ trail of criminal activity.” — US Rep. Andrew Clyde  The Criminal-in-Chief in his last criminal act has issued a “preemptive pardon” to 20 criminals. Mass murderer “Covid-vax Fauci” got one and so did the despicable Liz Cheney and all members of the Jan. 6 House Committee that conducted the unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions of American citizens who attended the rally for...

For Inauguration Day, Open Federal Files and Give Truth a Chance

For Inauguration Day, Open Federal Files and Give Truth a Chance

by | Jan 20, 2025 |

Federal agencies classify trillions of pages of documents each year—enough secrets to fill 20 million filing cabinets. Washington politicians and federal agencies routinely blindfold American citizens on the most important and most reckless decisions the government takes. As President Joe Biden told Special Counsel Robert Hur in late 2022, “We over-classify everything.... And 99.9% of it has nothing to do with anything I couldn’t pick up and read out loud to the public.” The change...

Can Trump Fix Our Broken Foreign Policy?

Can Trump Fix Our Broken Foreign Policy?

by | Jan 20, 2025 |

By the time most of you read this column, we will have a new US President. Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated for his second term today at 11:30 AM, Eastern time, and many Americans are hopeful that the disastrous foreign policy of the past four years under Biden will be improved. There is good news and bad news. First the good news. It is no surprise that Trump’s appointees to foreign policy and national security positions are to the person very hawkish on China. However Trump, as he often...

When it Comes to Terrorism, Israel Beats Hamas

When it Comes to Terrorism, Israel Beats Hamas

by | Jan 20, 2025 |

Judge Napolitano asked me a pertinent question today: Why are the persons released by Hamas referred to as hostages and the persons released by Israel as prisoners? I think the answer is simple: Israel and its supporters in the Western media control the narrative. However, if you look at the facts covering the period between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2022, a radically different picture emerges about who is the real terrorist in Israel. I used Perplexity.ai, which is...

Biden’s Sordid Legacy: Ravaged Rights and Liberties

by | Jan 18, 2025 |

Just before he leaves office, President Biden is commuting the prison sentences of 2,500 people who have been convicted of non-violent drug offenses. Biden stated, “This action is an important step toward righting historic wrongs, correcting sentencing disparities, and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their families and communities after spending far too much time behind bars.” Biden’s last-minute drug-war commutations raise several questions. First, why did he...

Israel Against The World – With US Aid

Israel Against The World – With US Aid

by | Jan 17, 2025 |

I once represented a man charged with first-degree murder.  At the preliminary hearing, the courtroom was filled with the family and friends of the victim. When my client was led out of the holding cell, the officer who brought him out leaned over and whispered to me: “Boy, it’s you against the world – you against the world.” Today it’s Israel against the world, aided and abetted by the US due to mega millions in campaign contributions. On Nov. 20, the US cast the only “No” vote in the...

Trump Must Not Flunk His Litmus Test

Trump Must Not Flunk His Litmus Test

by | Jan 17, 2025 |

Trump’s litmus test awaits him on the Oval Office desk.  The litmus test is the pardon for every one of the wrongly indicted and wrongly prosecuted January 6 Trump supporters–which means all of them–who attended the rally and were persecuted for doing so.  If Trump fails to immediately issue a full and unconditional pardon to all, he will lose the support of MAGA Americans. If Trump waits, the Establishment will erode the prospects of pardons. “Don’t embarrass Justice...

Will Trump End Washington’s Democratic Foreign Policy Façade?

Will Trump End Washington’s Democratic Foreign Policy Façade?

by | Jan 17, 2025 |

Donald Trump’s political adversaries have long contended that he is a danger to democracy both at home and abroad. The alleged threat that he poses domestically is symbolized by the riot his supporters waged at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Opponents denounce Trump’s foreign policy views both for being “isolationist” and overly sympathetic to autocrats around the world. Trump’s mere willingness to interact with the latter individuals is deemed to be sufficient evidence of his...

A Switch in Time?

by | Jan 16, 2025 |

When she was a member of the House of Representatives, Tulsi Gabbard was a fierce defender of personal privacy rights protected by the Fourth Amendment. She consistently opposed permitting federal agents to spy on Americans without search warrants, and she consistently voted against the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. Last week, Gabbard, now about to be nominated as Director of National Intelligence -- the head of all known American spying...

Folly of Escalation
