Ukraine Reportedly Working Frantically to Disrupt Putin and Trump Summit

Ukraine Reportedly Working Frantically to Disrupt Putin and Trump Summit

by | Aug 13, 2025 |

Let’s start with a very interesting post from Joe Tuzara’s Substack. I don’t know if this is true because I have not found any other media source reporting on it, and there are some problems with the details reported. Here is the claim: White Hats on Sunday killed a Ukrainian assassin in Wasilla, Alaska, five days before President Trump is scheduled to meet with Vladimir Putin at a currently undisclosed venue in The Last Frontier. At approximately 10:00 p.m., soldiers from the 10th...

Newsflash: Governments Lie

Newsflash: Governments Lie

by | Aug 11, 2025 |

Bureau of Labor Statistics head Dr. Erika McEntarfer is one of the latest persons President Trump has told “you’re fired.” President Trump said this month that he fired Dr. McEntarfer because the president believed she manipulated jobs data. Manipulations, he stated, include the updated May and June BLS numbers showing the U.S. economy created 258,000 fewer jobs than originally reported, as well as the weaker than expected July jobs report. All of this, the president suggested, was designed to...

Israel Is Not an Ally—It’s a Liability

Israel Is Not an Ally—It’s a Liability

by | Aug 11, 2025 |

“My people are starting to hate Israel.” That’s what President Donald Trump reportedly told a prominent Jewish donor recently. His remark wasn’t just a political aside; it was a warning. As images of starvation and devastation from Gaza flood American screens, even Trump has privately acknowledged the reality of “real starvation.” A shift is underway, and it is reshaping the foundations of American politics and foreign policy. Once-unquestioning support for Israel on the...

Has Putin Learned the Lessons of the Battle of Debaltseve and Minsk II?

Has Putin Learned the Lessons of the Battle of Debaltseve and Minsk II?

by | Aug 10, 2025 |

I will answer my question right up front: Yes! The reaction of the West, especially that of Donald Trump, to Russia’s current offensive all along the line of contact, is reminiscent of the panic that seized the West in 2015 following Ukraine’s loss in the Battle of Debaltseve. That battle came about in part because of the failure of Minsk I, and was the impetus for Minsk II. So what does this have to do with the current situation in Ukraine? I believe that the primary...

How Ron Paul Changed the World

How Ron Paul Changed the World

by | Aug 9, 2025 |

I remember like yesterday when Dr. Paul called me into his Member office in 203 Cannon with a draft of his famous "What If" speech. He had written it in his own hand and he asked me to go over it and clean it up a bit. Not unusual for how he writes: from the heart. And afterward I spent a good deal of time in his office with a stopwatch making sure he could deliver it under the five minute rule. Shuffling the papers. What do we have to cut. Which paragraph could be spoken a bit faster. I knew...

While Trump Talks Peace, is the US Setting the Stage for More War?

While Trump Talks Peace, is the US Setting the Stage for More War?

by | Aug 9, 2025 |

Trump and a raft of pundits and US intelligence officials continue to operate on a set of false assumptions and delusional beliefs about Russia and the war in Ukraine. Sy Hersh is out with a new article, and the quotes from his source (or sources) in the Trump administration illustrate this. The article is titled, WILL TRUMP MEET PUTIN? As of now, the answer is, yes. The meeting is set for next Friday in Alaska. I want to focus on four paragraphs from Sy’s piece that...

Theft of a Nation: How the Deep State Swamp Is Stealing the People’s Power

Theft of a Nation: How the Deep State Swamp Is Stealing the People’s Power

by | Aug 8, 2025 |

What on earth is happening to this country? How, over the course of 250 years, did we go from prizing self-government to allowing a corrupt, self-serving ruling elite to dominate us with terror campaigns, brute force, and psychological warfare? Don’t be fooled: the madness, mayhem and malice unfolding in America is not politics as usual. It’s not partisan hardball. It’s not bureaucratic overreach. It’s theft in the gravest sense imaginable: the theft of our nation, the theft of our sovereignty...

The Runaway Texas Democrats

The Runaway Texas Democrats

by | Aug 7, 2025 |

“The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”-- Ninth Amendment to the US Constitution When the Texas legislature decided to engage in the reapportionment of congressional districts in the middle of this summer -- having just done so in 2020, in response to the nationwide census that year -- the Democrats in the lower house decided that the only way to prevent this was to leave the state and thereby deny the...

Trump is Taunting India But is an Emperor Without Clothes

Trump is Taunting India But is an Emperor Without Clothes

by | Aug 7, 2025 |

The American Nobel laureate Pearl S. Buck handed down to the Nobel-aspirant American president Donald Trump a golden maxim but he seems oblivious of it — although his life is made of a surfeit of fiction. She wrote in her gripping historical novel The Living Reed: A Novel of Korea, “It is easy to destroy but hard to create. Remember that, when you want to destroy something.” Trump tore up two sacred covenants during his first presidency in 2018 out of sheer petulance or plain arrogance —...

Starving Little Children Create Global Outrage

Starving Little Children Create Global Outrage

by | Aug 6, 2025 |

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 months later, at her death, she was skin and bones with legs thinner than an ordinary pencil. My second thought, though, was that I wished nobody had had to see those photos, because I wish neither she nor anyone else had starved...

Climbing Aboard the Titanic: Trump’s New Ukraine Policy

Climbing Aboard the Titanic: Trump’s New Ukraine Policy

by | Aug 6, 2025 |

When Donald Trump entered the White House for his second term as president, he had an excellent opportunity to extricate the United States from the quagmire war between Russia and Ukraine.  His instincts–that continued involvement in that conflict was not in America’s best interests—were sound.  Indeed, he signaled throughout the 2024 presidential campaign that he intended to terminate military and financial aid to Kyiv as soon as possible.  Most of his MAGA supporters seemed to...

Russophrenia: the West’s Favorite Delusion about Russia

Russophrenia: the West’s Favorite Delusion about Russia

by | Aug 6, 2025 |

There’s a peculiar affliction that’s gripped the Western commentariat for decades now. I first diagnosed it in June 2015 and gave it a name: Russophrenia. The tell-tale sign? That deep-set conviction that Russia’s about to keel over economically—then somehow rise from the wreckage to take Brussels by breakfast. In those ten years, the condition’s only become more widespread—like a political variant of Covid, except there’s no PCR tests, and the worst sufferers have column inches....

The Secondary Sanctions Squeeze

The Secondary Sanctions Squeeze

by | Aug 6, 2025 |

US President Donald Trump is now largely following his predecessors hostile policy towards Russia. If the war in Ukraine continues on its current path Russia will end it with an outright victory. The US and its European vassals are trying to impose a ceasefire to prevent that. It would give time to rebuild the Ukrainian army and to restart the war at a more convenient time. But Russia won't budge until its war aims are met. A hoped for countermeasure is to pressure Russia's oil customers, to...

A Further US Attack on Iran Would be Pointless Kabuki

A Further US Attack on Iran Would be Pointless Kabuki

by | Aug 5, 2025 |

A US President, beset by the Epstein story that refuses to lie down and die, and under pressure from domestic hawks because of a visibly collapsing Ukraine, has been letting off a blunderbuss of geo-political threats across the board: Firstly, and principally, at Russia; but secondly at Iran: Iran is so nasty, they’re so nasty in their statements. They got hit. We cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons. They are still talking about uranium enrichment. Who talks like that? It’s so stupid. We...

Cold War 2.0 Heats Up

by | Aug 4, 2025 |

Last week the nuclear rhetoric between the US and Russia made some of us feel like we were transported back to 1962. Back then, Soviet moves to place nuclear-capable missiles 90 miles off our coast in Cuba led to the greatest crisis of the Cold War. The United States and its president, John F. Kennedy, could not tolerate such weapons placed by a hostile power on its doorstep and the world only knew years later how close we were to nuclear war. Thankfully both Khrushchev and Kennedy backed down...

Super PAC Targeting Massie Funded By Three Israel-Backing Billionaires

Super PAC Targeting Massie Funded By Three Israel-Backing Billionaires

by | Aug 4, 2025 |

Though it sports a Kentucky- and MAGA-branded name, the new Super PAC launched solely to support a primary challenge against popular Republican Congressman Thomas Massie is funded entirely by three Israel-backing billionaires from Nevada, New York and Florida, according to disclosure filings posted on Thursday.  The super PAC was launched in June, just days after President Trump threw a social media tantrum over Massie's condemnation of Trump's commitment of US...
