Trump v. The Bureaucracy

Trump v. The Bureaucracy

by | Nov 27, 2024 |

The war has begun. It’s Trump, Elon, Vivek Ramaswamy, and their new Department of Government Efficiency versus the Federal bureaucracy in a no-holds barred cage deathmatch. The first punches have been thrown; who will win? At stake are your tax dollars. U.S. election night 2024 was a somber affair in Europe, as U.S. officials in most European capitals abandoned the usual watch parties. Watch parties used to be a long-standing American diplomatic tradition, held at embassies with invited local...

The Counterinsurgency is ‘On’ – Against Trump’s ‘Storm’

The Counterinsurgency is ‘On’ – Against Trump’s ‘Storm’

by | Nov 26, 2024 |

“The Deep State whispered to Trump: “You cannot withstand the storm.” Trump whispered back: “I am the storm.” The war is on. The Deep State has launched a war of disruption to disable Trump’s “storm.” Last week’s ATACM strike was but one part to an inter-agency counter-insurgency – a political strike directed at Trump; so too are all the inter-agency false narratives attributed to the Trump camp; and so too, the escalating provocations directed at Iran. Be assured the Five Eyes are full...

Divide and Conquer: Political Riptides Threaten to Overwhelm the Nation

Divide and Conquer: Political Riptides Threaten to Overwhelm the Nation

by | Nov 26, 2024 |

Once again we find ourselves approaching that time of year when, as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln proclaimed, we’re supposed to give thanks as a nation and as individuals for our safety and our freedoms. But how do you give thanks for freedoms that are constantly being eroded? How do you express gratitude for one’s safety when the perils posed by the American police state grow more treacherous by the day? How do you come together as a nation in thanksgiving when the...

Will Armageddon Be Joe Biden’s Final Legacy Regarding Russia?

Will Armageddon Be Joe Biden’s Final Legacy Regarding Russia?

by | Nov 25, 2024 |

When the Soviet Union dissolved in late 1991, the world seemed poised for a new, more peaceful era no longer haunted by the fear of a nuclear Armageddon. The principal successor state from the wreckage of the USSR was a noncommunist Russia that was intent on becoming part of the democratic, capitalist West. President George H. W. Bush and his top advisers exercised considerable diplomatic skill managing the twilight years and ultimate demise of the Soviet Union. Their core achievement was to...

Congress’s Jan. 6 Investigation Looks Less and Less Credible

Congress’s Jan. 6 Investigation Looks Less and Less Credible

by | Nov 25, 2024 |

Below is my column in The Hill on new evidence released by the House related to the January 6th riot. The J6 Committee fueled doubts about the official accounts by using only Democratically-appointed members and skewing the evidence. The new information further undermines the narrative pushed by both members and the media. Here is the column: On Jan. 6, 2021, the nation was rocked by the disruption of the certification of Joe Biden as our next president. With Donald Trump set to...

Get the Government out of the Classroom

Get the Government out of the Classroom

by | Nov 25, 2024 |

President-elect Trump has nominated former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education. President-elect Trump promised that, if confirmed, Mrs. McMahon would “spearhead” the effort to “send education back to the states.” This has led some people to wonder if Linda McMahon may be the last Secretary of Education. The Constitution does not give the federal government any role in education. Instead, education is left in the hands of state and local governments and...

Will Trump Go After the War Party

Will Trump Go After the War Party

by | Nov 23, 2024 |

In 54 BC, Marcus Licinius Crassus, a rich, ambitious Roman businessman, got himself named governor of the wealthy province of Syria. Crassus had been sharing power in Rome with Pompey and Julius Caesar. Call him the Donald Trump of his day. Crassus decided to invade neighboring Parthia, which is today Turkey and Iran. At the battle of Carrhae, retreating Persian horse archers loosed arrows over the back of their horses, giving us the literary term for a parting shot, `Parthian shaft.’ The...

House of Representatives Approves Legislation Threatening Nonprofits’ Free Speech

House of Representatives Approves Legislation Threatening Nonprofits’ Free Speech

by | Nov 22, 2024 |

On Thursday, the United States House of Representatives approved legislation that would threaten nonprofit organizations’ exercise of free speech rights. The legislation would accomplish this goal by empowering the US government to selectively clamp down on nonprofits to an extent that targeted organizations may cease to exist. This is all being done in the name of countering terrorism, a trusty standby excuse for the US government exercising authoritarian powers. The House approved the Stop...

Why These New Russian Missiles Are Real Game Changers

Why These New Russian Missiles Are Real Game Changers

by | Nov 22, 2024 |

In response to a U.S. decision to arrange for ballistic missile attacks from Ukraine into Russia, the great magician and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin pulled a rabbit from his hat. Yesterday the six independent war heads of a new intermediate range ballistic missile hit the Yuzhmash missile plant in Dnipro Ukraine. Until now the new missile and its mission profile had been unknown. It is the clear counter to decade long efforts of the U.S. to gain supremacy, especially in...

Expelliarmus!: HBO Delivers Blow Against the Anti-Rowling, Anti-Free Speech Movement

Expelliarmus!: HBO Delivers Blow Against the Anti-Rowling, Anti-Free Speech Movement

by | Nov 22, 2024 |

This week, HBO delivered the corporate version of the Expelliarmus or disarming curse for the long-standing cancel campaign targeting “Harry Potter” creator J.K. Rowling. We have been discussing this campaign against Rowling, a feminist who has opposed transgender policies that she views as inimical to the rights of women. The cancel campaign against Rowling has been extreme and unhinged from blacklisting her books to even barring the playing of Harry Potter games in pubs....

A Week from Hell

A Week from Hell

by | Nov 22, 2024 |

Unfortunately, a machine has not yet been developed that can take one back in time and undo terrible mistakes being made due to lack of appreciation of possible downstream consequences of certain actions. If Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary had been somewhere else other than in Sarajevo back in June 1914 Serbian Gavrilo Princip might never have been able to assassinate him and the European system of military alliances might never have been triggered to start World War I. Going...

This Is How It Begins: The Deep State Wants to Terminate the Constitution

This Is How It Begins: The Deep State Wants to Terminate the Constitution

by | Nov 21, 2024 |

This is how it begins. This is how it always begins, justified in the name of national security. Mass roundups. Raids. Indefinite detentions in concentration camps. Martial law. The erosion of habeas corpus protections. The suspension of the Constitution, at least for select segments of the population. A hierarchy of rights, contingent on whether you belong to a favored political class. This is what you can expect in the not-so-distant future. Once you allow the government to...

The Effects of Israeli Barbarity

The Effects of Israeli Barbarity

by | Nov 21, 2024 |

I could not tell the easy, comforting lie. “No”, I told the woman, her traumatised children clinging to her legs, “I can’t say you are safe here; not one of us is safe. The Israelis are genocidal. But in Lebanon so far, I don’t think they have bombed a school”. I was with one of 67 families, with 215 children, living as refugees in a small school at Ain Rumaila in Southern Beirut. The area borders the evacuated suburb of Dahiya which the Israelis are systematically demolishing, and bombings...

Biden’s Lust for War

Biden’s Lust for War

by | Nov 21, 2024 |

The war in Ukraine is an American war for which the United States government should be ashamed and blamed. It was initiated by President Joe Biden and then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, both of whom advised Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that if he rejected a peace treaty that his own government had freely negotiated and agreed to in 2022 with Russian negotiators, Ukraine could join NATO. The treaty was more than 100 pages in length, each page of which had been initialed by both...

Biden’s Missile Crisis

Biden’s Missile Crisis

by | Nov 20, 2024 |

When President Biden approved the use of supersonic Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike Russia, he placed in jeopardy the national security of the United States, the safety of our troops abroad and violated the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, which provides that only Congress can declare war. Biden has made a decision to insert the U.S. into an unambiguous, escalatory phase, using the territory of Ukraine to attack Russia directly with missiles which can reach 190 miles...

Roadmap to an America First Foreign Policy

Roadmap to an America First Foreign Policy

by | Nov 20, 2024 |

The election of Donald Trump to a second term in the White House, and Republican control of all three branches of government, offers a unique opportunity for the US to completely re-evaluate its globalist foreign policy agenda. Trump’s administration could politically extract the elitist ‘Blob’ and shatter the military industrial complex in the process. This is the peaceful method of change that should be expected of a truly democratic state – regardless of how many political toes find...
