Iran War Is Unfortunately Helping Democratic Socialists And Hurting Republicans

Iran War Is Unfortunately Helping Democratic Socialists And Hurting Republicans

by | Aug 5, 2026 |

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 states like Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa and were behind in Republican-held seats in Texas, Ohio, and North Carolina. On the same day, CBS News reported that the top political prognosticator, Larry Sabato, in his Crystal Ball...

US DOJ relying on anonymous Israeli intel agent to convict US resident of Oct 7 participation

US DOJ relying on anonymous Israeli intel agent to convict US resident of Oct 7 participation

by , | Aug 5, 2026 |

US prosecutors are accusing a legal permanent resident of Louisiana of participating in the October 7 attacks in Israel. Yet their case relies almost entirely on intelligence from Israel which the defendant’s lawyers are unable to see, and an Israeli agent they can not identify. That agent may be Lt. Col. Avi Kalo, who previously testified anonymously in the hyper-politicized, constitutionally questionable Holy Land Foundation trial. The US Department of Justice has accused a 33-year-old...

Call Off the Iran War. Just Walk Away!

Call Off the Iran War. Just Walk Away!

by | Aug 3, 2026 |

After several days of increasing threats against Iran, including social media posts like “FINISH THE JOB!” and “Take the oil. No mercy!,” President Trump has over the weekend called off a planned major escalation in the Middle East. For now. “The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II,” he wrote on his social media account. “Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and...

Was the Drone Attack on US LNG Tanker in Egypt a False Flag?

Was the Drone Attack on US LNG Tanker in Egypt a False Flag?

by | Jul 31, 2026 |

Short answer… I think so. On Wednesday July 29, 2026, at roughly 3:20 pm CET, a drone struck the Energos Winter — a Marshall Islands-flagged floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) owned by US company New Fortress Energy — on its starboard side at Egypt’s Mediterranean port of Damietta, in the northern Nile Delta. The fire spread to a nearby Bermuda-flagged LNG carrier, the Gaslog Salem. Both crews were evacuated, the blaze was brought under control, and...

Why the Blanche Nomination Should Be Rejected

Why the Blanche Nomination Should Be Rejected

by | Jul 30, 2026 |

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is not qualified to be the attorney general of the United States because he has demonstrated a hopeless conflict between the rule of law -- which he has taken an oath to support -- and his sense of personal loyalty to President Donald Trump, whom he represented for several years in a notorious but frivolous criminal case in New York. What to do about a nominee as chief law enforcement officer in the land who has and will not disavow this conflict? Reject...

Washington May Be Learning to Live with Iran, Ukraine and Israel

by | Jul 30, 2026 |

President Donald Trump met with both President Volodymyr Zelenski of Ukraine and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Tuesday in private sessions lacking the usual fanfare, photo ops and press releases. The men were in town to participate in the funeral services for recently departed Senator Lindsey Graham, who was a great friend of and might be described as a co-belligerent with both nations! As of now, little is known regarding exactly what went on during the closed-door meetings,...

Churchill and Trump: The Lions in Winter

Churchill and Trump: The Lions in Winter

by | Jul 29, 2026 |

Winston Churchill is still revered in Britain and by old-generation American conservatives and Make America Great Again (MAGA) patriots alike, as the epitome of an all-wise, brilliantly successful Warlord. The truth was the precise opposite, as the great Anglo-American biographer and historian Nigel Hamilton documents in his classic trilogy of books on President Franklin Roosevelt’s wartime leadership, “The Mantle of Command,” “Commander in Chief” and “War and Peace.” In 1943, with the...

Futile Drug-War Murders

Futile Drug-War Murders

by | Jul 29, 2026 |

The title of an article in the Washington Post says it all: “Deadly U.S. Boat Strikes Have Failed to Curb Cocaine Supply, Pentagon and DEA Officials Say.” Imagine that. Shocking! Who would have ever thought that would be the result of the Pentagon’s murder of more than a hundred innocent people in little boats on the high seas thousands of miles away from American shores? Well, pretty much anyone who has been paying attention to the drug war for the past 50 years. No matter what US...

The War’s Back is Broken

The War’s Back is Broken

by | Jul 28, 2026 |

Trump ordered the US military not to carry out new strikes on Iran Friday night, despite approving earlier a “Gates of Hell massive attack” on Iran. The US has now requested a new temporary ceasefire with Iran and is seeking a return to the collapsed and suspended MoU, with discussions to include Yemen, and with Trump seeking to make AnsarAllah a party to the negotiations. Clearly Trump is angry, and fears that that the war is consuming his Presidency (and his...

Is the Department of War Covering Up the True Extent of US Casualties?

Is the Department of War Covering Up the True Extent of US Casualties?

by | Jul 28, 2026 |

Last Wednesday all the signs were pointing to a desperate action by the Trump administration to launch a ground operation inside Iran ostensibly to seize enriched nuclear material from an Iranian nuclear research facility. The report from the Wall Street Journal noted that US special ops forces were once again being deployed to the region to carry out a raid on a Hardened Deeply Buried Target (aka HDBT). But it also revealed something both disturbing and alarming: the deployment of 150 medics....

A Free Society is an Educated Society

A survey of 2,253 Americans conducted by Morning Consult and the Cato Institute provides some good news but also raises serious concerns about the future. The good news is that the survey indicates 55 percent of Americans believe the Constitution should put firm limits on government power and 58 percent say no political party should be trusted with too much power. However, the survey also indicates that four in ten Americans would approve of a president they voted for “stretching” the...

Getting Away with Murder: Under Trump, the Buck Stops Nowhere

by | Jul 25, 2026 |

Having burned through billions of dollars and depleted critical munitions stockpiles, the Pentagon is running out of money. Our money. According to the Washington Post, the Pentagon is facing an urgent budget shortfall caused largely by the Iran war, with some critical funding accounts expected to run dry within weeks. Training, maintenance and other military priorities are reportedly being squeezed as the government struggles to sustain Trump’s escalating conflict. Once...

Iran warns it will strike UK air base

Iran warns it will strike UK air base

by | Jul 24, 2026 |

The IRGC has warned the United Kingdom it will be targeted if USAF bombers at the RAF Fairford base in Gloucestershire are deployed in operations against Iran. Tasnim reported the IRGC as saying, “any base used to attack Iranian soil is a legitimate target” after Fairford was used by B1B bombers. GB, a British news channel, reported: The warning, distributed through the IRGC’s Telegram channel on Thursday, came after the organisation alleged that American B-1 bombers had flown from...

Reviving the Old Cold War Racket Against Cuba

Reviving the Old Cold War Racket Against Cuba

by | Jul 23, 2026 |

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 feature of American life. The State Department just issued a report that is straight out of the old Cold War playbook. It states that Cuba’s communist regime is behind the democratic socialist movements and radical leftist groups...

The American Presidency and Perpetual War

The American Presidency and Perpetual War

by | Jul 23, 2026 |

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 wages it. Over the past several decades, presidents of both major parties have increasingly treated military intervention as an executive prerogative rather than a congressional requirement. The last six presidents have not reflected...

DeBasification… A Fancy Word for Booting the US Out of the Middle East

DeBasification… A Fancy Word for Booting the US Out of the Middle East

by | Jul 21, 2026 |

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 held overseas, reparations, and Iran’s right to nuclear enrichment. Instead of waiting for the US to agree to the demand, Iran has launched targeted attacks during the past two weeks on key US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi...
