Beware the Ides of March — Are Trump and Netanyahu, Acting in Tandem, Committing Political Suicide?

Beware the Ides of March — Are Trump and Netanyahu, Acting in Tandem, Committing Political Suicide?

by | Mar 18, 2025 |

“Beware the Ides of March” is a famous warning from William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. This day, March 15, marked the midpoint of the month and was significant because it was the day Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BCE. March 15 marked the day that Trump started on the road to war with Iran. I believe that is a fateful decision that will ultimately end any chance of Donald Trump having a successful second term. He committed an act of political suicide in my opinion....

On Saturday, US President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon “to launch a decisive and powerful military operation” against the Houthis of Yemen with “overwhelming lethal force” in the most significant military action of his second term, to date.  The US attacks began on Saturday and continued into Sunday on the Yemeni capital Sanaa and other areas reportedly killing 31 people and wounding 101 so far, most of them children and women.  Such wanton killing of defenceless women...

In current rhetoric about the Ukraine War peace negotiations, a lot's being reported about Crimea. But it's worth questioning how much of it is truthful or accurate.Ukraine says Crimea is an integral part of Ukraine that was taken by force, and wants it back from Russian occupation.At the same time Russia says the transfer away from Ukraine was done fairly by the residents themselves in a referendum. Russia contends the residents voted to attach Crimea to Russia, and that Russia intends to...

President Trump: Stop Bombing Yemen and Exit the Middle East!

President Trump: Stop Bombing Yemen and Exit the Middle East!

by | Mar 17, 2025 |

Over the weekend President Trump ordered a massive military operation against the small country of Yemen. Was Yemen in the process of attacking the United States? No. Did the President in that case go to Congress and seek a declaration of war against the country? No. The fact is, Yemen hadn’t even threatened the United States before the bombs started falling. Last year, candidate Trump strongly criticized the Biden Administration’s obsession with foreign interventionism to the detriment of our...

American Spring? Uphold Freedom of Speech on American Campuses

American Spring? Uphold Freedom of Speech on American Campuses

by | Mar 17, 2025 |

Throughout my political career, I have steadfastly defended the First Amendment, particularly the right to free speech. In 2002, I delivered a speech entitled A Prayer for America, where I challenged the rationale of the PATRIOT Act and questioned actions that infringed upon the constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and protection against unreasonable searches. My commitment to upholding free speech has been a guiding principle throughout my tenure in public service. While a Member of...

The Death of Free Speech in America?

The Death of Free Speech in America?

by | Mar 15, 2025 |

There should be little doubt in anyone’s mind that the “wag the dog” relationship between the United States and Israel has done terrible damage to American institutions and constitutional liberties. The US bipartisan unconditional support of the ongoing Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the world which now despises America’s corrupt political system and its increasing bizarre and out of touch leadership. There were even reports this past...

Five Years Later, We Remember How Politicians Unleashed Covid Tyranny

Five Years Later, We Remember How Politicians Unleashed Covid Tyranny

by | Mar 15, 2025 |

Five years ago, politicians and bureaucrats went berserk and pointlessly ravaged Americans’ freedom. The Covid-19 pandemic provided the pretext to destroy hundreds of thousands of businesses, padlock churches, close down schools, and effectively place hundreds of millions of Americans under house arrest. Despite all the forced sacrifices, most Americans contracted covid and more than a million were listed as dying from the virus. “Pandemic Security Theater Is Self-Destructive, And Won’t Make...

Three Cheers For Rep. Thomas Massie!

Told you so! Donald Trump doesn’t give two hoots about the true agenda that might actually make America freer and more prosperous again. We are referring to the principles of—- peaceful commerce with every nation, entangling alliances with none. minimalist, solvent, constitutional government at home. sound money and market-driven interest rates and asset prices. maximum scope for personal liberty and free markets. decentralized, Federalist arrangements for any necessary functions of the state....

My Weekend in Moscow

My Weekend in Moscow

by | Mar 14, 2025 |

When an invitation from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the renowned Professor Alexander Dugin to visit them in Moscow arrived in my inbox, it was actually the culmination of a series of emails and telephone calls from Russian-American friends giving me a heads up. Still, it startled me. So, last week, I flew to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and from there to Moscow. The sanctions President Joe Biden imposed on Russian persons and businesses -- and kept in place by President...

The US Department of Justice said Thursday that its recently created “Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism” will be heading to four US cities as part of the Trump administration’s broad crackdown on college protests critical of Israel. The DOJ said the task force, led by attorney Leo Terrell, will be visiting the leadership of New York, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles to discuss “their responses to incidents of antisemitism at schools and on college campuses in their cities...

Trump Opts For More War With Russia

Trump Opts For More War With Russia

by | Mar 13, 2025 |

The Trump administration has decided to resume the provision of weapons and intelligence to Ukraine. It is thus aiming at escalating the conflict. The outcome of yesterday's talk between a Ukrainian and a U.S. delegation Saudi Arabia was not completely in favor of the European/Ukrainian idea of a 30 day ceasefire restricted to air and sea attacks. But it opened the desired pathway to prolonging the war. The U.S. asked the Ukrainians to accept a 30 day long ceasefire offer. This would of course...

The Genesis of Sectarian Violence in Syria: The Fall of Assad to US Supported Extremists and the Massacre of Christians and Alawites

The Genesis of Sectarian Violence in Syria: The Fall of Assad to US Supported Extremists and the Massacre of Christians and Alawites

by | Mar 13, 2025 |

While many in Washington claim to defend Christianity and Western values, their policies have led to the systematic annihilation of some of the world's oldest Christian communities. The same politicians who posture as defenders of faith have not just turned a blind eye to the suffering of Christians in the Middle East, from Palestine’s West Bank and Gaza to Lebanon and Syria, they have chosen instead to fund their murderers. U.S. tax dollars funneled through the CIA and USAID, have played a...

When Dissent Becomes a Crime: The War on Political Speech Begins

When Dissent Becomes a Crime: The War on Political Speech Begins

by | Mar 13, 2025 |

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t live in a constitutional republic if you allow the government to act like a police state. You can’t claim to value freedom if you allow the government to operate like a dictatorship. You can’t expect to have your rights respected if you allow the government to treat whomever it pleases with disrespect and an utter disregard for the rule of law. There’s always a boomerang effect. Whatever dangerous practices you allow the government to carry out...

MAGA should embrace Thomas Massie

MAGA should embrace Thomas Massie

Donald Trump managed to get his preferred spending bill passed in the House of Representatives without Thomas Massie. The Kentucky Republican’s was the only vote Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson lost in their bid to send the bill to the Senate and avert a government shutdown on Friday. In the process, though, MAGA subjected one of the Right’s best ambassadors to a fresh round of abuse in a doomed pressure campaign that never had a chance of succeeding. “POTUS is spending his day attacking...

Mr. Trump, you would’ve been lucky to have Dan Davis on your team

by | Mar 12, 2025 |

Earlier today the Jewish Insider magazine ran a story saying that the White House tapped retired Lt. Col. Danny Davis for Deputy Director of National Intelligence, working under the newly confirmed DNI Tulsi Gabbard. It was a hit piece by a pro-Israel platform that primarily focused on Davis's critical views — published only in articles and on his popular podcast — on Gaza and Iran. Within hours, he was informed there would be no job, Responsible Statecraft has confirmed....

The professor at the center of the Columbia University deportation scandal is a former Israeli intelligence official, MintPress News can reveal. Mahmoud Khalil, a recent graduate of the university’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), was abducted by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) Saturday for his role in organizing protests last year against Israel’s attack on Gaza. Khalil’s dean, Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo, head of the School of International and Public Affairs, is a former...
