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

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?

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...

Accepting the Truth About Ukrainian Casualties is the Only Real Path to Peace

Accepting the Truth About Ukrainian Casualties is the Only Real Path to Peace

by | Jan 16, 2025 |

They say “all wars must end.” Yet how does this actually happen? First, all parties must agree — to go down that path together. Next, they must enter into formal negotiation, which almost always means horse trading, compromise, and accommodation. Finally, and most important, all belligerents must want the war to end. Russia almost certainly wants this. Its minimum territorial objectives are within reach. Moreover, the destruction of Ukrainian military potential — equipment,...

Getting Russia Wrong: A Quarter Century of Putin

Getting Russia Wrong: A Quarter Century of Putin

by | Jan 16, 2025 |

It started out rather differently than we now sometimes imagine it. When Vladimir Putin took over the Russian presidency from Boris Yeltsin 25 years ago, on New Year’s Eve 1999, he was seen as a man with whom Washington could do business.  President Bill Clinton lauded Putin’s accession to the presidency as a “democratic transfer of executive power,” which it certainly was not. Clinton administration officials hailed Putin as “one of [Russia’s] leading reformers” who, according to the New...

Russia’s Defeat of Ukraine’s Army Limits Trump’s Options for a Negotiated Settlement

Russia’s Defeat of Ukraine’s Army Limits Trump’s Options for a Negotiated Settlement

by | Jan 15, 2025 |

Russian war correspondent, Marat Khairullin, has posted a terrific summary about the current status of Russian and Ukrainian forces on the battlefield. He writes: Victory is already in sight. Ukraine has lost the war. This is not even an axiom, but a ready, settled foundation on which the walls of the future building are being poured right now. What is happening on the ground is nothing more than the convulsions of the regime. No one is interested in Ukropia and the Ukies as such – Trump...

Animal Farm Politics: The Deep State Wins Again

Animal Farm Politics: The Deep State Wins Again

by | Jan 15, 2025 |

It cost the American taxpayer $24 million to find out what we knew all along: politics is corrupt. After four years of being subjected to special prosecutor Jack Smith’s dogged investigation into alleged election interference by Donald Trump, the Justice Department has concluded that Trump would have been convicted of breaking the law if only he hadn’t gotten re-elected. In other words, the Deep State wins again. The revelation here is not that Trump broke the law but...

The State of Western Warcraft

by | Jan 15, 2025 |

In early 2023, the head of the US European Command and Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, General Christopher Cavoli, remarked, "precision can beat mass."1 This is true; precision can beat mass. But some countries now have the capability to render Western precision much less precise, both by “hard kill” (kinetic) and by “soft kill” (electronic). More to the point, these countries now possess both precision and mass, whereas the West is left to rely on a degraded version...

Trump, Iran and the Obama Strategic Blueprint

Trump, Iran and the Obama Strategic Blueprint

by | Jan 14, 2025 |

Like a smashed antique clock – with its elaborate cogs, ratchet wheels and innards splayed out from the casing – so the mechanics of the Middle East lie similarly exposed and broken. All the region is in play – Syria, Lebanon, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt and Iran. The original Obama strategic blueprint for containing and balancing the potentially violent energies of West Asia was subsequently handed to Team Biden at the end of the Obama term – and it still clearly bore the Obama imprimatur right up...
