Trump’s Easter Ultimatum: Open the (Expletive) Strait or Else

Worse than John McCain?

Trump and the Phantom Dead of Iran
Not long ago, Trump and crew claimed the evil mullahs in Iran slaughtered 30,000 of their own citizens. Since that time, there has been a revision. Now Trump insists the number is 45,000. Larger numbers look better when it is the only fabrication that might be...
President Trump Admits the Iran War Offers No Oil-related Benefit for Americans

Are There, or Will There Be, US Negotiations with Iran?

Is Trump Serious About Negotiations with Iran?
I’ll give you my answer up front… NO! Trump’s claims on Monday and Tuesday that the US and Iran are talking is false in my opinion. During previous talks with Iran — including the last round in Geneva on February 26 — the communications were indirect. An Oman...

Is Trump Hitting The Panic Button?
Trump: Open Hormuz Strait or Face Bombed Power Plants
Donald Trump has posted yet another threat to his TruthSocial. If Iran does not open the Hormuz Strait in 48 hours, he will target the country’s power plants. The US has the ability to do this. It did it in Iraq. But Iran is not Iraq. Saddam Hussein was not able to do...
On the Road to Armageddon
I had thought the United States government had hit a new low point last week when the Federal Commission of Fine Arts approved a Semiquincentennial 250th anniversary commemorative 24 karat gold coin featuring President Donald J Trump leaning on his his...
There Is No GOP ‘Civil War’ Over Iran…
The reaction to Joe Kent’s principled, patriotic resignation from the Office of National Intelligence—and the numerous MAGA obituaries that appeared shortly thereafter—seem to share in common the idea that Donald Trump’s decision to go to war on behalf of Israel is...
These Seven Allies Concocted A ‘Hormuz Coalition’ Statement To Placate Trump, Which Failed
We reported earlier that President Trump has again expressed his extreme frustration at lack of direct NATO participation in a plan to open up the Strait of Hormuz. He declared the US has "militarily WON" - and lambasted lack of allied interest in...
