Following President Trump’s address to the nation on Wednesday about the Iran War, stock markets suffered losses while oil prices rose. The decline in stocks and increase in oil prices reflected disappointment over President Trump’s failure to articulate a plan to end...
This past week was what many Christians regard as Holy Week, starting with celebration of Jesus Christ’s Last Supper on Holy Thursday; mourning Christ’s crucifixion and death on Good Friday; continuing with prayer and church services on Holy Saturday; and concluding...
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...
In his Wednesday evening speech to announce to the American people the continuation and potential intensification of his war against Iran, President Donald Trump conceded that as far as oil is concerned the war will bring no benefit for Americans. Instead, he said he...
The short answer is “no.” Trump was confabulating when he said that he was already in negotiations with “important” Iranians. There is a back history to the US’ “negotiations narrative.” In earlier rounds of “negotiations” centred on the Ukraine conflict, Trump...
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...
Western propaganda machinery – the West’s most powerful strategic weapon – has repeatedly asserted that US forces have been winning a swift and sweeping victory over Iran. In tandem, Israeli intelligence officials are briefing western media saying they see increasing...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Last week, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission threatened to rescind the broadcast licenses of media entities that do not relate events in Iran or Ukraine as the Trump administration would like them to be related. He also attacked The Wall Street...
Reagan Carney, a really fine young man with whom we go to church, told me a few days ago that the University of Tennessee Young Republicans had a board on which members could express their opinions about the war in Iran. The board had only one question: “Is the Iran...
The US-Israeli stand-off air-strike model of waging war is being challenged by a quite different strategic asymmetric war – one first planned by Iran more than 20 years ago. This is important to understand when trying to judge where the war balance sheet truly lies....
