“From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.”—Jeremiah 6:13–14 “This is insane. Regime...
Back in 2022, media was reporting on people affixing to gas pumps stickers with a photo of then President Joe Biden pointing toward the gas price display on the gas pumps. The text “I DID THAT!” prominently accompanied the photo on the stickers. People putting the...
Thursday’s diplomatic negotiations (26 Feb) – for all the panglossian noise from mediators and negotiators – confirmed the essential impasse. The US demands presented to Iran were: The complete dismantling of the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites. The transfer...
United States President Donald Trump is coming to resemble more and more the kooky and dangerous characters who led the US into nuclear war in Stanley Kubrick’s film Dr. Strangelove. It is black humor in real life. The craziest example may be President Trump telling...
Unfortunately, President Trump listened to the neocons and Benjamin Netanyahu instead of his MAGA base and other voices of caution as he launched a surprise attack on Iran over the weekend. For the second time in nine months, the US Administration used negotiations...
At 2:30 in the morning February 28, Washington time, a president who once promised to end the forever wars posted an eight-minute video to Truth Social and announced the beginning of a new one. Operation Epic Fury, they called it. Epic. Fury. The marketing department...
So now the die is cast and the United States has joined Israel in an unprovoked attack on a non-threatening Iran to destroy its military capabilities and to bring about regime change. This is a major mis-step that could easily turn out very badly as it is a pointless...

When President Donald Trump first announced that he had ordered the Pentagon to attack fishing boats and speedboats on the high seas which he said carried dangerous drugs destined for willing buyers in the United States, many of us who monitor the government for its...
President Donald Trump, unlike his predecessor in office Joe Biden, talks with reporters quite frequently. In those press conferences and other interactions, Trump makes some misstatements of fact. To an extent it makes sense to cut him some slack regarding...
Donald Trump’s presidential administration has been a big disappointment in several major areas, including the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) prospect of reducing government spending and the America First prospect of the United States government pursuing a...
Here they go again—the war drums on the Potomac are beating so loudly for war against Iran that the CIA stenographers at the NYT have now confidently announced that the next attack will commence this weekend. And yet and yet. Why? The overwhelming fact of life in the...
Having amassed the heaviest US air power in the Middle East since the disastrous 2003 Iraq invasion, President Trump is now considering an initial, limited strike on Iran to force it to bow to the maximalist demands of Israel and the United...
Grand juries in America, operating under rules heavily titled toward prosecutors, tend to acquiesce to just about all requests for indictments. Thus, it is quipped on occasion that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. Grand juries have largely failed to live up...
