I’ve had it out for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Army General Mark Milley, of late. My dislike for the man might even constitute an intellectual blind spot. Count me guilty as charged. I’ve mistrusted this character – who brilliantly weaves both plainspoken soldier’s bluster with a veneer of intellectualism – ever since he addressed the West Point faculty, of which I was then a member, back in 2014. His basic thesis: the cadets, the army as a whole, needed to get back to the basics of war-fighting, and avoid the distraction of "too much" scholarly diversion. Milley, unlike most army chiefs, didn’t attend West Point himself. No doubt some ...

Warren Says She's Willing To Ban Construction of New Homes in America Warren Would Set This Rule During Her Authoritarian Administration Volume 90% By C. Douglas Golden Published January 12, 2020 at 12:34am If your home isn’t carbon neutral, Elizabeth Warren might not let you build it. And if that means no new homes get built, she’s OK with that. In an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday, the Massachusetts senator and fading presidential candidate talked about her Thunberg-lite plan to help end climate change. (Climate crisis? Catastrophe? What are we going with these days?) During her appearance, Warren was asked what she’d do ...

They fought for home and family, which was preferable to professional mercenaries only in it for the emperor's spoils. Killing for the Republic: Citizen Soldiers and the Roman Way of War, Steele Brand, Johns Hopkins University Press, 370 pages Steele Brand is a historian who pays not even lip service to historical determinism. The Roman Republic collapsed, Brand says, because of deliberate choices made by “grasping, ambitious and amoral” leaders who took advantage of a debased “culture” that became more “perfectly suited to autocracy” than to freedom. Brand’s book should be read with care by Americans as our republic enters its twilight, as the ...
Pompeo: I Lied About Soleimani 'Imminent Attacks'

Trump’s neoconservative Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, is a man unafraid to admit to being a liar. In fact he seems to revel in his ability to lie to the American people. Remember just a week ago when Pompeo told us that the US absolutely HAD to send in a drone to assassinate Iran’s top general, Qassim Soleimani, while he was in Iraq on a peace mission because he was planning “imminent attacks” on US personnel and interests in the Middle East. These claims were crafted to blunt any criticism of the blatantly illegal act of killing a top military officer of a country with which you are not at war in a third country (which forbade the attack on its soil) with which ...
Plan E?

If the predictable election of 2016 fails to deliver the controllable neoconservative president, if a pseudo-McCarthyite campaign against an economically recovering and energy-independent Russia fails again, if putting your own guys in the National Security Council also fails, and if an impeachment seems likewise doomed to peter out, what do you have left? If you are a war-whoring, petrodollar-preserving, rapture-ready, neoconservative globalist…. well, you’re in luck! President Pence is ready to step in. The beauty of Plan E, the fifth backup, is very precious. The very failures of previous attempts to amend the 2016 election – and stop Trump’s early promises to put ...

In the United States the criminal justice (sic) system is itself not subject to law. We see immunity to law continually as police commit felonies against citizens and even murder children and walk away free. We see it all the time when prosecutors conduct political prosecutions and when they prosecute the innocent in order to build their conviction record. We see it when judges fail to prevent prosecutors from withholding exculpatory evidence and bribing witnesses and when judges accept coerced plea deals that deprive the defendant of a jury trial. We just saw it again when federal prosecutors recommended a six month prison sentence for Lt. Gen. Flynn, the former head of the Defense ...
A Lawless Political Assassination

"America … goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy." ~ President John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) Last week, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to invade a then-friendly country without the knowledge or consent of its government and assassinate a visiting foreign government official. The victim was the head of Iran’s military and intelligence. The formerly friendly country is Iraq. The killing of the general and his companions was carried out by the use of an unmanned drone. The general was not engaged in an act of violence at the time he was killed, nor were any of his companions. They were driving on a public highway in a van. The ...

Conservative author Ann Coulter bemoaned President Donald Trump’s escalation of tensions with Iran in a tweet Monday, saying that his supporters thought he would be “different.” “All Republican presidents run on keeping us out of war, as Eisenhower, Nixon,” Coulter wrote. “Reagan actually did. Then, they start wars. We thought Trump was different.” Coulter has frequently criticized Trump in the last year, primarily attacking him for not building the border wall quickly enough.

Military sources say the recent strikes against Iran wouldn't have happened under the former secretary's watch. In January of 2017, while awaiting Senate confirmation as Donald Trump’s secretary of defense, retired Marine General James Mattis was warned about the new president in a telephone call from Democratic Congressman Adam Smith. “I called him and said, ‘Trump has no idea what he’s doing, but isn’t afraid to do it,” Smith recounted, then explained that he warned Mattis that Trump’s closest advisers were likely to feed the new president’s worst instincts. “You’re across the river, and they’re across the hall,” ...

President Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told us the US had to assassinate Maj. Gen. Qassim Soleimani last week because he was planning “Imminent attacks” on US citizens. I don’t believe them. Why not? Because Trump and the neocons – like Pompeo – have been lying about Iran for the past three years in an effort to whip up enough support for a US attack. From the phony justification to get out of the Iran nuclear deal, to blaming Yemen on Iran, to blaming Iran for an attack on Saudi oil facilities, the US Administration has fed us a steady stream of lies for three years because they are obsessed with Iran. And before Trump’s obsession with ...

Hillary Clinton’s new job could mean she leaves the United States forever Since losing to President Trump in 2016, Hillary Clinton’s life has been in ruin. She has been desperately looking for influence, only to be ignored. And she just took a new job that could mean she leaves the United States forever. Hillary Clinton had everything riding on being President of the United States right now. So now that it’s clear she will never serve in political office again, she is desperately looking for anything else to do. She tried becoming an author, only for her book to flop to the point that she was doing book signings in grocery store milk aisles. That’s why she is now ...

Trump Sanctions Have Cost Iran Billions More Than Obama Gave Them for the Nuclear Deal Volume 90% By Joe Saunders Published January 1, 2020 at 3:46pm Donald Trump is hitting Iran where it hurts. For 40 years, the murderous mullahs who lead the Islamic Republic have never needed much of a reason to hate an American president. Even milk Jimmy Carter — a man whose presidency is a byword for American weakness — was hated by the ayatollahs who took over the country after the revolution of 1979. But as Bloomberg reported Tuesday, the tyrants of Tehran have some especially good reasons to detest the current president: About $50 billion worth, and that’s likely to keep ...

President Trump has been steadfastly assuring the world that the United States government does not wish to start the war it has already started by assassinating Iran’s top general. “We are a peace-loving nation and my administration remains firmly committed to establishing peace and harmony among the nations in the world,” Trump said in a speech at his luxury Mar-a-Lago getaway on Friday. “We do not seek war, we do not seek nation-building, we do not seek regime change, but as president I will never hesitate to defend the safety of the American people.” “We took action last night to stop a war.

Mega-billionaire Michael Bloomberg is trying to buy the Democratic nomination. This much is clear by the fact that he’s already on pace to outspend President Obama’s entire 2012 run by Super Tuesday, and he’s only been in the race for five weeks. To win the nomination, he doesn’t have to convince a majority of voters. He simply has to convince a majority of delegates and superdelegates thanks to the new rules set forth by the DNC. The outrageous ad buys in Super Tuesday states is intended to send a message. That message is supposed to target voters, of course, but that’s just to get him qualified. He doesn’t need to win many states. In fact, as long as he ...

(Remo Casilli/Reuters) I enjoyed the dueling articles by Michael Brendan Dougherty and Ramesh Ponnuru on whether President Trump should have been impeached. Ramesh says yes, Michael no. If I’m reading him right, Michael agrees with Ramesh that Trump is an example of a president who “uses his office to encourage foreign governments to investigate his political opponents” (I’m quoting Ramesh) and that this is an impeachable offense. In thinking this ...

But they were unwilling to pursue all legal remedies to compel their testimony. Pelosi and Chuck Schumer claim they just want a “fair” trial. ...

Whenever I write anything negative about the Republicans, I invariably get bombarded with e-mails asking me why I never write something critical of the Democrats. Well, first of all, I do write things critical of Democrats. Last month I wrote an article critical of Democrats titled “Drugs, Dogs, and Democrats.” And just this month, in an article about how bad the Republicans are, I stated why it is that Democrats are worse than horrible. Secondly, because the Democratic Party is pure evil, and proudly so, we never have to worry about Democrats using libertarian rhetoric to deceive the electorate. Republicans, on the other hand, often recite the conservative mantra of limited ...
