It’s yet another symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome As news of the statement by the North Korean vice minister for foreign affairs Kim Kye Gwan spread, the usual suspects could hardly contain their glee: Trump’s vaunted Korean peace initiative had been a fraud all along! The summit was off! The North Koreans had been faking it, and Mr. Art of the Deal had been taken for a ride! Hurrah! Hurray! From Nicholas Kristof to Bill Kristol, the celebration was loud and the Twitterverse resounded with unrestrained gloating: finally the President’s enemies had earned the right to say “We told you so!” Or so they thought. There’s just one problem, however: the ...

President Trump announcing the US’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement in front of a portrait of George Washington in the White House, May 8, 2018 I had no reason to be suspicious. I receive dozens of media requests a week and this one was no different. Last summer, I received an email from someone who said that he was a journalist—from an outlet I hadn’t heard of before—and that he wanted to ask a few questions about the Iran nuclear deal. At the time, my book on the subject, Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran, and the Triumph of Diplomacy, had just appeared. I had no idea that the man in question was working for Black Cube, a private Israeli intelligence firm now ...

[Journal of Libertarian Studies 15, Number 1 (2000)] Modern history is nothing but an inventory of bankruptcy declarations. —Nicolas Gomez Davila I Monarchy is a form of government not well understood in North America. To many people in that part of the world, monarchy seems to be a totally obsolete, even childish, institution. The surviving monarchies, after all, might still play a symbolic or even a psychological role, but not a decisive political role. As a rationalist and a liberal (in the worldwide sense rather than in the American sense), I am also a monarchist who realizes that monarchy, combined with Christianity and Antiquity, was responsible for the rise and flowering of ...

Diamond and Silk Fire Back After Whoopi Goldberg Suggests Trump Be Waterboarded By Joe Saunders May 11, 2018 at 1:23pm Whoopi Goldberg might be rich and famous, but when it comes to Diamond and Silk, she’s just not in the same class. The two North Carolina sisters, also known as Lynette Hardaway (Diamond) and Rochelle Richardson (Silk), are two of President Donald Trump’s most outspoken supporters among African-Americans in public life, and they proved it again in a Friday interview on “Fox & Friends.” And Whoopi didn’t stand a chance. The sisters were responding to Goldberg’s suggestion on ABC’s “The View’ on Thursday that Trump ...
US to Iran, North Korea: We Get Nuclear Weapons and You Don’t

Lost in the debate over Trump’s announcement Tuesday that his administration planned to walk away from an agreement limiting Iran’s nuclear ambitions is a fundamental question: If the U.S. has nuclear weapons, why can’t Iran or North Korea or yes, even Brazil possess their own? WASHINGTON — The United States’ invasion of Iraq was but a few months away when Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva — or Lula, as he is commonly known — was sworn in as president of Brazil, Latin America’s largest country. Big things were expected of the plain-spoken former lathe-operator who’d lost a pinky finger in a showdown with a hydraulic press and who promoted a ...

Late last week, a federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, questioned the authority of special counsel Robert Mueller to seek an indictment and pursue the prosecution of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort for alleged financial crimes that, according to the indictment, began and ended well before Donald Trump ran for president. Mueller was appointed special counsel by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein because of allegations that Rosenstein accepted of a conspiracy by members of the Trump campaign to accept assistance from a foreign person, entity or government, which is a felony. The application by Manafort’s lawyers before Judge T.S. Ellis III was actually a motion to ...

The Obama Administration’s Uranium One Scandal By Andrew C. McCarthy October 21, 2017 8:00 AM Secretary of State Clinton with President Obama at a Cabinet meeting in 2012. (Reuters photo: Larry Downing) Not only the Clintons are implicated in a uranium deal with the Russians that compromised national-security interests. L et’s put the Uranium One scandal in perspective: The cool half-million bucks the Putin regime funneled to Bill Clinton was five times the amount it spent on those Facebook ads — the ones the media-Democrat complex ludicrously suggests swung the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump. The Facebook-ad buy, which started in June 2015 — before ...

“After a while, Samson said to the boy who was leading him: “Take me up to the front of the temple, so that I may stand by one of the pillars, and lean against it.” And while Samson stood between the two pillars, he prayed. Then he placed one arm around the pillar on one side, and the other arm around the pillar on the other side; and he said: “Let me die with the Philistines.” And he bowed forward with all his might, and pulled the pillars over with him, bringing down the roof and all upon it upon those that were under it. Samson himself was among the dead; but in his death he killed more of the Philistines than he had killed during his life. There were deep ...

The President may surprise everyone – again The Israeli propaganda machine is working overtime in the run-up to the May deadline for Trump’s decision on recertifying the Iran deal. So what did all that buildup to Netanyahu’s big announcement amount to? Less than nothing, i.e., documents that prove what we already knew – that Iran did have a nuclear program prior to 2003. As our own intelligence agencies long ago concluded, they discontinued it and haven’t restarted it since then. Oh, but then why did the Iranians keep all these thousands of documents, the Israelis ask. Doesn’t this in itself portend a future weaponization program? Well, no, it ...
New Bipartisan Bill Could Give Any President the Power to Imprison U.S. Citizens in Military Detention Forever

One of the most outrageous acts of Barack Obama’s presidency was his failure to veto the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012. The fiscal year 2012 NDAA included provisions that appeared to both codify and expand a power the executive branch had previously claimed to possess — namely, the power to hold individuals, including U.S. citizens, in military detention indefinitely — based on the Authorization to Use Military Force passed by Congress three days after 9/11. The New York Times warned that the bill could “give future presidents the authority to throw American citizens into prison for life without charges or a trial.” Not surprisingly, ...

A wonderful, joyful day, a jubilant summit! On the bloody 38th parallel, for the first time in many years, the two Koreans met, the leaders of the two Korean states. There were affable smiles and a spontaneous brief and unscripted visit of the southern president to the northern country, and then the northern one – to the southern one. Kim led his colleague over the concrete lump marking the border of two worlds. Now there are hopes of getting out of the impasse into which the Koreans were driven, and on the horizon – the hope of the two states’ reunification. Only a few weeks ago, President Trump had threatened to erase North Korea from the face of the earth and kill tens ...

An array of former intelligence and other government officials signed a letter to the Senate intelligence committee in support of Gina Haspel, the nominee for CIA director. Haspel, who is currently the deputy CIA director, was briefly in charge of a black site prison in Thailand during President George W. Bush’s administration. She helped destroy evidence to cover up torture. Agency personnel nicknamed her “Bloody Gina.” The officials signed on to the letter make up a veritable who’s who of individuals who escaped accountability for their actions in the Bush administration. They also include individuals who have developed a reputation as advocates for The ...

Mass protests against Armenian ex-President and newly appointed Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan have been ongoing in the country for the second week straight, with soldiers taking to the streets earlier in the day. “I address you for the last time as a head of state.

I abandon the post of the head of our country,” Serzh Sargsyan said as quoted by his press service. Nikol Pashinyan, the opposition leader, was released earlier today after he had been detained on Sunday after failing to reach any deal in brief talks with ...
Rand Paul Caves on Pompeo

Rand Paul abandoned his opposition to Mike Pompeo’s nomination in exchange for practically nothing: Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) flipped from ‘no’ to ‘yes’ on Mike Pompeo’s nomination to be secretary of state Monday, paving an unexpectedly easy path for the CIA director to win confirmation from the full Senate as soon as this week. Paul’s surprising turnabout on Pompeo came after multiple conversations with President Donald Trump, the Kentucky Republican said, as well as getting what he described as “assurances” that the hawkish nominee sees the war in Iraq as “a mistake” and wants to wind down the U.S. presence in Afghanistan.

The Kentucky Republican said he had received assurances from the White House about Pompeo’s views on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Mike Pompeo won a favorable vote Monday from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after Sen. Rand Paul flipped to endorse him, paving an unexpectedly easy path for the CIA director to win confirmation as secretary of state as soon as this week. Pompeo appeared all but guaranteed to draw an unfavorable recommendation from the committee, with Paul firmly opposed, until the Kentucky Republican opted to vote ‘yes‘ after getting a personal appeal from President Donald Trump. Had Paul not changed his stance, Pompeo was on track to become only the ...

Watters said she is “preaching to a very stupid choir,” reports Fox News. Behar’s comments all stemmed from a recent Tweet Trump sent out last Wednesday about Bashar al-Assad’s regime and Putin’s vow to shoot down any American missile headed towards Syria and she said, “We have gotten to the point in this world now where we have to rely on the sanity of Kim Jong Un ...

Butcher of Damascus. Gasser of children. Baby Killer of Syria. Tool of Moscow. Cruel despot. Monster. These are all names the western media and politicians routinely heap on Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad. He has now become the top Mideast villain, the man we love to hate. As a veteran Mideast watcher, I find all this hard to swallow. Compared to other brutal Mideast leaders, Assad is pretty weak tea. The US/British propaganda effort to paint Assad in blackest colors is having a difficult time. Mideast leaders who toe the US line and make nice to Israel are invariably called ‘statesmen’ or ‘president’ by the American government and its increasingly tame ...

Poll: Impeachment Talk a Losing Topic for Democrats in Midterms By Scott Kelnhofer April 19, 2018 at 9:15am Calls for the impeachment of President Donald Trump have been coming from some Democrats almost since the first weeks of his time in the White House. With the 2018 midterm elections on the horizon, you can bet every Democrat candidate will be using everything the president has done and said against him in their election campaigns. That rhetoric will likely include promises of being on board with any efforts to impeach Trump. Sounds like a logical strategy for a Democrat to use against a Trump-supporting Republican in an election that will likely be a referendum on the ...
