The US lame duck administration is going to any length in an effort to torpedo the looming normalization of Russia-US relations as Donald Trump is preparing for his inaugural speech on January 20. Any method would do, even playing with fire. In an interview with NPR radio station (Morning Edition) aired on Dec. 16, President Obama said the United States will respond to Russian cyberattacks that the intelligence community has concluded were part of an effort to influence the 2016 presidential election. «We need to take action and we will», he warned. The lame duck president has directed US intelligence agencies to conduct an investigation into hacking attacks related to the ...

Trump’s seemingly insane plan to cut regulation actually has a solid track record. President Obama has released the details of his “midnight” regulations, meaning those created between the election and the swearing-in of the next president. If implemented, they will cost about $44 billion, according to Sam Batkins of the conservative American Action Forum. They include everything from environmental standards for vehicles to new rules for educational programs. As strange as it may sound, in the grand scheme of things, $44 billion isn’t that much money. This is the “net present value” of a cost that will be spread out over many years—and we’re a ...

If the millions of my readers were willing to give up the small cost of a 6-pack of beer, we could defeat the evil that rules the West.

TRUMP: I'm a 'smart person,' don't need intelligence briefings every single day

President-elect Donald Trump brushed off concerns that he's not participating in the traditional daily intelligence and national security briefings that presidents hold every day. In a rare post-election interview that aired Sunday, Trump argued for why he did not need to receive regular classified intelligence briefings on national security and foreign affairs, saying he told intelligence officials to only brief him when a situation the intelligence community is monitoring changes. "I get it when I need it," Trump told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace. "I'm, like, a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every ...

Many people are alarmed and concerned that president-elect Donald Trump will undo and dismantle all of President Obama’s accomplishments and hard-won achievements that have benefited the American people for some eight years now. I think, therefore, we ought to recognize and applaud these accomplishments so that we do not forget them or so lightly discard them. President Obama’s great endeavor to bring democracy to Syria has resulted in a catastrophic war that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives. Lest you think this a small feat, bear in mind it took nearly a decade for the Iran-Iraq War to rack up that death toll over almost a decade of scorpions-in-a-bottle fighting. Of ...

President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly fired a member of his transition staff for spreading a fake news story about an alleged child sex ring run by Hillary Clinton. The story led to an armed confrontation at a Washington DC pizzeria. Michael G. Flynn, son of Trump’s national security adviser choice Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, was let go by the president-elect on Tuesday, according to The New York Times. Although it has not been officially confirmed what exactly led to Flynn’s dismissal, the newspaper cited two Trump transition officials who said it had to do with his role in spreading a fake news story which alleged that Hillary Clinton was running a child sex ring from ...

Former New York City mayor and current lobbyist Rudy Giuliani failed his own vetting team’s vetting process for a Secretary of State position and is therefore out of the running for the post, according to a GotNews source familiar with the process. The anonymous source, who is close to Giuliani’s team, told GotNews that Giuliani did “self-vetting” on behalf of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s transition team and hired an outside team himself to conduct the process, but did not meet their criteria. Giuliani, along with Trump-hating failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney, neocon warmonger John Bolton, and classified info leaker David Petraeus, has been named by ...

Trump’s looming showdown with the ‘secret government’

Many incoming presidents learn quickly that the managers of the military, intelligence, and law enforcement departments of our government are largely self-governing, virtually immune from democratic accountability and the checks and balances described in civics books. They make up a second government: The one we elect provides public frontage, but the concealed, unelected one actually defines and manages the nation’s security. Two years ago that’s what I told the Globe when I was asked why programs such as mass surveillance, drone strikes, whistle-blower prosecutions, and unchecked war-making remained virtually unchanged from the Bush administration to the Obama administration. ...
Libertarian Hand-Wringing

It is comical to watch the reaction of some libertarians to Trump’s cabinet appointments. I have never seen such libertarian hand-wringing. It goes without saying that Trump is no libertarian. In fact, I don’t know how he can be classified politically except to say that he is a Trumpite. Trump’s views are all over the map and can change overnight. He has not “betrayed the revolution” or anything to that effect. Did anyone really think that Trump was going to appoint libertarians or libertarian-leaning “good” conservatives to cabinet positions? I would say that any person appointed to head the Dept. of HHS or HUD or Education or Agriculture is bad if their ...

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has been on the warpath when it comes to President-elect Donald Trump’s secretary of state picks. He’s not been one to hold back commentary about former ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton, calling him a “menace,” and vowing that if Trump decided to go with Bolton, the Senator would gather the necessary votes to stop it. -The Blaze As we can see from the above article excerpt, Rand Paul has made strong public comments about Trump’s pick for secretary of state. But he hasn’t been nearly so outspoken about the “fake news” debate. This is especially startling given that his own father has been mentioned as a proponent of fake ...

What do they mean? Before I give an explanation, let’s be sure we all know what an explanation is. An explanation is not a justification. The collapse of education in the US is so severe that many Americans, especially younger ones, cannot tell the difference between an explanation and a defense, justification, or apology for what they regard as a guilty person or party. If an explanation is not damning or sufficiently damning of what they want damned, the explanation is interpreted as an excuse for the object of their scorn. In America, reason and objective analysis have taken a backseat to emotion. We do not know what the appointments mean except, as Trump discovered once he ...

Forget that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPA) agreed between Iran and the so-called P5+1 consisting of the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain, and the European Union has by all accounts been one of the few real foreign policy successes in the eight years of an otherwise war- dominated Obama Administration. Forget that the promise of normalizing trade relations with Iran would produce untold wealth — and jobs — for both the US and Iran. Forget that the Europeans are flocking in droves to resume lucrative trade with Iran, despite president-elect Trump’s inexplicable Iranophobia. Forget that as the “Germany of the Middle East,” Iran brings to ...

To Really ‘Make America Great Again,’ End the Fed!

Former Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher recently gave a speech identifying the Federal Reserve’s easy money/low interest rate policies as a source of the public anger that propelled Donald Trump into the White House. Mr. Fisher is certainly correct that the Fed’s policies have “skewered” the middle class. However, the problem is not specific Fed policies, but the very system of fiat currency managed by a secretive central bank. Federal Reserve-generated increases in money supply cause economic inequality. This is because, when the Fed acts to increase the money supply, well-to-do investors and other crony capitalists are the first recipients of the ...

The Obama administration has decided to stretch the 15-year-old congressional authorization for war against the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks, or those harboring them, to include an illegal war against a group in Somalia – al-Shabab – that wasn’t even in existence at the time of the attacks in 2001. In fact, as with many of its Islamist terrorist opponents worldwide – including the original al Qaeda, the perpetrator of 9/11 that arose from U.S. arming of Mujahideen guerrillas against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s and al Qaeda in Iraq, which arose to combat the US invasion there and morphed into ISIS – the United States inadvertently helped ...

Richard Gowan comments on Gov. Nikki Haley’s nomination to be ambassador to the U.N.: Haley, who is by all accounts ambitious and will want to be seen as more than just a Trump proxy, will hopefully try to score some real foreign policy successes at the U.N. rather than simply play to American chauvinist instincts by trashing the place. Haley’s nomination last week struck me as odd for a couple reasons. The first is that she was a vocal critic of Trump during the primaries, which makes it a bit strange that he would reward her with any position at all, much less one of the first jobs to be announced. The second and more important reason is that she has no foreign policy ...

Rand Paul Monday spoke with Wolf Blitzer about Donald Trump’s rumored choices for Secretary of State, insisting his main concern is whether the president-elect’s pick “understands the historical significance of the failure in Iraq and that we don’t repeat it.” “I don’t believe [John] Bolton, I don’t believe [Rudy] Giuliani have understood that,” Paul added. Discussing Mitt Romney, who will meet with Trump for dinner in New York this week, Paul iterated that his top priority is whether the Secretary of State fully understands the failure of the Iraq war, nation-building and regime change. “I’m unsure about where Romney is on ...

Liberals, progressives, and the left-wing (to the extent that one still exists) are aligning with the corrupt oligarchy against president-elect Trump and the American people. They are busy at work trying to generate hysteria over Trump’s “authoritarian personality and followers.” In other words, the message is: here come the fascists. Liberals and progressives wailed and whined about “an all white male cabinet,” only to be made fools by Trump’s appointment of a black male and two women, one a minority and one a Trump critic.

Uniquely Talented: Only the Democrats Could Have Lost to Trump

A great uproar goes forth from the enemies of the Trump Beast, with much gnashing of hair and pulling of teeth. He will be a terrible President, they say, and they may well be right. There are ominous signs, particularly as regards foreign policy, and he seems radically incoherent and contradictory. Interestingly, his critics have no slight idea why he won. The reason is obvious: He won because everybody was campaigning for him, in particular, the media, Hillary, Black Lives Matter, Obama, Democrats, and far leftists. Everybody worked for Trump. He couldn’t lose. The election was a referendum on Marie Antoinette’s court. It was the revolt of the unnoticed downtrodden, the ...
