Joe Kent’s resignation, Netanyahu’s Iran pressure, and Tucker Carlson’s questions about security breaches, FBI obstruction, and possible coercion. When a president who promised “no new wars” shifts toward escalation amid foreign pressure, security breaches, and blocked investigations — is it unreasonable to ask why? This interview…

Where Empire Meets the Abyss
One ought never to seek anything rationally graspable in the feverish utterances that presently issue from Donald Trump; for they resemble less the speech of a statesman than the half-coherent incantations of one who has lingered too long at the edge of a horizon where meaning itself thins…
Tax Season, Slavery, and Henry David Thoreau
I woke up to some e-mail questions from my accountant pertaining to my 2025 income tax return, and it reminded me of Henry David Thoreau. In July 1846, Thoreau was jailed in Concord, Massachusetts for refusing to pay his poll tax as a protest against slavery and…
How Laura Loomer Weaponizes Anti-Muslim Sentiment to Stifle Dissent
The pro-Israel activist says Tucker Carlson should be jailed for “treason.” aura Loomer has declared open season on Tucker Carlson, and with him, on the very principle that Americans can question their government’s foreign wars without being labeled traitors. A pro-Israel right-wing activist, Loomer boasts of close…
Countering the MAGA Cult of Personality
A Homeland Institute poll I conducted found low support for intervening against Iran, as did many other polls. But Trump’s disastrous 2026 Iran War has not had as strong of an immediate effect on polling as it should have, both in regard to Trump and to…
The Decline of the West
The Faustin West is no longer the director. We are rotting. But in the rot, something slithers. Oswald Spengler looked at Europe and saw an old woman, lips painted to hide the cracks. Alexander Dugin looks at the world and sees a battlefield, lines drawn in blood.
The Tragedy of Trumpism
Alright, I’m saying this as an Australian. I am absolutely sick to death of watching the world hold its breath. Every time this blabbering, blubbering, blithering, blustering buffoon opens his grotesque mouth, it happens again. America has elected a man who talks and behaves like a megalomaniac.
Trump’s Operation Epic FAFO Over Iran Could Escalate NATO’s Proxy War Against Russia
Things could get a lot hotter in the Middle East and Europe. Trump’s Operation Epic Fury is fast becoming “Operation Epic FAFO” – that is, a “fuck around and find out” situation. Ironically, this is the vulgar phrase that the foul-mouthed president has previously used to warn…
The Iran War Has Clear Objectives; That’s Why No One in Washington Will Name Them
A familiar refrain has emerged from the so-called “opposition” to the Iran campaign: What is the strategy? What is the endgame? Where are the clear objectives? How does this liberate the Iranian people? Prominent members of Congress and media commentators alike repeat these questions as though the principal indictment…
The Iran War Could End U.S. Hegemony
Iran is winning the war. The regime only needs to survive in order to win. Despite the constant shifting of official war goals, Donald Trump clearly believed that assassinating the Supreme Leader would lead to a stooge leader being installed in Tehran within days. But Iran’s…
