Trump and Israel will make sure the war against Iran continues. During my most recent appearance on Judge Napolitano’s Judging Freedom on Wednesday I expressed the view that the ongoing ceasefire between Washington and Tehran was a scam designed to support Israeli interests in the region and to give both Tel…
The United States did not begin as an empire. The early American vision, articulated by figures like Thomas Paine and John Quincy Adams, emphasized restraint. Paine warned that government was a “necessary evil,” justified only insofar as it protected individuals and left them free, something no government had ever…
It is absurd to think one can make a deal with people who murder school children. Here we go again. Trump is sending two Zionists—the real estate developer Steve Witkoff, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and VP J.D. Vance—to Islamabad, Pakistan, this weekend to “engage with the Iranians,” as CNN, soon…
The Fed is likely thinking bailout or backstop for private credit, while banks look to monetize its demise. I’ve been saying this for months: despite “experts” just sounding the alarm moments ago: the private credit unwind that started months ago and has now spiraled into a very real liability for…
Most people assume a DUI charge means the person was drunk or high as a kite. The laws on the books are supposed to protect the public from drunken, reckless drivers, not drag sober people into jail because some cop had a hunch when a roadside test went sideways.

The temporary cessation of hostilities across West Asia very much hangs in the balance. Originally, there was to be a cessation of military actions across “all fronts” including Lebanon — that being one of the ten Iranian preconditions to negotiations towards a permanent ceasefire. Trump duly affirmed that Iran’s 10-point…
How a New York Republican became the perfect shabbos goy for mass immigration and perpetual war. The American electorate handed Donald Trump a mandate in 2024 with the clear expectation of carrying out mass deportations and taking a hard line against illegal immigration. Yet as the dust settles, a…
The photograph above tells even the casual observer that Iran is entering the next round of negotiations with the United States with its eyes wide open while holding the ultimate trump card… The Strait of Hormuz. The Iranians are shrewd masters of information operations and their skill is on…
There. I Said It. With All This Freakshow-Against-Nature Stuff Happening, It’s Pretty Clear Something MAJOR Is Wrong With the World. My good friend from Japan, a professional cosplay model, messaged me yesterday with “HEY IM IN THE USA!” followed by approximately nine emoji. She and her roommate had just…
