Is The 'Golden Dome' Just Another Massive Military Boondoggle

President Trump announced yesterday that plans have been adopted to construct a "Golden Dome" to protect the United States from a missile attack. It is sold as a completion of President Reagan's ill-fated (but very profitable) "Star Wars" program. Already a down payment "supplemental" appropriation of $150 billion is being prepared.

Neocons Strangling Iran Talks, Putting A 'Deal' In Jeopardy

It started with President Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff claiming that Iran can have zero ability to enrich uranium, even for power generation. Then he shifted his public stance.

President Trump has dubbed this the “big beautiful bill.” The bill also has ne...

Neocon Senators Declare War On Trump!

War-obsessed Republican US Senators are desperately trying to scuttle what seems like an impending breakthrough in US talks with Iran. Just as President Trump finishes up a successful Middle Eastern tour, all Republican Senators - except Sen. Rand Paul - have signed a letter warning the President that any deal would be DOA if it did not include one point that is sure to be rejected by Iran. Unsurprisingly, AIPAC is heavily praising (and probably drafted) the letter. Meanwhile 2/3 of REPUBLICANS ...
