The Onus Is on Israel and Its Allies To End the Genocide, Not Their Victims

It’s actually never legitimate to withhold aid from starving civilians. It was never legitimate at any time.

That’s one of the annoying things about having to discuss Israel’s ridiculous claim that Hamas is hoarding hostage corpses in order to achieve some kind of goal, and therefore justifies reducing aid into Gaza as punishment: the conversation skates right over the fact that it has never been legitimate for Israel to withhold humanitarian aid into Gaza. Debating whether Israel is right or wr...

Wars and Rumors of Wars

The older I get, the more suspiciously I look at the causes of war.  This is natural.  Young people — especially young men — are incapable of properly evaluating risk.  Though they are rebellious, they also follow orders from authority figures.  There is a reason why eighteen-year-olds are sent over embankments to cross open fields on the frontlines: They can be convinced to pursue success and ignore mortality.  Courageous young men look right past danger.  Only years later do they ask themselve...

Police State Bounty Hunters: The Rise of ICE’s Unconstitutional War on America

“Brother, I am American. You are twisting my arm.”— Man shouts “I am American” while ICE agents detain him

Masked gunmen. Tasers. Tear gas. Pepper spray. Unmarked vehicles. Intimidation tactics. Brutality. Racial profiling. Children traumatized. Families terrorized. Journalists targeted. Citizens detained. Disabled individuals, minors, the elderly, pregnant women, military veterans—snatched off the streets. Private property destroyed.

This is not a war zone. This is America.

This is what now pas...

‘Prepare For War’: B-52s Circle Near Venezuela, Trump Threatens Hamas, and Ukraine Is Very Close To Getting Tomahawk Cruise Missiles

When hundreds of America’s admirals and generals gathered at a military base in Virginia on September 30th, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth instructed them to “prepare for war”.  Unfortunately, he was not exaggerating.  We are on the brink of war with Venezuela, President Trump is threatening to take military action if Hamas does not disarm, our relations with China are rapidly deteriorating, and if we give Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine that will put us just one step away from a nuclear ...

America Is at War Against Itself Over Illegal Immigration

The colorful fabric of the United States is beginning to tear apart as Democrats and Republicans attempt to address the immigration crisis in their own separate and very different ways.

Los Angeles has declared an emergency in response to federal immigration raids, a move traditionally reserved for natural disasters or other circumstances beyond the control of local authorities.

The legislation stated that the tactics used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other entities have...

World Stage Theatre Keeps People Nodding in Comfort and Scared from Reality. ‘Nobel Peace Prize = War’

Have you ever had the impression you are living in a world stage theatre of clowns and jokers, who make you laugh and cry? And when you walk out of the theatre, you smile to yourself, “It’s just been a little drama play, but if we don’t take it seriously, they will take us over and down.”

So, let us take it seriously. What at times looks, sounds, and appears like a joke, in reality, is not a joke at all. Like Trump the peacemaker. Nine months into his second presidency, there is no peace in sigh...

The US Government Believed 9 Out of 10 People Would Die in a Nuclear Attack

Hiroshima. Chernobyl. Nagasaki. Fukushima. They’re practically household names at this point. As such, most people know that the consequences of the radioactive fallout spread far beyond the borders of these towns and cities. What you may not realize, however, is just how far.

In some cases, the consequences might seem trivial. Take, for example, the lack of salad greens throughout France for months following the Chernobyl disaster.

Meanwhile, the black rain following the atomic blasts at Hirosh...

Trump Keeps Admitting That He Is Bought and Owned by the World’s Richest Israeli

It’s bizarre how little mainstream attention is given to the fact that the president of the United States has repeatedly confessed to being bought and owned by the world’s richest Israeli, especially given how intensely fixated his political opposition was on the possibility that he was compromised by a foreign government during his first term.

During a speech before the Israeli parliament on Monday, President Trump once again publicly admitted that he has implemented Israel-friendly policies at...

Ukrainian General Inadvertently Debunks Kiev Regime’s ‘500 Overnight Shootdowns’ Propaganda

On October 6, the Neo-Nazi junta forces announced they’ve supposedly “shot down” nearly 500 Russian drones and missiles over NATO-occupied Ukraine. According to their official statistics, this includes 439 drones out of 496 launched (presumably “Geranium”), 38 Kh-101, “Iskander-K” (although unspecified, presumably 9M728) and “Kalibr” cruise missiles (again, unspecified) out of the 51 launched. Of course, last but not least, the Kiev regime forces also “shot down” one 9-S-7760 air-launched hypers...

America Needs a Political Party That Represents Americans

In the 20th century, the difference between Republicans and Democrats was between a party that wants citizens rewarded on merit and a party that wants citizens rewarded based on needs.  It was Democrats who gave the needy property rights, sometimes called entitlements, via taxation, rent control, and other redistributive methods in the incomes of taxpayers.

The needy and their needs expanded rapidly, necessitating further violations of Constitutionally protected property rights.  Today an Americ...
