Ambassador Mike Huckabee Strikes Again

Ambassador Mike Huckabee Strikes Again

by | Dec 15, 2025 |

So Israel, which has killed hundreds of Gazans, many of them children, since the so-called Ceasefire was declared on October 11th, has now stated that it is currently intending to maintain its “yellow line” occupation of more than half of the Gaza Strip. That will likely eventually make most of Gaza de facto part of Israel and the Palestinians who once upon a time lived there are shit out of luck, as the old saying goes. And as for those benighted creatures who actually...

Israel’s Push To Immigrate Muslims To The West Is Behind The Resurgence Of Islamic Terrorism

Israel’s Push To Immigrate Muslims To The West Is Behind The Resurgence Of Islamic Terrorism

by | Dec 15, 2025 |

The fatal mass shooting of members of the Jewish diaspora congregated at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia is a tragedy more befitting of Tisha B'Av than Hanukkah. While the State of Israel, Australia, and other nations the world over have condemned the shooting and used the tragedy to highlight the rising tide of antisemitism, that narrative echoes the obliviousness those countries have about the role they have played in causing the resurgence of Islamic terrorism. Decades of fighting the...

Europe Is About to Commit Financial Self-Immolation And Its Leaders Know It

Europe Is About to Commit Financial Self-Immolation And Its Leaders Know It

by | Dec 15, 2025 |

Italy’s decision to stand with Belgium against the confiscation of Russian sovereign assets is not a diplomatic footnote. It is a moment of clarity breaking through the fog of performative morality that has engulfed Brussels. Strip away the slogans and the truth is unavoidable: the seizure of Russian sovereign reserves will not change the course of the war in Ukraine by a single inch. This is not about funding Ukraine, it is about whether sovereign property still exists in a Western financial...

President Trump’s ‘Mission Accomplished’ Moment

President Trump’s ‘Mission Accomplished’ Moment

by | Dec 15, 2025 |

Unless President Trump reverses course, the “Lower Prices Bigger Paychecks” banner that hung behind him at his “affordability” speech this month will be remembered as being to economic policy what President George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” banner was to foreign policy. According to a Politico poll, many Americans are having difficulty paying for food, housing, transportation, and health care. Thirty-seven percent of Americans cannot afford to take their family to a professional sports...

The Great European Asset Heist Will Fail

The Great European Asset Heist Will Fail

by | Dec 12, 2025 |

Let’s stop pretending Brussels is engaged in noble statecraft. The EU’s rush to steal more than €180 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets held at Euroclear is the most reckless gamble Europe has taken in decades. Moscow’s central bank is not wrong to call the move unlawful; its lawsuit against Euroclear merely underscores a simple truth: weaponizing sovereign reserves violates long-standing norms that have protected global capital flows for half a century. Brussels may dress this up as...

New York Times Wants The US Military Built Up For War With China

New York Times Wants The US Military Built Up For War With China

by | Dec 11, 2025 |

Just as the United States hits its first official trillion-dollar annual military budget, the New York Times editorial board has published an article which argues that the US is going to need to increase military funding to prepare for a major war with China. The article is titled “Overmatched: Why the U.S. Military Must Reinvent Itself,” and to be clear it is an editorial, not an op-ed, meaning it represents the position of the newspaper itself rather than solely that of the authors. This...

Does anyone know where the love of God goesWhen the waves turn the minutes to hours? -- Gordon Lightfoot (1938-2023)“The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” As we learn more about the events on Sept. 2, 2025, in international waters 1,500 miles from the United States, the behavior of the United States military becomes more legally troubling than at first blush. We have learned from members of Congress and others who have seen the videos of the attacks on the speedboat that day that the first...

Israel Pays Evangelicals with Trump Ties to Create Pro-Israel Content

Israel Pays Evangelicals with Trump Ties to Create Pro-Israel Content

by | Dec 10, 2025 |

A new foreign influence deal aims to shape American public opinion to be more pro-Israel by paying influencers hefty sums to post on social media. The American Conservative reveals that some of the first payments from the so-called Esther Project have been to evangelical Christian consultants, one with links to former Donald Trump aide Brad Parscale, who runs a right-wing media company that’s partially owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Lara Trump. Other consultants paid by the firm come from a...

Government Unchained: The Year the Constitution Lost Its Guardrails

Government Unchained: The Year the Constitution Lost Its Guardrails

by | Dec 10, 2025 |

We now live in a nation where constitutional rights exist in theory, not in practice. Yet what good are rights on paper when every branch of government is allowed to ignore, circumvent, chip away at or hollow them out in practice? Two hundred and thirty-four years after the ratification of the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, the safeguards meant to shield “We the people” from government abuse are barely recognizable. In ways the Founders could scarcely have imagined—and would never have...

Do You Believe in Coincidence… Was the CIA Involved in Operation Spiderweb and Israel’s June 12 Attack on Iran?

Do You Believe in Coincidence… Was the CIA Involved in Operation Spiderweb and Israel’s June 12 Attack on Iran?

by | Dec 10, 2025 |

With the benefit of hindsight, we’re all geniuses. The Wall Street Journal article, Inside Ukraine’s Daring Operation Spiderweb Attack on Russia (published December 8, 2025) details the operation’s planning as a 18-month effort starting in late 2023, with significant activities ramping up in 2024. While the piece emphasizes the full timeline’s secrecy and oversight by President Zelenskyy and SBU chief Vasyl Maliuk, it highlights 2024 as a pivotal year for infiltration,...

Bait and Switch Stage Two – Shooting the Breeze in Moscow

Bait and Switch Stage Two – Shooting the Breeze in Moscow

by | Dec 9, 2025 |

President Trump’s friend, Steve Witkoff, together with Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, met on 2 December with President Putin at the Kremlin in Moscow. Taking part in the meeting on the Russian side were Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev. This marked Witkoff’s sixth meeting with Putin in 2025 and Kushner’s first in-person involvement in these talks. Reportedly, the core agenda was an “update” of the US “talking points” – one that is said to have incorporated further...

The Siren Song of War

The Siren Song of War

by | Dec 9, 2025 |

In October of 2002, I shocked many in my Congressional District and beyond by voting against giving President George W. Bush authorization to use military force in Iraq. The night before that vote, my older sister told me a Knoxville television station had conducted a poll which found that in its viewing area 74 percent were for the war, 9 percent were against, and 17 percent were undecided. When I pushed the button at about 3:00 the next day to cast that vote, I wondered if I might be ending...

Pro-Israel Forces Intensify Effort To Control American Discourse

Pro-Israel Forces Intensify Effort To Control American Discourse

by | Dec 9, 2025 |

Across the American political spectrum, support for the State of Israel is steadily eroding. With the long-running, staggeringly expensive redistribution of American wealth and weapons to one of the world’s most prosperous countries under unprecedented threat, Israel’s advocates inside the United States are growing increasingly desperate to suppress the facts, opinions, questions and imagery that are causing this sea change. Pro-Israel forces have long worked to limit and...

The Hegseth Killings Must Stop

by | Dec 8, 2025 |

Last week the Pentagon, under “War Secretary” Pete Hegseth, carried out yet another military attack on a boat in the high seas that the Administration claims is smuggling drugs. That makes 23 boats blown up by the US military in the waters off Latin America – most near Venezuela - and nearly 100 persons killed. To date the US government has provided no evidence to back up its claim that these boats are smuggling fentanyl and other dangerous drugs into the United States. The US Drug Enforcement...

‘Fourth Reich’: Musk Strikes Back At EU ‘Tyrants’ After X Fine

As Catherine Salgado reports for PJMedia.com, Musk also re-shared a post about Irish teacher Enoch Burke, who was jailed for refusing to use transgender pronouns, and later replied to another user, “So many politicians in Europe who are traitors to their own people.” And Musk highlighted the fact that Meta has a verification program similar to X’s, yet the EU hasn’t onerously fined the more censorship-prone Meta. Musk reposted and reiterated...

New National Security Strategy: A Stunning Departure, Yet Full of Contradictions

New National Security Strategy: A Stunning Departure, Yet Full of Contradictions

by | Dec 6, 2025 |

This is big. The final U.S. National Security Strategy was just published and the refocus on the Western Hemisphere (i.e. the Americas) is confirmed. The document clearly establishes this as the U.S.'s number one priority, saying that the U.S. will now "assert and enforce a 'Trump Corollary' to the Monroe Doctrine." In terms of military presence, they write that this means "a readjustment of our global military presence to address urgent threats in our Hemisphere, and away from theaters whose...
