The world’s only one man media empire
Rather than believing this is an existential conflict that requires a clear winner on either side, she claimed it is not, in fact, a “binary” issue. The thousands of protesters in DC a day earlier, including musician Dave Matthews, would beg to disagree. Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the ongoing war in Gaza… Continue reading Kamala Harris, Dave Matthews, and the truth about our binary choice in Gaza
Iran and Israel have crossed two previous red lines in less than seven days by launching direct attacks at each other for the first time, even after President Biden issued his infamous “don’t.” Somehow, this is being positioned as a victory for diplomacy. Decades from now, assuming humanity survives that long, there is little doubt… Continue reading Biden’s foreign policy, just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse
It’s certainly not because we’re brainwashed. It’s because we like what we see after decades of establishment failure and outright lies about immigration, economics, international relations, and American life. It’s yet another common refrain in media circles: President Trump’s supporters are brainwashed in some fashion, beholden only to what he tells them, and unable to… Continue reading Trump and the truth about his supporters
We’re de-escalating the situation by escalating it, and we’re launching acts of war to avoid a war, both strategies no one can really make sense of and no one would should be surprised are not producing any measurable result. Over the weekend, the Biden Administration responded to the recent killing of three American servicemen by… Continue reading Biden’s increasingly bizarre approach to the Middle East is caused by a lack of vision behind his actions
The real world of international relations is not a movie, but some key lessons and insights are the same. You can be at war without wanting to be at war and you cannot win a war without knowing who your true enemy is, forget telling them in advance what you will and will not do. “Tattaglia’s… Continue reading Joe Biden is no Marlon Brando, lessons from the Godfather on his failing foreign policy
2024 will be defined by a confluence of events most of which remain completely unpredictable, far more so than most years in modern memory. Call it the quantum mechanics or Schrödinger’s cat of years, where we will not know what happens until the waveforms collapse into history. 2020 was considered an extraordinary dumpster fire of… Continue reading 2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year
Globally, 828 million people go to bed hungry. Some 700 million live in poverty. 72% of the population, lives under authoritarian rule while some 5 billion do not have access to adequate medical care. Why do a relative handful on a small strip of land matter so much? To many progressives, the fate of Palestine seems to… Continue reading Honest Question: Why are the Palestinians so special?
Boston University’s Ibram X. Kendi, Harvard’s Claudine Gay, and others reveal their inherent racism and ignorance with almost every single nonsensical statement they make. Would you rather be a Jewish white person in Palestine or a Muslim brown person in my majority white, decidedly middle class hometown of Hazlet, NJ? “Whiteness prevents white people from… Continue reading Academia is irredeemably racist, hopelessly ignorant, and must be defunded immediately
The Secretary of State admitted that Hamas uses their own people as human shields and doesn’t care about their well being, but fails to explain how Israel can minimize civilian casualties when their enemy wants to maximize them, much less how a “humanitarian pause” would do anything except help Hamas itself. “Hamas doesn’t care one… Continue reading Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world
There is a sense of watching some sad tragicomedy unfold, wondering what unexpected and unanticipated catastrophe will happen next, oblivious to the reality that – as at the start of World War I – we might literally be one bullet away from worldwide destruction. On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his… Continue reading The world is at war in slow motion, until it isn’t
