When it comes to the national security front, Donald Trump is flat out loosing it. After all, WTF was he thinking with respect to – ……A $1.5 trillion defense budget? ……Kidnapping the president of a sovereign nation? ……Putting Mexico and Columbia on deck for the next...

The Venezuela saga gets more cockamamie by the day. It turns out that the predicates for kidnapping the president of a country that poses no threat whatsoever to America’s Homeland security are about as threadbare (and even comical) as they come. For instance, did the...

Until the Donald came along, Nixon’s feckless War on Drugs was surely among the stupidest projects of state ever conceived on the banks of the Potomac. As we show in detail below, Washington’s writ criminalizing cocaine raises the street price from about $1,000 per...

Talk about attacking a gnat with 1,000 pounds of TNT! We are referring, of course, to the Donald’s latest gambit of sending a $40 billion carrier battle group to the coast of Venezuela in order to help kill a few fishermen (46 to date) on $400,000 speedboats, who run...

Here we go again. The Donald had no more than offered a constructive 28-point plan that correctly identified America’s Homeland Security interest in Ukraine as nichts, nada, nugatory and nyet – when the Washington neocon brigade that he foolishly invited back into his...

Part 1 Well, the Donald hit the nail on the head, albeit surely not by purpose. That is to say, Washington DC is indeed the War Capital of the World – so the Pentagon might as well be properly renamed as the Department of War. After all, the 742 US military bases...

This article is a continuation of "A Nobel for the Donald?" To repeat: the geopolitical equivalent of a tree is about ready to fall unheard in the global forest. Once the Trump/Putin peace deal is inked, not one element of the neocons’ scary bedtime stories about...

Donald Trump doesn’t really deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Not after his unprovoked bombing of a country (Iran) that is no military threat whatsoever to the American Homeland. Not after continuing to green-light and arm Israel’s genocidal madness on Gaza and...
