Last night we heard some knucklehead on the War Channel (CNN) braying about Ukraine as a vitally important "ally and strategic partner". The implication, of course, was that the Donald's attempted squeeze play on its new President was dangerously undermining...
Yes, Virginia, There Is a Deep State and It’s Feeding the Anti-POTUS Mob
The prepared statement of the latest UkraineGate whistle-blower is well worth the read. It tells you all you need to know about why the Deep State apparatchiks are coming out of the woodwork in a massive assault on America's duly elected president. They are deathly...
Up In Smoke: The Neocon Assault on Syria Is Finally Over
By a vote of 354-60 last week the U.S. House of Representative proved that Imperial Washington is addicted to war, and that the level of ignorance, bellicosity and mendacity among the people's representative has reach appalling heights. Having never voted for...
Wake-Up Call On The Syrian Border: Time To End Washington’s Feckless Regime Change Policy and NATO, Too

The Donald’s Latest Iranian Caper – Sh*t-Faced Stupidity
