Donald Trump’s second presidency has been on a downward spiral ever since he exploded at a question regarding the Epstein List, and started calling it a Democratic Party “hoax.” His Justice Department told the public, presumably with a straight face, that there was no Epstein List. Move along, nothing to see here.

Since I last wrote about our Giant Orange hero, he attempted to deflect criticism of the Epstein List comments ( with Trump becoming perhaps the world’s first Epstein Denier), and his ...

President Donald Trump, who had snubbed Benjamin Netanyahu when he came to ask him to annex Gaza, is reportedly preparing to take control of the Palestinian territory. While Tel Aviv prepares to annex the entirety of Mandatory Palestine and, on the contrary, Egypt and Jordan have the keys to the Palestinian Authority, a vast real estate operation worth $100 billion is being considered.

President Donald Trump convened a meeting at the White House on August 27 to gather suggestions for the future ...

A Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report commissioned by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. indicates Tylenol use during pregnancy is one factor contributing to the U.S. autism epidemic, according to media reports.

Sources close to the matter said low levels of folate as well as the use of the acetaminophen-based drug will be named in the forthcoming HHS autism report as among potential causal factors behind autism.

Kennedy, secretary of the HHS, told Fox and Friends last week that his agency w...

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is communism.

During the past year I have read on various websites  articles that the West has become the Communist State that it once opposed.

Various legitimate examples are offered:  the use of law as a weapon as in Stalin’s show trials of the Bolsheviks who made the Russian Revolution;  suppression of free speech and protest as all over the Western world;  fake election results as in the 2020 US presidential election and in Europe by banning opposition c...

In a sense all I’m ever really pointing at here is the importance of taking responsibility. Taking responsibility as westerners for the suffering and destruction inflicted upon the world by the western power structure that we live under.

To be a westerner is to live in a civilization that is powered by the abuse and exploitation of the people of the global south. Every one of us benefits directly from the way resources and labor are exploitatively extracted from nations that are held in subjugat...

Living with an inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis is a daily balancing act marked by unpredictability. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, urgent diarrhea, and fatigue can flare up without warning, disrupting plans and demanding constant awareness of diet, stress, and bathroom access.

Severe flares can escalate to the point of requiring hospitalization, where intense pain, dehydration, or complications like obstructions necessitate urgent medical interventi...

Thirty-five years ago this Thursday, President George H.W. Bush gave an important speech entitled “Toward a New World Order.” Wikipedia has excerpted a few of its central elements:

Until now, the world we’ve known has been a world divided—a world of barbed wire and concrete block, conflict, and the cold war. Now, we can see a new world coming into view. A world in which there is the genuine prospect of new world order. In the words of Winston Churchill, a “world order” in which “the principles o...

Does Trump even enjoy the leeway from his unseen bonds to seize on nuclear détente as his Nobel Prize story, should he so choose?

The gloves are off. The SCO Summit was a clear demonstration of the reality of power starkly coalescing, on the one hand, and one of power visibly ebbing, on the other. The amazing military parade was the summit counterpart – it spoke loudly: You want to take us on? ‘We are ready’.

China has thrown down the gauntlet with precision timing. (You’d almost think they had ...

Writing in Chronicles about his “alleged collaborators in infamy,” Paul Gottfried skewers the tendency to lump together all arguments with which one disagrees, and to treat them as if they were all essentially one and the same argument by dint of the fact that one opposes them all. For example, the “woke left” and “woke right” are lumped together as two types of “woke.” Critics of “woke” lump together paleoconservatives (the traditional right whom they classify as woke right) and critical theory...

President Trump has recently endorsed a policy that is arguably as socialist as anything proposed by New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani or Sen. Bernie Sanders — partial government ownership of private corporations.

Earlier this year, as a condition of approving Nippon Steel’s purchase of US Steel, President Trump demanded Nippon give the US government a “golden share” in US Steel. This golden share allows the US government to overrule Nippon’s management if the government determines Nippo...
