Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
The only thing that explains this unprecedented snub is OPEC countries, no doubt at Russia’s urging, being hell-bent on showing that they no longer need the United States … for anything. This, because they now have the backing of China as a more indulging economic superpower, and of Russia as a nuclear power that is… Read more.
Granted, he’s still not even as reliable as a broken clock. But even Donald Trump can be right once in a blue moon. More than 500 foreign heads of state, monarchs and dignitaries attended the event, including Biden and first lady Jill Biden. The first family was placed in the 14th row of the church’s south transept, seven rows… Read more.
Podcast Episode 86 My blog is replete with commentaries attesting to my belief that women make better leaders than men. They range from “Cracking the Political Glass Ceiling: First Woman to Become President in South America,” December 12, 2005, to “International Women’s Day: ‘Men Should Be Barred from Politics’, March 8, 2019. But nothing vindicates… Listen.
But here is how Trump insinuated to his MAGA peanut gallery, in his typically whining fashion, that they’re picking on him (but ignoring Hunter Biden and his laptop…?). Former President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI “raided” his Florida home at Mar-a-Lago and even cracked his safe, with a source familiar telling NBC News… Read more.
Podcast Episode 85 No, that’s not a typo. Ayman al-Zawahiri was the leader of al-Qaeda, not ISIS But you’d be forgiven for wondering why killing him is even worthy of mention, let alone this episode. After all, every time there’s breaking news these days of a terrorist attack anywhere, it’s invariably the terrorizing deed not… Listen.
Podcast Episode 83 President Biden may not know it. But everyone in Washington thinks he’s a lame duck. So it behooves him to do something dramatic to disabuse them of that thought. As any crisis often does, the war in Ukraine offers him an opportunity to do so in historic fashion. Listen.
President Biden’s first state visit to the Middle East is being defined by the superficial way he greeted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, and by the political way they discussed the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In fact, reporters are dogging Biden and his team with questions about Khashoggi – as if his murder… Read more.
US President Joe Biden offended all notions of diplomatic sense and sensibility last month when he called Russian President Vladimir Putin murderous and Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch dangerous. I found his candor – in calling a spade a spade on the world stage – refreshing and encouraging in equal measure. But perhaps it just… Read more.
During his high-stakes phone call with Joe Biden yesterday, Xi Jinping insisted that he does not want this war in Ukraine. Therefore, one must infer that he regards Vladimir Putin as an unruly child he must love and support no matter how damaging the mischief he causes. Which of course means that Xi might be… Read more.
On Monday, President Biden was caught on a hot mic calling the White House correspondent for Fox News a “stupid son of a bitch.” Within hours, in a very un-Trumpian manner, he called that correspondent and offered a personal apology. But it seems he was still apologizing on Tuesday. Because only that explains the way… Read more.
