By Nate Terani | ( Tomdispatch.com) | – – Understand this: I’m an American veteran.

Increasingly Ludicrous WH denial that Austin bombings were “terrorism”
By Juan Cole | (Informed Comment) | – – Update: The suspect in the central Texas bombings is dead, after he detonated a bomb in his car on being surrounded by police, and was shot. Two more package bombs were found in Austin and San Antonio Fedex offices on Tuesday, giving evidence of originating with […]
Actor Cynthia Nixon, NY Governor Hopeful, attacked over Israel Boycott
Middle East Monitor | – – A leading pro-Israel activist is attempting to derail an American actor’s bid to become the governor of New York over her support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel.

On Seeing America’s Wars Whole: Six Questions for the New York Times
By Andrew J. Bacevich | ( Tomdispatch.com) | – – Dear Mr. Sulzberger: Congratulations on assuming the reins of this nation’s — and arguably, the world’s — most influential publication. It’s the family business, of course, so your appointment to succeed your father doesn’t exactly qualify as a surprise. Even so, the responsibility for guiding […]

But none of the major gun control proposals now being debated in Washington would actually stop mass shootings. I know that sounds heretical, or even […]
Jared Kushner: “You’re Fired!”
By Nomi Prins | ( Tomdispatch.com) Here we are a little more than a year into the Trump presidency and his administration’s body count is already, as The Donald might put it, “unbelievable, perhaps record-setting.” Among the casualties are Secretary of State Rex Tillerson; my former boss at Goldman Sachs, economic policy chief Gary Cohn; […]
Trump, McCabe and our Permanent Constitutional Crisis
By Juan Cole | (Informed Comment) | – – Trump’s conviction that being president means never having to say you are sorry, and being able to do whatever the hell you please, is likely to cause him legal trouble sooner or later. His vindictive firing of deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, just before McCabe could […]
Under Pompeo, will Trump Foreign Policy be Even Worse?
By Alastair Sloan | (Middle East Monitor) | – – The appointment of Mike Pompeo as the new US Secretary of State by Donald Trump will not signal a change in Washington’s Middle East policy. It doesn’t mean that America will no longer endorse the alliance between the Saudi and Israeli governments. Nor does it, […]
Oh Magog! Apocalyptic Christianity Returns to U.S. Foreign Policy
By John Feffer | ( Foreign Policy in Focus) | – – Trump is no churchgoer. But for evangelicals, his hard right line on Israel and machinations against Iran make him an instrument of the endtimes. Welcome back, Gog and Magog. I can’t say that I’ve missed you. You might remember the Gog and Magog […]
