Washington (AFP) – President Donald Trump attacked the probe into possible collusion between his campaign and Russia as a “political hit job” on Monday, as a part of a mounting White House effort to paint the probe as politically motivated. In the latest salvo from Trump’s administration and his Republican Party, the president assailed former […]

How Pompeo’s “Severest Sanctions” on Iran will Backfire
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s speech on new sanctions on Iran lays out a wide range of Iranian behavior he would like to change, and specified harsh US financial sanctions as his instrument. Pompeo, a Kansas oil man backed by the Koch brothers, is just a former congressman and a virulent Christian fundamentalist with white […]
Trump Collusion: How afraid should we be of Mohammed Bin Zayed of the UAE?
Another meeting between the Trump campaign and a representative of the leader of the United Arab Emirates has been uncovered by the New York Times’s Mark Mazzetti, Ronen Bergman, and David Kirkpatrick, this one in August of 2016. The gathering at Trump Tower was arranged by George Nader, a Lebanese-American international fixer with ties to […]
The Bolton Administration Has Already Begun
The hard-right national security adviser successfully tanked the Iran deal. His next target? The North Korea talks. For a man with a reputation for venting spleen and flying off the handle, John Bolton bided his time before finally rising to the position of power he now occupies. The former U.S. ambassador to the UN spent […]
How Trump’s 2000 lies are Termites chomping at the Foundations of Democracy
( Tomdispatch.com) Consider us officially in an Orwellian world, though we only half realize it. While we were barely looking, significant parts of an American language long familiar to us quite literally, and in a remarkably coherent way, went down the equivalent of George Orwell’s infamous Memory Hole. This hit me in a personal way […]
When Trump calls Latinos “Animals,” should we hear echoes of the SS’s Undermen?
In the beginning of the internet back in the late 1980s and early 1990s when you for the first time had large and contentious discussions online at bulletin boards like Usenet, attorney Mike Godwin noticed that the longer a discussion went on, the more likely it was that someone would make a Hitler comparison. Some […]
Gearing Up for the Third Gulf War: a Future Cataclysm between US, Israel, Saudi and Iran?
( Tomdispatch) With Donald Trump’s decision to shred the Iran nuclear agreement, announced last Tuesday, it’s time for the rest of us to start thinking about what a Third Gulf War would mean. The answer, based on the last 16 years of American experience in the Greater Middle East, is that it won’t be pretty. […]
What Trump’s torching of Iran deal says about US commitment to nuclear security
(The Conversation) President Donald Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal flies in the face of hundreds of inspections that showed Iran was meeting its end of the bargain. It’s a move that many leaders in the international community opposed, including all other parties to the deal – France, Germany, the U.K., […]
Kelly’s “Family Separation” recalls Slave Era practice of Selling Parents down the River
John Kelly, White House chief of staff, is an immigrant-hating bigot, as demonstrated by a long series of Draconian statements and measures that would have embarrassed most normal people into a lifetime vow of silence in their wake. Kelly bizarrely defended Confederate slave drivers of the 1860s as having lived at a time before the […]
