By Tom Engelhardt | ( Tomdispatch.com) | – – MOAB sounds more like an incestuous, war-torn biblical kingdom than the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast, aka “the mother of all bombs.” Still, give Donald Trump credit. Only the really, really big bombs, whether North Korean nukes or those 21,600 pounds of MOAB, truly get his […]

Top 5 Ways Bill O’Reilly gave us Trump and cheapened America

The despicable strategy of presslord Rupert Murdoch of orienting his Fox Cable “news” toward the nativist far right in the United States will continue. They’ll just find another O’Reilly. Worse, there is more or less […]
Is Trump Taking Us to War Everywhere?
By Olivia Alperstein | (Otherwords.org) | – – No one expected Trump to be a peace president, but he seems bent on taking us to the verge of World War III. No one ever expected Donald Trump to be a peace-loving president. On the campaign trail, he endorsed torture, said he’d bomb the families of […]
