The ‘New’ New World Order

China’s President Xi took center stage this past week, hosting leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries to an economic summit that many have touted as the model for a “new” New World Order. Notable among those attending was Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, one of the first world leaders to visit the White House […]

Iran Saves the Euros from Irrelevance

After years of complacency and ongoing trade with Iran, France, the UK, and Germany triggered a mechanism in the 2015 nuclear deal that will reimpose international sanctions on Iran starting in October. I can almost hear President Macron (aka “Little Cooke”), Britain’s Kair Starmer and German Chancellor Merz spitballing over tea about how they can […]

Geopolitics 101

The first lesson of geopolitics is that no leader gets to act in a vacuum. You make a move, and your adversary or competitor makes a countermove. It’s chess, not checkers. Putin and Trump and now deeply engaged in the Ukraine Gambit. Vlad started it off in 2014 when he seized the Crimea in a […]

Getting Putin’s Attention

It looks like Trump has finally gotten Putin’s attention. For the past two and a half years the United States and much of Europe have imposed sanctions on Russian oligarchs and Russian banks.  We have frozen Russian assets and impounded Russian yachts. We have placed travel restrictions on Russian officials. And none of it seemed […]

Get Your Tickets for The Russiagate Treason Trials

Tulsi Gabbard has finally shown why Donald Trump appointed her as director of national intelligence. In a series of moves over the past ten days, she has declassified key documents from the Russiagate probe that prove, beyond a doubt, that the entire narrative of a Russian preference for Trump in the 2016 election was a […]

What really happened at the Trump-Netanyahu summit?

Sometimes the news is not what you hear, but what you don’t hear. From what I can see, the Trump-Netanyahu White House meeting this week falls into the latter category. There were no big statements and no joint press conference, something Trump loves to do whenever he has great things to announce — or great […]

What’s Left for The Doomers and Gloomers?

Democrats have been having a tough couple of weeks, as Donald Trump goes from success to success. From ending Iran’s nuclear weapons program to multiple victories at the Supreme Court, great economic reports, and a rip-roaring stock market, Trump just capped a two-week victory streak by signing the Big Beautiful Bill into law, as promised, […]

Did You Say, Obliterate?

The press has had a field day since an anti-Trumper inside the US intelligence community leaked a preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency assessment of the B2 bomber strike on Iran’s deeply buried uranium enrichment site at Fordo. The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and others all selectively cited the preliminary report, labelled “low confidence” (a caveat […]

Should The U.S. Bomb Iran?

I’ve been asked many times in recent days how I would counsel President Trump when it comes to Iran. Should the United States join the Israeli bombing campaign, or just let events play out on their own? I understand there are many who claim to be in the President’s camp who have viciously attacked anyone […]

Israel Strikes Iran: What’s Next?

It was a bad day for the mullahs of Iran. And from what I’m hearing, there are many more bad days to come. WATCH: Israel strikes Iran killing top military leaders  We can all rejoice at that prospect. When the first video images of the Israeli air strikes on Tehran began to surface, an […]

Dr. Fauci and China’s Killer Fungus

Just when you thought you’d heard everything about corruption inside the National Institutes of Health under Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci, this week federal prosecutors arraigned two Chinese nationals in Detroit for allegedly attempting to import a “killer fungus” into the United States. Thirty-three year old Yunqing Jian, and her colleague, Zunyong Liu, 34, were […]
