HIROSHIMA WMD ATTACK, 70 YEARS LATER

As we remember the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, consider an idea which history books will never tell you: the US did not have have to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II. This makes the decision to use A-bombs to kill 200,000 people and permanently damage thousands of […]

BIBI AND CONGRESS ARE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING DUMB

Before discuss the highly stupid thing some US politicians and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are doing to kill the nuclear deal Iran just signed with the P5+1, let’s quickly review what happened since July 14. Even with the absence of any current evidence which points to Iran owning, developing or even desiring a nuclear […]

THE ONE PERCENT LOVES ICON-CHASERS

This recycled simmer-boil-simmer debate about whether to destroy, honor or moth-ball the Confederate flag reminds me of Americans’ drug-like habit of chasing icons and fighting over labels—undoubtedly violence-supporting icons which are emotionally powerful, but have no real power. I’ll get back to that thought in a moment, but allow me to throw a large slice […]

ISLAMIC STATE AND THE PUNK THEORY

The latest US antics in the face of Islamic State’s (ISIL) growing caliphate could have been a Monty Python sketch. First, we were supposed to be dazzled when the US held a look at how awesome our military is press conference to brag about the Special Forces raid and hit job on a suspected ISIL […]

CONGRESS VOTES FOR MORE FREEDOM! WHATEVER THAT MEANS

The Freedom lovers in the US House of Representatives recently voting against the Freedom-loving National Security Agency’s wholesale data collection of domestic phone calls—where both of whom justify their actions by professing their desires for American citizens to enjoy Freedom and be safe from terrorism—reminds me of a hilariously pathetic but true story about a […]

THE OBAMA APOLOGY REFLEX

Once again, the US government got it wrong in a big way, and President Obama donned the hat of Apologizer in Chief. The transgression this time around is the US drone missile deaths of two American civilians during a rescue operation in Yemen. Before that, the President gave a speech during the Selma march’s 50th […]

11+ QUESTIONS MICHAEL ERIC DYSON WOULD NEVER ASK OBAMA

With Dr. Michael Eric Dyson’s long-winded attack on Dr. Cornel West via New Republic still fresh on my mind, I kept saying to myself this evening that hundreds of Libyan migrants recently drowned at sea because they tried to escape the country they deemed home—until President Obama’s policies turned Libya into a bloodied, failed state. I then asked […]

PSYCHOTIC DIPLOMACY TOWARD IRAN

I can’t say that the now-infamous letter to Iran that was written by Senator James Cotton and signed by an additional 46 senators from the Party of No Brains is a treasonous document, but the letter shows that we have a either a gang of psychotics or hopeless morons calling the shots in Capitol Hill […]

SURPRISED THAT IRAN DOESN’T HAVE A NUKE?

Prior to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s self-proclaimed “historic mission” to deliver a speech to Congress yesterday, an interesting development occurred which you won’t likely see in the mainstream Western newspapers—nearly 200 former commanders from Israel’s security forces have condemned Netanyahu’s visit to America. These former military and police leaders, collectively called the Commanders for Israel’s […]

NETANYAHU = NERVE

How would you describe a lot of damn nerve? Let’s say you were cold busted framing one of your neighbors for a robbery. That’s nerve. You then wanted to address your block association to reaffirm your neighbor’s so-called guilt. That’s some damn nerve. Your next trick—even in the face of your neighbor’s innocence—is to tell others […]
