EU GIVES RUSSIA THE UKRAINE HEAD FAKE – AND OTHER NEWS

Russia President Vladimir Putin must be having a Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot moment after the latest Ukraine events. Putin negotiated with Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko, Germany’s Angela Merkel and France’s François Holland in Minsk for hours to hammer out a ceasefire agreement between the Ukrainian government and the eastern Ukraine rebels. As a side note, the US was […]

ISLAMIC STATE BRINGS HIGH DEFINITION BEHEADINGS TO LIBYA

I just watched the latest Islamic State video where they simultaneously beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians on the Libyan coast, and while horrifying to watch, I am struck by the way these made-for-social media productions eerily resemble something which director Michael Mann would construct: beautiful, vacation-like scenery wihich is paired with bloody violence. As typical with […]

BOEHNER IS DUMB. PLUS HE DOESN’T LOVE AMERICA.

As pressure against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposed US visit to address a joint session in Congress grows, I can’t help but think how US Speaker John Boehner—the person who extended the invitation to Netanyahu—doesn’t seem to behave with the rationality or intellect that would befit the third most powerful government official in America. And […]

AN ADDITIONAL COUNTRY HELPS AL-NUSRA GROW

Not to be outdone by Boko Haram and Islamic State, terrorist group al-Nusra Front has upped its stake in the global caliphate race by claiming a part of Northern Syria, thus making the current Syria war even more complicated, deadly and difficult to resolve. And history books years from now will be able to cite […]

KING ABDULLAH’S BLOOD-STAINED LEGACY

While President Obama and other Washington heavies give posthumous praise to King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for his “moderate” voice of the Middle East, I have a different set of memories… Under King Abdullah’s reign, unarmed protesters were shot to death. He beheaded people as if he was creating a national sport. Practicing spiritual […]

WAR ON TERROR ALSO MEANS PLAYING WITH YOUR BRAIN

This should blow your mind—Americans think terrorism should be President Obama’s top priority, according to a recent Pew Research survey. Let’s follow this logic for a moment… Americans consider terrorism a more pressing matter to address than the economy, race relations and scientific research. Meanwhile, you have a better chance at being iced from a […]

STATE OF MADNESS

You didn’t think I’d be silent about President Obama’s State of the Union address, did you? First, we hear that Obama couldn’t push through his true agenda because of Republican Congressional opposition—even though his Democrats dominated both houses during the first two years in office. But he now wants to raise the minimum wage, provide free […]

REMINDER: WHO KILLED MLK

EDIT (Jan. 19, 2026 / MLK Day): I’m resurfacing this post from over ten years ago because MLK is still flattened into a children’s-book version of himself every January. I have one quick item to clarify: the 1999 wrongful-death civil case was brought by the King family against Loyd Jowers, and the jury’s verdict found […]

AND JUST LIKE THAT, WE ALL BECAME LESS FREE – THE CHARLIE HEBDO CHAPTER

You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before. —Rahm Emanuel There is another point about the Charlie Hebdo murders that I’m not sure my earlier post made clear, but a look at the response by […]
