September 26, 2024

by Ray Cardello

Joe Biden gave his last address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, and his legacy would have been better served if he passed on the invitation. The speech was long, disjointed, and a shot at Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East. Joe also tried to reinvent the botched Afghanistan withdrawal and … Read more

Angels and Demons

August 20, 2024

by Steve Earle

Week after week here in NH and around the country, we read how Palestinians are the poor victims of oppression and subjugation written by folks who are uninformed as to the ideology of Islam.

While Amil Imani’s policy suggestions may make sense from an Iranian-American viewpoint, they make NO sense from an American-American viewpoint. America has been following policies aligned with his suggestions for longer than most Americans have been alive.

Victor David Hanson is a smart guy. A historian, he pays attention to past and present and seems to be neither a deep-state neocon nor some feckless progressive academic interested in politics before facts or science.

The “Deliberate Use of Force by a Government To Intimidate Its Citizens”

November 30, 2023

by Steve MacDonald

Whenever someone says something is a neo-colonial construct, you should look them in the eye and ask how many Legos it took to build that. Neo-colonialism is a buzzword from the hive mind of a herd of people with obscene amounts of Liberal Privilege.

by Amil Imani

As protests in Iran persist, demanding greater freedom and a transition to democracy, the United States needs to reflect on its past actions, particularly about Iran, and decide on a course of action.

Joe Brought His Checkbook, Came Back Empty

July 17, 2022

by Ray Cardello

There were low expectations and high apprehension about Joe Biden’s trip to the Middle East. Initially part of his recent European swing, but Biden’s handlers knew a ten-day trip was too challenging. The White House told us that this trip was an audible not to tire out the aging Biden. He first went to Israel, … Read more

NYT: Biden Delayed His Trip to the Middle East So….

July 10, 2022

by Steve MacDonald

Joe Biden can’t be President this week ‘cuz he needs a nap. He was supposed to take a trip to the Middle East, but his handlers couldn’t keep him awake long enough to get the deal done. He’s a weary old man. I’m paraphrasing, but that’s coming from the very liberal newsroom at the New York Times. The paper of Liberal record.

Whoever is Running the Biden Administration (WRBA) Has Bi-Polar Middle East Syndrome

February 28, 2021

by Steve MacDonald

Whoever is running the Biden Administration (WRBA) has some strange ideas about Middle-East Foreign Policy. They want to be friends with Iran, so they remove the terror group designation from Ansarallah in Yemen. Then WRBA bombs Iranian-backed militias in Syria.

Just in time for the Presidential debates, Trump is locking up a third Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Negotiations between Israel and Palestine may be stalling. But, peace is breaking out all over the region. The Abraham accords are realigning the regional balance of power.

President Trump Gets a Third Nobel Peace Prize Nomination

September 28, 2020

by Steve MacDonald

Four Australian Law Professors have nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, not just to drive liberals insane. They believe the Trump Doctrine is a winner and has done something in a few years no one has been able to manage in decades.

“If Obama or Biden had achieved this it would have looked a lot different.”

September 22, 2020

After the historic Middle East peace deal signing the press corps was silent. SILENT. Kayleigh McEnany is now expressing disgust with them. Why? Because Trump has done something historic. He got a peace deal between Middle East nations, that’s plural.

America’s Insanity and Mistake Trap

August 22, 2020August 22, 2020

by Amil Imani

When people hear the word “insanity,” they conjure up the image of someone out of touch with reality and out of control; a dysfunctional person fit to be tied. Yet, insanity comes in numerous types as well as degrees. It is also widely prevalent in groups, even in the nations as a whole.

Trump Gives US Navy A-OK to Make Martyrs if Iranian Gun Boats Harass Them Again

April 23, 2020

A pack of pesky Iranian gunboats recently swarmed and harassed US ships in International waters. The engagement greatly increased the likelihood of a collision, damage, or who knows what. Well, President Trump knows, if it happens again.

Mullah’s Time is Up

February 8, 2020

by Amil Imani

There is an old warning: never corner a rabid cat. Either leave an escape hatch for it, or kill it. Otherwise the desperate rabid cat, when cornered or wounded, but not dead, will likely gouge your eyes out. That’s the case with the cornered presently wounded rabid mullahs ruling and ruining Iran. One thing is … Read more

Is Trump’s “Middle East Peace Plan” an Exercise to See Who Hates Israel and Who Does not?

January 30, 2020

by Steve MacDonald

I’ve made a few fledgling efforts to write about President Donald Trump’s ‘peace plan’ for the Middle East. I’ve abandoned those for this. It’s simpler. If you are not sure what to make of the plan, start by looking at who supports the idea and who opposes it.
