Payne: A Mushroom Cloud Pretext for World Government

In August 1945, A-bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Blood, death, and misery clouded the future under the “mushroom cloud,” striking fear in the hearts of everyone.  The mushroom cloud made it easy for the government to cover up what the people didn’t want to hear. On August 19th, longing for peace, most Americans ignored … Read more

O’Keeffe: Why Ending the War in Ukraine Is So Difficult Now

As President Trump wrestles to deliver on his campaign promise to end the war on Ukraine by helping to bring about a negotiated peace deal, the effort has, in part, been undermined by an escalating exchange of kamikaze drones by both sides. The last week especially saw a sharp escalation, with Ukraine launching thousands of … Read more

Standing at the Edge of the Iran War Cliff

Millions of people around the world were at the edge of their seats over the weekend, waiting to hear whether Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff’s indirect talks with the Iranian foreign minister would ratchet down tensions or would break down and bring on a major Middle East war. If it seems bizarre that the outcome … Read more

Ramadan Bomb-a-Thon

Ayup, there certainly is. And it’s easy to do… Putting on the Mantle of Victimhood is easy to do. Everyone weak of heart and weaker of mind will wring their hands in horror. When it comes down to it, “victims” are masters at playing on other peoples’ emotions and lack of ability to: Gazans, you’ve … Read more

Suddenly, Leaving NATO is on the Table!

Over the weekend, President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk made quite a stir with just two words posted on his social media platform, X. Responding to a post that, “It’s time to leave NATO and the UN,” Musk replied, “I agree.” The comment immediately made the rounds on social media and also … Read more

Did Trump Halt Aid to Ukraine?

There were a number of “headlines” in the US media claiming all foreign aid was stopped—except for Israel and Egypt. But the Pentagon weighed in denying that it affects Ukraine: “A Pentagon official confirmed that Trump’s executive order freezing foreign aid applies only to development programs, not security assistance to Ukraine.” -VOA When I spoke with … Read more

Are We Totally Screwed?

OK, this is long. Steve will shake his head as I describe it as a lot like me getting ready to ask a GrokTALK! participant a question: a long run up and then the question. I’ve justified the habit as if I’m chasing that person into a three-walled canyon so that they’d have to get … Read more

Daring To Put America First

For the past 40 years, American politicians have argued how wars in far-flung third-world countries are in the United States’ vital strategic interests. From Iraq to Kosovo, American leaders of both parties squandered trillions of dollars and thousands of lives chasing phantom threats around the world. The rationale behind these interventions has often been based … Read more

Perversion of The Power To Declare War

Mark Twain’s wit, perhaps, describes the dilemma the  majority of the U.S. Congress has suffered for decades since December 7, 1941: “It’s better to keep silent and appear stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” Our military sons and daughters show courage in fulfilling their duty, even unto death, but our Congress has found … Read more

Beware of War Hawks in “America First” Clothing

For the past eight years, the two major political parties have been gripped by a messy and ongoing realignment. It began with the election of Donald Trump in 2016, which was a major repudiation of the neoconservative-establishment coalition that had dominated the Republican Party since the presidency of George W. Bush. Trump’s condemnation of the … Read more

Memorial Day: A Look Back – And Forward?

You see, after years of “benign neglect,” one of the items for me, “semi-retirement,” was to focus on family and home. To the latter, a number of issues have arisen over the almost two decades, and now they have to be addressed.

Biden Sanctions On Iran Are A Distraction

Listening to the experts analyze the Israeli attack on Iran on Friday morning, you could hear one common thread, and it was not complimentary of the Biden Administration. The assessment is that Biden has no military or diplomatic acumen, which is also true for his team. Biden has America involved in two wars involving our allies.

Who Is Biden to Criticize Israeli Military Operations

Israel was attacked on October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists from neighboring Gaza breached the Israeli security perimeter and wreaked havoc. They tortured, raped, burned, and killed over 1,200 civilians and took over 100 hostages. There is a tremendous amount of evidence proving that Iran is supporting Hamas and the Hezbollah troops attacking Israel from the north.

Be Careful Having Biden Go After Iran

As the number of attacks on our military installations and personnel in the Middle East by Iran proxy groups, many, including me, have asked where is the retaliation by the Biden Administration. The number of attacks reached 165 when three of our service people were killed in their barracks at a post called Tower 22. This post is located at the spot where Iraq, Jordan, and Syria meet.

College Campuses, Warmongering, and #MeToo

There are three main takeaways from 2023. Higher education, especially among the Ivy Leagues and other “elite” colleges, continues to be revealed for what it has become: a bloated, tenured-protected, and indoctrinating mess.

Ukraine War is Just About Over

The handwriting was on the wall. An Op-Ed in the New York Times entitled “I’m a Ukrainian, and I Refuse to Compete for Your Attention” summed things up nicely: a media junket the author’s friend had been organizing to Ukraine was canceled. The TV crew instead left for the Middle East.
