Revealing a steely yet erratic contempt of the law, the US Department of Justice is showing, again, how it became the spear carrier for kooky ideas and vengeful projects. No leader is seemingly safe from an indictment if the personal interest of President Donald Trump is invested. It need not […]
On May 20th, I headlined “Sauds, Qataris, & UAE Moving Away From U.S. to Russia-China-Pakistani-Turkish Alliance” and reported that the Kings in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE, had laid down the law to Trump that if he resumed bombing Iran, then Iran would bomb their own countries, not just their U.S. bases […]
A needless, extravagant ballroom. Questionable gifts, not least the 747-200B aircraft from the Qatari government. An inane decision to add a blue protective coating to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool in Washington. These events increasingly point to the loss of sound mind. The galloping profligacy and indulgence hardly stops there […]
The United States has dramatically intensified its confrontation with Cuba by filing criminal charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro, marking one of the most serious escalations in relations between the two countries in decades.

The United States is preparing to scale back the military forces it would make available to NATO during major crises, according to multiple sources familiar with internal Pentagon discussions. The move marks another significant shift in Washington’s defense strategy under President Donald Trump and signals a broader effort to push […]

For the 23 million people living on the self-governed island, the summit could have become one of the most consequential diplomatic events of 2026 – […]
The global consequences of war are rarely confined to battlefields. In 2026, the conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel has triggered a humanitarian emergency far beyond the Middle East. One of the most critical flashpoints is the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow but strategically vital shipping route through […]
Springtime Beijing greeted Donald Trump with the full ceremonial treatment. Temple of Heaven, Confucian references, red flags fluttering, green tea, and the carefully tended roses in the historic gardens of Zhongnanhai. Trump, according to reports, was genuinely impressed by the flowers and asked Xi Jinping for seeds. Xi smiled and […]
