Given the utter failure of the United States to achieve any of his Iran war aims, President Trump’s “No More Mister Nice Guy” social media post today seems comically pathetic. But In Donald Trump’s defense, American history is replete with tough-talking Presidents promising to kick ass and take names. In 1823, James Monroe famously told […]

Apple CEO Tim Cook may be stepping down, but one thing still makes the Executive Chairman of the company’s board of directors sleep “with one eye open.” That one thing? A Chinese blockade or invasion of Taiwan. Why? Because Taiwan produces 90% of the world’s high-end computer chips. Almost all of that comes from one […]

In a stunning turn of events Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a breakthrough agreement with America’s NATO allies to deploy a “massive” Anglo-French armada to force open the Strait of Hormuz and escort ships through the world’s energy choke point now controlled by Iran.

President Trump on Monday seemed shocked—shocked!—at the rapidly growing economic fallout from his war on Iran. U.S. gasoline prices spiked and markets wobbled as  Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE and Iraq announced steeps cut backs on oil and natural gas production. With the Straits of Hormuz effectively closed, France dispatched warships to the region […]

Few tears will be shed if the brutal regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran is consigned to the dustbin of history.

When Donald Trump addressed an unprecedented gathering of America’s military leadership on Tuesday, he was making his most fervent supporters darkest fears come true.
