The White House Correspondents’ Dinner Died Friday Night. Bury It.

Monday, July 27, 2026 at 8:40 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

The White House Correspondents’ Association invited Donald Trump into its ballroom after years of threats, lawsuits and intimidation against the press. He rewarded its appeasement by mocking Kaitlan Collins, praising the gutting of newsrooms and reveling in journalists’ silence. The dinner no longer defends journalism. It turns attacks on journalism into black-tie entertainment. iPINIONS argues… Read more.

Dogs were once man’s best friend. iPINIONS laments that too many now spend their days cooped up in apartments and condos, only to find that even their brief trips outdoors come second to whatever has their owners staring at their phones.

Charlie Woods inherited Tiger’s name, natural form, and every impossible expectation that comes with them. But iPINIONS contends that, unlike the sons of basketball legends, he has no team to absorb failure and nowhere to hide from every missed shot.

Condoleezza Rice Recycles Her Advice to Bush on Iraq for Trump on Iran

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Condoleezza Rice helped sell Bush’s Iraq War by warning that the smoking gun could become a mushroom cloud. iPINIONS contends that she is recycling that same preventive-war logic for Trump in Iran, where a supposedly quick campaign has metastasized into mounting deaths, destruction, and conflict over the Strait of Hormuz.

2026 World Cup Final. Spain Won. Everyone Else Lost.

Monday, July 20, 2026 at 8:41 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Spain defeated Argentina to win its second World Cup, powered by Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, two Black sons of immigrants. Messi faded, Trump strained to smile, and FIFA’s “greatest final ever” hype dissolved into a tedious display of keep-away. iPINIONS hails it as yet another victory for Spain, diversity, and talent over exclusion.

Trump Bullied Spain. Now It Could Make Him Swallow His World Cup Pride

Saturday, July 18, 2026 at 8:34 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Trump bullied Spain for refusing to join his war against Iran. Now iPINIONS is rooting for the World Cup final to force him to honor Spain, Lamine Yamal, and the multiracial success he scorns, especially given how Trump’s infamous meddling has turned this beautiful game into political theater.

Todd Blanche’s AG Hearing Shows Trump’s Contempt for Justice

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at 8:47 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Todd Blanche enters his confirmation hearing already disqualified by a federal judge. iPINIONS argues that, from Trump’s self-dealing IRS settlement and retribution campaign to Epstein damage control and press intimidation, Blanche has proved that he never stopped serving as Trump’s personal lawyer. He merely acquired the Justice Department’s power to do it. Read my full… Read more.

King Charles welcomed Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet back into the royal fold. But iPINIONS contends this was no reconciliation. It was a truce shaped by illness, estrangement, and a family feud that Harry has turned into commercial content.

Friday, July 10, 2026 at 8:27 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

The Bahamas celebrates 53 years of independence today with Junkanoo, flags, prayers, speeches, and patriotic pageantry. Yet the constitution still bows to a British king and the Privy Council. iPINIONS bemoans that’s not independence fulfilled. That’s independence deferred.
