Images depicting Trump's dealing with South Africa, Nigeria, and Venezuela with image of Bush's Mission Accomplished

Trump’s foreign policy has become a grotesque mix of Musk’s ego, Fox’s fiction, and white grievance. iPINIONS chronicles who, from South Africa to Venezuela, it’s ignorance on parade and power without principle.

Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph in London

Every November we pin poppies to our lapels to remember the fallen. But as iPINIONS notes, remembrance should mean more than ceremony — it should extend to the living veterans who still wait for the honor we show once a year.

Written by Anthony L. Hall
Gaza peace deal violations

Trump was all over TV touting the cease-fire he brokered between Hamas and Israel as “peace in the Middle East.” But less than a week later, his deal is collapsing in blood, hypocrisy, and self-promotion. iPINIONS exposes the war profiteers posing as peacemakers, and the media cheering them on.

Written by Anthony L. Hall
Trump at the UN 2025

From bragging about a Nobel Prize he’ll never get, to enabling Netanyahu’s war crimes, to echoing Putin’s playbook, Trump’s speech showed how far America has fallen — from global leader to global pariah. iPINIONS cuts through… Read more.
