Written by Anthony L. Hall

Trump has turned the Resolute Desk into the Excuse Desk, dodging blame while auctioning off pardons, rewarding crooks, and selling out America to foreign strongmen. iPINIONS argues that, from Saudi blood money to Honduran narco-politics to get-out-of-jail cards for wealthy swindlers, Trump’s presidency is now a pay-to-betray operation.

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Zohran Mamdani made history last night, becoming the first Muslim elected mayor of New York City. Progressives are celebrating — and rightfully so.

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Trump’s billionaire backers (Ellison, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, and Murdoch) are turning America’s news industry into a MAGA propaganda machine.

Wednesday, September 10, 2025 at 9:02 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Barrett wears serenity like armor. KBJ refuses to play along. This post analyzes the Supreme Court’s most consequential rivalry — one between a MAGA-aligned enabler and a justice dissenting with the clarity of a Nazi hunter. From book tour barbs to courtroom ideology, iPINIONS contends this isn’t just about legal theory. It’s about who will… Read more.

Monday, September 1, 2025 at 9:22 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

America celebrates traffic and sales while workers work. This post shows how grievance politics swap wages for outrage… how offshoring buys cheap goods at the cost of jobs… and how algorithms now do what foremen used to do. iPINIONS contends that the theater is the point… and workers pay for the tickets.

The Kennedys: From Camelot to Spamalot

Friday, August 15, 2025 at 9:21 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Not that long ago, Americans treated the Kennedys like royalty. JFK inspired a nation. RFK embodied its conscience. Today, the family name is trading like a meme coin — bouncing between cable nostalgia docs and social media trainwrecks. iPINIONS contends that, from JFK’s White House glamour to his grandson’s TikTok stunts, Camelot has morphed into… Read more.
