Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Ukraine spent the first years of Putin’s genocidal invasion begging Biden and NATO for the weapons to strike back in kind. Instead, Washington dithered, NATO cowered, and Kyiv paid the price. iPINIONS argues that while Biden delayed, Ukraine innovated. Now its drones are reaching Moscow, its weapons industry is booming, and Europe is looking to… Read more.
As fate would have it, Trump just announced a “full and immediate ceasefire” between India and Pakistan. That’s welcome news — but no reassurance that the next crisis won’t be just as sudden… or just as explosive. This post remains essential reading because it explains how we got here, why the ceasefire won’t hold, and… Read more.
President Biden delivered his Farewell Address on Wednesday. Presidents usually use this final primetime slot to pat themselves on the back and hand historians the first draft of their legacy. That’s why these speeches are often as forgettable as the annual State of the Union Address. The notable exception is Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address… Read more.
APEC delivers humiliating farewell for Biden As APEC host, Peru’s president relegated Biden to the back row for the customary “family photo” at last week’s summit. The snub evoked global schadenfreude that bordered on elder abuse. I doubt any president has ever faced such humiliation on the world stage. Mind you, Trump is roughly the… Read more.

In infuriating contrast, Trump was all over TV, and it hardly mattered that he was blatantly lying about what they were doing and… Read more.
The Biden administration’s latest sanctions and criminal charges against Russia for election interference are déjà vu all over again. Since 2016, the US has been slapping Russia with sanctions like a drunk at a piñata party — wildly swinging, hoping to hit something. Yet, the Russians are still at it, manipulating US public opinion to… Read more.
Donald Trump is a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, convicted felon and adjudged rapist. He’s also a pathological liar who incited an insurrection. Yet listen carefully, and you’ll hear MAGA Republicans saying they’re voting for him anyway just to avoid 3% inflation. They blithely overlook his threats to turn American democracy into a Russian-style autocracy, as if that’s… Read more.
MAGA-Republican fear-mongering MAGA-Republican fear-mongering has Democrats wetting their beds. In fact, with their talk of revenge, “I-am-your-retribution” Trump and his bullying MAGA propagandists are fiendishly instilling fear in everyone. ‘Of course we aren’t fucking bluffing.’ That’s the message one close Trump adviser and former administration official to speak…wants to get across to the press and… Read more.
Every year, Western leaders gather to commemorate D-Day. It’s a solemn occasion that pays tribute to the sacrifices “The Greatest Generation” made to win World War II. We rightly celebrate the Allied forces from the United States, Britain, France, and Canada for their heroic efforts to save the world from fascist tyranny. But let’s not… Read more.
