Biden, to Stop Election Interference, Don’t Sanction Russia, Arm Ukraine

Thursday, September 5, 2024 at 6:25 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall
US announces new sanctions against Russia for election interference. But it should be arming Ukraine to win

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.

Elon Musk interviewing Donald Trump

Elon Musk’s interview with Donald Trump on X last week turned out to be as ill-fated as it was overhyped. It was marred by the same technical glitches that dogged their first interview. And that’s because Musk took foolish pride in gutting his platform of many engineers. But this time, the United Auto Workers union… Read more.

collage of Jan 6 riots with Trump and Supreme Court justices after immunity ruling

Trump is immune Former presidents are immune from prosecution for official actions taken while in the White House, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday, but do not have immunity for unofficial acts.

Trump sitting with lawyers in court as his hush money election interference trial

Trump, for the defense Donald Trump is on trial for paying porn star Stormy Daniels hush money to keep their booty call under wraps before the 2016 presidential election. So, understandably, Trump thinks he knows more about the facts of this case than anyone else.  The issue is that he behaves in Court as if he knows more about… Read more.

FBI Agent Strzok’s Tell-All Alleges Trump Ran for President as Putin’s ‘Manchurian Candidate’

Tuesday, September 8, 2020 at 7:59 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Donald Trump proved long ago that Americans are as hooked on him as they are on drugs. This explains cable stations covering his asinine tweets like drug dealers pushing dime-bags as treats.

For Putin, Trump Proving more Poisoned Chalice than Political Puppet

Thursday, June 27, 2019 at 11:09 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Most commentators hailed Russian President Vladimir Putin as a disruptive genius for cyberattacking the 2016 US presidential election.

Case in point is the following… Read more.
