On South Africa, Nigeria, and Venezuela, Trump Makes George W. Bush Look Like George F. Kennan

Monday, November 17, 2025 at 9:16 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall
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. What could go wrong… Read my full take on Substack:https://ipinionsdaily.substack.com/p/on-foreign-policy-trump-makes-george Read more.

oligarchs buying up media to help Trump

Trump’s billionaire backers (Ellison, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, and Murdoch) are turning America’s news industry into a MAGA propaganda machine. They’re gutting journalism for profit and power, while pretending it’s free speech. iPINIONS sees this as a silent coup reshaping America’s media landscape.

CBS to Colbert: You’re Fired… Next Year!

Sunday, July 20, 2025 at 9:16 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall
Cartoon showing Trump getting CBS to fire Colbert

But what boss in their right mind announces they’re firing a stellar employee… “next year”? That’s like giving a disgruntled employee six months to torch the place before you boot them. But this is just the latest example of corporate CEOs bending the knee to Trump with even more supineness than spineless GOP politicians. More… Read more.

Threads Is Becoming the eX-Twitter Killer… After All

depiction of Threads challenging X.

Just a year ago, I once declared Threads dead on arrival. Now it’s quietly kicking Elon’s X into irrelevance — no cage match required. From bots and hate speech to fleeing advertisers and Grok’s antisemitic meltdown, X is imploding. Meanwhile, Threads is gaining ground on users, credibility, and momentum. Turns out iPINIONS was wrong, but… Read more.

DOGE Done: Musk, Trump’s Ketamine Czar, Quits After Gutting Government

Wednesday, June 4, 2025 at 9:38 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall
Elon and Trump Oval office DOGE farewell

Trump tapped Elon Musk to reform the federal government. Predictably, Musk got high on ketamine, fired essential workers, gutted lifesaving aid programs, and quit — leaving the public sector in flames. His farewell on Friday coincided with a damning exposé about his drug-fueled dysfunction, and with new reports that his “reform” may have killed more… Read more.

Bill Gates Plans to Give Away His Money Before He Dies (to Counter Elon Musk)

Bill Gates accusing Elon Musk of killing millions with his DOGE cuts

Bill Gates made headlines this week with a pledge to give away his entire $200 billion fortune before he dies. That’s not just philanthropy. It’s a moral counterpunch to Elon Musk — who’s been cutting the very aid programs Gates is now scrambling to rescue. Gates is giving to save lives. Elon is hoarding power… Read more.

20 for 20: The iPINIONS Archive of Vanguard Commentary

Sunday, April 20, 2025 at 9:52 PM
Written by Anthony L. Hall
An illustrated collage of major global events and public figures emerging from an open book, symbolizing 20 years of prophetic commentary from The iPINIONS Journal.

For over 20 years, I’ve been writing vanguard commentary — tackling global issues long before they reached the mainstream. From social media and politics to sports and entertainment, my posts didn’t follow the headlines. They forecasted them. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who has published more informed commentary on a more eclectic array of… Read more.

Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s MAGA Mockingbird, Puts Saddam’s Baghdad Bob to Shame

Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 7:50 PM
Written by Anthony L. Hall
Karoline Leavitt downplays Musk–Navarro tariff feud at WH presser, flanked by reporter Alayna Treene and inset images.

Granted, Sean Spicer made it clear on Day One of Trump’s first term that you can’t believe a word his press secretaries say. After all, beyond displaying abject loyalty, the only real job requirement is a cult-like willingness to parrot the lies (big and small) Trump spews every time he opens his mouth. That said,… Read more.

Buyers' remorse causing Tesla sales to plummet

Teslas now look more fascist and futuristic Two years ago, Jennifer Trebb thought driving a Tesla meant embracing the future. Now, she’s ditching her Model Y. She’s fed up with Elon Musk’s full-throttle dive into MAGA politics — Nazi salute included — and the megalomaniacal way his DOGE gang is reshaping the US government. She’s… Read more.
