U.S. Flag with Israeli Stars Which of the United States or Israel uses the other for its foreign policy? Is Israel the proxy for US foreign policy in the Middle East? Or does Israel determine US foreign policy, both through and because of the Zionist lobby and the neocons and liberals present in the US administration? Is it “the world upside down” “tails wagging dogs”? This is a very old question: who manipulates whom in this American-Israeli relationship?

The Trump Department of War is drawing up plans for kinetic operations against drug traffickers inside Venezuela, according to a thinly sourced NBC News story. Those strikes could begin in a "matter of weeks." The strikes would be primarily carried out by drones and would target drug cartel members and leadership, as well as drug labs.Putting aside the brittleness of the story, there are some considerations that move it from the "totally freakin unlikely" category to "slightly plausible." First, a disclaimer. The U.S. military has plans for just about any contingency. This dates back to at least the 1930s, when...

DUBAI, June 16 (Reuters) - Iran does not intend to develop nuclear weapons but will pursue its right to nuclear energy and research, President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Monday, reiterating Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's religious edict against weapons of mass destruction.

Harvard University president Alan Garber blamed a Jewish student for his own assault during an anti-Israel protest, accusing him in a text message of filming in a way that "appears provocative," the House Education and Workforce Committee revealed Monday. The text was included in a letter that Republican Reps. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) and Tim Walberg (Mich.)—who chair House Republican Leadership, and the House Education and Workforce Committee, respectively—sent Garber demanding information surrounding incidents that "may contribute to a hostile antisemitic environment on campus." They pointed to his texts urging Harvard Business School dean Srikant Datar not to send a community...

Had enough of never-ending disruptive political protests? You are not alone. But besides being annoying, there is a subversive purpose to the disruption and disorder, and we would be wise to take notice. A perceptive 1960s far-left (SDS) radical once observed about his protest movement, “The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.” The asserted issue is pretextual, but the pretext’s protest power is leveraged to serve a greater goal. That Alinsky-esque guideline, however, needs one key refinement: It is true of left-wing protest only. When the right assembles, the issue protested usually is the issue....

@Holden_Culotta Thomas Massie just exposed the three uniparty billionaires spending millions against him. “One is Miriam Adelson.” “The other two are hedge fund managers from West Palm Beach and New York City.” “And one of them … is in Epstein’s black book.” “They are mad at me because I will not vote for foreign aid. I believe we need to spend our money here in America.” “They have all given to pro-abortion Democrats.” “One of them did a fundraiser for Chuck Schumer.” “One of them donated the max donation to Liz Cheney after she voted to impeach Donald Trump.” “Why...

Charlie Kirk's assassination on September 10th, 2025, had a significant impact on the country. It united Christians and conservatives worldwide in mourning one of their most vocal apologists and evangelists, especially among the younger generation. Kirk was a man of God first before he would ever strive to be identified as a conservative activist. It feels as if we have lost a brother, not just a celebrity, and it's because of the life Charlie lived. --SNIP-- With hardly any proof or solid evidence, the ADL has continued to weaponize its activism against conservatism to capitalize on outrage culture to make...

The Anti-Defamation League pulled its Glossary of Extremism and Hate days after conservatives assailed the antisemitism watchdog for including the late Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA in the index. Without directly addressing criticism from Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., and others, the ADL on Tuesday said its database had become "outdated." "[A]n increasing number of entries in the Glossary were outdated. We also saw a number of entries intentionally misrepresented and misused," ADL said in a post to X. "Moreover, our experts have continued to develop more comprehensive resources and innovative ways to provide information about antisemitism, extremism and hate....

Netanyahu referred this week to a 'community' pushing out preferred messaging in US media — and boy are they making a princely sum In a meeting dedicated to harnessing pro-Israel media energy on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alluded to a cohort of Israel’s influencers. “We have to fight back. How do we fight back? Our influencers. I think you should also talk to them if you have a chance, to that community, they are very important.”

Right-wing commentator Cadance Owens dropped her bombshell after teasing over the weekend that she got information that Tyler Robinson was framed in the case of Charlie Kirk's assassination. She said that everything the agencies told about the Charlie Kirk assassination has been a lie. She said a politician's name came up as she dug deeper into the case. Candace said she knows everything is a lie because law enforcement is even lying that Tyler Robinson, the accused, is suicidal. Candace questioned how Tyler Robinson was willing to turn himself in but did not confess. He was 'bewildered' to have known...

Tucker Carlson has posted a video denouncing what he believes to be the excessive influence wielded by Prime Minister Netanyahu over President Trump. In a video he posted, Carlson said, "Bibi’s running around — this is a fact, I’m not guessing about this because I talked to people he said it to — is running around the Middle East, his region in his own country and telling people point blank, just stating it, “I control the United States. I control Donald Trump.” He’s saying that — and again I’m not guessing at all, that’s a fact. I dare them to...

Troubling developments have highlighted Europe’s continued slide into political turmoil and totalitarianism. As we discussed last time, the EU has no choice but to sharply agitate for war in order to keep its frail political structures intact, because the war drums drown out the organic cries for change and liberation from the EU’s despotic rule. It is the age old tactic used by tyrants time and again, most recently by Netanyahu in Israel. All the while, new undemocratic measures are “slipped in” while the populace is distracted by the hysteria; case in point being the sudden push for national digital...

Actor Charlie Sheen has revealed he still questions the official narrative around the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The Two And A Half Men actor, 60, joined Tucker Carlson, 56, on his show on Friday to promote his new book, The Book of Sheen. While there, the Hollywood star revealed he didn't believe the official story of 9/11. 'There's something about that that's weird,' Sheen told Tucker. 'We're just going to focus on two things, just two things, and if you can explain those, I will submit to the official story.' Sheen takes issue with the stories...

Former US president Barack Obama has said there is no military rationale right now for continuing to pummel what is already broken in Gaza, and he said it was unacceptable to ignore the human crisis that is happening there. He said children there were starving and that a starting point in the crisis would be for both sides to acknowledge each other’s history, in a bid to break the cycle of violence. He told a paying audience at the 3Arena in Dublin that where the truth becomes whitewashed, “you lose touch with reality and it puts you in a position...

The United States said it would revoke Colombian President Gustavo Petro's visa after he took to New York's streets on Friday in a pro-Palestinian demonstration and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey President Donald Trump's orders. "We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions," the State Department posted on X. Petro, addressing a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters outside the U.N. headquarters in Manhattan, called for a global armed force with the priority to liberate Palestinians, adding, "This force has to be bigger than that of the United States." "That's why from here, from New York, I ask...
