The drone attacks on some of Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities were carried out by the Houthi rebels of Yemen (according to their own admission). The mainly Shia Muslim Houthi rebels, are fighting the majority Sunni government troops headed by President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is backed by the Saudi and United Arab Emirate ‘Coalition’, which includes the United States, and possibly Israel. The ‘Coalition’ has through their indiscriminate air strikes and bombings of the Houthi

Modern day Russia is tiny, in every critical aspect of global power, to the one and only true ‘Super-Power’ in the World today – The United States of America – (except geographically, of course). Yet it seems to be in almost complete command of America’s administration through the abjectly servile Donald J. Trump, who cannot help but bow and scrape in front of the diminutive Vladimir Putin, as does his administration, and the enablers - the Republican Senators and Congressmen

Trump An Instrument of God – To Save the Jews? Well at least that’s what US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, thinks is possible because of his ‘faith’. On his current visit to Israel, Pompeo was reportedly asked by an interviewer of the Christian Broadcasting Network, if - "President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time as this, just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from an Iranian menace". Pompeo’s response was reported to be - "As a Chris

Nikki Haley announced her resignation as Trump administration’s United Nations Ambassador on Tuesday, October 9, 2018. Apparently it came as a total surprise to the President and his top officials, including Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton. Trump being Trump, tried to put a positive spin on the exit of one of his most high profile and popular senior officials by announcing that it had been expected and planned, which like most things

On the anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11 in New York when the landmark Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were brought down with the use of civilian planes as bombs, along with the simultaneous attempt on the Pentagon Building, one reflects on the horrific event with its 3000 plus causalities, and its aftermath. The attack was precipitated by the desire of Islamic extremists to strike back at the United States, on its home soil, for what they perceived to be a long

It has been almost 16 months since Donald J. Trump became President of the United States. For 12 of those months, he has been under investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, for the possibility of his Campaign having colluded with Russian operatives to influence the 2016 Presidential Elections, in his favor. All evidence so far points to, at the very least, an unusually close and politically unhealthy relationship between Trump’s Campaign and Russia, and a concerted ef

Tonight, March 25th, 2018, the most anticipated segment to-date of ’60 Minutes’ will air, with CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviewing porn star and hottest news Stormy Daniels. This interview, promises to delve into salacious details of President Trump’s illicit affair with Stormy Daniels from 2006 to 2007, while being married to his wife Melania Trump, who at that time had given birth to their son. Guilty pleasures of listening to the sordid details of a celebrity’s personal lif

American Vice President Mike Pence professes to be a man of God, and as such he knows the 'Lord' has a 'Plan' for his life, and that plan is ultimately to be the President of the United States. For that day Mike Pence works tirelessly, in humility, bearing all the scorn of the President, the majority of Americans, and the World, as he, without protest or shirking, goes about his daily task of defending the indefensible, blithely overlooking the unacceptable, excusing the inex

Americans are deeply infected with a particularly virulent strain of the gun-virus. It is a form of disease that makes otherwise normal American human beings love and value their guns over the lives of their fellow American human beings. This is made possible by America’s unique gun ownership laws (there aren’t many, to speak of) which are unique amongst developed countries, making it the gun murder capital amongst its peer nations. The steady almost clockwork rising toll of

Now-a-days, just being in the Trump White House is to risk contamination and compromise if you are a person of principals. The contamination is succumbing to the ever present virus that infects the White House now – lies damn lies, untruths and half-truths. It’s something that seems to be inevitable, like being too close to a powerful vortex that inevitably sucks you under, regardless of your standing before you get there. Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was in

On June 25th, 1950, the Socialist North Korea, then a post World War II Soviet Union (Russia) satellite, invaded South Korea, with Russia’s backing. The United States of America (U.S.), leading the United Nations (U.N.) forces came to capitalist South Korea’s defense and pushed the invading North Korean forces well back into their territory. Then communist China intervened, sending in waves of troops that pushed the U.S. and U.N. forces back until a deal was made between Russ

After almost 8 years of consistent effort of trying to kill ObamaCare, Mitch McConnell, fellow Republican Senators, and now the newly added and always addled President Donald J. Trump, failed yet again, spectacularly, to ‘immediately Repeal and Replace ObamaCare’. Their frantic, bumbling, conscienceless Republican 'TrumpCare’ Bill, hastily prepared, in darkness, a Bill designed to hurt the ordinary, the weak and the infirm American, in favor of the rich despotic and the entit

Donald Trump acts to protect himself and his associates from an ever encroaching FBI led investigation that was perhaps getting to close for comfort. So he fired James Comey, Director of the FBI, who refused to publicly exonerate him, and was the man who was heading the investigation into Trump and his associates, and their relationships with Russia. To fire the man that is investigating you is a rare privilege that Trump the President was not shy to exploit, even if it broke

Trump’s campaign manager and White House advisor, KellyAnne Conway, made famous the words ‘alternative- facts’ when describing his Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s less than accurate version of the size of the crowd, and the overall turnout at the inauguration of Trump. Now, ‘alternative-facts’ has become a popular catch-all phrase to describe untruthfulness and willful distortion of real facts. In these tumultuous early days of Trump’s Presidency, the Country has been inundated

Yesterday, Donald J. Trump, on becoming President, tried to portray himself as a White Knight in shining armor, astride his great steed, to rescue a captive and abused fair damsel - a ravaged America. Except, the pretense and portrayal was a hoax. The knight instead is woefully and significantly tarnished, the steed that brought him to power - the Electoral College voting system, is flawed as a democratic instrument that did not serve the will of the overwhelming majority of
