Ken Paxton: Texas Doesn’t Need a Coward Who Cheers an Illegal War on Iran

Ken Paxton: Texas Doesn’t Need a Coward Who Cheers an Illegal War on Iran

I've heard the Axios audio from Ken Paxton's September fundraiser in Washington. Consequently, I know precisely what this man thinks of Trump's illegal war on Iran. He told donors and lobbyists: "It's the war, it's gas prices, it's diesel." He called affordability "by far our biggest problem." He admitted the campaign was "having a hard time with numbers" because of it. He confessed: "So many factors in this federal race are uncontrollable. I don't make the decisions." He added: "I don't know what's behind some of the decisions" in Washington. Yet Paxton campaigned with Trump in San Antonio and praised…

Scandal: Mike Rogers Mocked Michigan Voters for Worrying About Coffee While Backing Illegal War on Iran

Scandal: Mike Rogers Mocked Michigan Voters for Worrying About Coffee While Backing Illegal War on Iran

I spent my career in the FBI. There I learned to sit across from a man. The eyes move before the mouth. The details harden where they should soften. Meanwhile, the timeline bends to fit whichever room the subject stands in. I have interrogated men who lied with more discipline than Mike Rogers. Indeed, Rogers has shown that lack of discipline across seven months of this campaign. Most of them kept one version straight for an afternoon. Rogers, however, cannot keep one straight for a news cycle. Yet he wants Michigan to hand him a Senate seat. That seat would…

Trump’s Policies Push Allies Toward a New Global Order

As world leaders prepare to attend the annual United Nations General Assembly this Tuesday, the international system is undergoing a significant shift. Countries that have traditionally depended on the United States for security, trade and diplomatic support are increasingly looking for alternative partnerships, as uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump’s foreign policy continues to reshape relations with Washington and accelerate discussions about a new global order.The change is particularly visible among America’s traditional allies. Analysts expect Trump to focus even more heavily on foreign policy if the November midterm elections leave Congress divided and limit his ability to pursue domestic initiatives. Former…

Trump’s Hormuz Claim: Strength, Frustration, or a Sign of Failure?

Trump’s Hormuz Claim: Strength, Frustration, or a Sign of Failure?

On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump said during a speech in New York that “after we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated, pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States.” Only two days earlier, Trump had claimed that the United States had “total control” over the Strait of Hormuz.  The White House later said that Trump was joking about the idea of annexing the Strait of Hormoz to the U.S. territory. Yet even if Trump intended it as a joke, Trump’s Hormuz claim remains significant. It reflects the increasingly forceful…

Trump’s Military Threats Against Iran Are Now a Dead Letter: The Strait of Hormuz Stays Blocked

Trump’s Military Threats Against Iran Are Now a Dead Letter: The Strait of Hormuz Stays Blocked

Neither the Strait of Hormuz nor Bab el‑Mandeb has reopened. On August 1, 2026, Trump canceled yet another military strike. This marked his tenth retreat from a "decisive" threat. He ludicrously claimed Iran and Middle Eastern nations begged for mercy. Trump demanded "the Immediate, Complete and Total" reopening of Hormuz. He also insisted on "an end to Iran's nuclear threat". Yet Iran flatly denied making any such request. Iranians correctly dismissed Trump's claim as "a new lie". Their armed forces remained on high alert throughout. Officials confirmed both straits would remain firmly shut. Nevertheless, the Strait of Hormuz stays blocked.…

The White House Correspondents' Association dinner awarded Wall Street Journal reporters this Friday night. The award highlighted the Trump-Epstein Connection, one of the most controversial stories. The journalists received the award for their July 2025 investigation. That investigation reported on a birthday letter Trump allegedly wrote for Epstein's 50th birthday. The Journal stated that the letter appeared in a birthday album for Epstein. The letter contained sexually suggestive language and artwork. The story quickly made headlines. It sparked political debate, legal action, and renewed interest in Trump's past ties to Epstein. Trump denied the report from the onset, calling it…

The Imperial Decline: Iran’s slap at America in the Persian Gulf

The Imperial Decline: Iran’s slap at America in the Persian Gulf

Among the sprawling network of American bases in the Persian Gulf, Kuwait's Ahmad Al Jaber Air Base—located in the region's northern part—has drawn particular attention for its role in supporting CENTCOM operations. Iran's retaliatory response has targeted this base repeatedly in recent months. Iran's response operations against American actions struck Kuwait's Ahmad Al Jaber Air Base during the strikes. This facility serves as one of Kuwait's key air force bases and also hosts American forces within CENTCOM's regional network. According to statements from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Operation Nasr 2 destroyed various elements of American military infrastructure at this…

From 53% to 40%: Trump’s Immigration Approval Hits a Record Low

From 53% to 40%: Trump’s Immigration Approval Hits a Record Low

A new poll indicates that Trump's immigration approval hits a record low, putting the Republican president's political standing in jeopardy. The irony is that immigration has long ranked as one of Trump's strongest political issues. From his first presidency, which began in 2016, through his current second term in the White House, Trump has consistently tried to project himself as a leader who can best strengthen border security and reduce illegal immigration to the United States. According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. A majority of Americans now express little confidence in Trump's approach to immigration. A…

Iran’s Coffin Factory Islands: Why Taking Iranian Territory Means 20,000 Dead and an Endless War America Cannot Win

Iran’s Coffin Factory Islands: Why Taking Iranian Territory Means 20,000 Dead and an Endless War America Cannot Win

The Pentagon has fixed its gaze upon Iran's southern islands and shores. Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and the colossal Qeshm sit like pawns across the Strait of Hormuz. Collectively, they constitute what analysts designate "a layered denial system" over the planet's most indispensable energy chokepoint. President Trump has declined to preclude their seizure. During a Situation Room assembly, he contemplated alternatives encompassing the capture of Kharg Island, through which ninety percent of Iran's crude oil exports traverse. Three US officials have confirmed that recent strikes constitute "shaping operations" — eroding Iranian defenses for subsequent, intricate undertakings. For what…

His Name Is All Over Epstein’s Filth: New Documents Shed Light on Trump’s Ties to Epstein

His Name Is All Over Epstein’s Filth: New Documents Shed Light on Trump’s Ties to Epstein

In the sordid annals of American political malfeasance, few spectacles rival the current administration's contortions. They regard the Jeffrey Epstein files. What unfolds before the body politic is not merely a notorious moral scandal, but a meticulously choreographed opera of obfuscation.Yes; It is indeed a desperate attempt to bury forensic evidence. This is hidden beneath sedimentary layers of legal and bureaucratic stonewalling. Yet the architecture of oblivion is crumbling. It is exposed not by partisan rhetoric, but by the cold, unyielding mechanics of the federal judiciary. And indeed, new documents shed light on Trump's ties to Epstein. They carry an…
