Ohio’s Senate Race: Jon Husted and the Disaster of Trump’s War on Iran

Ohio’s Senate Race: Jon Husted and the Disaster of Trump’s War on Iran

I have watched Jon Husted for some time now. I find his political persona utterly repellent. He presents himself as a sober, moderate voice from the heartland. Nevertheless, his voting record reveals a deeply troubling reality. On September 24, the Senate considered a war powers resolution aimed at ending Trump’s War on Iran. That measure would have directed Trump to end it. The resolution failed by a single vote, 49 to 50. Husted was the fiftieth vote. He had told Politico just two days earlier that the war “needs to come to an end as quickly as possible”. Yet, when…

Trump’s Diesel Deal with Putin: A Betrayal of Allies in Europe and Elsewhere

Trump’s Diesel Deal with Putin: A Betrayal of Allies in Europe and Elsewhere

Donald Trump’s decision to strike a deal with Vladimir Putin to obtain Russian diesel — a move we can label, haphazardly, Trump’s Diesel Deal — represents a troubling reversal of American policy toward Moscow. At a time when Ukraine continues to defend itself against Russia and European countries are trying to reduce their dependence on Russian energy, Washington appears willing to weaken its own pressure on the Kremlin for short-term economic and political gains. The agreement, which Trump announced on October 9, 2026, involves Russian diesel deliveries to the United States and a relaxation of certain sanctions affecting those shipments.…

Trump Loses Another Legal Battle Over Restricting Birthright Citizenship

Trump Loses Another Legal Battle Over Restricting Birthright Citizenship

Donald Trump has suffered another major legal defeat in his latest attempt at restricting birthright citizenship, and that defeat raises serious questions about whether he will respect constitutional limits on presidential power. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a preliminary injunction that blocks Trump’s newest executive order. That order sought to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to children of foreign nationals who give birth on American soil. The ruling represents yet another setback for an administration that has repeatedly tried to use executive power to accomplish what it has failed to achieve through the normal constitutional and legislative process.…

The Emperor of Empty Promises: Trump’s Iran Bluff Meets Tehran’s Reality Check

The Emperor of Empty Promises: Trump’s Iran Bluff Meets Tehran’s Reality Check

Once again, Donald Trump has presented a picture of diplomatic progress with Iran that appears to have removed itself far from the reality on the ground. The U.S. president claimed this Monday that negotiations with Tehran were actively moving forward, but Iranian officials quickly rejected his version of events, creating another example of a widening gap between Trump’s public announcements and the facts that follow. This immediate dismissal from Tehran underscores the fundamental disconnect at the heart of Trump’s Iran Bluff—a strategy that relies more on dramatic press releases than on tangible diplomatic milestones. The opposing statements from Washington and…

Trump vs. Clooney — Definitely Not a President, Trump is still acting like a spoiled celebrity

Trump vs. Clooney — Definitely Not a President, Trump is still acting like a spoiled celebrity

Donald Trump opened 2026 not with governance, diplomacy, or institutional repair, but with the juvenile theatrics of celebrity combat. On New Year’s Eve, he unleashed a Truth Social rant against George Clooney and Amal Clooney for relocating to France and acquiring French citizenship with their two children—an act Trump framed as ideological treason rather than a private choice. He branded them “two of the worst political prognosticators of all time,” recycled xenophobic tropes about immigration and crime, and resurrected his personal vendetta against Joe Biden, Kamala Harris—mockingly misspelled as “Jamala(K!)”—and Democratic governors Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom. At the center…

Trump Threatened Americans and the World of Having Last Merry Christmas: Rage, Hate, and Menace

Trump Threatened Americans and the World of Having Last Merry Christmas: Rage, Hate, and Menace

Yes, it sounds unbelievable, but Donald Trump threatened Americans and the world with having their last Merry Christmas through repeated incendiary declarations, both domestically and internationally, challenging fundamental Christian teachings on truth, peace, love and justice. On Christmas night, he used Truth Social to launch a pointed attack on Democrats, the press, and his political adversaries, emphasizing self-glorification over moral accountability. The President asserted that he “was actually the only one who did drop Epstein” before any legal authority intervened, framing his actions as uniquely courageous. He accused alleged “sleazebags” of hypocrisy, highlighting their enjoyment of Epstein’s company prior to…
