Mike Rogers Called Trump’s Iran War a ‘Win’ — Michigan Families Are Paying the Bill

I have spent my adult life in uniform. Again and again, I have watched men die for decisions by people who never carried a rifle. So when I see Mike Rogers preening about a war he championed, I feel cold disgust. Rogers is the Republican nominee for the Senate from Michigan. He is also a shameless enabler of Trump’s Iran war. In April 2026, Rogers called that war a historic chance for peace. He called it “the best opportunity for peace in the Middle East I’ve ever seen” and described Iran as “absolutely a toothless wonder.” He called the war…

Elon Musk’s $7 Million Spending for Jon Husted Raises Questions About Big Tech’s Political Influence

Elon Musk is directing more than $7 million toward efforts to re-elect Republican Sen. Jon Husted of Ohio, raising fresh concerns about the influence of wealthy technology executives over American politics and the future of artificial intelligence regulation. According to an October 19 report by the Ohio Capital Journal, Musk was channeling the money through independent political organizations supporting Husted’s campaign. The disclosure comes as Husted faces a competitive Senate race against former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While outside political spending is legal under federal campaign finance rules, the scale of Musk’s financial…

The Price People Pay: Ashley Hinson Betrayed Iowa Families for Trump’s War on Iran

I have watched politicians run from their records for decades. I have rarely seen one sprint with such unseemly desperation. Ashley Hinson is now running for the Senate in Iowa. She is trailing badly. Consequently, she has discovered a sudden horror of Trump's war on Iran. She says Iowans are being “squeezed” and “shouldn’t have to foot the bill at the pump or the checkout line”. That is rich coming from a woman who voted seven times to keep the meter running. In private, she admitted the war is a “political liability” because “we’ve lost Iowa soldiers”. In public, she…

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…

Mike Rogers Faces Questions Over Personal Attacks in Michigan Senate Race

Republican candidate Mike Rogers is facing growing scrutiny over his campaign rhetoric after denying that he has engaged in personal attacks against his Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed. He delivered his remarks amid an increasingly hostile Michigan Senate race, and those remarks have raised questions about the consistency between his public criticism of political divisiveness and his own approach to the race. Rogers addressed the controversy on October 16 during a luncheon that the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce hosted at Detroit’s MotorCity Casino. His comments came one day after Vice President JD Vance, speaking at a rally in Monroe, Michigan,…

Dan Sullivan Stands with Trump as Alaska’s Heating Bills Explode

I have watched a lot of spineless politicians in my time. I have never watched one quite like Dan Sullivan. The man from Alaska has made himself perfectly clear. He supports Donald Trump’s illegitimate war on Iran. Sullivan stands with Trump. He has voted fourteen times against War Powers resolutions. Fourteen times, he chose party over Constitution. That is not leadership. That is cowardice dressed in a senator’s suit. I want every Alaskan to hear that number. Fourteen. It should follow Sullivan everywhere he goes. This is not a complicated story. It is a story about a man who swore…

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

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.…

Susan Collins: How to Back Trump’s War on Iran and Campaign Against It !

I am Scott Ritter. Having served as a Marine intelligence officer in the Gulf War and having spent seven years as a UN weapons inspector in Iraq, I resigned from UNSCOM when Washington refused to enforce the mandates it had written. Consequently, I know the architecture of a lie dressed as intelligence. Accordingly, Trump’s war on Iran is an illegal war of aggression: it has no domestic authorization and no international legitimacy. Notably, Susan Collins supported it when it began. At that time, she did not call it illegal; likewise, she did not call it unconstitutional. Instead, she supported it.…

Dan Sullivan Faces Growing Criticism Over Support for Trump Policies

Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska increasingly faces growing criticism over his close alignment with President Donald Trump, as some administration policies increasingly draw scrutiny for their impact on the state’s economy. The criticism is particularly strong within Alaska’s fishing industry, a sector that depends heavily on international trade. While Sullivan has presented his relationship with Trump as an advantage for Alaska, opponents argue that his support for Trump policies has sometimes come at the expense of the state’s economic interests. One of the clearest points of disagreement involves Trump’s tariff policies. Sullivan has continued to back the administration’s approach…
