A Nuremberg Tribunal for ISIS and Friends
War has always been a political venture with the victors taking the “booty” so to speak. WW One changed the amounts of money to be made on war and history has never been the same. Our current “never ending” wars have taken profiteering to hard-to-fathom levels.…
German election’s message to Greece: looks like Grexit is coming
Gosh, the Neos would have us believe that “meddling” in foreign governments governance is wrong. I guess the real message is that meddling in our elections is wrong but it’s ok is we do it.…

Swamp Worries That a Luther Strange Defeat ‘Could Prompt Some GOP Senators to Retire’
The Alabama senate election is turning into a microcosm of everything that is wrong in national politics. The deepstate is spending many millions of dollars to protect their agenda. The leader in the polls has collected less than half a million. But if Judge Moore's victory will cause mass retirements of the swamp, I’m all for it. Think about what they are actually saying here. They have to protect the swamp so they want have to face angry voters.… (4 comments)
