Trump sincerely believes that God has entrusted him with the mission of saving America, and through it, the world. When, in July 2024, Donald Trump, speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania, turned his head to look at the teleprompter screen, a bullet fired from an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, instead of shattering his skull, merely grazed […]

Trump is actively destroying it. “We are just getting started,” Trump’s secretary of “war,” Pete Hegseth, said yesterday, adding that the attacks on Iran will escalate, with “death and destruction all day long.” So far more than 1,000 civilians have been killed in Iran, according to human rights monitors, including 180 children, most of them […]

Speaking to journalists at the White House today, where he was hosting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, US President Donald Trump announced that he had decided to start a war to prevent Iranian attacks. “We were negotiating with these lunatics, and I thought they were going to attack. They were going to attack if we hadn’t […]

Trump and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran is premised on a gossamer web of assumptions and inferences. Trump says Iran has enough nuclear material to build a bomb within days, will soon have long-range missiles capable of hitting the United States, and plans an attack. But he has offered no evidence. Most experts say he’s wrong. […]

“Bombs will fall everywhere. When we’re done, seize your government. It will be yours. This will likely be your only chance in generations,” Trump addressed the Iranian people, standing on the green lawn at Mar-a-Lago. “America stands with you with overwhelming force and destructive power. Now is the time to take your destiny into your […]

Two forces are stopping sensible regulation of AI. He’s one of them. Which is more important to you? Allowing Pete Hegseth to use artificial intelligence (AI) however he wants, OR preventing AI from doing mass surveillance of Americans and creating lethal weapons without human oversight? That’s the stark choice posed by the intensifying fight between […]

“We are going to destroy their missiles and level their missile industry,” Trump declared. US President Donald Trump confirmed in a video posted on social media that the United States has launched a “massive and ongoing” military campaign in Iran, “to prevent this very evil, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our fundamental national security […]

The Supreme Court ruled that not all tariffs were illegal, and Trump could introduce others, but he can no longer arbitrarily manage tariffs and use them as a leverage tool. The first thing Trump did after learning about the Supreme Court’s decision and insulting the judges was to announce the introduction of a universal flat […]

The Supreme Court’s tariff decision extends far beyond tariffs. It stops Trump from deciding not to spend money Congress appropriated, and from going to war without Congress’s approval. A 6-3 majority of the Supreme Court decided yesterday that Trump cannot take core powers that the Constitution gives Congress. Instead, Congress must delegate that power clearly […]

President Donald Trump announced yesterday that he is instructing the Pentagon and other government agencies to identify and declassify files related to aliens and UFOs due to the “enormous interest” in society. Trump made this statement on social media a few hours after accusing former President Barack Obama of disclosing classified information. On Sunday, Obama […]
