Reprinted from John’s Substack:  On 17 March 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge about Iran and related matters. Today is the 20th anniversary — to the day — of the publication on the internet of “The Israel Lobby” in The London Review of Books. Naturally, the Judge and I talked about […]

An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war. ~ Montesquieu I get asked a lot to explain who or what drives American foreign policy. In the last few years, this question has very often centered around the US-Israeli relationship. The following is adapted from an email to my friend, George, explaining my […]

They’re dragging a disproved Iraq War storyline out of storage to sell a new war with Iran, and it matters because it’s the kind of myth that can get people killed. We sit down with Captain Matt Ho to dissect the EFP hoax: what explosively formed penetrators were, how they were used in Iraq, and […]

The Iran war is a regional war in a way that previous reckless U.S. interventions were not, and it is having global effects. The Iran war is already wider and more damaging to international peace and security in its first three weeks than the Iraq war was in its early years. If it is allowed […]

Reprinted from John’s Substack:  On 15 March 2026, I was on “Switzerland” to talk about the war in Iran with Tom Switzer. It is becoming increasingly apparent that President Trump is desperate because he understands that the US and Israel have no viable strategy for winning this war. Not only is he demanding that China […]

Reprinted from Bracing Views with the author’s permission. I wasn’t aware that evangelical leaders came to the White House to pray over Trump until I saw this article by Matt Bivens. Here’s a short video clip shared by the White House: I’ve been in oval churches, built in that shape so that there are no […]

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: After declaring several times that the US has completely won the war against Iran, President Trump has now backtracked, begging other countries to help open the Straits of Hormuz closed by Iran in response to the US/Israeli sneak attack.

US President Donald Trump threatened to attack Iran’s oil facilities if the country doesn’t unblock the Strait of Hormuz.

The bombing of Kharg Island’s military […]

Walmart has essentially eradicated all of the mom & pop grocery stores where I live in western Kentucky. Which, for better or worse, forces virtually the entire city’s population to descend on the store for grocery shopping. As you walk into the store, you will inevitably be bombarded with messages from the intercom to get […]
