President Vaporware is at it again. As with the “great” health care plan he assured us would replace Obamacare “immediately”; the elimination of the entire national debt in eight years; the big, beautiful wall Mexico was supposed to pay for; and a newly great America that never quite seemed to materialize, Trump is digging in his front…

Donald Trump is not normal. The media must stop asking him ‘normal’ questions
I have a lot of questions for Donald Trump. I’m sure you do too. I’ve always wanted to participate in one of those town hall-style presidential debates so I could ask questions of my least favorite presidential candidates. Unfortunately, people whose word I implicitly trust have told me I’d have to leave the house to do…

Wrong-way Trump is on a one-way road to war with Iran
The United States was the world’s lone “hyperpower” when President George W. Bush launched his disastrous and unnecessary war with Iraq in 2003. An economic and military hegemon unchallenged by any single enemy or collection of rivals, the U.S. could and did act with impunity in swiftly toppling Saddam Hussein’s regime in Baghdad. But even…
Next year in Tehran?
As President Obama faced the looming re-election campaign in the spring of 2012, he issued a stern challenge to those critics of his approach to the Iranian nuclear program. “When I see some of these folks who have a lot of bluster and a lot of big talk but when you actually ask them specifically…
