Awaken a Sleeping Giant: Trump Has Set a Fire in Jerusalem He Can’t Control

Reading Time: 3 minutes So for today, while Ivanka and husband are posing for the cameras and doing a media tour, trigger-happy Isreali soldiers are pushing peace further and further off the table. Isis and other groups will take a different approach than the peaceful protestors to defeat the Israelis and the U.S. by default. There will be no shortage of “martyrs”. There never is.

There are lots of ways to start a war. You can, in fact, start a war at a fancy ribbon-cutting ceremony. You can only push people so far before fighting back is a matter of survival. In the occupied territories, survival on a daily basis is very uncertain.

What is a Suspicious Activity Report, (SAR) and Why Should You Care?

Reading Time: 5 minutes The Treasury Department has opened an investigation into whether bank records belonging to President Trump’s private lawyer were illegally leaked to the lawyer for porn actress Stormy Daniels.

Reading Time: < 1 minute This is one of those “This is not a drill” moments in world politics. The ramifications of this move could play out for generations to come. While Iran’s adult leaders are trying to smooth the waters by saying the deal will go on without the U.S., it’s not much of a deal without us. For hell’s sake, even Putin doesn’t agree with Trump’s decision.

The Moment When Trump Supporters Lost Their Moral High Ground Defending Trump’s Private Life

Reading Time: 4 minutes The pseudo-moral outcry from the right that Trump’s marriage should be off-limits is insane. Trump handed over his moral supremacy long before that debate. However, on that night, when he created a moment in time that could only be made for TV, by marching those women into that debate hall, he took the moral high ground for defending him away from all his supporters. As they continue to beat that drum at best they look out of touch and hypocritical. At worst they seem unhinged and desperate.
