13. April 2026 - 6:05
It seems likely that the negotiations will not produce an agreement. The temporary cessation of hostilities across West Asia very much hangs in the balance.

13. April 2026 - 6:03
After my last essay in mid-March where I posited the view Iran has already won, I went on a family trip and didn’t spend much time following the day-to-day events in the Persian Gulf. It seems there has been a stream of unhinged rhetorics from Trump, the Mafioso thug with a spray tan. Also some...

US President Donald Trump is going down in the most epic crash-and-burn flameout in the annals of history and political science.

13. April 2026 - 6:00
As might have been expected, the peace talks in Islamabad between America and Iran quickly ended in complete failure, breaking up in less than 24 hours.

Despise Israel and the Entire Western Empire, by Caitlin Johnstone

13. April 2026 - 6:00
Everyone hates Israel now, which is as it should be. But we all need to understand that Israel has never acted alone. If Israel were acting alone, it would be an asshole with a pointy stick instead of an asshole with an attack helicopter. The west gave it the attack helicopter. An asshole with a...

13. April 2026 - 6:00
In the aftermath of Israel’s Gaza genocide, some of the richest Jews in America have united to crush the one Republican who dared say no to their blank check, turning Kentucky’s May 2026 primary into an existential referendum on whether any anti-Zionist can survive in a Jewish-dominated political order. Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA),...

President Trump was presented with a great opportunity on Saturday to take the off-ramp from his war on Iran.

Will Trump’s Order to Blockade Iranian Ports Actually Work?, by Larry C. Johnson

12. April 2026 - 6:20
The short answer to my question is, No! The US, notwithstanding Trump’s threats, is not going to deploy its Navy ships close to Iran’s shore… The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) Carrier Strike Group (CSG 3) learned this the hardway in March. The Lincoln CSG got within 210 miles of the Iranian southern coast in March...

Dumber and Plumber: Leftism as Suicide-Cult for Whites and Self-Service Racket for Non-Whites, by Tobias Langdon

12. April 2026 - 6:10
Dumb and Dumber is an American movie about a pair of idiots who create chaos and disaster. Teletubbies is a British children’s program about a group of brightly dressed humanoids who emote rather than articulate. I’ve never seen either the movie or the program, but over the years I’ve learned what they’re about and what...

Netanyahu Says War With Iran is ‘Not Yet Over’ “Mr. Netanyahu’s allies have said that Mr. Vance’s statement indicated that the United States and Israel were closely aligned on their conditions for a cease-fire.” As I have pointed out, there can be no peace in the Middle East until Israel abandons the Zionist agenda of...

12. April 2026 - 6:00
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has accused Spain of an “anti-Israel obsession” for its criticisms of the US-Israeli war on Iran and its refusal to allow its airspace to be used in the onslaught, a perceived slight to which Israel has responded by banning Madrid from participation in a coordination center for the oversight of...

10. April 2026 - 6:20
The American electorate handed Donald Trump a mandate in 2024 with the clear expectation of carrying out mass deportations and taking a hard line against illegal immigration.
