I love my country, but the collective ignorance of the American people empowers so-called public servants who abuse their positions of trust to push policies that further individual agendas at the expense of the nation they ostensibly serve. Fact-based logic no longer matters.

Call sign "Sarmat"; A Conversation with Dmitri Rogozin [English subtitles] This past June I was able to sit down with Dmitri Rogozin, the former head of Roscosmos, current Senator for Zaporozhia, and the commander of the BARS Sarmat Brigade, which focusses on drone warfare in the Special Military Operation. The insights Dmitri provided about the state of play in the drone-versus-drone war being waged between Russia and Ukraine is well worth the time needed to watch the interview.

Give Peace a Chance The Drums of War are sounding loudly. It’s time to sing a different tune. “All we are saying is give peace a chance.” These words, sung by John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band, have resonated throughout the decades as a mantra embraced by well-meaning people around the world. The question remains, however: are we serious about actually giving peace a chance, or are we simply going to give lip service to a cause while being frog-marched by the powers that be toward a destiny we all can see, but refuse to acknowledge?

You people in Slovenia recognized Kosovo as an independent state, in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1244. Spare US the lectures about legality.

Reflections of a Hypocrite, Part Two: Seeking a Solution Humans are the byproduct of the conditions that define their respective lives. We need better sources of inspiration. Plato, a philosopher in Classical Greece, had a profound reflection on the importance of early education. He said, “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.” Mahatma Gandhi, a leader of India’s independence movement, stressed the importance of teaching children. He said, “If we are to teach real peace in this world… we shall have to begin with the children.” Neither Plato nor Gandhi had to grow up as a token white kid in a school full of Pacific Islanders who resented what white people had done to their nation.

I’m excited to announce my documentary REMOVED: Black Erasure In Boston has been selected for Gary International Black Film Festival in Gary, Indiana! This is the 3rd selection for REMOVED. 🥳🥳🥳

Clips like this are incredibly frustrating to me bc they make it out like the really bad part of this story is “Netanyahu funding Hamas.” That’s not the scandal. The scandal is WHY Qatar and Netanyahu had to fund Hamas: And that’s because for the last 19 years and counting, the state of Israel, regardless of who ran the government, has imposed a TOTAL air, land and sea blockade on the Gaza Strip. They have prohibited the free movement of people and products. They have instituted complete control over trade, commerce and the production of goods and services. Israel was, and still is, occupying both Gaza and the West Bank. And as the occupying power they are obligated under international law to provide necessities. But because it’s Israel, of course they refuse to pay for that. So for decades the onus has fallen on Muslim countries and allies of Palestinians in the region. Before 2012 Hamas leadership was in Syria. At the start of the Syrian war, the US asked Qatar to host Hamas instead. Qatar, wanting to curry favor with the US, agreed. Those “payments to Hamas” have gone mostly towards paying Israel for the electricity they provide to Gaza ($10 million/month) and operation of the government facilities in Gaza like schools and hospitals. So the scandal here is how “the only Democracy in the Middle East” has spent decades holding millions captive in an open air prison, guarded by robotic machine guns and denied them basic human rights why shaking down other countries to pay for it all.

This is what Robert Kraft supports. This is what Ed Sheeran didn’t want to discuss. This is what Macklemore is fighting against.

A great night at the 2026 Integrity Media Independent Journalism Awards, watching my good friends Max Blumenthal (together with his Grey Zone colleagues) and Judge Andrew Napolitano receive their much deserved recognition for their important work. Special thanks to Leonard Goodman, Patrick Sullivan, and the entire Integrity Media team for a wonderful evening.

If Ovechkin’s support of Vladimir Putin’s decision to come to the assistance of the Russian of the Donbas being subjected to cultural genocide is considered grounds for suspension from the NHL, then what about every American player who spouted support for successive American presidents who illegally invade and occupy Iraq, murdered innocent civilians around the world, and launched an illegal war of aggression against Iran? Kick them out, too? Keep politics out of sports. And don’t throw stones. Especially when you live in a glass mansion.

Merz: "No hospital, no nursing home, no construction site, no restaurant, no hotel could function today without immigrants..." * Setting aside the broader debate over whether immigration is desirable, is it not a serious failure of a government to be so dependent on immigration?

Russophobic instinct underlying the late Senator Graham’s bill approved by the House on September 16th (and earlier by the Senate) makes a grand disservice to the current Administration’s efforts to Make America Great Again. Destabilizing energy markets by blocking Russian oil and gas trade as Mideast supply is dramatically cut is an invitation to ever-higher prices at the pump close to midterm November elections. Big quarrel with Russia and China, while being geopolitically a lose-lose situation, only plays into the hands of Euro-Atlantic warmongers so eager to get Moscow, Beijing and Washington at loggerheads. This is something to ponder by those who applaud Senator Graham’s legacy.

🚨BREAKING NEWS Russian Military Official General Apti Alaudinov: We no longer detect as many American or Western European foreign fighters as we did at the start of the war. I think they have realized by now that there is nothing here for them.

77% of Ukrainians believe that it is necessary to continue fighting against Russia, even if it attacks energy infrastructure during the winter, according to a KMIS poll. The other 23% live in Ukraine.
