[ad_1] The CIA doubted the veracity of a purported threat from Iran to the President’s life during the July NATO summit in Ankara, according to an article published in the Washington Post Wednesday. The information on that threat, which led Trump to secretly leave Air Force One via a catering cart to fly home on a second plane, came from Israel’s spy services (as the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week). According to new reporting from the Post, America’s intelligence community did not agree with the Israeli assessment, with one U.S. intelligence official describing the assassination threat as “Israeli-derived,…

[ad_1] Roberto Clemente needs no introduction to baseball fans. In his nearly two decades with the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Hall of Famer won two World Series titles, an MVP Award, and a dozen Gold Gloves. Clemente was known just as well for his work off the field. In 1972, just months after collecting his 3,000th hit, Clemente died in a plane crash while en route to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. For more than 50 years, the Clemente family has used the Roberto Clemente trademark to preserve his legacy. The Clementes license the trademark sparingly, using it for…

[ad_1] Roger D. Harris, Francisco Dominguez, and María Paez Victor, Popular Resistance. “Nothing is easier than to be idealistic on behalf of others.” Karl Marx, 1858 Under cover of night, the US military kidnapped the lawful Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and National Assembly deputy Cilia Flores on January 3, 2026. Collateral damage included over 100 fatalities of civilians and Cuban and Venezuelan guards. This unprovoked surprise attack flagrantly violated international law. The hegemon acted in full expectation that it could operate with impunity. Even the neighboring left-leaning governments of Brazil and Colombia offered only mild rebukes. Then Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil…

[ad_1] Since March, America has been running an accidental experiment and glimpsing what the country might look like without one of its dumbest statutes. The results are in, and they embarrass a century’s worth of U.S. lawmakers and defenders. The statute is the Jones Act, passed in 1920 to rebuild and protect the U.S. merchant marine fleet after World War I disrupted American shipping capabilities. It requires that any vessel moving cargo between two American ports must be built in an American shipyard, be American-owned, and be at least three-quarters American-crewed. Miss any one of these marks and the shipper…

[ad_1] Bruce Gagnon, Space for Peace. Recent reports indicate a serious mutiny situation aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Seven U.S. Navy personnel have possibly been killed and several others injured in a violent clash among the crew, highlighting growing unrest and morale issues during an extended deployment. Worried families vented their anxieties about loved ones onboard the Lincoln at an emotional town hall meeting with navy leaders in San Diego last Thursday, Stars and Stripes reported. One spouse among the 200 or so family members said that her husband had texted her that day saying “he hopes he doesn’t wake up tomorrow”. A…

[ad_1] The American Conservative’s Senior Editor Luke Nicastro and Associate Editor Joseph Addington are joined by Charles Benoit, Trade Counsel at the Center for a Prosperous America, to discuss the Trump administration’s trade policies. The discussion focused on how the White House has navigated its tariff strategy after the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision striking down its authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

[ad_1] Since its last two murders in mid-July, ICE, mothballed for a mere 24-hours, has dropped out of the news. Its stop and shoot habit, one can only assume, is approved by the man who nixed the Department of Homeland Security’s pause of it, namely Donald “Deporter-In-Chief” Trump. On July 13, an ICE agent shot and killed Johan Guerrero, who was not the operation’s intended target. In other words, ICE would have you believe he was collateral damage in some Marvel-Comics war on immigrant criminals. But ICE’s war is on immigrants per se (as everybody knows), whether or not they…

[ad_1] One of President Donald Trump’s few successful diplomatic initiatives during his first term was meeting North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un. Trump’s move shocked the “Blob,” as the foreign policy establishment has been called. However, it represented a welcome alternative approach after Washington’s decades-long, failed effort to suffocate the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Unfortunately, Trump’s own effort crashed and burned after the collapse of the 2019 Hanoi summit. Blame for that result was much debated. Afterwards, Pyongyang abandoned engagement with both the United States and the Republic of Korea. And after that, the Ukraine War dramatically transformed…
