Zeev Jabotinsky Zionist Congress – Public Domain Zionism was never a simple movement for Jewish refuge from persecution. It emerged in the late 19th century as a distinctly Western European settler-colonial ideology, shaped by the same imperial logic that carved up Africa and Asia. Its founding thinkers — Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, and others — explicitly looked to European colonialism as their model. Herzl, the father of political Zionism, openly described the future Jewish state as “a portion of the rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism.” He actively sought charters from colonial powers…

Earlier this week, the Energy Department announced that it would give its surplus plutonium from dismantled warheads to five energy startups—Oklo, Exodys Energy, SHINE Technologies, Standard Nuclear, and Flibe Energy—to use as fuel for commercial nuclear reactors. The move, which has sparked controversy, is yet another example of the Trump administration’s push to accelerate nuclear energy, albeit through unconventional methods. Some of the administration’s other moves happened a year ago this week, when President Donald Trump issued four executive orders aimed at revitalizing America’s commercial nuclear industry. These orders sought to bolster the country’s nuclear industrial base, reform technology testing…

President Trump is in Beijing for a highly anticipated summit, and according to Chinese media, he was warned by President Xi Jinping NOT to mess with Taiwan, and that U.S. interference China’s internal affairs would cause “clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy.” But at least Trump got his “photo-op” which was the only real takeaway for US – a grim reminder that the U.S. is in an increasingly weak position on the global stage, amid its ongoing illegal war against Iran. All this and more. Host Rachel Blevins speaks with 21st Century Wire editor Patrick Henningsen about the latest. Watch: …
Washington periodically rediscovers the idea of suspending the federal gasoline tax whenever fuel prices rise and voters grow restless, and the White House and a bipartisan handful of lawmakers are once again contemplating a suspension of the tax. The proposal is politically tempting because it can be marketed as immediate relief for motorists. But let’s face things head-on: This would represent a change distinctly less than salutary. It would be a small – and largely cosmetic – gesture that obscures a much larger problem the country has spent years loath to confront: the gas tax-funded Highway Trust Fund, which faces insolvency. …
