Shots fired inside the hotel hosting the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner attended by President Donald Trump caused immediate confusion about the suspect and what transpired at the April 25 event. Trump and many government officials and journalists focused on questions about how a person was able to fire a gun in the same building — not the same room — as the president, raising questions about security nearly two years after Trump was the target of two separate assassination attempts. Several news outlets identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, citing unnamed government sources. As…

Bint Jbail, South Lebanon – Israel has announced its intent to militarily occupy South Lebanon with its eyes set on the symbolic town of Bint Jbail. In preparation for this land theft, the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah have put up a stiff resistance and managed to inflict a large number of casualties amongst enemy soldiers. During the last large-scale Israeli invasion of Lebanese territory in 2006, its armed forces had managed to reach the Litani River area, some 32 kilometers from the border within thirty days. In over 40 days of fighting, this time around, they have largely failed to move much…
I guess the gay frogs had the last laugh after all… For those of you who don’t understand the reference, Alex Jones’s Infowars —or rather, what’s left of it after his legal battle with the Sandy Hook victims left him in bankruptcy— is about to be acquired by The Onion, whose first order of business will be to change the company’s logo to something more, um, suitable. All fine by us, as far as we are concerned. Jones is a piece of garbage who should have been kicked out of the alternative scene a long time ago. I just hope…
A ceasefire can be the start of peace, or it can be the quiet moment when both sides reload. That’s the question driving my return conversation with Professor Glenn Diesen as we dissect the US-Iran negotiations, the sudden focus on a short extension, and the strategic shockwave created when Iran seizes leverage around the Strait of Hormuz. We dig into why force movements matter more than press releases, from carrier deployments to the logic of “locked and loaded” threats against dual-use infrastructure. Glenn explains why a temporary truce may simply create the breathing room needed to regroup, rearm, and restart…
About an hour after a shooting inside the venue hosting the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, President Donald Trump — who attended and was quickly evacuated — said the incident showed why the White House should have its own secure ballroom. Ignoring standard procedures such as seeking approval from the National Capital Planning Commission, Trump has moved forward with construction of a 90,000-square-foot structure on what had been the East Wing of the White House, which he bulldozed last year. He has said the ballroom is being privately financed with $400 million in donations. At a White House press conference…

President Donald Trump said that he was cutting engagement in the Pakistani-hosted talks with Iran. “If they want to talk, they can come to us, or they can call us. You know, there is a telephone. We have nice, secure lines,” the President told Fox News on Sunday. “They know what has to be in the agreement. It’s very simple: they cannot have a nuclear weapon, otherwise there’s no reason to meet.” While the White House has issued a myriad of demands to Tehran, in recent days, the President has focused on Iran’s nuclear program. Before the US and Israeli…
