Reviews and Reflections on Life In America
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) U.S. President Donald Trump was telling the truth when he told the New York Post he didn’t “have the yips” about sending troops to Iran. Myriad news outlets confirmed that almost 2,500 Marines are headed to the region in what appears to be the beginning of “boots on the ground,” and possibly, another endless war on behalf of Israel. Trump...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Donald Trump, the president who promised no more “stupid” foreign wars, as Vice President J.D. Vance called them, spent $11.3 billion of taxpayer money in the first six days of the war against Iran. If that rate held through today, then the war has cost almost $25 billion. The New York Times’ report on the almost $2 billion per day price tag comes after...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) During an interview about the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran with Fox commentator Sean Hannity, GOP Senator Lindsey Graham declared that he is “with Israel” until his “dying day,” and that he had gone to South Carolina to encourage parents to “send their sons and daughters” to die in the Middle East on Israel’s behalf. The interview follows a report from The...
By Wayne Allensworth During the Iraq war, especially at its onset, I noticed something: Disturbingly, GOP voters, maybe even more so among church-going voters, were enthused about the war. And not just about this war, it seemed to me, but about war, period. They — including some people I attended church with — reveled in the destruction of the “Shock-and-Awe” campaign as if it were a video game...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted today that President Donald Trump’s “wise decision” to attack Iran on Saturday wasn’t his. Instead, it was Israel’s. U.S. officials knew Israel would strike Iran, Rubio said. Thus, he confessed, Trump had no choice because Iran would retaliate against not only Israel, but also U.S. bases and personnel in the...
By Wayne Allensworth As of Monday, with the war in its third day, Israel is striking Southern Lebanon, the first US casualties have been recorded, and Kuwait shot down three American warplanes in a “friendly fire” incident (the pilots are reportedly alright). Meanwhile, Iran launched a missile attack on a a British military base in Cyprus. The war is spreading. Israel has been bombarded by...
By Wayne Allensworth They’ve done it. The war with Iran is on. The U.S. and Israel launched air strikes across the country this morning. President Donald Trump appealed to Iranians to take to the streets and “control their destiny” by overturning the current regime. He warned that Iranian military forces and police face “certain death” if they do not lay down their arms. Iran Supreme Leader Ali...
By Wayne Allensworth My father taught me the most about living in an all-too-corrupt world. He was a simple man, a carpenter by trade. But like many of the men I knew growing up, he lived by an unspoken code; he never fully articulated his rules for life’s road, but they were evident in his actions. Put simply, some things he would not do. When he contracted for a job, say remodeling a house, or...
By Wayne Allensworth A neighbor recently asked me what in the world was going on with President Trump, Iran, Israel, and the Epstein scandal. I usually preface a reply to such an inquiry with one question, “Do you really want to know?” Too often, many of us don’t want to know. We don’t want to rid ourselves of ideology, shallow understanding, and the sense that we are secure in rooting for “our...
By Wayne Allensworth See my previous articles The Global Elite Unmasked (The Epstein Files) and Eyes Wide Shut (Epstein’s Birthday Book) for background and context. See also The Godfather Tragedy and the Way the World Works. Vladimir Putin once said that the Western elite’s “Vampire’s ball” was coming to an end. “They have been filling their bellies with human flesh” and stuffing their pockets...
