Reviews and Reflections on Life In America
By Wayne Allensworth The midterm GOP blowout has turned Texas “blue.” The only state-wide elected official is Republican Senator Ted Cruz. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. Beyond the Trump Administration’s blatant betrayal of the coalition it put together in 2024 is something few Republicans want to talk about: demographics. The last time I checked, Texas is...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) President Donald Trump has again confessed that the war in Iran and high gas prices are responsible for the GOP’s election debacle on November 3. Speaking to Ross Douthat on CBS’s 60 Minutes, however, Trump added a third reason: “dislike” for Israel. Trump also might have surprised long-time MAGA supporters by claiming his immigration policy was “too tough,”...
by R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) The U.S. Central Command is offering a $20 million reward for information about Iran’s nuclear program. The reward is something of a strange development given that President Trump attacked Iran, supposedly, to stop the nation from building a nuclear weapon. That reason for the war would seem to have meant the military knew everything about Iran’s nuclear...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New Amwerican) The Israel-First American Israel Public Affairs Committee took a beating in Tuesday’s midterm election, but the $55.3 million it spent on losing candidates won’t likely affect its virtual control of Congress. Tuesday’s result stupefied AIPAC in particular, and the Israel Lobby in general, notably because of its role in defeating America First GOP...
by R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Critics of aid to Israel say President Donald Trump’s 11th-hour election appeal saying he would end this nation’s almost $4 billion annual commitment to Israel is a hollow promise. The reason: The money will simply move from the State Department budget to the Pentagon’s because of a little-known codicil tucked into the National Defense Authorization Act of...
by R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Vice President JD Vance summed up the Democrats’ shellacking of Republicans in yesterday’s midterm election in six words: “The reason we lost is the war.” Which is exactly what exit polls showed as well. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sold President Trump a bill of goods to get him to attack Iran, while neoconservative warmongers claimed the war...
By Wayne Allensworth The Trump Administration and its allies are preparing for war. It will be a wider, more intense war, but again ostensibly aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons with a nuclear program “we” had claimed to destroy. The end game for the Zionist/Neocon Axis is actually chaos in Iran, possible regime change, and a cover for completing the genocidal dirty work of...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Two contractors who work for GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers’ campaign in Michigan are foreign agents for Israel. Spokesman Abigail Ronson and communications specialist Jesse Stokes both toil for an outfit called Convergence Media, a foreign agent for Israel, Drop Site News reported yesterday. They also work for something called Havas Media Network, yet...
By Wayne Allensworth Myths have varied layers of meaning. Existentialist philosopher Albert Camus thought the myth of Sisyphus underscored life’s absurdity. Every trial was Sisyphus’ vainly pushing that boulder up the hill until he failed and it rolled backward. Then he began again. The tale reflects Nietzsche’s eternal recurrence. To no end. The only solution, Camus thought, was to embrace the...
By Wayne Allensworth I’ve written a lot on these themes in recent articles. A good place to start for background and references for interested readers would be to follow the links in my recent article Nihilism in the Trump Era (We All Die Anyway). We are again being subjected to dire warnings from both wings of the Epstein Party that the next election is critical, that Armageddon will be the...
