Reviews and Reflections on Life In America
By Wayne Allensworth The United States of America will soon mark its 250th birthday. But America as such is but a vestige within the body of a failing empire. By “America,” I mean the cultural and demographic core that once defined our country. With a diminishing and divided “red” and “blue” core, “we” are a chaotic mass of competing interest and identity groups. The result might well be...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) A year ago today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced that Iran’s nuclear facilities “have been destroyed” in Operation Midnight Hammer. The facilities would require “years” to rebuild. CIA chief John Ratcliffe said much the same thing. Next day, the White House published a news release: Experts Agree: Iran’s Nuclear...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) For the second time this year and the third time in two years, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has embarrassed the Trump administration. Also for the second time, he suggested that his true loyalty lies with Israel. Contradicting President Donald Trump, who rightly said Israel would not exist without the United States, Huckabee said the United States...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding that ended the war in Persian Gulf for 60 days until final details of a peace deal are negotiated. Trump signed the pact at the Palace of Versailles in France, while Pezeshkian signed electronically from his office. The signing had been scheduled...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Vice President JD Vance told Israeli officials today that they might want to behave themselves even if they don’t like the U.S.-Iran peace deal signed yesterday in France. The reason: American taxpayers are the reason — the only reason — Israel can defend itself. And American tax dollars foot the bill for the war against Iran. He said much the same thing in...
By Wayne Allensworth There comes a point in your life when resignation takes over. You can sound alarms and experience the horror of realizing just how bad things are — and how much worse they can get. In my youth, such insights drove me. Then you realize that no one is listening or takes your warnings all that seriously. As time goes by, seeming to accelerate as old age changes your frame of...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) President Donald Trump said today that U.S. forces will take Iran’s Kharg Island, which handles 90 percent of the nation’s oil exports, and take control of the nation’s energy infrastructure. Such a move would require U.S. ground troops. And, he vowed as well, we will hit Iran “very hard” tonight. The threat came after U.S. forces escalated their attack on...
by R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) A Sudanese asylum faker attempted to behead a white man in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Monday, but a rescuer arrived at the scene and clobbered the African maniac with a hurling stick. News reports say that mass protests announced by immigration patriot Tommy Robinson failed to materialize, but the Daily Mail and other media reported that...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (Th New American) The U.S. Army reportedly secretly deployed part of the 82nd Airborne Division to Israel in April as part of a “contingency plan” to seize Kharg Island, the nerve center of Iran’s petroleum industry. While the 82nd’s move to the Middle East to fortify the U.S. Central Command in March was widely reported, publicly unknown was that part of the force landed in...
By R. Cort Kirkwood (The New American) Buried in the U.S. Senate’s 2027 Intelligence Authorization Act is a little-noticed section that, like Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, will further entangle the United States with Israel. Section 622 of the intelligence act orders the president to “expand and enhance intelligence sharing,” with Israel, a dangerous codicil given...
