DEBATE PREP: DOES DONALD TRUMP BELIEVE HIS OWN BS?

In the investment business, they say stockbrokers never get rich, because they don't believe their own BS. Trump is rich, having fun, and leading in the polls. So maybe he does believe his own BS. In any event, he has become, in the words of Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post, “A farce to be

IRAN DEAL OPPONENTS: THE FINAL PUSH

Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu's paid and volunteer hysterics, who claim the end will be near if the Iran Deal passes, have been temporarily driven to the sidelines by the media's fascination with all things Trump. Not to worry. They're coming back. Expect the richly-financed Iran Deal opponents to go into Armageddon Overdrive as we get closer

IRAN DEAL OPPONENTS – UNGRATEFUL AND HYSTERICAL

Let's get to the point on the Iran Deal. If Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, withdrew his opposition to the Iran Deal, the following would happen: 1. Rupert Murdoch would call up his hacks at FOX, the New York Post, and the Wall Street Journal and tell them to shut up about Iran

IRAN DEAL: TWO SUPREME LEADERS THREATENED BY PEACE

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Supreme Leader of the Republican-controlled United States Congress, can't quite get his brain around the idea that the United States may actually normalize relations with a country in the Middle East, the Islamic Republic of Iran, without his permission. From Netanyahu's point of view, how is he supposed to get

THE IRAN DEAL: IT COULD END IN IMPEACHMENT

Let's cut to the chase on the Iran Deal. It could end in Impeachment. If it comes to Impeachment, that would be a good thing. Why? Because it would give the country the benefit of a knock-down, drag-out brawl over the question of who runs foreign policy in the United States of America … the

IRAN DEAL: BETTER THAN 50-50

Congress will get its say, and it will get ugly, but the Iran Deal will make it across the finish line … as it should. The way things stand now, President Obama will only need one-third plus one vote in one of the Houses of Congress to avoid Congressional rejection of the Iran Deal. We

DEALING WITH IRAN: NOT A WALK IN THE PARK

If you can imagine trying to do two complicated math problems simultaneously while a rabid dog gnaws on one ankle and a furry animal pees on the other, you've got a good idea of the task before Secretary of State John Kerry and his team, working with five other countries to get a framework agreement

NETANYAHU: AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

Each time it’s pretty much the same. We’re an ancient people; we’re always threatened; Iran is bad; the US should attack them; never again. Is the Prime Minister totally unaware of the universal truism: familiarity breeds contempt? Sometimes a new wrinkle finds its way into a Netanyahu speech. At his first address to a Joint

A TRUTHFUL NETANYAHU WOULD RIP CONGRESS. LIKE THIS.

Members of the Congress, honored guests, ladies and gentlemen: It’s good to be with you for this my third address to a Joint Meeting of Congress. I’m well aware that it is a distinct honor and a rare privilege to address the two houses of Congress in Joint Meeting. HISTORY OF JOINT MEETINGS On the

NETANYAHU AND BOEHNER: THE UNCTUOUS MANIPULATOR AND THE USEFUL IDIOT

These two were made for each other. Yiddish describes them best. Netanyahu is a schnorrer, the perpetually uninvited guest that always wants more. Boehner is a schnook, the not-so-bright dupe. Skulking around in the shadows for six weeks, Boehner and Netanyahu hit upon a scheme to benefit each other individually and undermine American foreign policy.
