I wrote several months ago about the threat of Iranian nuclear weapons development, and its deadly threat to Israel. Today, it seems highly likely that there will be an attack on Iran's nuclear development facilities soon, by Israel and possibly assisted by the United States.

As expected, the idea of a 30-day ceasefire in the Russian War on Ukraine wasn't viable. The idea never made any sense, and still doesn't, because the basic problem—the fact that Russia wants eventually to control Ukraine—wasn't even on the table.

There is little reason to believe that a Trump-engineered ceasefire in the Ukraine-Russia war will lead to anything but further discord. A ceasefire is useful if both parties in a war have either achieved their goals or become exhausted, and neither has occurred.

Donald Trump's way of handling international relations is unique. The media calls it transactional, sometimes as a compliment, other times as a criticism, but we are beginning to see why other US Presidents didn't use this way of dealing with other countries.

In his recent remarks about Ukraine, Trump has done substantial harm to his presidency. He did this by showing that his Ukraine policy—whatever it turns out to be—is not based on any current knowledge about a war that has been going on for several years. In his ignorance and naivete, Trump simply adopted the false […]

After reading press reports about Donald Trump's conversations with Vladimir Putin, it's difficult to see what benefits Ukraine will get from the talks among Russia, the US and Ukraine that are supposed to occur sometime in the immediate future. Recently, Trump has even suggested that Ukraine might not be a party to his talks with […]

There are reports that Iran has accelerated its effort to develop a nuclear weapon. It is surprising that they would let it be known following Israeli air attacks that devasted Iran's air defenses several weeks ago, leaving the country's nuclear development facilities vulnerable.

Things in Ukraine today are far different from what most observers would have expected when Trump took office. His iconic statement during the campaign that he would end the Ukraine War in 24 hours is now only Trumpian history, but the question is why.

Trump's pardoning of the people convicted of attacking the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was the worst act by an American president in my lifetime, and if more Republican Congressmembers don't denounce it, it will indelibly stain the GOP for years to come.

Even before his inauguration, Donald Trump began to disrupt the world. He has now disrupted the world with three possible priorities—making Canada a state of the United States, acquiring Greenland, and taking back the Panama Canal.

In a 2023 landmark case, Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. (SFFA) v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, the Supreme Court held that Harvard's admissions process for new students violated the US Constitution's guarantee of "equal protection of the laws." The Court found that the Harvard's system for admitting new students did not meet any "measurable or rational" standards.

Last May, the Supreme Court issued a surprising and controversial decision in a case called Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association. The majority opinion was written by Justice Thomas, with dissents by Justices Alito and Gorsuch. The Court held that the CFPB (called the "Bureau") could become an agency within the Federal […]

In a recent NBC television interview, Donald Trump noted that some of the people who opposed his election should be "in jail," and those of his supporters who attacked and ransacked the Capitol will be pardoned and released from prison after he takes office.

Donald Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General was a shocking choice, even for Trump—very possibly the worst choice for a cabinet post in US history. The fascinating question is why Trump did it.
