Marco Rubio Probably isn’t silly enough to think he’ll be the next president. Wish we could say the same for the rest of the US establishment.

Jake Tapper gets offended if you don’t celebrate the assassination that started our insane Iran war. That’s pretty weird. We decided to look into that for today’s video.

The horrors in Sudan do not excuse Israel’s crimes. In fact, Sudan is, in part, another crime Israel is helping to commit. Today’s video is accompanied by a substack pointing out how the UAE has no discernible goals. It’s just fomenting chaos for the sake of chaos.

What we did to Iraq is a tragedy. Let’s talk about it.

In 1956, the Suez crisis showed that the British Empire was basically over. A lot of people are suggesting, both in a mournful and a gloating way, that Trump’s Iran fail may be something similar. They’re wrong. This is why.

The Iran war needs to stop as soon as possible. To make that vital case I’ve had a couple big publishing days here at the More Freedom Foundation. Yesterday we had a conversation with PF Jung on his channel. This morning we published our weekly podcast on Trump’s epic failure in Iran. Tonight we published our video explaining why China is the biggest winner in this war. And also a substack on the fact that the Persian Gulf will never be the same.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. After 45 solid years of Reaganite bipartisan rampaging in the direction of deregulation and “market-based solutions”, the Trump presidency can only be seen as a sort of psychopathy. To every action there is a reaction, and I believe the United States has been moving one direction for 45 years, first steadily, then psychotically. We’ve got 45 more months of Trump, but I think it’s already time to start thinking about what comes after. Not just after Trump, but after his complete discrediting of the past 45 years of political orthodoxy in the United States. I hope you enjoy my first effort at that.

One of my favorite description’s of journalism is “writing the first draft of history”. I would certainly never presume to call myself a journalist, but I am definitely interested in history drafting. That’s definitely what I’m attempting with today’s video. I have already published a fair amount on Afghanistan, first in short angry bursts, and then in a longer live version. This is my first attempt to reckon with the legacy of Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal with a full, produced video. Among foreign policy nerds like me, there is a growing consensus that Joe Biden saved both the Afghan and American people from decades of horror by biting the bullet and dragging the US military out of there. The problem is that nobody is publicizing this emerging consensus. What the voters, and the pollsters every president listens to, will remember is the two week media freak out that we all saw in late August and Early September. That’s a very bad thing, if we ever want a US president to end a war again. No matter how disappointed I am in other areas (Yemen!), I think it’s vital to celebrate Joe Biden’s Afghanistan success. So that’s what today’s video does.

Mike Pompeo really pisses me off. He’s probably the worst Secretary of State we have ever had. He owes his meteoric rise to being better at Brown-nosing Trump than anybody else. And to top it all off, he spent four years betraying Donald Trump’s one good idea, to the detriment of the country and the world. Infuriatingly, this guy now seems to believe he’s a serious candidate for US president. Unsurprisingly he’s a favored candidate of the military industrial complex, which is why newspapers continue to take him seriously. He rarely makes it to 1% in polls for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. Today’s video is an attempt to help keep it that way.

Let me explain something about the psychology of Americans to any Hamas supporters or anti-anti-Hamas folks who may be out there. This could just be me, but I think it probably applies much more widely. In recent years I have been falling away from the knee-jerk, no questions asked, pro-Israel stance I was born with. For a week now I have been following events in Israel & Palestine with growing outrage. I am stewing about the injustice of what now seems to be a permanent state of apartheid. I spent the past two days putting together a video condemning the occupation and urging change. After the news that 20 Gazans had been murdered, including 9 children, I became even more outraged, and spent last night looking for ways to make the video more scathing and angry…
…and then I woke up this morning to find that Hamas had successfully murdered two Israelis.
I just spent the morning making my video more mild and milquetoast and “Both sides”. I briefly considered bagging the vid entirely and running a rant on that pipeline attack instead. You can already see the effects in this post. I say Hamas murdered Israelis. But I just said that the Gazans were murdered. By who? Who knows? I am an American and Israelis have been murdered, I don’t care anymore. Is this unfair? Of course! I am deeply conscious of this messed up psychological tic that still values Palestinian life about a tenth as much as Israeli life. I hate that about myself. But it’s still there. And I am somebody who is trying to do better. A lot of people who may have been paying attention to this conflict for the first time will now tune it out entirely. “Sad they can’t get along, not my business.” Today’s video, which I will still run, highlighted a shift that I was seeing in US media post-Trump, and post-War on Terror. This Palestinian uprising felt different. US media was paying attention and getting beyond the AIPAC talking points. This uprising no longer feels so different. Hamas rockets have sent this set of “clashes” straight back to the standard media playbook. We ARE in a new era. Palestine does have new opportunities. But none of them will be realized with this old playbook. Hamas is the Israeli occupation’s best friend.
