By John & Nisha Whitehead “We’re fighting wars, we can’t take care of … daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things… We have to take care of one thing: military protection.”—President Donald J. Trump Every bomb dropped abroad is a bill sent home. Every war waged in the name of
Bosses. You can’t live with ‘em, you can’t shoot ‘em. Well, you could shoot them, but you’d end up in the personnel manager’s office with a black mark on your employment record. Any of us who’ve ever had a job or jobs working for any number of companies or individuals
March 31, 2026Dear editor; In his March 26 letter entitled “Trump Derangement and its Syndrome”, Mr. Hoehne stated a case opposing president Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran. Part of his justification opposing bombing was “There was no imminent danger, no national emergency,…”. This is nonsense! All it does is show
April 6, 2026Dear editor; As we cannot tolerate another rogue nation like North Korea, I agree with president Donald Trump that Iran’s nuclear arsenal needs to be destroyed.

From the vault: March 2, 2017 (revised): Dear readers, I am hereby officially announcing my intent to run for the office of President of the United States of America in 2028. I have thought long and hard (about five minutes) concerning this decision, and I have concluded that it is
By John & Nisha Whitehead “We negotiate with bombs.”— Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary for the Donald Trump Administration The language of modern government is the language of empire. It is the language of domination, retaliation, conquest and control—of enemies to be crushed, nations to be subdued, and dissenters to be
March 23, 2026Dear editor; Over the past couple weeks, our current commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, has provided multiple demonstrations of his unworthiness to hold that title.

Checking in to see how all of you readers are enjoying president Donald Trump’s fulfilled promises of lower gas and food prices, lower inflation, a skyrocketing stock market, millions of new jobs, no new wars with no lives of our troops on the line (thousands of our soldiers are already
March 22, 2026Dear editor; At this writing the U.S. is still at war with Iran, the legality, legitimacy, rationale, and strategic objectives of which are questionable and had never been discussed with the American people prior to its beginning. Though spectacular tactical results have been achieved by American and Israeli

According to Donald Trump, the man who would be king, the war with Iran is technically over and we won. So he’s sending over 2,500 Marines, maybe 5,000, to just get into formation and break the Guinness World Record for most humans in line doing the Bunny Hop. At any
By John & Nisha Whitehead Dysfunction, decadence, depravity and a death cult: that, in a nutshell, sums up the mindset now at the heart of the Donald Trump administration. Troubling reports have surfaced that apocalyptic Christian rhetoric is being used to justify the Trump administration’s attacks on Iran as part
Musings (special edition!): •The Sins of Donald J. Trump (chapter 17).

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda When someone says “I will kill you”…believe them. Only fools ignore threats against their lives. For 50 years Iran’s mullahs (an honorific title for a Muslim cleric, imam, or scholar) and ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei have threatened us saying “death to America” and “death to Israel.”
By John & Nisha Whitehead “‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.”—Jeremiah 6:13–14 The military-industrial complex and the American police state have joined forces. War abroad and war at home are no longer separate enterprises. They have fused. This did not happen overnight. Every modern president has stretched
March 3, 2026Dear editor; I would remind my fellow Americans of the devastating hurt caused by the terrorists who attacked us September 11, 2001.

Did many of you dear readers have the opportunity to enjoy the rambling, fact-less, two-hour long drivel-fest polluting our airwaves, purported to be a State of the Union Address by our chief executive February 24? It was interesting the way he pulled fantasy numbers and facts right out of the
By John & Nisha Whitehead In his State of the Union address, president Donald Trump declared that America is entering a “Golden Age.” Golden for whom? For a president who lives lavishly in a taxpayer-funded mansion, jets around to weekend golf getaways at taxpayer expense, and dismisses concerns about “affordability”
February 23, 2026Dear editor; All ICE is trying to do is fix a problem caused by left-wingers and Democrats. The problem: The invasion of our country by illegal immigrants, many of whom are heinous criminals. Some might consider allowing that invasion to be almost traitorous. You would think the anti-ICE
