  • Trump at the UN and the “P1”

    “The U.S. is in clear breach of an earlier SC resolution endorsing and implementing the Iran nuclear deal. Will other SC members remain silent…? Russia and China are likely to point out this discrepancy. Iran will be in the room and likely to speak.”

  • Suing Over Israeli Nuclear Coverup That’s Allowed $222 Billion in Funding

    “The New Yorker in June reported Presidents Bill Clinton, George W.

  • Will a Member of Congress Move to Impeach Kavanaugh?
