America Out Loud - Has the Republican Party Taken Its Eye Off the Ball in Domestic Politics?

  https://www.americaoutloud.news/has-the-republican-party-taken-its-eye-off-the-ball-in-domestic-politics/ Once again, I am pleased to join Malcolm and two great guests in a discussion on the Iran war nd MOU, the domestic terrorists plot for the UFC fight at the White House, and the Democrat Socialists of America (FSA).  Go to the web link above… read on … The ink had barely dried on the Memorandum of Understanding when The Kuwait Times reported that the Strait of Hormuz is closed to all vessel traffic. The Japan Times predicted that with their headline: This U.S.-Iran MOU will likely be a ‘memorandum of misunderstanding.’ How close did the UFC White House plot of terror come to fruition? What is driving the uptick in socialist and communist candidates running for public office?  Edward Haugland, Prof. Pedro Blas González,  and  Lt. Joesph Pangaro  in a great panel discussion. Iran’s top joint military command, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, is...

Dictators, Democrats, and Iran – Is There a Difference

  Image generated from Google Gemini - Bernie Sanders, AOC, Mamdani depicted as the revolutionaries. Dictators, Democrats, and Iran – Is There a Difference Perfect is the enemy of good. I have always favored the 85% solution over the perfect solution, as perfect is never achieved, but with an 85% solution one can look to improve it if the situation allows. The fourteen point Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Trump administration and Iran is just that a memo. The objectives President Trump laid out has achieved 99% of what he set out to do – stop Iran from making a nuclear weapon and destroy their ability to do so. Yet, even before release of the text the whiners showed up in droves to condemn it, forgetting that Iran has been decimated, their nuclear dust buried, and military 85% plus destroyed. That was just the Democrats. Now, the Republican whiners are coming out of the woodwork to Monday morning quarterback something they could not even have imagined in their...

Overhauling National Security is Critical - As is a Strong DNI

Image
  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/jun/5/trump-interviewing-5-national-intelligence-post/ @SenatorTomCotton is 100% wrong on need for ODNI. @realDonaldTrump @SusieWiles  Since its founding CIA has subverted its mandate and expanded four fold. Do we need to get rid of the deep state, absolutely. But do so, one must understand the IC and how Republicans and conservatives have been outright manipulated by CIA, as their best ops are against the executive branch. The ODNI was hampered by bureaucratic fights to retain independence and the movement of a number of CIA misfits into the DNI who then proceeded to try to run CIA. This dysfunctional environment hindered the DNI as DOD and CIA tried to neuter the DNI authorities.  “The 2008 Amendments to Executive Order 12333, United States Intelligence Activities” by Stephen B. Slick discusses this in a paper worth reading. The problem today remains a national security apparatus that is not fully integrated, that was weaponiz...
