Donahue is the latest in a long line of generals and admirals Trump has removed, without explanation and without any evidence of misconduct. Some were political targets, and the list is heavily weightedtoward women and minorities. Hegseth must go. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/o...

While Vance’s morals are certainly malleable, he does appear to have a few very scary core beliefs that happen to align with the totalitarian Project 2025. He is one of them--and a committed soldier in their unamerican Holy War. open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...

It turns out creating Israel was the right decision—as some European habits are hard to break. Mobs in Belfast, Ireland, wearing balaclavas, stormed immigrant neighborhoods. The victims this time were Sudanese instead of Jews. Why? Only because we weren’t there. open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...
