Dear editor, Kanye West announced on Twitter he's running for President. As of now, West has never registered with Federal Election Commission and he has missed the deadline to file in several states. Why can't we get even one sane, competent, and intelligent person to run? Kanye is an adamant supporter of Trump who is obviously attempting to pull black votes away from Biden to his buddy Trump. Please do not fall for this because this is a political ploy. It would be hilarious if Kanye were to pick Rosie O'Donnell as his Vice Presidential candidate. Maybe that way he could chip away women voters from Biden. I have a better chance to get hit by lightning than Kanye West becoming president. As my 16-year-old son Chafique told me, "A vote for Kanye is a vote for Trump." Mahmoud E...

THE SAKER • U.S. President Barack Obama and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden head toward the Capitol Platform during the 58th Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C., Jan. 20, 2017. More than 5,000 military members from across all branches of the armed forces of the United States, including reserve and National Guard components, provided ceremonial support and Defense Support of Civil Authorities during the inaugural period. (DoD photo by U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Marianique Santos) Just by asking the question of whether the next Presidential election matters, I am obviously suggesting that it might not. To explain my reasons for this opinion, I need to reset the upcoming election in the context of the previous one. So let’s begin here. The 2016 election of Donald Trump The ...

RON UNZ •  John McCain, 2009 Official Senate Portrait The death of Sen. John McCain last August revealed some important truths about the nature of our establishment media. McCain’s family had released word of his incurable brain cancer many months earlier and his passing at age 84 was long expected, so media outlets great and small had possessed all the time necessary for producing and polishing the packages they eventually published, and that was readily apparent from the voluminous nature of the tributes that they ran. The New York Times, still our national newspaper of record, allocated more than three full pages of its printed edition to the primary obituary, and this was supplemented by a considerable number of other articles and sidebars. I cannot recall any politic...

GILAD ATZMON  That we are proceeding rapidly into an authoritarian reality is hardly a news item: it is impossible not to identify the institutions at the centre of this unfortunate transition. Every day one Jewish organization or another brags about its success in defeating our most precious Western values: political freedom and intellectual tolerance. At the moment it seems as if silencing authentic Black voices is the Zionists’ prime objective. This morning we learned that Black Voices do not matter at all: in a total capitulation to the French Zionist Lobby group CRIF, the great Black French comedian Dieudonné’s YouTube channel was deleted by Google. CRIF tweeted: “A month ago, the CRIF filed a complaint against Dieudonné after the broadcasting of anti-Semitic videos. Ye...

by: EVE OTTENBERG Photograph Source: Paul Sableman – CC BY 2.0 In late May, before the surge of Covid-19 cases in 22 states, Trump threatened to withhold aid to Michigan and Nevada over their plans to permit voting by mail. Such withholding is illegal. Trump alleged that vote by mail leads to voter fraud. This is hogwash. Trump’s fabrication about voter fraud is an attempt to distract from what he and some Republicans are up to, namely, voter suppression. But even Trump had to back down from his threat. This voter suppression continues with no shame, despite people preferring absentee voting amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The issue is simple: people should not have to choose between voting and catching a potentially lethal disease. Some in the GOP get this. Trump does not. Or h...
