La crise aux États-Unis: comment la politique de Trump frappe le Moyen-Orient ?
Viktor Mikhin,
Les bouleversements économiques et politiques aux États-Unis se répercutent de plus en plus sur leurs alliés traditionnels - les pays du Golfe Persique.
Donald Trump, incapable de tenir ses principales promesses électorales, perd le soutien à l'intérieur du pays, tandis que sa politique étrangère imprévisible pousse les monarchies du Moyen-Orient à chercher de nouveaux partenaires.
Habemus Papam Bob: Chicago's left field Pope Leo Xiv
Declan Hayes
Pope Bob is currently enjoying an American honeymoon as the Yankee media surf along on the goodwill tide his election brought to their shores.
Pope Bob's elevation from Chicago's seemy south side to Rome's See of Peter is certainly one for the books, and for the American TV crews, who have been scrambling all over the Windy City to write their glowing reports of Pope Leo XIV, to give Bob his official moniker.

Reflections on the Vietnam War
By Laurence M. Vance
May 13, 2025
On April 30, 1975, the city of Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese communists. A big military parade in front of hundreds of thousands of flag-waving Vietnamese was held last month in what is now called Ho Chi Minh City to mark the fall of Saigon 50 years ago. Many conservatives have been reflecting on this event. I don't agree with what some of them are saying because they are apologists for the immoral, unnecessary, undeclared, senseless, criminal Vietnam War.
What Will Trump Find in the Middle East This Week?
By Ron Paul, MD

President Trump's return to the Middle East this week, the first since his first-term 2017 visit, will take place amidst great turmoil. It is a region that bears little resemblance to the Middle East of 2017 and it appears, at least from media reporting this past week, that the Trump Administration has some understanding of this reality.
Syria has been over-run and is now controlled by the same al-Qaeda that the US government supposedly spent 20 years fighting in the "war on terror." Violence against religious and ethnic minorities has, predictably, exploded under the "rule" of a self-proclaimed Syrian president who until very recently was on the US "most wanted" terrorist list.

One baseline truth in current American life is that our bodily well-being gets worse as the so-called health care industry gets ever-larger - it is now 17.6-percent of the economy (GDP). This is clearly the basis of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign that attached itself to the Trump 2.0 program. You hear almost no arguments against MAHA itself, even from the Party of Hustles and Hoaxes, but plenty of calumny and objurgation against MAHA's chief advocate, Robert Kennedy, Jr.
The Trump Administration's Biggest Wins and Biggest Fails So Far

Back in 2016 I predicted a resounding win for Donald Trump in his election campaign against Hillary Clinton despite a chorus of voices telling me I was crazy. The argument from skeptics was that the establishment would never allow Trump into office. My position on the event was relatively straightforward - The conservative populist movement was far too strong to deny and the globalists might not see a Trump White House as a total loss if they could control it from behind the scenes, or sabotage it with a national crisis.

Democrat politicians led a break-in at a New Jersey ICE facility. In Worcester, Massachusetts, Democrat city council member Etel Haxhiaj led an assault on local police and federal officers in an effort to prevent apprehension by ICE of a violent immigrant-invader that the Biden scum permitted to illegally enter America in August, 2022. Local police demand action agains Etel Haxhiaj for assaulting police officers, but of course the Democrats support Etel Haxhiaj's violence against the police, and nothing will happen to her unless the feds step in.

In late April 2025, Europe experienced a catastrophic power grid failure that left millions without electricity, disrupted critical services, and exposed deep vulnerabilities in one of the world's most advanced energy systems.
The blackout, which primarily affected Spain, Portugal, and parts of France, Germany, and Italy, was a stark reminder of our dependence on reliable power and the fragility of modern grids.
