Outside the Beltway

A long exposé misses the mark.

An unusual diplomatic approach.

Reality v. unreality.

Where are we with my concerns about the Trump administration?

Say what Trump wants or he’ll threaten to sue!

…they aren’t that hard to get.

Iran came “this close” to ending the Zionist regime.

Team Trump and the DIA assessment of the Iran bombings.

The preliminary DIA assessment has been leaked.

Is that really a good idea?

For all practical purposes, the Constitutional war powers have been stood on their head.

This phase seems to be over. [Or maybe not!]

I don’t question the timing.

Maximalist claims are almost surely overstated.

What? Retaliation from Iran?

It is hard to focus.

Democrats are mostly condemning it and Republicans are divided.

No. But it won’t matter.

The war is on.

Is dropping it on Israel the most likely reason?

Thinking about possible outcomes.

Cruz on supporting Israel.

Whatever that means.

We’re officially past rhyming and into history (or at least rhetoric) repeating.

The pattern of attempted intimidation continues.

Not really posts, but hey, here they are anyway.

The loss of many key leaders in short order is a serious problem.

Trump and Netanyahu do not see eye to eye on the matter.

The war is on.

A major escalation in Middle East tensions is forecast.

The newest Executive Order.

The country’s citizens are enduring power outages while Saudis are making deals for cutting-edge technology.

A snapshot from Saudi Arabia.

A major reshuffling of the foreign policy team 100 days into the administration.

Being nice at dinner is easy.

A natural evolution in American foreign policy, albeit a concerning one.

Will the Netanyahu government double down on its weakening of Iran?

The ineptitude is staggering.

Our leaders are afraid to lead.

It’s still murky but already quite different from the Trump 45 administration’s.

An embarrasing day in US history.

The 47th President is flooding the zone.

Our premier intelligence agency will focus on the Western hemisphere.

Deadlnes make deals.

America’s 39th President, and greatest ex-President, is gone at the ripe old age of 100.

Not to mention impotence.

The fall of the Assad regime is the end of the beginning.
