COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump. There is no close second in our history. rollingstone.com/politics/po…

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was. Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500 pardons and slush fund payoffs.

How do you say Moon in your language?

Any institution that protects its members from corruption and incompetence is doomed to fail, often spectacularly. We're now paying the price for decades of immunities and protections granted to federal officials under the ridiculous presumption that real accountability would make it more difficult for them to do their jobs. I continue to think that the single-most important structural reform we can undertake is to enhance legal accountability in government.

Gee, it’s almost as if the character of a leader matters after all – as if a corrupt and preternaturally narcissistic and vindictive pathological liar is not in fact a suitable instrument through whom to advance good causes and build a lasting movement. Who could have guessed?

Typical thin-skinned, lame MAGA response. They are just as bad for America as any liberal ever was or will be. 🙄🙄👎🏻👎🏻 Run away little MAGA, runaway.

You've got to see the trailer and then the full movie of the origin story of radicalism. It started in a bloodbath of Christians in the Vendee region of France. victoryordeathmovie.com

I review the movie here: youtube.com/watch?v=anzxO8-3…

"Trump is circumventing Congress’s power of the purse. He’s circumventing the judiciary’s role in adjudicating disputes. By potentially granting settlements to people who possess no valid legal claim, he’s circumventing civil and criminal law. This is one of the most purely monarchical moments of a monarchical presidency." nytimes.com/2026/05/21/opini…

The “Israel has a right to exist” argument has always bothered me because it accepts a weak premise. Nations do not have some abstract, inherent, metaphysical “right to exist.” Not Israel, America, France, Pakistan, you name the country. States exist because they establish sovereignty, build institutions, control their territory, defend their borders, gain recognition, and survive. That is the realist and only true, logical argument. When someone says “Israel has no right to exist,” the strongest response is not to beg them to recognize Israel’s “right.” This is weak and defensive. That already puts Israel on trial in a way no other country is. The stronger response is to say simply: Israel DOES exist. It achieved sovereignty, built a state, and defended itself through repeated wars. It has borders, institutions, a military, a legal system, international recognition, and a people who are not going anywhere. There is definitely a double standard, though. People do not demand France, Pakistan, Jordan, Turkey, or Egypt justify their “right to exist.” That standard is almost always applied uniquely to Israel, and yes, a lot of the time it is rooted in antisemitism or anti-Jewish hostility. That is exactly why Israel’s defenders should stop making the weakest version of the argument. Israel does not need to defend its existence as if its sovereignty depends on the moral permission of people who hate it. Israel’s case is much stronger than that. Israel DOES exist because the Jewish people returned to political sovereignty in their historic homeland, built functioning institutions, accepted partition, declared independence, survived invasion, defended itself, absorbed refugees, developed a modern state, and maintained that sovereignty for over 75 years. Stop playing into the emotional arguments and get real.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it. Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago. IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued. The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk. The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit. Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”  Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million. The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out. This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president. Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues? nytimes.com/2026/05/19/admin…

Prior to the Six Day War (1967). - Gaza was Egyptian. - West Bank was Jordanian. - Golan Heights was Syrian. Where were the Palestinians prior 1967?

Sam Harris has triggered the hell out of Hamas supporters online by simply explaining a basic fact: The Muslim terrorists who initiated a war against Israel on October 7 are facing the consequences of that war, not a genocide. They invaded Israel shouting “Allah Akbar”, raped, murdered and burned over 1,000 Jews as Islamic acts of worship, and kidnapped hundreds more into Gaza. They filmed their own atrocities with pride. They chose holy war, aka Jihad. Israel chose to fight back and destroy the enemy that attacked it. That is not genocide. That is war. The people screaming “genocide” are the same ones who celebrated October 7 and still demand more Jewish blood. They started the slaughter and now cry victim when Israel refuses to let them finish the job. Sam Harris is doing what the media and politicians refuse to do: telling the truth without apology. Do you agree with him? Yes/No?

If you’re a Christian, and this man’s casual use of Christ’s name in the furtherance of a blatant lie doesn’t infuriate you, I urge you to consider where your loyalty truly lies.

Imagine if Congress had any self-respect. I mean just a little.

When I was Muslim, I compared Muhammad’s last words to Jesus’ last words. Not just the facts, but the spirit behind them. And bro, the difference is staggering. It shook my devout Muslim faith. According to Sahih al-Bukhari, Muhammad’s final words included: “May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians. They made the graves of their prophets into places of worship.” Those are words associated with his final moments. No forgiveness. No reconciliation. No peace. Now compare that to Jesus. Beaten, betrayed, tortured, hanging on a cross with nails through His wrists, Jesus says: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And then: “It is finished.” One dies speaking curses. The other dies extending forgiveness. One ends by drawing lines and reinforcing division. The other tears the veil and reconciles heaven and earth. And whether people like it or not, final words reveal something deeply personal about the heart. That contrast shook me. Because one man’s final moments reinforced separation, while the other’s changed eternity through mercy, sacrifice, and love. Please sit with that honestly.

The Ottomans ruled the Levant for 400 years. They were Muslim. So why didn’t they create a “Palestinian” state? Awkward question. Because the land was not an independent Palestinian nation waiting to be restored. It was another slice of imperial territory. The locals, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Arab, Turk, Druze, Bedouin, were Ottoman subjects organized by religion, tribe, and village. Not citizens of “Palestine.” Arabs lived there, of course. But there was no Palestinian state. The Ottomans had 400 years. The British had decades. No Palestinian state. Then Israel was reborn and suddenly everyone’s a TikTok historian. Criticize Israeli policy all you want. That’s fair. But claiming Jews “stole” an ancient Palestinian nation? Pure fiction. For the last 2000 years, the land was controlled by Romans, Byzantines, Rashidun Caliphate, Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids, Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mamluks, Ottomans, then the British. Nobody created a Palestinian state. Then the world finally offered the Arabs one. They declined. Chose war. And somehow the bill for that decision keeps getting mailed to the Jews. History has receipts.

This is a great question that should be answered with the utmost humility. After all, I spent years surrounded by Republicans who utterly scorned Democratic loyalty to Bill Clinton only to exceed that loyalty and devotion in their support for Trump by several orders of magnitude.

It’s blinkered, short-termist idiocy.

Jesus never fused his name and his relationship with God to an earthly nation. Caesar did that. The Caesars of our time are doing the same, but with Jesus’ name. That’s what it looks like to take Jesus’ name in vain. “My kingdom is not of this world.” -Jesus
