Trump’s Tariffs Were Illegal—and Harmful 9/2/2025

                      Trump’s Tariffs Were Illegal—and Harmful

An appellate court has ruled that most of Donald Trump’s tariffs were unlawfully imposed. This confirms what many warned: his trade wars were more about politics than policy.
Trump claimed tariffs would revive U.S. manufacturing and punish foreign competitors. Instead, they acted as a hidden tax on American families, driving up prices on basic goods. Farmers suffered the most, as retaliatory tariffs gutted exports, forcing taxpayers to fund costly bailouts.
The court’s decision also raises a deeper concern: a president who bypasses legal procedures to push his agenda undermines both our economy and our democracy.
Real economic strength cannot be built on impulsive trade wars or unlawful actions. It comes from sound policy, fair trade, and respect for the rule of law.

U.S. & EU Have Massive Blood on Their Hands 8/18/2025

                             U.S. & EU Have Massive Blood on Their Hands

Nicholas Kristof is right: American support for Israel in this war is both a moral and practical failure. Morally, the U.S. and its European allies have enabled a humanitarian catastrophe. By sending weapons and shielding Israel diplomatically, they are complicit in the mass killing, displacement, and starvation of civilians in Gaza. No invocation of Hamas’s crimes excuses policies that deliberately block food, flatten neighborhoods, and destroy hospitals.
Practically, this policy is failing on its own terms. Hamas has not been eliminated, many hostages remain unrescued, and Israel is more isolated than ever. Rather than securing peace, American and European backing has fueled radicalization, widened the conflict, and eroded the West’s global credibility.
The U.S. and EU cannot claim to defend democracy and human rights while financing collective punishment. They must end unconditional military aid, demand a cease-fire and hostage release, and ensure unimpeded humanitarian relief. Anything less leaves massive blood on their hands.

Learning From Norway: Time to Embrace Electric Vehicles 8/17/2025

                     Learning From Norway: Time to Embrace Electric Vehicles

America should take a hard look at how other countries are racing ahead in the transition to clean energy. In Norway, 76 percent of all new cars sold are electric, thanks to strong policies that discourage fossil fuel use and make electric vehicles affordable and convenient. The result is a cleaner environment, less dependence on oil, and a transportation system that actually aligns with climate goals.
Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to drag its feet. Our auto industry clings to gas-guzzlers while policymakers talk endlessly but act timidly. If we are serious about tackling climate change, we must move aggressively toward electric vehicles. That means expanding charging infrastructure, providing real incentives for consumers, and yes—allowing cheaper Chinese EVs to compete in the American market. Protectionism only slows progress while the planet burns.
The path forward is clear: break our addiction to fossil fuels and open the doors to innovation, no matter where it comes from. The stakes are too high for half measures.

Stop Enabling Israel’s massive war Crimes 8/16/2025

                        Stop Enabling Israel’s  massive war Crimes

Israeli settlers are carrying out record levels of terror in the West Bank—burning homes, seizing land, and brutalizing Palestinians—while in Gaza, deliberate starvation and relentless bombing kill children daily. Children are no threat to Israel, yet they are slaughtered with impunity.
The hypocrisy of the United States and its allies is staggering. They denounce Russia’s assault on Ukraine as barbaric, yet fund, arm, and defend Israel’s campaign of terrorism, mass murder, and hunger against Palestinians. Worse, they attempt to silence criticism of Israeli policy by smearing it as antisemitism, conflating the crimes of a government with an entire people.
All Americans and their allies in Europe must demand Israel open its borders and allow Gaza to be flooded with food and medical aid under U.N. control. The siege and brutal occupation must end. Funding and arms shipments to Israel must stop, and an arms embargo imposed. Prime Minister Netanyahu should surrender to the International Criminal Court to face charges for massive war crimes.
Western complicity in these atrocities has shredded any claim to moral authority. History will remember who stood by and who spoke out.

Truth Cannot Be Softened Before God 8/14/2025

                            Truth Cannot Be Softened Before God

The Trump administration’s decision to soften its annual human rights report, muting criticism of Israel’s brutal occupation and downplaying the abuses of El Salvador’s security forces, is more than political bias—it is moral bankruptcy. When leaders manipulate truth to protect allies, they become accomplices to the crimes they conceal.
The suffering of Palestinians under military occupation and the victims of state violence in El Salvador are not “issues to be reworded.” They are human tragedies demanding truth, accountability, and action. By whitewashing these abuses, the administration mocks the very principles of justice and human rights it claims to uphold.
No nation is above the laws of God. The killing of innocents, the oppression of the poor, and the abuse of the powerless are not just violations of international law—they are sins that cry out to Heaven. Those who commit, defend, or conceal such acts would do well to remember that there is a Day of Judgment when worldly power and political expedience will offer no shield.
God’s justice is perfect, and His memory is unfailing. Every act of cruelty, every falsehood, every betrayal of the truth will be laid bare. The fires of hell await all who trample upon human dignity and violate His commands.
You may avoid the condemnation of men for a season, but you will not escape the judgment of the Almighty.

Starvation, Slaughter, and Silencing the Truth in Gaza 8/12/2025

                     Starvation, Slaughter, and Silencing the Truth in Gaza

In just 24 hours, Israeli attacks have killed at least 89 Palestinians in Gaza, including 31 people shot or bombed while seeking food. Five more — two of them children — have died from famine and malnutrition due to Israel’s ongoing blockade, bringing the known starvation toll to at least 227. Even “safe zones” like al-Mawasi, repeatedly targeted, offer no refuge.
This latest wave of death is compounded by Israel’s targeted killing of journalists. Among the dead is Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, one of Gaza’s most prominent reporters, along with five colleagues, murdered in a strike outside Al-Shifa Hospital. The UN Secretary-General and press freedom groups have condemned these assassinations, calling for an independent investigation. Yet Palestinian journalists vow the truth will not be silenced, even if “1,000 are killed.”
While governments wring their hands, Norway has taken meaningful action — divesting its $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund from 11 Israeli companies complicit in the Gaza assault. If only other nations, especially those arming Israel, would follow.
Starvation, indiscriminate killing, and the destruction of a free press are not acts of self-defense — they are crimes against humanity. Silence, or worse, continued support for Israel’s military machine, makes accomplices of us all.
