My headline is a spin on that immortal Stanley Kubrick film “Dr. Strangelove,” in which nuclear holocaust reins over humanity to the subtitle of “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” By way of context, as I write this Israel is bombing sites all over Iran, including its nuclear facilities.

On Wednesday, President Trump signaled that military action may be forthcoming to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear arsenal. He ordered the withdrawal of U.S. personnel from the Middle East. Reports from various news sources indicated that there would be a partial withdrawal of embassy staff in Iraq, along with the withdrawal of military dependents throughout the Middle East. CONTROL […]
I watch ESPN from time to time, but mainly just when scrolling through various TV channels hoping to find something that catches my interest. Stephen A. Smith, ESPN sportscaster, usually has a way of capturing my attention depending on the subject at hand. I mean this man brings it when he speaks. I particularly like the fact that he hates […]
I was born in Los Angeles as a Baby Boomer in the area now known as South Los Angeles, which in my high school days (and later) was simply known as Watts. As some of you may recall, the summer of 1965 saw what became known as the Watts Riots. My friends and I were actually stupid enough to drive […]
If you recall back in the aftermath of Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential sweepstakes, two individual supporters were in the mix to run the envisioned Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). One of course was Elon Musk, who ended up solely helming the agency, and the other was Vivek Ramaswamy. In short order, Ramaswamy announced he was exiting the DOGE […]
I follow the news but I’m not addicted. Nonetheless, I’ve detected a pattern in how President Trump describes phone calls he makes with world leaders. He invariably labels these conversations “very good.” He did so again this week after he talked with President Putin of Russia and Chairman Xi Jinping of China. Both calls he dubbed “very good,” but on […]
Karine Jean-Pierre, who served as press secretary under Presidential Surrogate Joe Biden and constantly defended his physical and mental health, has decided it’s better to cash in on what she actually witnessed. Ms. J-P is not only publishing a tell-all, but on Instagram she announced she is leaving the Democrat Party to “follow my own compass.” Her book, due out […]
I am old enough to remember the premiere of the film “Network,” featuring Faye Dunaway in one of her earlier roles and starring Peter Finch as Howard Beale, the anchorman who mouthed the soon-to-be world-famous line: “I’m as mad as hell and not going to take this anymore.” The 1976 film debuted in a time of economic malaise, characterized by […]
“Operation Spider Web,” a coordinated drone attack by Ukraine on five Russian airfields launched from shipping containers atop truckbeds, damaged 40-plus long-range strategic bombers, destroying “at least” 13 of them, according to Ukraine Security Services (SBU). The attack by 117 drones on Sunday, June 1, was “one year, six months and nine days” in the making, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky […]
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), tasked with monitoring Iran’s nuclear program but receiving scant cooperation from that nuclear bomb-hungry nation, has sounded the alarm that Iran and its nuclear enrichment program are only weeks away from achieving weapons-level nuclear material. The IAEA found that “three [virtually inaccessible] locations, and other possible related locations, were part of an undeclared structured […]
