Farage has slammed the new European Commission president for her ‘fanatic’ support for a European army. But is the idea really so bad, if, as Farage fears, it supplants NATO, whose interventions have been so destabilizing? - America stumbling towards civil war one terrible tweet at a timeWith populist Donald Trump ensconced in the White House and Liberals seething with revenge, voters have been left behind in this game of thrones. Will the confrontation spill over the internet borders and into the streets?
- With ‘likes’ gone from Instagram, how will all those social media ‘influencers’ cope?Instagram has done the unthinkable and hidden the number of ‘likes’ on posts.

- Trump boasts that his ‘kept promises’ made Israel great… What about America?Donald Trump's reelection campaign is already sounding like a victory lap, but some may find his choice list of accomplishments puzzling. What does recognizing occupied Israeli land have to do with MAGA – and what about Americans?
- The Pentagon’s new nuclear doctrine is scary as hellThe Pentagon is actively contemplating the use of nuclear weapons to win wars that need not be fought in the first place. As expected, opposition to the US nuclear doctrine is almost non-existent in the mainstream media.
- Trump’s tweets, ticks or terminators – which will look most important to historians?I don’t want to get carried away, there’s enough hyperbole around already, but I think this last week could go down as one of the most pivotal weeks in human history.

- Italy seizes weapons from neo-Nazis...Western media immediately fabricates a link to RussiaWestern media continued its tradition of whitewashing far-right extremism in Ukraine this week, reporting that Italian police busted a neo-Nazi gang ‘linked’ to Russia – but this alleged link was dreamed up out of thin air.
- Dunce's cap for Russiagate coverage should go to CNN (by George Galloway)If there was a dunce’s cap awarded to the most gullible – or worse, complicit – news outfit in the whole ‘Russiagate’ affair, it would surely go to CNN.

- Europe needs to back Iran nuclear deal & stop kowtowing to USIran is right. The way to save the international nuclear accord on Iran is for all parties to honor it and to implement normal trading relations. That would also permit de-escalation of dangerous war tensions in the Gulf.

- London has fallen: May & Khan fiddle while crime destroys capitalAs Theresa May prepares to vacate Downing Street, Britain has never appeared so broken, fragmented and rudderless.
- London’s ‘media freedom’ conference smacks of irony: Critics barred, no mention of jailed AssangeIrony is the word which comes to mind at the mention of the “Global Conference for Media Freedom” co-hosted by the UK and Canadian foreign ministers. Everything about this twilight zone gathering smacked of irony.
- ‘Fascistic & white supremacist’!? WaPo humansplains Disney’s Lion KingDisney's ‘The Lion King’ is insidious fascist propaganda for kids, according to a Washington Post editorial that consigns the beloved children’s film (and its sure to be less-beloved CGI remake) to the bonfires of wokeness.
- Wants no kids & hates word ‘wife’: Miley Cyrus shows how young feminists have no idea why they marryThe singer says people find her marriage “confusing” but it is she who seems befuddled, like many millennial women who no longer want to be “just” a wife and mother, yet still yearn for the security of a matrimonial contract.
