Great article I just read with the title of this thread. Quoting the introduction and conclusion below: ** Wessie du Toit June 4, 2025 Few people have heard of Lee Hanley — or William Lee Hanley Jr, in full — a businessman and political donor from Greenwich, Connecticut. Yet by the time of his...

For years, we've watched the Democratic Party don its sanctimonious mask, preaching devotion to the working class and vowing to slay the dragons of power with righteous fervor, haven't we? It's an old song, and we've long since memorized the dissonance between their honeyed words and their...

Just finished watching John Oliver's piece talking about Trump and his relationship with the press, thought it was quite good. It can be seen here: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07JQr5W3970&t=913s&ab_channel=LastWeekTonight Here's the relevant description of the video: ** John Oliver...

In the spring of 2022, Ukraine and Russia were reportedly on the verge of a peace agreement in Istanbul, but Zelensky chose to walk away. Now, three years later, with the country in ruins and the West growing weary, we find ourselves back at the point where everything could have concluded...

I know there are a -few- people here who question the Covid 19 vaccines, at least for children. John Leake, the author of this article I link to below is much more than simply -skeptical- of the Covid 19 vaccines, and it looks like he understands the feelings of people like me who think they...

I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread on President Trump, seeing as how I definitely think he's a subject that's worth talking about, being the President of the United States. People here certainly found a previous thread I made on something Trump had done here to be interesting, so...

Interesting article from the Daily Beast today on Trump's interview with ABC. Quoting from the introduction and conclusion of the article: ** President Donald Trump complained that an interviewer for ABC News wasn’t “being very nice” when he refused to back up the president’s claims about a...

On April 23, Zelensky once again refused to negotiate with Russia, despite ongoing losses on the front lines. According to Trump, Ukraine is losing up to 5,000 people per week—a number that’s hard to dismiss. The continuation of the war without any attempts at diplomacy increases the pressure...

Interesting article from UnHerd I read just now. It can be seen here: https://unherd.com/2025/04/jd-vance-my-message-to-europe/ Quoting from the introduction and conclusion of the article: ** “It’s not good for Europe to be the permanent security vassal of the United States.” So says JD Vance...

Larry's article can be seen here: https://sonar21.com/when-alleged-western-military-experts-insist-that-russia-is-not-making-progress-just-show-them-this/ Quoting from the introduction and the conclusion of Larry's article: ** 13 April 2025 by Larry C. Johnson 135 Comments During his recent...

I've been following a substacker named Simplicius for a while now, as I've found his articles to be quite good. Today, he wrote one on Trump's policies, as well as what certain financial interests have to say about this, and why they're saying it. The first part of it can be seen here for free...

I've been following Ellen Brown for a while- she seems to focus exclusively on monetary policy and I've never found a flaw in her reasoning. I admit I'm pessimistic about the possibility that Trump would follow her advice, but what matters is that her advice certainly can be followed, if not by...

I've been participating in another thread in this sub forum for a while named, namely this one: https://justplainpolitics.com/threads/the-ukraine-peace-deal-is-proving-to-be-a-scam.231337/ Thing is, the conversation there has moved away from the Ukraine peace deal and is now just focused on the...

I thought a bit about where to put this thread. I imagine most here have heard of the Trump Administration's signalgate debacle regarding its bombing of Yemen. If you haven't, this is a good primer...

The article is partially paywalled, but I felt there's enough that's free to be worth posting about it. Quoting from the introduction of the article: ** The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly...

Just finished reading an article from Trish Wood with a similar name to the title of this thread on Trump's much improved relationship with Canada by way of Carney becoming the new Prime Minister, thought it was quite interesting. It can be seen here...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but after having read John Carter's article, I thought I might not be the only person who might find his thoughts interesting, if sobering. As I've said elsewhere, I'm something of a political hybrid, so I don't agree with -everything- he says...

It appears that Trump has already made deals with Zelensky and Putin. Yet, reports show that Russia and Ukraine are still attacking energy facilities. Some media sources claim that Ukraine is not honoring the agreements made in the UAE. But what do you think? Can we stop the conflict from...

Hey there, folks! I recently came across this article talking about what's going on with USAID and how the Trump administration's policy changes are shaking things up in the world of international aid. It got me concerned by a few important things. With programs for diseases like malaria and...

Just finished reading a new article on the war in Ukraine from a substacker I've come to admire on the topic, Simplicius. It can be seen here: https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/negotiations-continue-to-go-nowhere Quoting from the introduction and conclusion of the article: ** The next...
