Any critical mention in Washington serves Kremlin propaganda about America’s hostile intent. The regimes in Iran or North Korea are no different in their dependence on U.S. censure – the harsher, the better.

The Newsfeed
Stuff happens. Some people call it news. Others see it as entertainment. And many think they’re better off not knowing about it in the first place.
I’m a journalist not for the sake of the news but because of my interest in history. I can’t go back in time, but I can try to be there when history
happens today. The Newsfeed is my first take on anything and everything.
Right to Life
When I was a boy, I was taught that every right is accompanied by responsibilities. None of the rights in the U.S. Constitution exist in a vacuum. Thankfully, there are limits to owning grenades, cannons and tanks.
It’s high time to expand the list. Freedom is not a license for anarchy.
Noble Europe
It takes a curmudgeon to deride the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the EU.
European history is a chronicle of wars motivated by territorial conquest, religious fanaticism and ethnic hatred.
Europe’s peace should be honored, cherished, emulated.
Cloaks and Daggers
In America, the CIA chief quits because of a sex scandal, though nobody believes that’s why he really had to go. In Russia, the defense minister resigns because of a corruption scandal, but everybody thinks an extramarital affair was the true reason.
Double standards or standard duplicity?
A President for the World
Obama would have won a landslide if the whole world could have voted. Yet his global popularity isn’t entirely of his own making. Most people in most places already admire America for its openness, diversity and opportunity. Obama just embodies these qualities like no U.S. leader before him.
He’s the first president of the world.
