Prepare, prepare the iron helm of war,
Bring forth the lots, cast in the spacious orb;
Th’ Angel of Fate turns them with mighty hands,
And casts them out upon the darken’d earth!
Prepare, prepare!

King of Kings—The Iranian Revolution: A Story of Hubris, Delusion and Catastrophic Miscalculation
New York: Doubleday, 2025
The Iran Hostage Crisis in which Iranian students imprisoned the Americans on the staff of the US Embassy for 444 days after its start date of November 4, 1979 was part of the Iranian Revolution—a political convulsion which overthrew Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Iran’s leader within the Iranian monarchical political order. Pahlavi was the king of Iran and in Iran’s vernacular Persian language “king” is rendered as “shah,” therefore Pahlavi was referred to as “the Shah.” His other titles were King of Kings, Light of the Aryans, and Shadow of God.

An Unholy Alliance: How Progressivism Brought About an Islamist Invasion
Nashville, TN: Ascaine Press, 2026
On May 21, 2025, a gunman murdered Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in Washington D.C. Milgrim was not killed in the immediate flurry of gunfire; she was wounded and then killed by being shot execution-style as she tried to crawl away. The pair were in a serious courtship and Lischinsky, a practicing Christian, had an engagement ring in his pocket. The couple worked at the embassy of modern Israel. Their alleged killer was not a Muslim or a Palestinian, instead he was a well-known US-born progressive protestor who often walked the streets raging against corporations and the police. (more…)

America lost the Iran War on the first day.
Pyrrhus of Epirus was one of the greatest generals of the ancient world. In 279 BCE, Pyrrhus defeated the Romans in the Battle of Asculum in Southern Italy. But the battle was so costly to Pyrrhus that he remarked that one more such “victory” would ruin him. This is the origin of the term “Pyrrhic victory,” meaning a victory that is really a defeat.
The lesson here is that the real victor is not the one who prevails on the battlefield but rather whoever gains power from the fight. By that standard, some battles have no victors. By that standard, the United States lost the Iran War on the first day. (more…)

Iran today is widely recognized as one of the most important scientific centers in the Middle East. In fields such as advanced materials and medicine it has developed a significant research base. The country ranks sixth in the world in nanotechnology output and its biopharmaceutical sector stands among the most advanced in Asia, currently placed fifth on the continent. These achievements are not simply the result of natural resources or temporary policy decisions. (more…)

As an American, I would like to think well of my country. But thanks to Donald Trump, we are now wondering if 175 Iranian schoolgirls were slaughtered by Jews as a Purim blood sacrifice to Yahweh — or slaughtered by an Affirmative Action-American as a sacrifice to Moloch or maybe Caliban. As an American taxpayer, I would like my government not to make me culpable in war crimes. But America is not ruled by and for Americans.

The ongoing buildup in the Middle East is unlikely to be symbolic or a bargaining ploy for the Art of the Deal. Israel’s (and thus Trump’s) conflict with Iran is not about Iran’s nuclear program which is perpetually 1-2 weeks away from making a bomb. It’s about establishing Greater Israel before American support ends due to the Epstein files and the great Boomer die off.
A poll I conducted for the Homeland Institute shows that support for Israel isn’t just declining. That decline is accelerating. (more…)

More respondents now say that the US-Israeli relationship is a net negative than a net positive. Declining support for Israel is likely accelerating.
The number of respondents who said they support airstrikes on behalf of Israel fell from 37% in July, 2025, to 27.9%. This drop was largely driven by Republicans.
The 27.5% who support striking Iran are outnumbered by the 52.2% who oppose it.
A US strike on Iran could cost Republicans 4.7% of the white vote in the midterms, including 13.8% of white voters age 18-29.
48.3% of respondents said they can think of a concrete example of Israel hurting America interests, up from 41.9% in 2025 and 29.3% in 2024. Only 29.3% claim they can think of an example of Israel aiding American interests.

In 2016, 2020, and 2024, I was one of tens of millions of Americans who voted for Donald Trump to put America First and Make America Great Again. But Trump really isn’t working for America. We have eloquent proof of that just this week with Trump’s simultaneous retreat from Minneapolis and advance on Iran.
No matter how you conceive of the United States—as a white man’s country, or as a multiracial society held together by “values” and “dreams”—having borders is pro-American. (more…)

Screencap this: within two to ten years, Israel will ditch the US and realign itself with China. This sounds unlikely based on the past, but the past is already gone. My prediction is based on applying the main principle from George Friedman’s The Next Hundred Years (which I reviewed here): world leaders may appear all powerful to the masses they rule, but in reality their options are highly constrained.
