Do You Know God’s Plans for the World? Pat Robertson Seems To Believe He Does by Randolph Jason for Gospel News Network Since when does anyone know, definitely, what God’s plans are for the world? Pat Robertson should take his show to CNN or MSNBC where the other ill informed neocon warmongers like to congregate.

Avigdor Lieberman Is Israel’s New “Kingmaker”, And He Will Use That Leverage To Make Sure Israel Goes To War With Hamas by Michael Snyder for End of the American Dream Last November, Avigdor Lieberman resigned as Israel’s defense minister when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to reject Lieberman’s plan for a military operation in Gaza and agree to a ceasefire with Hamas instead.  At the time, Lieberman called the ceasefire a “surrender to terrorism”, and of course it didn’t last very long at all.  Hamas has continued to bombard…

‘Locked and Loaded’ for War on Iran? by Patrick J Buchanan via CNS News “Iran has launched an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply,” declared Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

President Trump and Israel: A Microcosm of His Strengths and Weaknesses

Randolph Jason

President Trump and Israel: A Microcosm of His Strengths and Weaknesses by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown I have finally managed to reduce my evaluation of President Trump to one short soundbite: What he does is often praiseworthy; what he is says is often cringeworthy.
