by Scott Horton | May 8, 2019 | Blog
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claims that Iran killed 600 Americans during Iraq War II. The syllogism goes, Iran supplied EFP bombs to Sadr's militia, the Mahdi Army, they then used those bombs on U.S. troops. Ergo "Iran," meaning the ayatollah and his government,...

The Kyle Anzalone Show: Is Trump The Best Israeli President Ever?
Trump says he wants a deal with Iran. Netanyahu hints the real goal is regime change anyway. That contradiction is where diplomacy goes to die, and it is also where Americans get dragged into a war they did not vote for. We roll solo and ask the blunt question a lot...
You don’t need the sun glasses…
It turns out wearing the glasses made no difference. In the John Carpenter film, They Live, our hero John Nada is one in many workers stumbling from hunger to poverty and piece work in an economy that is only built to exploit them. It’s a film both critical of Reagan...
The Kyle Anzalone Show with Jim Webb: Trump to Netanyahu: ‘You’re F**king Crazy’
