US President Donald Trump’s re-election team has ridiculed the most recent attempt to tie the commander in chief to Nazism after critics compared a campaign T-shirt graphic to a logo commonly used in the Third Reich. Responding to the allegation that the T-shirt ripped off the emblem of the Nazi Party – spread online by the president’s detractors on Wednesday – Trump’s campaign team dug up photos showing prominent Democratic figures donning similar symbols, asking whether they also had something to hide. “This is moronic. In Democrats’ America, Mount Rushmore glorifies white supremacy and the bald eagle with an American flag […]
George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to accept the integration of black players into the league, is to have his name removed from Washington Redskins “Ring of Fame” and website, the team has announced. Marshall, who died more than fifty years ago, was a noted segregationist didn’t agree to the addition of black players on the Redskins roster until he was “forced to do so” in 1962. That move came an entire decade after the rest of the teams in the NFL had moved with the times – a fact which, given the current climate in US professional sports, has […]
The Israeli government’s decision to open up the country was way too hasty, believes an expert from the state’s largest healthcare organisation, adding that mistakes could have been avoided if politicians listened to professionals instead of pursuing their own agendas. After almost three months of restrictions imposed in response to the outbreak of the coronavirus which has already claimed the lives of more than 300 people, Israel appears to have returned to normalcy. Schools and nurseries have opened their doors, trains that typically transport some 180,000 people daily have started running again, albeit with a significant decrease in passengers, and Israelis […]

Rep. Eliot Engel and President Barack Obama didn’t always see eye-to-eye on issues of foreign policy. The New York congressman, as staunch a Middle East hawk as there currently is in the Democratic Party, was the most high-profile House Democrat to oppose Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, the biggest foreign policy initiative of his presidency. Now, Engel, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, is fighting for his political life amid a primary challenge to his left from Jamaal Bowman, a former high school principal. Obama administration alumni want him to know they haven’t forgotten his vote—and that they don’t […]

VT’s overall poor relationship with the Trump presidency has moved up a notch. The report Trump is referencing went, not unnoticed, but rather totally censored in the Western press, as has so much else until VT sought out the facts and published them. Now, for the second time, Trump has made sad and silly denials, this one filled with hyperbole and grandiose behavior, typical of a spectrum sociopath.

President Donald Trump is thirsting to hold campaign rallies again. And among his campaign and White House advisers, a possible solution has been discussed that could allow for such MAGA gatherings even in the midst of a global pandemic: the mostly defunct, rural tradition of the drive-in movie theater. According to three people familiar with the preliminary discussions, Trump aides and operatives have spent weeks exploring alternatives to the standard Trump 2020 rally that could allow for social distancing while still allowing for a modest number of attendees. Much of the focus has been on sprawling outdoor venues, such as large […]
Three days after May the 4th, the Trump campaign decided to embrace the dark side. “For nearly three years we have been building a juggernaut campaign (Death Star). It is firing on all cylinders.

With a title like Trial by Media, you’d naturally expect Netflix’s true crime series—executive produced by CNN and The New Yorker’s Jeffrey Toobin, alongside George Clooney and Grant Heslov—to focus on the multifaceted ways print and TV reporting affected, for better or worse, high-profile legal cases. Like a student term paper that sporadically forgets to relate all of its evidence to its thesis statement, the streaming service’s latest doesn’t always stick to that guiding objective. And yet at its best, this six-part affair does serve as a routinely dispiriting portrait of the press’ impact on the process of determining guilt and […]
