Latest Commentary: Jack Smith Testifies in Public -- Special Prosecutor Jack Smith investigated the January 6, 2021, insurrection and the classified documents hidden in Mar-a-Lago. He indicted the president in both cases, but those cases were withdrawn by the Trump Departmentof Justice. What he discovered is that Mr. Trump is guilty of several felonies. A few weeks ago, he testified to Congress behind closed doors. Yesterday, he did so publicly. In proper Congressional hearings, there is an attempt to find the truth. That is not what happened. Republican members engaged in grandstanding for the benefit of one person, Donald Trump. Hoping to catch Mr. Smith out on some mistake, they found nothing. Mr. Smith had the goods to put the president in prison. [23 January] Board of Peace is Nonsense -- Having caved in on his demand for sovereingty over Greenland, Donald Trump spent part of today launching a completely useless entity called the "Board of Peace." It is an ephermeral body that exists allegedly to rebuild Gaza, but the fact is that the area is not even mentioned in the charter that Mr. Trump and his minions signed today shows what nonsense it is. He is even charging a billion dollar price for a permanent seat. It seems that Mr. Trump wants a rival body to the UN that he can control. One can call into question whether the world needs the UN, but what is certain is that the world does not need a second one. [22 January] NATO is Done -- For the last 75 or so years, the world has been more peaceful because of the North American Treaty Organization. It deterred aggression in Europe, and it helped bring an end to the Soviet empire without a war. In the last few weeks, or months, that alliance has been strained because the President of the United States is an egomaniac with no sense of how the world works. His demands for sovereignty over Greenland has united Europeans against the US, something unthinkable even a year ago. The alliance still exists, but the trust is gone. Whether the parties will still work together is hard to say, but the view in Europe is that America is untrustworthy and unreliable. If there is cooperation in future, there will be much less of it. [21 January] Machado Donates Nobel Medal to Trump -- The United States of America has has some lousy presidents: Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Warren Harding and George Bush the Younger. None, however, have had the massive needy ego of Donald John Trump. He is desperate for attention and praise. He has been so weak that he has create fake covers of Time Magazine Featuring himself. The whole world knows that he wants a Nobel Peace Prize, mostly because Barack Obama has one. His antics as president mean he will never get such an award. His vanity is his greatest weakness, and Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado played on this when she handed him her Nobel medal yesterday. [16 January] Trump Could End NATO With Greenland Annexation -- President Trump is in the midst of one of the biggest geopolitical blunders of all time, bigger than the US going into Iraq in 2003 and worse that Russian attacking Ukraine. For the sake of Greenland, he is prepared to destroy the NATO alliance that has kept America out of a lot of conflict over the last 75 years. Greenland is not important. NATO is. But like a casino-owner who cannot figure out how to make a profit (which is what Mr. Trump once was), he is convinced that he is getting the better deal. He says if the US does not get Greenland, Russia or China will. The man is genuinely an idiot. [15 January] © Copyright 2026 by The Kensington Review, Jeff Myhre, PhD, Editor.
