Is this news? Of course it is an act of war, but so is bombing the country and killing its head of state. Repeating unilluminating quotes is lazy journalism.

What is the source for this? A screenshot with the same words as your post is not authoritative.

People who can’t be bothered to vote deserve the crappy government they will inevitably get.

Or should you. And in fact we can all criticize any country, and be judged based on the merits of those criticisms.

Trump is on TV now talking about perhaps resuming the bombing of Iran.

Almost two months since he started the war.

And the position of GOP members of Congress is that the people's representatives in Congress should have no say on this. They really do think Trump should have the power of a king.

It would require at least four consecutive presidents who are not crazy or extremist. The likes of George W. Bush would not count.

John Kennedy is making perfect sense.

I'm pretty sure that's one of the signs of the apocalypse.

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.

Climate Change Concern Near Its High Point in U.S. The 44% of U.S. adults who currently worry "a great deal" about climate change or global warming is near its 46% high point from 2020.

US elites decided, like a school of fish, that climate concern is old, boring, "woke," square, not hip & popular any more. As usual, it was based almost entirely on internal elite dynamics. It had nothing to do with the actual public, which is more concerned than ever.

I had a boss who would rush to the gate routinely, often arriving literally as the crew were closing the door. He was insane.

It is a very thin argument: they are bringing in goods from region x (using a purported "loophole" no less!) and we have reason to think that there is forced labour in region x. Ergo the goods must be produced with forced labour.

The crucial thing to understand about Peter Thiel is that he adores "The Lord of the Rings" and no one in human history has ever so utterly completely missed all the salient points of what a book is about.

Oh dear scary "Chinese e-commerce giants"! De minimis is a perfectly appropriate response to the need for individuals to import small quantities of goods for personal use without the inconvenience of having to make payments of small amounts of duty.

Is the United States Worth Saving? Every generation has faced a moment when quitting seemed reasonable — and every generation refused. We have no right to be the first.

We are not being asked to sit in a trench. We are not being asked to sign a document that will get us hanged. We are being asked to stay engaged. That's it. After 250 years of Americans dying for this idea, that's all we owe. I wrote about it here.
