It’s mistaken to read the nuke deal as about the kingdom trying to get WMDs. It could always just buy them from Pakistan. Instead, it’s the kingdom frantically trying to diversify now that its trillion-dollar be-like-Dubai plan has gone up in flames Still, this is hilarious

The United States is losing this war in more ways than we previously knew

Stopping all political work seems like pretty normal activity for a libertarian party

Really nothing is more historically fitting than tomorrow’s contest in which ancient rivals England and France battle to be the number three nation

Well, it is true that the elections in Beijing are, in several regards, the type of elections that the president and his allies appear to be aiming for

Trump’s most aggressive campaigns of persecution and litigation have not been directed at left-wing or Democratic Party-linked bodies, but those most respected for neutrality and impartiality — 60 Minutes, the BBC, CNN, the NYT, Harvard, the federal reserve, the freaking Smithsonian Institution…

This is pretty amusing until you realize that the much, much larger case of insider trading is on the other side of the camera and is going unpunished White House Teleprompter Operator Bet on Trump Speeches, Kalshi Says www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/t...
