American foreign policy has always had its contradictory elements (supporting dictators who oppose communism, for example), but never have we so blatantly turned our back on an ally so abruptly and disgracefully in order to support a belligerent and toxic regime like we did today.
NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

8) A book on the life of an 18th century midwife, a page turner? You betcha. There's even a murder mystery in it to boot.

Re-watching Lost for the first time since it aired and wondering: what kind of airline has an ax, Igloo ice coolers, and tarps on board? Did Home Depot charter Oceanic Flight 815?

This is unprecedented and problematic on so many levels, one of which is that Kash Patel is not qualified for either position.
