The threat of China’s power—economic and military—pales in comparaison to the threat of democratic backsliding and the rise of a neo-fascistic political class in the US.

“Under our laws, under international law—and under moral law—we have no right to give anything away…That is what we are fighting for,” said Zelensky
And if I may add, that land is not Zelensky’s to give. It belong to past, present & future generations of Ukrainians. He has no right to give it away

Zelensky rules out ceding land to Russia, refusing to bow to Putin or Trump
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country would not give up territory, not to hasten peace talks, not to satisfy Washington and not under pressure from Moscow.

So, Trump slaps ungodly tariffs on agricultural (and industrial) goods, then turns around and cuts a $12 billion dollar check to subsidize farmers.
Am I getting right?
We are doing ISI, import-substitution industrialization, but in a very dumb way.

A serious question: what’s the point of having a Supreme Court as a check on the executive and/or the legislative if its main purpose is to give full control to the executive over the legislative and the judiciary to overturn decades and decades of precedents?
This SCOTUS must be urgently upended

Folks, we might be walking out of this without any executive agencies at all

My take, after a quick read, of this national security strategy: bonkers!
It reads as if they put together Trump’s tweets, & added some fillers here and there, which might very well be how they did it.
And Rubio signed on this?!
Yup, bonkers!

Sorry, France, Senegal, Norway (not Croatia)
Here are the World Cup groups.
At first glance, I don’t particularly see a group of death, though 1st matches tend to create that dynamic.
Maybe Group I with France, Senegal & Croatia… that’s a tough group.

If the legal standard for finishing them off is, "theoretically they could be rescued then at some future time they could theoretically try to run drugs on some other boat", let's just drop the pretense and acknowledge U.S. policy is that we come back to kill the shipwrecked and the wounded
Unbelievable.

Notable that the Pentagon carried out this strike on the same day that Adm. Bradley appeared before members of Congress to defend the Sep. 2 strike.

No, it wasn’t because they promised shari’a and/or an Islamic state. They won because they ran an unapologetic anticorruption campaign. Even drunks, thieves & pimps voted FIS in 1991.
