The only option left to take with those disingenuous snakes still claiming a genocide in Gaza, in the face of all available evidence, is cold, hard contempt. Let’s remind ourselves of truth and facts. The definition of genocide: “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a

I haven't read the book yet, although I will, but this review by S.C. Cornell (whom I know nothing about) is a masterpiece of sarcasm. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

Do the Iranian clerics sense their position is in danger of imminent collapse?

Well would you look at that. Heavy selling pressure on Tesla shares begin at 1:23 PM EST (first red circle). But Trump didn't announce 93% tariffs on batteries from China until 1:27 PM (second red circle). Nothing to see here folks. Move on with your day.

Unsurprisingly, the Financial Times is reporting that Japan does not agree with Lutnick's description of the deal - and that there is no written agreement for the $550 billion. Lutnick has been saying taxpayers will get 90% of the profits from these factories - Japan says profits
