Waking up late vs. being on the giving and receiving end of the greatest love you’ve ever known Gosh what a hard choice
Sooner or later, everyone has to decide whether to give up lazy weekends, disposable income, and overall peace of mind to have a baby instead. For many of those on the fence, one anxiety looms large: What if I make the wrong choice? Parent regret is more common than you might

In 2024, the FBI came to my front door to tell me the Iranian regime had put a hit on my life — anytime, anywhere. This week, the man who accepted those orders, on American soil, was sentenced to life in prison in a New York court. Anyone who claims the Iranian regime isn’t a

Tehran was not just another partner for Beijing; it was central to China's grand strategy. China invested over $400 billion in long-term infrastructure and energy investments in Iran, purchased roughly 90% of Iran's oil exports, and Tehran's geographical location was key to

If you want to know why Donald Trump was elected, watch Barack Obama’s attack speech yesterday at Jesse Jackson’s funeral. As he did throughout his presidency, he created a straw man to describe Republicans as bigots who force the American people to “turn on each other”. He said

Nearly a third of the world’s population already lived within range of Iran’s missile arsenal—from Paris to Calcutta—and the range was increasing every year. They had enough uranium to make plenty of nukes to stick on the end of them, and they dreamed of Armageddon. The USA and

America went to war in Iran because Iran made itself a Chinese weapon. I explain in detail in my piece in @TheFP. America didn’t need to do this -- to invest so much political capital and military firepower -- just to shore up a second-run Israeli operation, nor is it reasonable

Why now? The ״Closing Window״ Paradox. There is a recurring dynamic in history: When the window to act against dangerous regimes is open, urgency feels low. When urgency finally arrives, the window to stop them has already closed. It always feels “too early” until it’s too

Extended clip of Rubio interview on Israel. You can see how the original comments were ripped apart and taken completely out of context, to place blame on Israel. Fact is, American acted in its own self interest and that there is no daylight with Israel. https://t.co/zHaifIMKAs

The last few years have really exposed so much of the “human rights” establishment. The Islamic Republic massacred hundreds of thousands of Syrians and these groups and the organizations supposed to defend human rights barely said a word. The regime would daily execute people

One of Trump's greatest legacies will be how he blew up a half-century of western diffidence, restraint, and failure on terrorism. As the era of Islamic terrorism began in the 1970s, western countries (very much including Israel) spun up all kinds of pseudo-sophisticated theories

A friend in Israel is my age with a young family. They are in a bomb shelter with an infant & children right now. He tells me — ‘morale is high; we’re exhausted & worse but in it to win it. And we feel fellowship profoundly with the Americans; we are part of something bigger than

Yes, they're not actually progressive. They're just anti-Western. It's a whole ideological shtick borrowed from Soviet and Maoist propaganda the last century, and it's more or less the monolithic ideology in certain significant sections of Western academia.
If you call yourself a progressive, and you’re not even a little excited by the prospect of a woman-hating, gay-hating, Jew-hating neanderthal regime that in no way represents the will of its people being crushed, you’re not actually a progressive.

I say this as gently as I know how, because it seems to me unforgivably obvious. You cannot simultaneously build a strong international law system while also hating the West. International law is a Western idea born of a particular Western historical, cultural and political
What we are seeing is the disintegration of the last remnants of the international rules-based order and the precarious dawn of a new era of might-is-right in international affairs. You might start the clock with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, or even earlier with the US war in

Starving China from their source of oil is key.
Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Panama…it’s all interconnected and it all points to China. As U.S. energy ramps up, and China is deprived of subsidized oil, subsidized shipping channels, freedom of navigation through sovereign waters and allies that can cause the U.S.

The blindness of the intellectually bankrupt American who pretends the mullahs haven’t been waging war against America and everything America stands for for nearly a half-century. This is not the beginning of the conflict. It is the beginning of the end.
A war that has no domestic or international legal basis. A war that Americans do not support. A war in response to no imminent threat. A pointless war.

And further down in the same memo she talks about how much she learned from working with Dan Rather. So I’d say she knows very well how to “aim her reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum”. That’s been the whole problem.
Veteran CBS News producer Mary Walsh takes leave (first reported by Guardian) "We've been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don't know how to do that."

Last political post for awhile I hope, but this has to be said. I’m not a Trump supporter and honestly, a lot of people who aren’t Trump supporters are still completely fed up with the far left right now. Not because of “progress,” or “fairness,” or any of the values they
