The Washington Nationals have become so irrelevant in this town. It’s sad to see the disintegration of a franchise that won a World Series title just six years ago. I don’t think it can get much worse.

There’s a reason why we speak of the “fog of war,” and why historians find it’s often wise to wait till after an event to gather evidence. Can be done, but very difficult during an armed conflict. Unfortunately it’s also important to know in real time. War is hell.

To those who dismiss everything coming out of Gaza as Hamas propaganda—you’re more than welcome to send international press to cover it on the ground and provide truly independent reporting. But you can’t. Do you know why?.

A Google AI experiment. Start with: Did Kant call Jews “Palestinians”? Answer: “no.”.Search directly for Kant calling Jews “Palestinians among us.” Google finds it. Retry original Al question. Now answers “yes.”.

Wasn’t “the equivalent of war” the justification for much of the New Deal?.

Periodic reminder that, Article I problems aside, the tariff power that Trump is using here is supposed to be reserved for emergencies.

Sides of History is a half assed way of asserting right and wrong while pretending not to be a moral absolutist.

Correct. “The right side of history” is just a way of justifying not engaging with the other side (and even with one’s own doubts). After all, the debate has been settled by the objective entity known as “history.”.

Deeply grateful that @EricHolder has abandoned the unilateral disarmament that was the Blue state bans on gerrymandering. We need to repeal every initiative we can.

There should be no two state solution until Jews gain equal access to the Temple Mount. The Mosques there are now a very longstanding tradition, but they also remain signs of imperialism and conquest.
