Again, I can’t think of anything more useless to honest debate or worthwhile insight than partisan political strategists being interviewed on news programs.

Truly, though, it is absolutely offensive that Bari Weiss was going to give the Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture.
Who thought that was something any educational institution should do? Who thought BARI WEISS could ever properly memorialize Daniel Pearl.

At least now everyone knows the price of a presidential pardon?
Trump pardoned a billionaire who had pledged to illegally route foreign money into U.S. elections as part of a scheme to bribe Puerto Rico’s governor — after the billionaire's daughter gave $3.5M to Trump's super PAC.
But the facts point to another legal violation. campaignlegal.org/update/seeki...

I don't think "invading a country, kidnapping its President, then stealing its oil" is what I would call "diplomacy."
But perhaps I'm not a political science expert like some folks.

Chris Wright on seized Venezuelan oil: "We've sold about $1 billion of oil so far. We've recently signed agreements to sell about another $5 billion in the next several months. So you're talking well north of $10 billion a year ... this is way out of the box, groundbreaking Trump diplomacy."

Exhausted and dehydrated, I slowly walk the last few steps. “This has to be it,” I think to myself. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and turn the handle, whispering a little prayer as I step through. I open my eyes and the last trickle of hope leaks away. I am still in IKEA.

OFFICIAL: The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will host an #F1 race in 2028, 2030, and 2032 after a contract extension. In the intervening years (2027, 2029, and 2031) the race in Spain will alternate with the Spa-Francorchamps.
