When Joe Biden referred to "shylocks" in 2014, the ADL admonished him. I look forward to seeing the group similarly criticize President Trump for using the term today.

While in the LOTR movies Denethor just randomly went crazy, that's not the whole story.

Denethor became a doomer. He spent all night scrolling through bad news on his magic device, because the Dark Lord only let him see bad news and not good, until he lost all hope and it broke him.

A truly stunning result for the Canadian Liberal Party.

Mark Carney (with a lot of help from Donald Trump) has secured one of the greatest comebacks in electoral history. Liberals are up seats but so are the Conservatives. NDP rout. Libs likely a minority and will have to work with others.

I know this isn't the biggest point, but note the complete absence of criticism for Bukele wearing a black sweater, instead of a shirt and tie. It seems if you are "the world's coolest dictator" and willing to become a US prison annex, turning up looking like a pimp in an off-Broadway musical is ok.

Do not put your trust in princes,
in human beings, who cannot save.
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
on that very day their plans come to nothing.
Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
