Summer is just dawning, but America’s pastime is already in full swing — not baseball itself, but the long-standing tradition of lamenting its death at the hands of ruthless corporate modernity. This week’s inciting incident was the Boston Red Sox trading homegrown slugger and World Series champion Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, something […]
Is there a book more widely loved than Paradise Lost by an author more universally disliked than John Milton? Catholics dislike Milton for his anti-Catholicism, Anglicans dislike him for his nonconformity, monarchs dislike him for his republicanism, republicans dislike him for his religiosity, and feminists dislike him for his supposed misogyny. Samuel Johnson captured the […]
“You are welcome in Egypt!” Shouted nearly everyone to me when I was there last week. I was in the country for about 10 days, traveling around with my godson.

You see the same pattern over much of the world. In three consecutive presidential elections in the United States. In the latest polls in Britain, where the 2016 Brexit referendum was the first notable outbreak. In France‘s most recent national election and in Germany’s. In Canada’s election last month. And maybe in Poland and South […]
In 2020, Azerbaijan launched a surprise attack on the Armenian-governed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, after a devastating blockade, it completed its conquest, ethnically cleansing 120,000 Armenian residents and then dynamiting the regional parliament lest the real democracy it represented spread into Azerbaijan.

While the general 10% U.S. tariff on most other U.K. goods remains in place, the agreement aimed to reduce duties on British-made steel, aluminum, and cars. One tariff, however, was left untouched: Scotch. […]
Greta Thunberg, the 22-year-old who gained fame as the world’s favorite mentally unstable climate advocate, has joined 11 activists in a mission to break “Israel’s siege” of Gaza.

On Monday, President Donald Trump posted in his trademark capital letters: “WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!” This is the consistent message from the president from his inauguration forward. On Monday, his press secretary added some detail, but the crucial message remains the same. “President Trump has made it clear that Iran can never obtain […]
President Donald Trump has nominated senior Department of Justice official Emil Bove to a judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, an announcement that has ignited a firestorm of opposition across the political landscape — from the left about qualifications and consultation, and from the right regarding his overall fitness for […]
After 54 years, the Supreme Court corrected an immensely costly lower court error. More than half a century ago, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit stopped a nuclear power plant from being built in Maryland, setting off a wave of anti-economic activism nationwide. However, the Supreme Court has at last dealt a […]
