President Trump threatened a U.S. military attack against Oman Wednesday, warning against the possibility of the Middle Eastern country controlling the Strait of Hormuz jointly with Iran through tolls.
The times, they are a-changing. The balance of power in the perhaps eternal battle between the experts and the masses has been shifting starkly, even wildly, with the former losing and the latter gaining clout. That’s been most visible in the series of announcements and selfies emanating from the gaudy precincts of Mar-a-Lago. The experts […]

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said deciding to support the Laken Riley Act came down to basic common sense. The Republican House, which has the slimmest of majorities, passed the legislation as its first bill of the new Congress. The Laken Riley Act is an immigration policy measure named for the 22-year-old Georgia nursing school student […]
There were signs President Joe Biden wasn’t calling the shots. After all, he campaigned on being a centrist, a pragmatic alternative to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — just “lunchbox Joe” from Scranton who had worked in the coal mine and driven an 18-wheeler. And yet, from the outset and throughout his term, his administration lurched further […]
It is a fair bet to guess that many people taking drugs such as Ozempic are just tired of being fat. The hitch with Ozempic, however, is that is precisely its common purpose. Specifically, the drug treats blood sugar in Type 2 diabetics. However, take a look at any public discussion around it, and the […]
Just a few years ago, I was working as a software engineer at Facebook on its now-infamous “fact-checking” team. At the time and in the years since, I have pointed out the obvious: While the idea of fact-checking is a good one, since more information is always better than less information, social media platforms handing […]
Donald Trump is not yet the sitting president of the United States, but people across the planet would hardly realize that based solely on international news. Since winning a second term in the White House, Trump has hosted world leaders from Italy to Argentina, as well as billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, as global […]
Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to boot liberal partisan fact-checkers from his platforms is a welcome one, and it should be the end of any notion that the “fact-checkers” are anything but politically motivated censors. Zuckerberg announced on Facebook that Meta would be shifting to a fact-checking system like X’s community notes, which allows users […]
From the Pacific Palisades to Pasadena, the beachside Eden on Earth of Los Angeles County is burning to the ground. In less than one day, more than 80,000 Californians have been evacuated, multiple injured, and at least two dead. With more than 4,000 acres of some of the nation’s most valuable property up in flames, […]
On March 4, 1801, John Adams rose before dawn. It was his last day as president, and he was leaving Washington in defeat. Adams had no intention of staying for the inauguration of Thomas Jefferson, his political rival whom he’d narrowly defeated four years earlier. He missed his wife, Abigail, who had already departed for […]
President-elect Donald Trump has made no secret of his ambition to negotiate big diplomatic agreements. He wants to forge peace between Ukraine and Russia, and he wants to finalize a historic peace agreement both between Saudi Arabia and Israel and between Israel and the Palestinians. The last seems an unlikely mix, to put it mildly. Trump even seems to want […]
