Biden’s false choice

In his 2014 autobiography, Robert Gates, who spent three decades at the CIA and served as secretary of defense in the Bush II and Obama administrations, wrote that Vice President Joe Biden had “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” Failure falling upward, Biden was president in 2021 when Gates added Biden’s “naive” cut-and-run retreat from Afghanistan to misjudgments such as opposing “every one of Ronald Reagan’s military programs to contest the Soviet Union,” not forgetting the 1990 Gulf War, the 2007 “surge” in Iraq, and the 2009 surge in Afghanistan.

The story of the real places from the fictional works of Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens had a knack for creating fictional characters, dozens and dozens of them in every book, so vivid and so individualized in personality, with wonderfully distinctive names, that it was hard for much of his huge readership to believe that these larger-than-life heroes, villains, and satiric figures to be loved, hated, or laughed at hadn't actually existed. They were household names in Dickens's day (1812-1870), and many remain so in our own: Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Sam Weller, Little Nell, Mr. Bumble, Miss Havisham, Mrs. Jellyby, Madame Defarge, Uriah Heep, Gradgrind, Fagin. The chief setting of most of the novels was London, where Dickens lived much of his life. He spent hours strolling the streets of the city looking at possible locations for his fiction, so it was to be expected that his readers would engage in elaborate detective work to do so as well.
