A hard call, but there’s a clear winner of the stupidity. At a press briefing on Friday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth complained about a CNN report that the Trump administration had underestimated Iran’s ability to disrupt global oil traffic by closing the Strait of Hormuz. “Patently ridiculous,” Hegseth told reporters, adding — even as the […]

We are in an unnecessary war that the public doesn’t want, without a clear purpose or endgame. How to respond now? As we reach the 12th day of the war in Iran — with death and destruction rippling throughout the Middle East — it’s important to bear in mind where the real failure of this […]

Vance or Rubio? Chances and stakes. 1. Neither Vance nor Rubio have announced their participation in the 2028 presidential elections yet. If either of them (or both) do so, it will only be after receiving the appropriate approval from Donald Trump. 2. At the moment, there are no signs that Trump intends to give such […]

Trump sincerely believes that God has entrusted him with the mission of saving America, and through it, the world. When, in July 2024, Donald Trump, speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania, turned his head to look at the teleprompter screen, a bullet fired from an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, instead of shattering his skull, merely grazed […]

Trump is actively destroying it. “We are just getting started,” Trump’s secretary of “war,” Pete Hegseth, said yesterday, adding that the attacks on Iran will escalate, with “death and destruction all day long.” So far more than 1,000 civilians have been killed in Iran, according to human rights monitors, including 180 children, most of them […]

Speaking to journalists at the White House today, where he was hosting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, US President Donald Trump announced that he had decided to start a war to prevent Iranian attacks. “We were negotiating with these lunatics, and I thought they were going to attack. They were going to attack if we hadn’t […]

Trump and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran is premised on a gossamer web of assumptions and inferences. Trump says Iran has enough nuclear material to build a bomb within days, will soon have long-range missiles capable of hitting the United States, and plans an attack. But he has offered no evidence. Most experts say he’s wrong. […]

“Bombs will fall everywhere. When we’re done, seize your government. It will be yours. This will likely be your only chance in generations,” Trump addressed the Iranian people, standing on the green lawn at Mar-a-Lago. “America stands with you with overwhelming force and destructive power. Now is the time to take your destiny into your […]

Two forces are stopping sensible regulation of AI. He’s one of them. Which is more important to you? Allowing Pete Hegseth to use artificial intelligence (AI) however he wants, OR preventing AI from doing mass surveillance of Americans and creating lethal weapons without human oversight? That’s the stark choice posed by the intensifying fight between […]

“We are going to destroy their missiles and level their missile industry,” Trump declared. US President Donald Trump confirmed in a video posted on social media that the United States has launched a “massive and ongoing” military campaign in Iran, “to prevent this very evil, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our fundamental national security […]
