In 1939 the Harding reputation reached its lowest point with the publication of Samuel Hopkins Adams, The Incredible Era-The Life and Times of Warren G. Harding (Boston: Houghton Millin Company, 1939). Adams wrote (p. 190): We, the sovereign people, had chosen for leader by an unprecedented majority, at a time of decisions vital to ourselves and hardly less so to the outer world, an amiable, well-meaning third-rate Mr. Babbitt, with the equipment of a small-town, semi-educated journalist, the standards of a hand-shaking joiner and all-around good guy, the instincts and habits of a corner sport, and the traditions of a party hack; an expert on partisan mechanics, a sophomore in legislation, a tyro in economics and government, an ignoramus in world movements and trends. It could not work. It did not work.

and this is vastly preferable to the current occupant

wait, Pete Hegseth shut down El Paso's airspace for ten days over four party balloons?

As Trump presidency enters second year, his voters share hopes – and concerns Trump voters urge him to tone down the rhetoric and focus more on domestic issues, especially clearer pathways to legal status for law-abiding immigrants, healthcare reform, curbing waste and fraud, a...

one thing that will always be a mystery to me is the number of trump voters who basically thought they were electing george bush again reut.rs/3Mc4h4H

Trump’s ‘Stop the Steal’ lawyer probing 2020 election fraud has access to sensitive US intel Top U.S. intelligence agencies are cooperating with Kurt Olsen, who worked with Trump to undermine the results of the 2020 election.

This is not good. Trump ordering CIA and other agencies to share anything and everything -- SCI at a minimum -- with a private attorney 'investigating' 2020, a guy with about as much credibility and professionalism as Sydney Powell. Great.

Scoop w/ @nataliekorach.bsky.social: Washington Post leadership spiked a story that had been prepared by the newspaper's media desk, covering the historic layoffs at the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper. Details in @status.news: link.status.news/4ai6W4C

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

This was the craziest argument I heard constantly in 2024 btw, that somehow Biden withholding military assistance in line with very specific provisions of US law would be comparable to Trump holding Ukraine over the barrel because he was obsessed with Hunter Biden.

It ultimately doesn’t really matter who exactly pulled the trigger

Both Tripoli and Benghazi had reasons so see Saif gone.

His death is a statement from Libya’s competing governments, there is no third option. It will either be the Haftars, the Dbeibahs or both, whether Libyans like it or not.

Ghaddafi’s eldest son Saif al-Islam has reportedly been killed in Zintan

It’s been widely spread around on Libyan social media, but not fully confirmed

Despite his role suppressing the 2011 revolution, his popularity had grown over the years as he had been out of all of Libya’s corrupt governments

Other than in Misrata, which likely suffered the worst during the 2011 revolution, Libya seems generally saddened by Saif al-Islam’s assasination

it really shows how badly Libya’s successive governments in east and west have led the country that one of Libya’s most hated men 10 years ago is mourned

Kenyan job seekers were lured to Russia, then sent to die in Ukraine The Post spoke to four Kenyans who fought in Ukraine and relatives of nine other recruits, as a secret pipeline funnels young Africans to Russia’s military.

Serving members of Kenya's security forces have been lured to fight for the Russian army in Ukraine, survivors and families say. They include a member of the elite U.S.-trained SPEAR unit, which guards the U.S. embassy in Nairobi. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Exclusive: US spy chief's office investigated voting machines in Puerto Rico A team working for President Donald Trump's spy chief, Tulsi Gabbard, last spring led an investigation into Puerto Rico's voting machines, said Gabbard's office and three sources familiar with the pre...

The latest on Gabbard as fringe conspiracy drives her voting investigation: “The sources said the goal was to work with the FBI to investigate claims that Venezuela had hacked voting machines in Puerto Rico.”

Bro they're actually gonna get Maduro to say he helped rig the 2020 election in exchange for dropping the charges aren't they?

exactly. this is not difficult.

Of course he said that to Richard Allen, a man who had no presence, got nothing done, and showed up in Die Hard 3 as a police chief for some reason

why am I not surprised heh

Can’t wait till the House releases some really bad majority report that’s 25-40 pages long saying Hillary was behind everything with Epstein, then the minority will release a 5-10 page rebuttal report for some reason which consists of just a series of bullet points.

The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody

Should be instructive that Somaliland denied the claim that Israel was seeking to establish a military base and to deport Palestinians en masse to the territory only for reports to continuously corroborate that this is what Israel wants

on the whole, i think 'all the evil in the world is reducible to a few wealthy criminal Jews' is generally a thing we should be discouraging. i have nakedly self-interested reasons to believe this i will admit.
