The anti-vaxxers don’t believe in ISIS, either We can bear the suffering and danger of preparation, or learn the suffering and danger of submission. We have recently in North America witnessed small outbreaks of contagious conditions &#…

I doubt that the Persian people will be liberated without more suffering. The American case for intervention seems very thin indeed. Yet the cause of civilization is the most worthy one. As I wrote 11 years ago:

Iran’s regime has plagued its own people & other lands for decades. It has earned destruction.
But will this war do it? The IRGC has 125,000 men with one job - to protect the religious leadership. After the bombing show is over, how do the Iranian people overcome on their own?

Graham is awful, but respectfully, IMO this kind of statement should not be published without references to specific sources proving the accusation.

Democrats — here's your campaign ad for 2026.

Elon Musk used his one moment of public authority to attack the US government from within, while destroying a program keeping millions of Africans alive.

Has anyone ever met a Rothschild?

Maybe sooner, Adam. Think positively.

Trump is inviting Olympic medalists to the White House. Friendly advice to them:
(1) Does Trump deserve to share the glory of what you and your teammates have accomplished?
(2) You will never be able to erase the moment. What example do you want to leave for others, including your own kids?

Newly-introduced bill would eliminate all school vaccine requirements in West Virginia West Virginia lawmakers have introduced what may be the most sweeping vaccine legislation of the ongoing debate — a bill that would completely eliminate all school vaccine requirements.

This strikes me as the most accurate thing I have ever said about U.S. politics:
"The Republican Governing Handbook ranks "appeasing the dumbest clucks alive" far ahead of "keeping the dumbest clucks alive."

I am not a Luddite, but there is one thing that AI will never be able to do: be human.

The fact that the people we deal with are human, is not irrelevant to our dealings with them. It is always integral.

The “A” is the most important letter in #AI

Canada has fallen behind the USA but Canadians should not despair. Remember: no team including Auston Mathews has ever won anything important.

Amy, Neil and John: If Trump is ashamed of you, then you did something right.

The easiest window into Trump’s true behaviour is to listen to what he accuses others of doing. Trump always projects. So when he accuses SCOTUS Justices of working for foreign enemies (treason), we know precisely what Trump himself is doing.
Not that it was much of a mystery.

Per capita GDP is a pretty meaningless number: $20 will buy you more poutine in downtown St John’s than it will in Chicago. US health insurance premiums alone suck an average of $25K from each American household annually, according to Kaiser.

New tariffs

Tariff news

Killjoy :)

I’m just happy that the president has to obey a law

Hey #SCOTUS thanks for rescuing your own reputation today.
Some people are demanding their $130 billion in tariffs back. But here in Canada, I have a more important question.

It’s a good bet that the word “Trump” appears less often in the UFO files than it does in the Epstein files.

It is important to support President Trump napping as frequently and as long, as he likes. He cannot sign anything, say anything, tweet anything or press any buttons when he is unconscious.

It's odd The Economist hasn't noticed that capitalism worked better, and society worked better, when inequality was less severe. I commend to my fellow subscribers (and fellow capitalists) the work of Picket & Wilkinson: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spi...

People often hate it when someone else is right. Unfortunately, those who are right rarely have a choice in the matter.

The Board of Fig Leaves is now in session.
Maybe the next meeting will be on Epstein’s Island!

I think you’re mistaken on that part. Starmer feels no loyalty to anyone. It’s one of his character traits. But he does follow bad advice sometimes.

Money is very nice. But there’s a limit. I know enough about Blair that he could never do this unless he has convinced himself it is necessary for the greater good. His vanity alone demands that.

That is horrible. If that is true, then Bill Gates is really stupid. Because Bill Gates could afford a doctor to do anything. Why ask Jeffrey Epstein for medical help?

So either one of the smartest guys alive is really stupid, or the story is not true. Maybe we will find out.

Blair can justify this by saying that someone decent and intelligent has to be involved in steering these funds for Gaza.
If he tries to operate on that basis, I predict he will be out of the job within 3 to 6 months.

I have a higher opinion of him than you do. So I’m disappointed.
