I’m deducting half a point for correct use of the subjunctive mood but it’s still great.

Trump Surprised To Find He's At War in Iran Once his not-even-half-baked plan failed to materialize in Iran, it’s clear that there’s no Plan B.

Doomsday Scenario is always worth reading but this morning’s is particularly stark: what are we doing here and why is it being covered like any other foreign policy “adventure” of the last century?

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.

Noem’s major miscalculation here was thinking “I can get in on the sweet grift and it’ll never be used against me because everyone’s doing it.” A misunderstanding of Trump Rules but not dumb.

Lastly, they are for the soul of your nation and your cause. Limits on war preserve humanity. Mercy transcends violence. After the fighting, there has to be something more. Rules of engagement and the laws of armed conflict protect you; abandoning them is dire.
