Trump has loved “travel bans” since his first term in office. It has nothing to do with making America safer or better and everything to do with making America whiter. People were opposed to Trump’s blanket bans all the way back in 2017, when the heads of tech companies managed to collectively grow enough spine […]
? JUST IN: President Trump says HE CALLS THE SHOTS, not Israel — FT interview “I decide. I decide everything. He doesn’t decide.” “Netanyahu will have no choice but to accept an Iran deal.

La búsqueda de EE. UU. de un acuerdo con Irán refleja las dificultades que tiene para derrotar al país que agrede, lo cual también afecta al Estado de Israel.

Yesterday, PetaPixel shared that a fully AI-generated film titled "Dreams of Violets" had been accepted into the Tribeca Film Festival. For some reason, there are people who insist this is the future of films. If that is the case, then congratulations: I hate movies.

Just a few days ago, I wrote a post about how Bill Cassidy had been primaried out of returning as a senator for Louisiana and how all of this bootlicking of the Trump administration obviously didn’t do the job he hoped it would do. As a result, he has been left as a lame duck […]
When most people think of Iran, the images that come to mind are of grand mosques, ornate Persian gardens, ancient bazaars, and a civilisation stretching back thousands of years. A Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, somewhere along the Persian Gulf coast, probably doesn’t make that list. And yet, there it is. Standing in the […]

On the surface, it might look like Trump and other politicians are concerned about the very real impact of skyrocketing gas prices on working families.

Early this week, Iranian state-linked media floated a plan to charge the operators of undersea internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz for access to what they say is Iran’s offshore territory.
