Chamber of morons.

Incredibly frustrating to pitch numerous ideas, which get summarily rejected, only to read a piece like this, which tells us absolutely nothing and is the definition of uninteresting. I don’t understand op-ed editors. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/o...

Abominable but completely unsurprising.

You mean Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S.?

“Thanks, but we’ll pass” is the bane of my existence.

London shots.

If I had a nickel for every time the Guardian ignored a pitch I sent over their op ed staff, I wouldn’t have to pitch anything else for the rest of my life.

Many Panamanians are angered by the unavoidable impression that their government and legal system are dancing to Donald Trump’s tune

None of this is a surprise. Around 70% of the firearms seized in Mexico come from the United States. Clamping down on gun smuggling along the U.S.-Mexico border would do a hell of a lot more on countering the cartels than, say, bombing them from the air.

Commentary: President Donald Trump hasn’t given us a clue about what he aims to accomplish in Cuba. “It doesn’t have to be a humanitarian crisis,” Trump said over the weekend.

In 2023, Polish police discovered a network of more than a dozen single-use agents, some of whom were recruited to put up flyers and stickers that read “Poland ≠ Ukraine” and “NATO go home.” The goal? To get people to question the state’s support for Ukraine. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/diLOUz

Trump to Iran: Give me your nuclear program, which I “obliterated” eight months ago. 🤔

Already tired of the Olympics.

Perhaps Brett McGurk can address this during his next CNN segment?

Commentary: Days after President Donald Trump dropped his tariff threat against eight European countries over their opposition to the United States acquiring Greenland, the self-proclaimed “tariff man” instituted another warning against yet another ally: Canada.

Isolationist Trump is threatening to bomb Iran for the second time in seven months.

CBC - President Trump threatens to impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian goods if Canada "makes a deal with China" — a forceful message that comes days after Prime Minister Carney delivered a speech at Davos widely viewed as pushback on US actions. www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trum...

Today is a day where I wished I had a cabin in the middle of the wilderness, cut off from WiFi.

Brrrrrrr….

I know people don’t want to hear this, but Delcy Rodriguez is running laps around Maria Corina Machado, whose desperate attempt to get Trump’s attention by giving away her Nobel looks a lot like a kid trying to get daddy’s approval. Sorry if that’s too harsh for some people.

Wannabe Shah Pahlavi Jr might be the most narcissistic human being on the planet. I have utter contempt for the man.

It seems that if you work for CSIS, you can write in pretty much any publication no matter how tired, generic and wrong the argument is.

The fact that Trump doesn’t give a damn about whether Venezuela is a democracy or not seems to escape a lot of smart people…

CDMX.

The ongoing “war” against drug traffickers in the Southern Caribbean could very well be the most secret military campaign in my life so far. It makes Nixon’s 1969-1970 air war in Cambodia look like an exercise in transparency.

Congress is really good at oversight.

More fighting along the Thai-Cambodian border. More fighting in the Eastern DRC. Daily Israeli strikes in Gaza. Maybe it’s time for Trump to stop bragging about “solving” so many wars?

Dick Cheney would be proud.

Seems totally legit.

The boat strikes are not only congressionally unauthorized, legally questionable and morally disturbing—they’re also ineffective. It’s all performative. The strikes don’t solve anything.

Syria’s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has got plenty right over the past twelve months. But cracks in his leadership are beginning to show

Just got the Oura Ring. I need to sit down and relax.

First of all, one of the reporters on that story was in the Army infantry in Iraq

The lack of progress on setting up an international police force in Palestine suggests that Donald Trump’s claims of peace are misplaced, writes Daniel DePetris.
