How do you think Canada feels?

Will he drop out of the race? Or insist on his innocence and campaign on?

Lying from the White House Podium is now a family tradition.

FT: Talks between the United States and Iran in Pakistan have reached a stalemate over control of the Strait of Hormuz, two sources briefed on the negotiations say, with Iran insisting it retain authority over the waterway and rejecting joint control proposals HERE YOU GO. That’s the reality.

AP: The U.S. military said two destroyers transited the Iran-gripped Strait of Hormuz ahead of mine-clearing work, a first since the war began. Iran’s state media, however, earlier said Iran forced a U.S. military ship that was attempting to cross the strait to turn around.

Is the US plan for talks in Pakistan to give Iran concessions to open Hormuz, yell at media that reports it accurately, and insist that ending up in a weaker strategic position is somehow a success since US forces killed some people and destroyed some stuff? Because it looks like that’s the plan.

What could go wrong with these Three Stooges?

Now I can’t stop thinking about this.

Welcome back. Should have stayed up there. Just saying.

"I’m not a naturalist. I wouldn’t stand in the woods all day with my binoculars. I wish I were, actually. I need to be doing something in nature that’s compatible with being an observer and a listener and all those things. For me, fishing does that." - Thomas McGuane

Her level of anger and helplessness while still sounding more intelligent than most of us is inspiring.
