Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Lord North looses the 13 colonies Mountbatten presides over 1 million deaths on the partition of India Eden humiliates Britain and reveals the true depths of our post-imperial fantasy at Suez. Nothing, nothing compared to making it easier to export to our largest market and use e-passport gates!

What a mess. The Supreme Court ruling has not brought clarity at all. It appears to have just created problems where there previously were none.
