Orange Fuhrer says to Zalenskyy: "You don't have the cards." But he does. He has the European Union full house. He has the support of real democracies around the world. He has the support of his people. He has the support of the US public. President Zalenskyy holds a damned good hand.

Republicans won't support democracy ever again. It doesn't work for them anymore. The right wing agenda loses in every poll. Only authoritarianism can save their agenda. Orange has a deep, deep well of grievance. Democracy is at the top of his list. He'll never forgive voters or the justice system.

Earth compared to all its water. Water covers most of the planet's surface about 70%. However, these oceans are shallow compared to the planet itself. And only 0.5% of the Earth's water is available fresh water. Illustration Credit: Jack Cook, Adam Nieman, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

Hitler often pitted underlings against each other This kept his underlings preoccupied with internal power struggles rather than plotting against him. Individuals and officials acted independently to interpret and fulfill Hitler's vague directives, further fueling competition for his favor.

If the Musk/Trump administration is allowed to pursue the America Alone strategy the US will need a much bigger military. When allies turn to their separate interests the US will have to defend its own interests against an unsympathetic world. No more Pax Americana. Fortress America will be costly.

Okay, then. The US/Russia circle-jerk talks have ended and they've carved up the European areas of interest. Will the UK, Germany, France, Sweden and Finland defend European autonomy or fold?

I worked as an educator in community colleges for 10 years after retirement from field archaeology. I think I know why the extreme right wants to eliminate the Department of Education. Importantly, the DOE collaborates with state agencies to establish national educational priorities and standards.

I've spent months in Israel. I've seen the prevailing conflict there. Here's what he doesn't get: ideology always trumps the love of money. Remember when Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East? thenightly.com.au/world/how-be...
