Trump Blew Up the Better Deal and Came Back Calling Defeat a Win

Trump’s Iran posture now looks like the purest form of self-inflicted failure: wreck a functioning framework, escalate into a wider crisis, then come back asking the public to celebrate a thinner, looser arrangement as if it were proof of genius. We lost. Not in the cartoon sense where somebody signs a surrender document on camera, but in the real sense that matters in politics and statecraft: the United States appears to be moving toward a deal that is visibly weaker than the one it already had, after paying the price of blowing the first one up. That is not strength....

The Coliseum on Pennsylvania Avenue

The crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to the President of the United States on the South Lawn of the White House while two men tried to knock each other unconscious inside a cage.

Sponsors including Crypto.com, Monster Energy, and Bud Light had their logos plastered to the Octagon. A Vietnam War veteran named Paul Romano, who works part-time as a rideshare driver, watched the whole thing from his car and told a federal judge...

The White House sent its principal — the man whose executive order is literally on trial — to sit in the gallery and watch his lawyers argue...

What Should We Think About The Trump Administration’s Approval and Cancellation of Iran Strike?

Image credit to maxpixel.net The New York Times reported that the Trump administration had approved of military strikes against Iran. Then, while planes were in the air and ships were in position, called off the attacks. Supposedly the attacks were to be retaliatory strikes for the shooting of a United States unmanned Global Hawk surveillance drone by Iran. The operation was underway in its early stages when it was called off, a senior administration official said. Planes were in the air and ships were in position, but no missiles had been fired when word came to stand down, the official...

What Media Can Do To Combat Fake News Label

On January 28, 1786, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter to James Currie this quote, “Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” Indeed, free dissemination of news is essential to keeping a citizenry informed with the information they need to form opinions and make decisions. An informed population is an empowered one. To that point, news organizations have a huge responsibility when they take on that role. As such, news reporting agencies and journalists should hold themselves to a higher standard. Credibility and ethics are important to say the least....
