In the fullness of time Israel will probably retaliate in some limited form, but under American pressure it will calibrate its response so that it does not prompt an uncontrollable spiral of escalation.
The publicly subsidized programming of National Public Radio draws a mostly white, high-income earning audience with degrees from elite institutions. It should be no surprise this group trusts government to uphold its interests, given they have the same interests.
The effort to make the illegal immigrant workers who died in the Key Bridge collapse into the moral equivalent of emergency responders rushing into the World Trade Center on 9/11 is little more than a cheap appeal to manipulate the public’s emotions.

Rob Henderson’s memoir “Troubled” demonstrates why it’s not enough for a writer to dwell on the problems that afflict a person and his community. Henderson should now turn his focus to what makes him, and his circle, blessed.
The ultimate aim of the Jacobins prosecuting and disbarring lawyers who represent high-profile Republican clients is the subordination of the rule of law and cowing into submission political opposition.
