[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair The war resides mostly in the background here in the aggressor nation. Most of those who think about it at all tend to oppose it and seem to think it’s a task forced on the US by the zealots running Israel. Some take it even further, presenting an argument that blames the relationship between the mad rulers of Israel and the United States for the entire catastrophe. The argument varies, but its essence is that Bibi Netanyahu is the individual responsible for convincing the sundowning Donald Trump to bomb Iran for the sake of…

[ad_1] If you search for “home still” on Amazon, you will see a wide variety of contraptions designed to separate and concentrate a liquid mixture’s most volatile components. Many of them are explicitly advertised as appliances designed to produce alcoholic beverages such as whiskey, brandy, gin, and vodka. But if you bought one of those products with the intent to use it for that purpose, you would be committing a federal felony.

[ad_1] As President Donald Trump arrives in China to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, American lawmakers are trying to shut Chinese carmakers out of U.S. markets for good.  Thanks to a mix of tariffs and other import regulations, it’s been effectively impossible for American consumers to purchase a Chinese car. In January 2025, the Biden administration’s Commerce Department ratcheted up restrictions by issuing a final rule prohibiting the sale and import of connected vehicles—cars that use systems like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and satellite connectivity—and connected vehicle parts from China and Russia. The rule went into effect in March…

Interior Secretary Doug Burgam/X If you follow the Trump administration’s social media posts, you might spot its new mascot: a cartoon lump of coal with big eyes and babylike features. “Coalie” sparked a backlash almost as soon as Interior Secretary Doug Burgum debuted it for the Office of Surface Mining and Reclamation Enforcement in early 2026. Coalie’s design draws on a type of Japanese anime called Kawaii, a word meaning “cute” or “adorable.” It’s the latest in the White House’s efforts to pass off…

[ad_1] President Donald Trump said that he would “finish the job” against Iran unless they accept a deal soon to end the Iran War, which Wednesday entered its 36th day of ceasefire. Speaking to reporters Tuesday before departing for China on Air Force One, Trump said that Iran will “either do the right thing, or we’ll finish the job.” Asked about pressure to end the war due to rising prices, Trump said, “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situations.”  “I don’t think about anybody,” he added. “I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
