Last week, nearly every elite men’s tennis player skipped one of London’s marquee tournaments. Only one of the world’s top 10 showed up at Queen’s Club, the traditional Wimbledon warmup; stars including Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz, and Ben Shelton were playing 300 miles away in Halle, Germany. A culprit was likely Britain’s tax code, which doesn’t stop at taxing prize money earned on British soil. It also taxes a slice of a player’s global endorsement income, prorated by how many days of the year they happen to spend in the U.K. Fail to advance far enough in the…
If you or someone else in the family has a chronic disease, abandon the fantasy of indefinite wilderness survival. For the chronically ill, the real goal is to buy enough days for help to arrive for the crisis to pass. Your “timeline” is determined by your condition’s severity, not by a generic bug-out bag. Big Pharma’s expensive analog insulins are fragile. Look for and stockpile older, unpatented human insulins (NPH and Regular), which are available over the counter, vastly cheaper and can survive for months without refrigeration in moderate climates. Use the reason of “disaster preparedness” to ask your physician…
While some U.S. journalists sneer at the tourist lovefest, the rest of the world is busy falling for America’s bigness, wealth and abundance. Source link

Trump says Iran is “being very nice” and “agreeing to everything,” but that sales pitch doesn’t survive contact with the actual reporting. We sit down with Antiwar.com’s Dave DeCamp to sort out what the US Iran memorandum of understanding seems to concede, why both governments are trying to frame the same document as a win, and how the memory of being bombed during earlier negotiations hangs over every new round of talks. We also dig into the most confusing public talking point: nuclear inspections. JD Vance claims Iran agreed to let IAEA inspectors back in, Trump talks like inspections last…

Some social media users misleadingly compared two different elections — one in Colombia and another in California — to say that cheating is happening in the Golden State. The social media posts referred to Colombia’s June 21 presidential runoff election, won by conservative candidate Abelardo de la Espriella, and California’s June 2 primary, where final results for some races are still pending. “How is it possible that the Colombians were able to count 99% of the votes in two hours and California still hasn’t finished counting the votes from three weeks ago?” an X user wrote June 21. “Oh, yeah……
JD Vance looks tired, but he’s feeling upbeat. I’m sitting with the vice president in his office aboard Air Force Two, somewhere over Western Europe, heading home after marathon peace talks with the Iranians in Switzerland. He’s exchanged his suit and tie for a sweater and jeans. His wife, Usha, lies on the nearby bed, heavily pregnant, now reading, now tuning into the conversation, now dozing off.

The most committed voices of Muslim anti-Americanism in the United States are not marginalized newcomers. They are privileged, cosmopolitan insiders who lead largely secular lives, writes Reihan Salam. Source link
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday in favor of the manufacturer of the popular weed killer Roundup, blocking tens of thousands of lawsuits alleging that the herbicide caused their plaintiffs’ cancers. The case before the Supreme Court stems from John Durnell’s 2019 lawsuit against Monsanto in which he claimed that he had developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, because of his use of Roundup for two decades. In his lawsuit, he argued that Monsanto should have included a cancer warning label on Roundup. In 2025, the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed a state jury’s award of $1.25 million…
