[ad_1] Avik Jain Chatlani Prism Reports Back in June, when I read that author Marjane Satrapi “died of sadness,” I knew that the writing day was over.  As I made a coffee and scanned the news and comments about her passing, I wasn’t surprised to see overwhelming grief expressed by small literary blogs and big papers alike. But I was also confronted with criticism of Satrapi and her graphic memoir “Persepolis,” her largest and best-known work, which I have read a dozen times in its complete format.  Originally published in French between 2000 and 2003, in four installments, “Persepolis” was…

[ad_1] The United States has resumed its bombing of Iran after a “surprise attack” on American forces. US President Donald Trump had warned earlier on Wednesday that Iran was about to face a harsh response, reportedly telling Fox News: “We’re going to beat the f***ing s**t out of them.” The renewed strikes marked the first US attacks inside Iran since Trump paused the bombing campaign Friday. The halting of attacks came after 13 consecutive nights to allow diplomacy another chance; however, Iran continued to say that negotiations were not underway. Trump: US And Iran Engaged In “Very Friendly” Talks During the pause in fighting, reports started…

[ad_1] A considerable portion of libertarian infighting seems to stem from the largely unrecognized fact that there are two different ways to interpret the non-aggression principle (NAP). On the surface, the NAP seems clear: aggression is wrong. But there is a deontological way to interpret this and a consequentialist way, and these interpretations are mutually exclusive. Deontological reasoning argues people should refrain from acts of aggression, even if that leads to a less free society.

[ad_1] Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 by speaking candidly to the American people and never backing down from his original statements no matter how offended the mainstream media was by his sentiments. Every other politician was sticking to talking points, glib and predictable, but Trump was saying whatever came into his head, consequences be damned. In 2026, that same verbal recklessness is likely to cost Trump a Republican Senate and House and very possibly make it impossible for him to be succeeded by a Republican two years later. If you are a Democrat, that’s great news. But if…
