On Tuesday, June 18th, a new word showed up in the vocabulary of the Middle-East war: “inevitable.” Nearly every expert in Israel from the country’s military leaders to its newsletter writers said that an all-out war with Lebanon’s Hezbollah was inevitable. And who is Hezbollah? Like Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah is a part of Iran’s “Axis Of Resistance.” Hezbollah was founded in Lebanon in 1982 by, guess who? Iran. Iran built Hezbollah to follow the genocidal ideology of Iran’s modern founding father, the Ayatollah Khomeini. And Iran built Hezbollah for one major goal: to do Iran’s bidding… and to help wipe Israel off…

On Wednesday June 12th something frightening happened. The Russian Northern Fleet naval group completed “precision missile weapons” drills East of the Florida Keys, within easy nuclear missile distance of the United States. Then the four ships of mass destruction sailed to Cuba, only 106 miles from the beaches of Florida, anchored at Havana Harbor and were greeted by a 21-gun salute, a smattering of Cuban celebrants, the occasional Russian flag, and a handful of Russian tourists. The naval group included the Admiral Gorshkov Frigate, the Akademik Pashin medium tanker, the Nikolay Chiker rescue tugboat and, most ominously, the Kazan nuclear submarine.…
Over its hundred and fifty year history, professional baseball has experienced its share of scandals and embarrassments — sometimes involving players, sometimes teams, sometimes team owners, sometimes the leadership of the game itself, and sometimes even the fans. There’s been gambling. There’s been cheating. There’s been drug abuse. There’s been outrageous rhetoric. There’s been drunken rioting. There’s been wife-swapping. There’s been All-Star voting abuse. There’s been overt racism, collusion, litigation, court challenges, strikes and lockouts. And those are just some of the things we know about. What if there was a secret society of Baseball elders, who, in the wake…

In the wake of Covid, are Americans losing their minds? Sort of. We are going crazy for animal stories. Why? It could be because stories of insanity among humans are just too hard for us to take. In the Associated Press’s list of the 31 oddest stories of the week, fully 16—more than half—were tales about animals. First there was the Cannes film festival, where one AP headline claimed that, “The real stars…may be the dogs.” Then there was a separate headline story about the dog who starred in the Swiss film Dog on Trial, the big, galumphing griffon mix who won a Palm…

On Sunday May 26th Israel dropped two small 37-pound bombs to kill two Hamas leaders. These pinpoint bombs killed precisely the leaders they were intended for.
