When the World’s Coolest Dictator Comes to TownFrom the Center Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, likes to call himself “the world’s coolest dictator.” Earlier in his time in office, Bukele was fond of wearing backwards baseball caps and aviator sunglasses to accentuate the non-traditional and culturally rebellious aspect of his leadership.

Since taking office in 2019, Bukele has sent the...0 Commentaires 0 Parts

Bret: What Powell meant to say is, “This is the stupidest @$*%# idea since the French cavalry suited up in armor at Agincourt.”0 Commentaires 0 Parts

Francis: Pope from Latin America who changed Catholic ChurchHis ascension to the papacy heralded many firsts. Francis was the first Pope from the Americas or the Southern Hemisphere. Not since Syrian-born Gregory III died in 741 had there been a non-European Bishop of Rome. He was also the first Jesuit to be elected to the throne of St Peter - Jesuits were historically looked on with suspicion by Rome. His predecessor, Benedict XVI, was the first Pope to retire voluntarily in almost 600 years and for almost a decade the Vatican Gardens hosted...0 Commentaires 0 Parts

Trump vs. Harvard: A Negotiated SolutionPresident Trump and Harvard University are at daggers drawn, and the battle promises to play out on the national stage for some time. Trump wants Harvard to change its ways, not only when it comes to the lax handling of disruptive demonstrations and antisemitic harassment, but also in the matter of the university’s pervasive leftist bias. Harvard, which seemed at least tentatively open to changes in its disciplinary practices, has drawn the line at the Trump administration’s insistence on...0 Commentaires 0 Parts

Former Pentagon official warns department’s dysfunction could topple HegsethThe Pentagon is in “total chaos” and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department. “The building is in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership,” John Ullyot wrote Sunday in a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece. “The dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership...0 Commentaires 0 Parts

GOP lawmakers running out of options to pay for Trump’s costly agendaRepublican leaders are rapidly running out of ways to pay for President Trump’s agenda as GOP lawmakers shoot down various proposals to cut spending or increase revenues. Without finding some new ideas, the GOP risks adding trillions of dollars to future deficits by passing Trump’s agenda, something many conservatives are loathe to do. Outside observers are expressing pessimism the Republicans will land on ideas that have enough support to get passed into law. “I just don’t see them...0 Commentaires 0 Parts
