The Republicans do not help.

The Greatest Figure Skater Ever Is Michael Jackson on Ice, Surrounded by Winnie the Poohs

“People see Hanyu for the first time and they become hysterical or they’re moved to tears. It’s like their lives are complete.”

Nationalism has no place at the Olympics.
It is the hooligan's game.

Everyone in Trumpworld Knows He’s an Idiot

Michael Wolff’s new book shows the cynicism of all those covering for the president.

This column is probably correct.
The presidential succession is worse than Trump.

U.S. Will Withhold Security Aid From Pakistan

The United States has provided billions of dollars in aid to Pakistan but the Trump administration says it is not doing enough to confront terrorist networks operating there.

The U.S. has been buying a delay in a Taliban revolution.

It has been only partially successful.

The government of Pakistan will now fall.
That will cutoff the forces in Afghanistan and force an opposed evacuation,
a nuclear war with India or both.
The Russian victory will be complete if only temporary.
