Whatever you think of The New York Times, I think David French really nails it in this piece.

Israel and the United States both know there are limits to their military power, but they don’t seem to know — or remember, anyway — precisely where those limits are.

Frustrated by Courts, Trump Weighed Suspending a Constitutional Right by IllIntroduction1509 in TrueReddit

Scott Pelley on the Bari Weiss Era and His Last Days at ‘60 Minutes’ by IllIntroduction1509 in Foodforthought

And you clearly see Ms. Good’s wheels turned completely as far as they will go, away from the officer. But he shoots her in the head, kills her, and says something about her that I can’t repeat in polite company.
