QUESTION: I read Trump’s comment to Netanyahu in Axios. You have been the voice of reason. I argued with someone you said you were anti-sematic for criticizing Netanyahu. They criticized Obama so I asked then you must be a racist. It went right over their head. I know who had two Jewish uncles who married into your family on both sides. Such people are idiots. My question is do you think this will last? OB ANSWER: Well, since the latest Israeli poll shows 61% of Israelis what Netanyahu to retire. Does that mean 61% of Israelis are anti-sematic? This is…

Hungary’s Viktor Orban represented the most visible challenge to the European Union’s vision of centralized political authority. He rejected migrant quotas, opposed sanctions that damaged European economies, resisted deeper integration, and repeatedly argued that Hungary’s government should answer to Hungarian voters rather than unelected officials in Brussels. That made him a threat. Not because he was unique, but because he demonstrated that a nationalist government could survive repeated attempts to isolate it. A constitutional amendment has been written specifically to prevent Orban from ever returning to office. Anyone who has served as prime minister for a total of eight…
In a small West Virginia county a few years ago, Wanda (pseudonym) asked her employer for some time off to deal with a situation at home. Her employer turned her down. Not long after, Wanda’s situation at home, the abusive partner she’d been trying to escape from, showed up at her workplace and threatened her at gunpoint. Police had to be called, and Wanda’s office shut down for the rest of the day. Samuel “Raymie” White, Wanda’s lawyer and the Legal Services Director for the West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence, told Fast Company this story to illustrate a point:…
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said what many leaders will not say publicly. Speaking to Al-Arabiya English, he accused Israel of carrying out a “Holocaust” in Gaza and said: “They already have a bad reputation in the world because of the bombing of Gaza.” He added that Gaza had been “wiped off the face of the earth” and warned that “there is no military solution.” Coming from Lukashenko, the West will dismiss it immediately because they hate the messenger. But that does not erase the condition of Gaza. The reported Palestinian death toll surpassed 73,000, with more than 173,000 wounded. Save…
FoodNeverComes has all the trappings of a food delivery app. You can scroll through a list of restaurants, select your items, and make modifications, then enter your address and method of payment and track the courier as they bring the food to your door. The only catch? As the app’s name implies, the food never actually comes. FoodNeverComes features no real transactions or deliveries. Instead, it’s part of a growing trend of fake online shopping sites spreading from South Korea. On so-called “dopamine sites,” users can simulate retail therapy without the actual retail, getting the buzz that comes from purchasing…
Kevin Warsh is now stepping into one of the most difficult jobs at a time when inflation is rising again, energy prices are climbing because of the Middle East conflict, and confidence in central banks remains fragile. What immediately stands out is that Warsh is not another Jerome Powell. He has spent years criticizing the Federal Reserve itself, arguing that many of today’s economic problems were created by central bank policy rather than solved by it. One of Warsh’s most important positions is his rejection of the idea that inflation was merely the result of supply chain disruptions or temporary…

New trends in how Americans are moving from city to city – or staying put – are developing in the post-pandemic real estate landscape. After the pandemic era’s explosion in working from home prompted people to flow out of cities in search of more square footage and a lower cost of living, things appear to be settling into new rhythms. A new report from Realtor.com sheds light on which cities are luring Americans with the promise of good jobs and affordable rent and where those needs are already being met. One spot of good news is that rent prices continue…
On LinkedIn, users may find thinkfluencers offering life lessons from mundane events, as well as expired ghost job listings. But on occasion, they might also find the opportunity of a lifetime—as did Roberto “Pico” Lopes in his inbox. The Irish-born banker-turned-soccer player spent his athletic career as a center back playing for Ireland’s Shamrock Rovers, but thanks to a LinkedIn message, he took his career to the international stage. It started in 2019 when Rui Aguas, the head coach of Cape Verde—a small archipelago nation in Africa—found out about Lopes’s ancestry. His father had been born on the island nation,…
