Nikki Haley is wearing a sweater designed by a pro-Palestine designer and her fashion choice is getting some buzz. It may be silly and low on the priority list of the concerns of voters but fashion diplomacy is a thing in politics. The issue was very apparent during the Trump administration.

One of my favorite descriptive terms is “midwits.” Midwits, as you likely have figured out, are intellectuals who are neither halfwits nor geniuses. They have very high opinions of themselves and spend much time telling you how much smarter they are than everyone else. They are slightly above average in intelligence but think they are […]
The International Court of Justice at The Hague (The ICJ, not to be confused with the International Criminal Court) is currently weighing charges of genocide against Israel and demanding a cease-fire in Gaza.

Peace on China’s terms meant electing the Beijing-friendly KMT Party so that reunification with the mainland could be negotiated. War, according […]

Standing as much as ten feet tall and weighing more than a quarter of a ton, they named the creature Gigantopithecus and it is only known to have lived in southern China. The ape is […]
