One of many myths surrounding the Trump phenomenon is that he is some kind of chess master. Interrogating Grok produces a 1968 Chess Life Magazine chess problem, submitted by a 22-year-old Donald Trump, a story indicating some Trump skill at the game, and his nascent litigiousness. But Grok admits, "the 1968 Chess Life story is a hoax. (It was} their main April Fool's prank on April 1, 2016."

In recent years, many Western countries have introduced legal duties to promote equal outcomes or "equity," under the auspices of anti-discrimination and human rights law. For example, Canada has an Employment Equity Act, which aims to implement "the principle that employment equity means more than treating persons in the same way but also requires special measures and the accommodation of differences."

A vast cloying morass of injustice has visibly submerged the British legal systems in anything connected to Palestine.
In a quite incredible series of linked and kinked events this week, the senior KC representing one of the Palestine Action activists in the Filton trial was in the Court of Appeal arguing against being found in contempt of court for his summing up in that case - a speech which I described at the time as the greatest legal speech I had ever read.

President Vladimir Putin declared that Russia and Israel make "a true common family; I can say this without exaggeration. Almost 2 million Russian speakers live in Israel. We consider Israel a Russian-speaking country...Without any exaggeration, I can say with pride that probably there has never been such a high level of relations between Russia and Israel, if, of course, we don't go back to the very first months or maybe the first couple of years of the state of Israel.

His article is the most detailed warning yet from the most senior Russian official thus far of what the Kremlin is contemplating, under the newfound influence of hardliners like Sergey Karaganov whose sway over Putin has grown in recent months, to avert this growing German-led 1941-like threat.
Former Russian President and incumbent Deputy Chair of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev published an incredibly detailed article ahead of Victory Day about Germany's remilitarization.

If you ask 1,000 random people on the street what the future of humanity is going to be like, you will probably get 1,000 different answers. But the truth is that there shouldn't be any confusion about what the future of humanity is going to be like. According to the Bible, the story of human history is building up to a grand crescendo. Jesus Christ is going to return, and the signs are all around us.

he Democrat party is facing such a host of seemingly intractable problems - structural, financial, legal, and ideological - that it will be close to a miracle if it survives after this year's midterms. The below-deck shuffles - encouraging illegal alien votes, manipulating the census, making crooked voting almost impossible to check, and stuffing their pockets with illegal contributions through ACT Blue and pay-to-play schemes of USAID and NGOs - are all suddenly being exposed and blocked.
Ending western warmongering should take priority over every other societal concern, in the same way your husband being a serial killer would be a more urgent concern than his refusal to wash dishes.

First and foremost the west needs to stop murdering people. Ending western warmongering should take priority over every other societal concern, in the same way your husband being a serial killer would be a more urgent concern than his refusal to wash dishes.

If the Church is to continue to transform and humanize the world, how can she dispense with beauty in her liturgies, that beauty which is so closely linked with love and with the radiance of the Resurrection?

Les concepts géopolitiques ont longtemps été le facteur le plus important dans la politique moderne. Ces concepts sont basés sur des principes généraux qui permettent d'analyser facilement la situation de n'importe quel pays.

La tradizione strategica cinese subordina la guerra alla stabilità politica, alla legittimità e alla ricerca dell'armonia, mentre la concezione statunitense moderna ha trasformato la forza militare nello strumento ordinario della propria egemonia globale dal 1945 a oggi.
Nel confronto tra Cina e Stati Uniti non si contrappongono soltanto due potenze, due economie o due modelli istituzionali.

Mercredi, le président Trump avait donné à l'Iran 48 heures pour répondre à une page de souhaits des États-Unis pour aboutir à un accord de paix temporaire. Jusqu'à présent, l'Iran l'a ignoré. Je crois qu'il a raison de le faire. Il n'y a aucun espoir que les États-Unis acceptent même la plus petite des demandes iraniennes, la levée des sanctions, en échange de la réouverture du détroit d'Ormuz.

De Gaza à Téhéran, de la politique de résistance aux limites de la diplomatie régionale, une question pressante a refait surface au cœur de la guerre de 2026 : pourquoi la Palestine n'a-t-elle pas été explicitement placée au centre du cadre de cessez-le-feu proposé par l'Iran ? Dans cette analyse critique, Ramzy Baroud remet en cause l'hypothèse d'un abandon, soutenant au contraire que la réponse réside dans la nature fragmentée de la représentation palestinienne et dans l'architecture politique inégale du camp de la résistance lui-même.
