Fecklessly Fining 4chan

by Paul Jacob
“You host a website. Users can say whatever they want on this site. Next thing you know, a UK regulatory agency is sending you, an American organization based in the United States, a letter announcing a trillion-dollar fine for failure to comply with UK censorship demands. How much do you panic? If you’re 4chan, not much.” (03/27/26)
How the Republican Party Forgot It Was Conservative
Source: The American Prospect
by Paul Starr
“The main theme in much writing on contemporary politics is how ideologically polarized Democrats and Republicans have become. But the truly consequential change is that Republicans have broken with their own past. Under Donald Trump, the party hasn’t just reversed its positions on specific policies. It has routinely betrayed basic tenets of the conservative philosophy that Republicans have long claimed was the bedrock of their party. No one is shocked by Trump’s betrayals. What is more surprising is that most Republicans haven’t seemed to care. I’ve been thinking about the Republican betrayal of the party’s own tradition because of a comment about my work by Glenn Loury, the conservative Black economist. When I was on The Glenn Show in December, he criticized my new book American Contradiction because of my ‘apparent disregard for the positive contributions of conservative thought and policy to American life.'” (03/27/26)

Mongolia: Prime minister resigns following tensions within the ruling party
Source: Associated Press
“Mongolia’s Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav resigned Friday after rising tensions within the ruling Mongolian People’s Party and a parliamentary boycott by the opposition. The parliament accepted Zandanshatar’s resignation. The opposition Democratic Party earlier this month launched a boycott of parliamentary activity, citing concerns over the concentration of power within the ruling party. There have been months of corruption allegations against Justice Minister Enkhbayar Battumur, a close ally of Zandanshatar, who has not been accused.” (03/27/26)

To End the Iran War, Trump Must Divorce Israel
Source: The American Conservative
by Andrew Day
“As analysts have emphasized, Tehran ‘gets a vote’ as to when this war ends, and it doesn’t plan to stop until the U.S. and Israel learn that attacking Iran comes with high costs and shouldn’t be repeated in the future. The U.S., unable to hammer out an agreement, has been hammering Iran to coerce it to the negotiating table. … The Trump administration misunderstands the nature of the problem. To end the war, it needs to get tough not with America’s adversary, but with its cobelligerent: Israel.” (03/27/26)

Trump says US regime to hold off for 10 days on hitting Iranian energy sites
Source: Washington Post
“President Donald Trump said Thursday that progress has been made in negotiations with Tehran aimed at ending the Iran war. … Trump said he would delay attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure by an additional 10 days. … Statements from Iran about the negotiations have struck a different tone from Trump’s. Iran’s state-run media reported earlier Thursday that Tehran had rejected a 15-point ceasefire proposal by the White House. But the Iranian report did not suggest a total breakdown in negotiations, leaving open the possibility that Washington could issue a follow-up proposal. Iran has previously offered its own terms for ending the conflict, including demands for the United States and Israel to pay compensation for war damage, the cessation of Israeli attacks against Lebanon, and the recognition of Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.” (03/27/26)
