“A longtime ally of Donald Trump resigned from his post leading a Department of Justice investigation into whether former law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against the Republican president. ‘Sometimes people want things done faster and that’s all you can do,’ Joe diGenova said on Thursday. He appeared to be referring to concerns among other Trump loyalists that the president’s retribution cases were not moving quickly enough. … DiGenova had previously asked the then US attorney general, Pam Bondi, to appoint him to the job and had openly and repeatedly claimed Trump was the victim of an intelligence community conspiracy. But five months later, no charges have been brought, and it remains unclear whether any will be, or what information has been gathered to support any basis for the idea of a plot against Trump by the government officials who investigated him.” (09/10/26)

“The Ukrainian imbroglio has now raged longer than the First World War and shows no sign of abating. Throughout the conflict, the Europeans and Americans have waged an increasingly bitter proxy war, sustaining Kiev’s defense and helping kill tens of thousands of Russian soldiers. Moscow appears to be intensifying its response, especially if it is responsible, as charged by Germany, for last month’s drone attack on Leipzig Airport. European policymakers are increasingly concerned about the potential for a broader conflict. … the allies—at least the U.S.—should step back, reducing their role in the conflict. Putin committed a great wrong against Ukraine, which warranted allied support for its survival. But NATO and especially America should avoid a broader military confrontation.” (09/10/26)

“‘He couldn’t get over the fact that Clancy viciously killed her children.’ Those are the words of one of the insufferably condescending female jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial who have gone public with their disdain for the lone male juror who refused to go along with their not guilty verdict. Good for him. … Now that several of the jurors have come out and exposed themselves, we can see the immense pressure that the lone holdout juror was under day after day in that jury room, being harangued and browbeaten by women infuriated that he refused to be persuaded by their self-proclaimed superior wisdom.” (09/10/26)

“Algeria decided to sever diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after what it described as the ‘exhaustion of all means to preserve bilateral ties’, Algerian state media said on Thursday. Algeria accused the UAE of ‘provocative and hostile acts’, without providing details in a statement released by the foreign ministry. … Shortly after Algeria’s announcement, Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, said on X that diplomatic relations should be based on ‘rationality, communication and clarity of interests’, rather than ‘riddles and signals that require decoding’.” (09/10/26)

“Across the country, a chilling shift is occurring. Political violence has become a twisted form of virtue signaling. Mahatma Gandhi is out and Luigi Mangione is in. For an increasing number of young people, nothing signals your values like a willingness to kill others for them. For decades, being nonviolent has been the touchstone for many on the left. Something is changing. On my campus and others around the country, students are rationalizing violence and even idolizing assassins.” (09/10/26)

“The city of Denver filed a lawsuit Thursday to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from going to voting sites. The lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Secretary Markwayne Mullin argues that ordering federal officers to carry out detainments and serve warrants violated the ‘troops at polls’ law. The troops at polls law, established by Congress during the Civil War, imposed fines and potential jail time for federal officers who show up to ‘any place where a general or special election is held, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States.'” (09/10/26)

“Anyone who thought Donald Trump was a fiscal conservative may want to reassess after his most recent promise he made during his Dallas trip earlier this week. At the September 9, 2026 Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas, President Trump offered $5,000 to every adult American citizen if the Republicans keep power in the U.S. House and Senate from the November 2026 midterm elections. Trump’s promise, like many, lacks reality. He’s like every other politician buying votes, something Republicans accuse Democrats of doing frequently. And the math of his promise should scare all Americans, as Trump exposed his disdain for financial conservatism. With around 240 million adult American citizens, Trump’s ‘dividend’ would amount to around $1.2 trillion, when we are already running a deficit of TWO TRILLION DOLLARS a year.” (09/10/26)
