“Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky says he has returned Poland’s highest honour after his Polish counterpart Karol Nawrocki said he was stripping him of the award. The Polish Order of the White Eagle was bestowed on Zelensky in 2023 by then-President Andrzej Duda. But Kyiv caused outrage last month after renaming a Ukrainian army unit after a group of controversial World War Two fighters called the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Three senior Ukrainian officials have also said they are returning awards bestowed by Poland, to show solidarity with their president. Many in Ukraine regard the UPA, which existed in the 1940s and 1950s, as heroes who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Soviet Red Army, Nazi Germany and Polish authorities. The group’s red and black flag is often used by Ukrainian troops on the front line today.” (06/20/26)

“Arguing to uphold the ban, the government had to argue that marijuana users were more dangerous than the general population. Yet as the Court pointed out, marijuana is legal in most States. And Congress has constricted Department of Justice funding for enforcement of federal marijuana laws. Moreover, the Executive branch has moved some marijuana from Schedule I (outlawed) to Schedule III (regulated). In short, Hemani rests on foundations that both originalists and a non-originalists can find compelling.” (06/19/26)

“M&M’s is embracing the ‘Make America Healthy Again’ movement with a new product set to launch this summer. The iconic brand will introduce a version of its candies made without artificial dyes beginning in August, as it marks its 85th anniversary. However, the change comes with a tradeoff: M&M’s plans to eliminate its blue and brown candies from the lineup. Mars told The Wall Street Journal the colors could not be recreated with natural ingredients at a reasonable cost.” (06/20/26)

“To evaluate the Iran Memorandum of Understanding on its merits, beyond the hype, let’s start by separating what we know from what we don’t. Iran’s military has been destroyed. It has no air force, no navy, and no air defenses. We have obliterated Iran’s uranium enrichment plants, its uranium mills, and its uranium hexafluoride conversion facility, as well as the secret bomb-making workshops in Parchin that Iran would never allow the IAEA to inspect. We have destroyed most of Iran’s ability to manufacture drones and ballistic missiles. We have shattered the Iranian economy. We have pitted the regime against itself, as seen in recent demonstrations organized by hard-liners against the MoU. We have also demonstrated that America has a new ‘special relationship’ – with Israel, not Britain.” [editor’s note: I really need to find this guy’s LSD dealer – TLK] (06/20/26)

“Why in the world should the American people be forced, through their tax system, to fund a government that they might not wish to fund if they were free to decide what to do with their own money? Where is the morality in such a program? Where is the justice in such a program? How is such a program reconcilable with the principles of liberty?” (06/19/26)
