"There is a fairly widespread mythology within the ranks of the Democratic Party that one of the big reasons Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election is because Joe Biden and his administration were too pro-Israel and insufficiently sympathetic to or helpful to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Harris herself believes it"

"I can remember when conservatives thought it was absurd that Obamacare allowed people to stay on their parents health insurance plans until age XX. The thinking was by that point in your mid-20s youre a grown adult and should be buying your own health insurance. Who knew that by the year 2025 a Republican vice president would be insisting that a man in his mid-20s still qualifies as a young boy"

"A South African woman attending the anniversary ceremony asked me what an equivalent would be in the United States. There isnt one but the U.S. and other nations experiencing a spike in populism and nationalism would be wise to keep a close eye on the groups rise. An American RSS would somehow bring together the Republican Party a swath of the evangelical churches a dash of the MAGA movement the Boy Scouts the American Federation of Teachers the AFL-CIO or Teamsters and maybe the Guardian Angels. Why this Hindu nationalist group matters beyond India"

"Defeat is an orphan; success has a thousand fathers.

"Now the filibuster may not be the most commonly known and understood aspect of the legislative process but its not exactly obscure either. Democrats such as Kamala Harris have argued that the filibuster shouldnt exist for years now insisting that it is a relic of Jim Crow as Barack Obama put it. (Apparently its only a relic of Jim Crow and morally unacceptable when Republicans use it; when Democrats use it the filibuster magically transforms into a noble and constitutional tool to ensure the rights of the minority party.)"

"Argentina uses the peso. As currencies go its particularly unstable. And when I write particularly unstable I mean that over the past decade the Argentinian peso has lost XX percent of its value against the dollar. For comparison during the time period the Syrian pound lost XXXXX percent of its value against the dollar and the Syrians were dealing with a 13-year brutal civil war with chemical weapons and ISIS and every horror under the sun.

"New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani insists he has no opinion about the future of Hamas but he is adamant that if Bibi Netanyahu ever sets foot in New York City the NYPD will arrest him on war crimes charges. Needless to say there are some gargantuan legal questions about whether the NYPD could arrest a foreign leader who has diplomatic immunity over a charge that the U.S. federal government does not recognize as legitimate; also note that the U.S. government does not recognize the International Criminal Court which issued the arrest warrant. In other words even if mayor"
