Jimmy Carter's 1976 Presidential victories began when he showed surprising strength in -- wait for it -- Iowa.

There is censorship over every Israel media outlet. Israel does not allow foreign journalists to report from Gaza. They have killed a many Gazan journalists and are threatening to assassinate the few who remain.
Still, the magnitude of the atrocities will continue to surface:
“He told me to take them. In the next attack, use them as a human shield.”
An IDF soldier and five former Palestinian detainees tell CNN that the Israeli military has used civilians as human shields in Gaza, as @JDiamond1 reports.

Elon Musk pretends to be a champion for free speech. He criticizes the Brazilian judge, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and European policies. But I have yet to see him utter a single word of disapproval on Russia and China, where Twitter is banned.

Exactly the right decision by the Brazilian court: Musk’s days of spreading disinformation and monetising hate are coming to an end. The digital disinformation militias will no longer be able to function. Now let’s see the European Union follow suit.

REPORTER TO BIDEN: "President Trump has said repeatedly that he could've gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange. What do you say to that?"
BIDEN: "Why didn't he do it when he was president?"

Q: You have pushed false claims about people like President Barack Obama, saying he was not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswomen, women of color who were American citizens, to go back to where they came from. You have used words like ‘animal’ to describe Black district attorneys. You've attacked Black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are quote, ‘stupid and racist.’ You've had dinner with a white supremacist at Mar-a-Lago. So my question, sir, now that you are asking Black supporters to vote for you, why should Black voters trust you after you have used language like that?
Trump: Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner

I feel so sad for Donald Trump (The oldest nominee in US history).
Why is Melania and his children allowing him to stay in this race? It's elder abuse and they should be ashamed of themselves.
I mean, just look at his posts on Truth Social rambling on about Joe Biden, who isn't even in the race.

Thats It. I'm saying it!
“My God, Trump is an idiot”. He is “noxious,” “reprehensible,” and a “cynical as-hole”. He is "America's Hitler”. “I never liked him”. He is a “terrible candidate,” and you are all “idiots if you voted for him”. He is “cultural heroine,” and obnoxious.
“What percentage of the American population has Donald Trump sexually assaulted?”
By the way I would never say some of these things about Trump… but J.D.Vance has.

I’m old enough to remember when debates questioned Reagan’s mental fitness… talk about ‘sharp as a tack’!

A História retorna implacável para puxar a perna e morder o calcanhar dos herdeiros da tirania. Assim se escrevem os contos dos novos tempos.

The climate in US discourse generated by Saturday's attacks in Israel remind me of the climate the emerged in the wake of the 9/11 attack.
We examined some of those lessons on last night's show:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "After decades of scheming, Republican politicians have finally forced their unpopular agenda on the rest of America."

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

Many young people in rural battlefields have never experienced life without war, without U.S. bombings, Taliban attacks, night raids by Afghan forces, kidnappings. Most long for an end to war. It might be hard to understand, but some youth feel they have a shot at a future now.
