THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Peter Tonguette) - Dress for the Weather

Wearing windbreakers during winter suggests a certain disconnection from reality. The post Dress for the Weather appeared first on The American Conservative .

Culture Dress for the Weather Wearing windbreakers during winter suggests a certain disconnection from reality. As I write this column, the snow has vanished, the sky is bright and cloudless, and the high temperature is somewhere in the bracing but companionable upper 40s. This means that my fellow Ohioans are dressing . . . in much the same manner as they have during the last few weeks of bitter cold. What gives?

UK Special Coverage NHS: National Hostage Situation Britain is rotting under DEI—and the decay comes right from the top.  UK Special Coverage We are all familiar with the usual characteristics of hostage videos: the dead eyes of the participants, their dulled, robotic tone of voice, as if reading words from a script they do not truly believe, and the general air of menace, as if one wrong move will result in an immediate execution from the unhinged militant making a menacing throat-cutting gesture just out of view. I thought of this very same genre of hostage-porn recently after being sent a video from a whistleblower in the National Health Service (NHS), Great Britain’s socialist healthcare provider, who had been forced to sit…Open

Foreign Affairs Not So ‘Mission Accomplished’? The Iran intervention could well turn into an open-ended misadventure. (CARLOS BARRIA/POOL/AFP via Getty Images) In the wake of the 1991 Gulf War victory, then-President George H.W. Bush rode on a wave of public opinion that would not carry him to reelection. Celebrating the recent victory in Kuwait, he uttered one of the most famous remarks of his administration : “It’s a proud day for America. And, by God, we’ve kicked the Vietnam syndrome once and for all.” American wariness over war stemmed from the quagmire that was Vietnam, along with its domestic protest movements and political instability. Today, we more often talk about Iraq Syndrome: an ill (it seems to some policymakers)…Open

AXIOS (Barak Ravid) - Two months, two tracks: How Trump chose war with Iran

As Israeli bombs fell on the supreme leader's compound in Tehran on Saturday morning, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was meeting above ground with several of his top advisers. - He never saw it coming. Why it matters: The joint U.S.-Israeli operation that killed Khamenei was the culmination of two months in which President Trump pursued both diplomacy and war — on parallel tracks. On Friday, he chose war. - The crisis, which began with the public uprising in Iran in late December, was vintage Trump — full of twists, last-minute reversals and deliberate disinformation. - In the end, the ambiguity was itself a strategic asset, leaving Iran's leadership vulnerable to the largest aerial attack ever conducted by the Israeli military.
