Russia invades Ukraine
In Defense of Speaker Mike Johnson
Author Herman Wouk captured well how to understand heroism. “Heroes are not supermen; they are good men who embody — by the cast of destiny — the virtue of their whole people in a great hour,” observed Wouk.

Foreign Policy Splits the Parties
In 2024, foreign policy doesn’t pit Republicans against Democrats so much as it pits Republicans against Republicans and Democrats against Democrats.

Hasan Compares Israel to Putin and Assad, Demands U.S. Let Hamas Live
Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, who is launching his own media company, traveled to CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip on Thursday to discuss the conflicting narratives behind the deaths of several Gazans who were gathered around an aid truck.

Putin Is Pushing Where There’s Mush
This week, Vladimir Putin finally — allegedly — murdered his chief political rival and critic Alexei Navalny.

MSNBC Suggests Supporting Israel Is Racist, Akin To Russia
For her Friday show, MSNBC’s Joy Reid launched a wildly anti-American and anti-Israel segment where she could hardly contain her excitement that South Africa was “standing up” to the West at the International Court of Justice as it accuses Israel of genocide. Guest and HuffPost senior diplomatic correspondent Akbar Shahid Ahmed was even more wild as he suggested support for Israel was racist…
The Bold & the Beautiful…& the Pro-Hamas: This Week at WH Briefings

HYSTERICAL: Chris Hayes Fabricates A New Russian Collusion For 2024
To the hammer, everything looks like a nail. If you are a conspiracy-theorizing MSNBC anchor, everything is going to look like the Russia Hoax. Case in point, Chris Hayes’ weird Russia Hoax tie-in towards the end of his rant on the GOP’s insistence that border security reforms be a part of any aid package to Ukraine.
