Hard to understand why we'd allow Hong Kong officials violating sanctions to enter the U.S. Photo op for climate change advocacy, I suppose? Since when did Beijing care about clean air & water? The logic escapes me.

Rather bad sign for the Tories if a senior MP like Gove is retiring before the election.

I’ll take a wild stab and predict this won’t work.

Gabe always has interesting & informed takes on matters Iranian.

Initial reports indicate that weather conditions are to blame for the incident involving Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's helicopter.

A solid explication here of Raisi’s murderous career.

If only the Islamic Republic could perish too. . . Imagine the joy in Iran among ordinary Iranians (and those in exile, too), and the vastly improved prospects for peace & stability across the Middle East.

Looking forward to hosting the penultimate #NixonSeminar tonight! We'll address anti-Israel college protests & how foreign policy impacts U.S. politics, more broadly. Live link below.

I was honored to speak Northwood University in Midland, MI yesterday -- a college devoted to critical thinking, polite debate, capitalism, patriotism. Imagine that! John Batchelor & I discussed on our weekly segment, link below. audioboom.com/posts/8495012-…

An important observation here by Paul Wood, and something I’ve been telling folks, too — the Abraham Accords have held. Arab signatories made a strategic, not short term, decision to warm to Israel. thespectator.com/topic/israel-m…

Another important China investigation by ⁦Didi Kirsten Tatlow⁩ — this time, on how Beijing is establishing a foothold in the Caribbean. Read the whole thing. newsweek.com/2024/05/03/chi…

Explosions reported in Syria, Iraq and Iran. Chaos, in short. Unclear yet whether this is the long arm of Israel
