Three years on from the 7 October attacks, we remember those killed and call on Israel and Hamas to fully implement the ceasefire. My statement:

Genocidal slaughter is tiring work. With the scale of the killing its a miracle they can find time for anything else.

Not proud, but I once got creative and registered a team of 20-year-olds in a U10s tournament. Other coaches kept saying "you can't use them" and "they have beards" and "I think that's Myles Lewis-Skelly." But whatever happened behind the scenes, the game is won on the pitch.

Hot off successfully replacing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, Trump has now successfully replaced the 1951 US-Denmark treaty with the 1951 US-Denmark treaty. A record to run on!

This historic deal is a huge win for the United States and the American people. Thanks to President Trump’s vision and leadership, this historic agreement permanently guarantees U.S. security interests in the Arctic at zero cost to the U.S. taxpayer. Greenland will forever be part of the strategic defense area of North America and exclude any adversary from it and the surrounding area. This deal permanently and completely addresses our national security concerns in Greenland.

“The reporting of wars seems to have been inverted; what the powerful say and do is being reported first, and the killing of innocents is mentioned in passing, if at all.” cjr.org/the_media_today/iran…

Blackout Iran.

When the Trump administration launched a major attack on Iran, news organizations had to navigate a shaky environment for communications—and moral clarity.
