But based on data. The glasses access biometric systems that have ...
While JD Vance is negotiating with the Iranian delegation in Islamabad on April 11, 2026, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense announces on X that Pakistani forces - including fighter jets - have arrived at King Abdulaziz Air Base in the Eastern Province.

There are sentences that stay with you because you cannot shake them. One of them comes from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. himself. He describes how he stands by the roadside on Interstate 684 next to his parked car and cuts the penis off a dead raccoon. His children sit in the car and wait. He says he took the organ with him to study it later.
Trump had said he would never extend it. Then Pakistan’s field marshal Asim Munir called. And Trump extended it anyway. The ceasefire, whose expiration he had accompanied for days with threats of bombing, lives on - officially at Islamabad’s request, while America waits for a unified proposal from Tehran. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanks Trump personally on X and on behalf of Field Marshal Munir ...

A place that was supposed to stand for stability became a military base within a few days. Ukrainian defense had been broken, Russian soldiers moved between reactor blocks, laid mines and searched buildings. Many employees fled Enerhodar ...
Pete Hegseth stands in the Pentagon. It is a prayer service. He opens his mouth and recites what he believes is a Bible verse. It comes from Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino, 1994, Samuel L.

War is not the opposite of peace. It is its condition. Peace is only war resting - holding its breath, counting its shots, searching for its next pretext. We call it stability. We call it normality. We call it everything except what it is: a pause in killing. Fadi stands ...

Donald Trump collects awards the way other people collect debt. The FIFA Peace Prize. The “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal.” The Nobel Peace Prize trophy from a Venezuelan opposition leader who handed him her own copy because he wanted one so badly.
