A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

A lot of science fiction is disturbingly prescient in its dystopia. I'm still the hopeful Star Trek kid, but the predictability of this shit is bleak sometimes.

Not learning from mistakes is the opposite of the scientific method. When arrogance and stupidity go hand in hand.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

In 2025, PM Mark Carney before he was elected, sized up PoiLIEvre very nicely. He repeats Poilievre's slogans "Canada is broken" and "Canada is broken because we're stupid". "Last refuge of a scoundrel." PM Carney sums Poilievre up very well. ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🍁❤️

Our global distraction spells death for Cuba.
