@YosephHaddad Land for peace works. Remove Hizbollah from the south and work a peace agreement with Lebanon. It will take years, but it's better than the alternative. Reenergize the Lavi program and ADA/missile development. Israel is on its own, but in a position to weather this period.

@TeviTroy @WSJopinion Yes, but this is the perfect strategy for dealing with the magpie in chief. He chases every one of these red herrings. He wants a deal so bad. He'll do anything. Iran wants anything but a deal. He is negotiating against himself at this point.

@amjadt25 If you don't believe in anything, is it possible to feel shame? Or even know when you should?

[Amjad Taha أمجد طه @amjadt25]

For your information, during the first 80 minutes of negotiations, which have now concluded their first round, JD Vance did not raise the Islamic regime in Iran's nuclear program even once. Zero mention of the nuclear issue. Instead, Iran demanded that the United States stop Israel from responding to Hezbollah terrorists, support statehood for the Yemen-based terrorists, and accept Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, which it is already attempting to assert.

This is not a nuclear deal. It is one of the most shameful and disastrous negotiations imaginable.

@IMAO_ You can abolish prisons if you reestablish the death penalty for nearly everything. Of course, not imprisoning violent criminals is essentially inviting vigilantism and the blood feud, a distributed death penalty regime. That was a much better time in human history.

@Ostrov_A Don't worry; we're going to help the IRGC catch up as much as we can.

@bigdonkey47 College baseball doesn't generate the revenue for this to make sense for a lot of athletes. Those who have a serious shot at other sports, the best athletes, will likely make baseball a secondary sport or drop it. Not great for baseball as a whole.

@davidharsanyi You fight wars for political ends. If you can't achieve those ends, you lost the war. Tactical and operational successes are meaningless themselves. They only matter if, as means, they align with your strategic ends. The better strategist always wins, whatever the scorecard says.

@JeffPassan Yes, just what baseball needs, a way to encourage the best high school athletes to pick another sport. It's already the least predictable amateur -pro transition, but please limit payouts for the kids who don't want to go to college.

@VerminusM On the contrary, plenty of wealthy morons would be paying Twitter scribes for their digital stylus. Even the U.S. President could hire one.

@ammalusty What size are those "large" pizzas? Shrinkflation.

@hughhewitt @philipaklein Completely delusional. Iran will have no problem retooling with help from China, North Korea, and Pakistan. They have cash and know-how. What they can't rebuild themselves, their partners will. Any student of military history knows how hard it is to really destroy an industry.

@TeviTroy @rkylesmith It's not a museum; it's a temple. His cult of personality has always been a substitute religion. He was prophet, lawgiver, and messiah all wrapped up in one.

@JonahDispatch God is high and the Tsar is far.

[Notadoctor @SatScram]

@JonahDispatch It works because 1) most people don't know what a strawman argument is and b) don't know enough about a particular subject to recognize one in the wild.

[Notadoctor @SatScram]

@thedispatch I mean, you could substitute nearly anything for "war," and be correct.

Amazing and appalling: “This amounted to approximately 66% of all money ever deposited into their joint bank accounts. [Beirich] then used donors’ money to pay the couple’s personal living expenses.” #splc

A rice that prevents childhood blindness has been ready since the mid-2000s. It grows nowhere.

Vitamin A deficiency blinds up to 500,000 children a year. Half die within twelve months. To help, scientists added beta-carotene, the pigment that turns carrots orange, to rice. It cooks and tastes the same, though the grain is yellow. They called it Golden Rice and licensed it free to any farmer earning under $10,000.

Greenpeace spent twenty years fighting it country by country. Activists destroyed test fields. Lawyers got approvals revoked. A hundred Nobel laureates asked them to stop. They did not stop.

I spent weeks calculating what the delay cost. My estimate is 110,000 dead children. Roughly 15 a day, every day, for two decades.

The same technology did reach American grocery stores. It makes a pink pineapple that sells for up to $50.

The pineapple has a corporation rolling out a new fruit, with the profit margins to take on critics and market the science. Golden Rice had no profit margin to defend itself.
