In case you still need convincing, this interview with Ezra Klein shows why Maggie Haberman is our most astute analyst of current political culture in the US in general and of DT in particular. It's really long, but I couldn't stop reading it

Neocon he may be, but Bret Stephens is a gifted wordsmith: "The same country that freed its slaves, welcomed immigrants [and[ landed men on the moon . . now bids to be the global equivalent of the expensively dressed man soiling his pants at a cocktail party."

Brilliant reporting by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan on the leadup to the war with Iran. Even more evidence that Bibi has more sway over Trump than anyone in his own cabinet, and no one but Vance seems to have given any serious pushback

The World Figure Skating Championship starts on Mar 24, but it's not showing up on Peacock. Will the events be streaming there?

This could be the result of having a nincompoop like Pete Hegseth in charge of the US military, but it is also typical of the Netanyahu regime. These sites have no strategic value, and I share the Iranian people's outrage at this desecration of their heritage

The all-star In Memoriam sequence led by Lauryn Hill was undeniably a musical highlight of this year's Grammys. But in what universe are Ozzy Osborne, Roberta Flack, and D'Angelo more deserving of tributes than Brian Wilson and Sly Stone?

Given his exemplary track record in management and his deep empathy and respect for people of color, Pete Hegseth is the ideal person to take charge of the government in Venezuela, right? If Marco Rubio has to share that responsibility with the former Fox News host, maybe HE will start drinking

I was appalled by the interview with Dear Leader while the Detroit-Washington NFL game was in progress. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma fawned like Cabinet sycophants, even asking him how the country was doing, which allowed him to offer political talking points/lies. Just shameful . . .

"Democracy Dies in Darkness" indeed—it's getting pretty dark, Mr. Bezos, when wack-job former talk show hosts begin to grace your op ed pages

With some trepidation, I finally watched A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic. I think Timothee Chalamet does an amazing job of capturing Dylan's voice, both spoken and sung, and the performances, both real and imagined, are compelling. Edward Norton is also excellent as Pete Seeger

Congratulations to Kumu Hula Vicky Holt Takamine. It is wonderful to see her recognized for all she has done for Hawaiian dance and culture
