n a land where rivers have run dry, lakes have vanished, and fertile soil has turned to dust, men in clerical robes still stand on pulpits without shame and declare: “Women’s unveiled hair causes drought!” This is not satire, nor the delirium of a lone village cleric. It reflects the mindset of a regime that has ruled Iran for forty-six years, a regime still incapable of understanding that the connection between clouds and rain is scientific, not moral or religious. From its inception, the Islamic Republic was built on ignorance and superstition. Today, it stands idle before the greatest environmental...

Kennedy Jr., and the so-called Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. “I’ll have a MAHA energy ball,” wrote Schlossberg. He proposed a recipe that called for several ingredients, including “2 oz of Jew blood (ashkenazi not Sephardic).” “Baked at 300degrees until...

In the German town of Overath (North Rhine-Westphalia), this year’s Christmas market has been cancelled.

It wasn’t long ago that Christmas markets were among the social highlights of the year. Whether in small towns or major cities -- they were meeting points for friends and family, for mulled wine, sausages, and quiet conversations wrapped in winter’s cold and early darkness. Places of Togetherness There was this special peaceful coziness. A place where community was celebrated --...
