Picture this: It's 9 p.m. on January 13, 2026 — a Tuesday — and you tune in to your favorite cable-news network to watch the president's annual State of the Union address. But this year, the president doesn't take a bulletproof limo from the White House to the US Capitol. Gone are the hundreds of members of Congress traditionally in attendance. Instead, the commander in chief is wearing an orange jumpsuit, his message streamed to lawmakers and into your living room via Zoom from his prison cell. Yes, this scenario is equally far-fetched and outlandish — in the extreme. But...

I am also aware the pen is mightier than the sword. Goldstone’s Report is further evidence of this reality. What surprises me is shock people are expressing over the lack of outrage over Goldstone’s retraction of the lies in his report on Israel. The world today is filled with...

Rape is a four-letter word. When police get a report of one, it flies to the top of their priority list. Even, police say, when that reaction is exploited. Sexual assaults, like other crimes, are sometimes falsely reported. People pretend to have been raped for reasons ranging from a cry for attention to hiding an infidelity. In a recent Grapevine case, police believe a woman who reported being raped in her apartment may have been looking for an excuse to break her lease. After committing more than a week of resources to the investigation, Grapevine officers concluded that the evidence...

"We have found the weapons of mass destruction," Bush said in an interview with a Polish TV station. "We found biological laboratories." Bush spokesman Scott McClellan said Wednesday that Bush was...

As it's been all along, Euphoric Reality is the...
