After a fresh humiliation by booing crowds at the Queen’s jubilee, here comes another blow to the Duke and Duchess of Woke. “Revenge,” the much-anticipated book by British investigative reporter Tom Bower, may not offer much new information, but it shines as a deep dive into their psyches. The folie á deux on display here is worthy of a Highsmith novel: Two very broken people stoking each other’s rage, grievances and delusions of grandeur, believing in their unstoppable rise even as they fall ever downward. What other modern-day couple would wear their expulsion from the British royal family so dementedly,...

(CNN) House Republicans are plotting revenge on the select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection, as the GOP weighs a broader effort to re-litigate some of Donald Trump's biggest election grievances if it recaptures the House majority. The former President has been itching for payback and leaning heavily on his Capitol Hill allies to defend him against a recent slew of damaging revelations about his role in the deadly attack on the US Capitol. Now, as Republicans search for ways to undermine those findings, their party has started to lay the groundwork to investigate the select committee itself. Republicans...

“Revenge is a dish best served cold” is a phrase embedded in the English language, but it would seem that most people prefer to strike right away without any plotting, a new study reveals. Despite the Hollywood depiction of people savoring sweet revenge after months or years of plotting, a team from Virginia Commonwealth University says people would rather choose to retaliate straight away. Across six experiments, 58 percent of participants preferred to take immediate revenge, even if it meant dealing a lesser blow to an enemy. Teaching them a lesson Most of the 1,500 volunteers also chose to take...

Several years ago, I was the sponsor for a guy going through conversion from what he was (in a religious sense) to Catholic. He wasn’t just any guy; he was a very senior CIA officer who has frequently appeared on television since he transitioned to think-tank denizen. The Rite of Christian Initiation as an Adult (RCIA) experience builds a bond between sponsor and candidate/catechumen that often goes beyond religious conversations. On one occasion, we talked politics and foreign policy.What separates us from the Third World in our politics, he opined, are the twin concepts of peaceful transfer of power via...

How far can the fit-throwing over Florida's freedom-encouraging COVID policies go? President Rip Van Biden apparently hasn't had the time to read the Constitution after awakening from his four-year slumber. He has now threatened to impose a "travel ban," restricting the rights of people to travel in and out of Florida. Should he attempt to pursue this policy, it will be through executive order, the only manner of governance with which he is apparently familiar. The order would also presumably exempt illegal aliens since they have a free ticket for ingress into all fifty states. Before he takes pen to...
