It was a grey and dreary Wednesday morning, the kind of Wednesday morning that makes me long for the life of a robot. A lesser philosopher might condescend to the robots, commiserate with them on the heartbreak of being a form of matter that can never dream and never know…

If the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) are seeking to rescue the hostages that Hamas seized last week, they are doing a less than stellar job. It’s a romantic vision for sure: if you blow up every single thing in Gaza except for the hostages, then they’ll be really easy to…

If you are looking for a pulse to keep your finger on this summer, look no further than the veins of the red-blooded Tucker Carlson, as he goes head to head with former President Donald J. Trump. The interview conducted between the two on Wednesday evening will go down in…
