                  Letter: Variation on stupid

                    James Carville famously penned the phrase “It’s the economy stupid” during Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign against George H.W. Bush. This year expect to hear variations on the theme, including - “It’s the war stupid”; “It’s the Iran MOU stupid”; “It’s the tariffs stupid”; “It’s the infl…

                    Letter: Put Up a White Flag. We Lost the War in Iran.

                      In a colossal surrender, Trump’s MOU (memo of understanding, or concept of a plan) gives Iran everything it wants and leaves the US worse off than Obama’s 2015 settlement with Iran.

Performing were musical legends Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Bono, Eddie Vetter, Marc Anthony, Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, and Christina Aguilera.

                        Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                        A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.

                        Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                        The Herald has missed its mark in offering us reassurance of the court’s stability and the strength of democracy. And when it values confidence over honest scrutiny, its words ring hollow.

                        An opinion writer argues that recent U.S. military actions and tensions in strategic waterways highlight the limits of hard power and the risks of overextending American influence. The piece calls for a renewed emphasis on diplomacy, international cooperation and “soft power” as the foundation of U.S. leadership in global affairs.
