"What do you call a party whose leaders require all of America's soldiers to undergo indoctrination in an ideology that calls for the 'dismantling' of America and tells them that their oath to defend the Constitution is an oath to defend a document that codifies 'white supremacy'?...

It was certainly the weirdest year. It began with a supremely weird decision by the entire world, except China and Sweden, to tank the global economy. No one has ever done that before.

Unlike Israel’s earlier peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan, the Abraham Accords involved Arab countries that do not border Israel, have never fought it on the battlefield, and are relatively unburdened by the Palestinian question. Accordingly, they were able to implement a “people to people” peace that eluded their predecessors.
