Both India and Pakistan have called for "return" of the Koh-i-noor diamond by the remnant of the British Empire.

These requests are silly because they are anachronistic. The Koh-i-noor was part of the spoils of conquest on several occasions, across centuries, back when despoiling after conquest was normal.

Nowadays we reject the idea that victors in war have the right to loot whatever wealth they find in a defeated country, and we try to prevent that. That is a step forward. But it is absurd to selectively denounce one specific long-ago instance of this practice, and demand "restitution" of specific pieces of loot to a previous conqueror.

On life and death for Palestinian children, in villages invaded repeatedly by Israeli soldiers who are protecting Israeli colonies that shouldn't be there in the first place.

Peter Thiel is a declared enemy of democracy and is spending tens of millions on politicians who aim to sabotage it.

He is also specifically working to sabotage climate defense. It follows that, unless you are old, his plan includes your probable death, and most people's death, though not right away.

And he is not the only billionaire Republican megadonor, but he is the one that is most deeply hostile to Democracy.

Simple reasoning from basic facts shows that the Republican "stolen election" claim is bogus.

Bernie Sanders: *Democrats shouldn't focus only on abortion in the midterms. That's a mistake.*
