WILL THE NEOCONS STRIKE BACK?

Vivek Ramaswamy has a favorite term for his enemies on foreign policy: “neocon,” short for neoconservative.

“I want to be careful to avoid making the mistakes from the neocon establishment of the past,” he told moderator Lester Holt during the third Republican presidential debate, held earlier this month in Miami.

He went on to brand both Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley “Dick Cheney in three-inch heels.”

Step aside, John Kerry, there’s a new globe-trotting carbon emitter in town: the New York Post reports on a study that found Jeff Bezos’s superyacht produces at least 7,154 tons of greenhouse gasses per year. That means the climate hawk’s big boat has a carbon footprint almost 450 times as large as the average American household.

With all the words being spilled about Israel’s war against Hamas, be sure to read the personal story of a woman who survived the deadly attack on a music festival that began the October massacre of Israeli citizens. Jackson Richman of The Epoch Times delivers the report.
