When the World Chooses the Lie, Over the Truth
If I walked into a room tonight wearing a glittering crown and greeting people in Spanish, would anyone truly believe I was the Queen of Spain? If I strolled down the street in a police uniform, flashing a badge I bought online, should I be trusted to enforce the law? If I wore a designer jacket from a market stall in Istanbul, could I claim to be wealthy?Unfortunately, when it comes to Israel, the global conversation works on exactly that kind of shallow logic: appearances are enough, as long as they match the story people want to tell. Truth becomes irrelevant. Verification is optional.
Trump on Verge of Major Victory in Battle Over Panama Canal
in January, President Donald Trump vowed to eradicate Chinese influence from the Panama Canal and preserve U.S. vital interests in the region. After months of tense negotiations, he appears to be on the cusp of achieving that goal.

August planet alignment – six planets and the Moon parade the sky this month. Here’s how to see it
