<![CDATA[Just a few years ago it was common for people on the left to deny that there was any such thing as cancel culture on the left. The standard line for a number of years was the Republicans were seizing on a handful of incidents at college campuses and blowing them up into an ideology that didn't really exist.]]>

Watching the Iranian Regime Literally and Figuratively Run Out of Gas
on August 26, 2026 at 4:30 pm
<![CDATA[The quiet diplomacy of Operation Economic Outcast is being delivered all over the world this week by the Trump administration, and it will be very interesting indeed to see how countries like China, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates react to the tightening of the global economic tourniquet on the dying regime. Each country in question has a reason, or several, to reject the demands of President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, but the bottom line is the Americans aren't going all-in on this poker hand without an advantage. The dollar remains the world's reserve precisely because no one in the free world wants to see the yuan, the currency of the Communist Chinese Party in Beijing, take over the global markets. Axios reported yesterday that the Trump administration's plan is to fully implement Economic Outcast over the next few weeks and months, and keep the blockade of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz in place until after the midterms before reassessing whether a return to kinetic action is warranted. Rich Goldberg of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies has a great piece in the New York Post about what this extra layer of sanctions could resemble soon. ]]>
