Pakistan’s bigotry has once again shown its fangs. Last month, Pakistan witnessed another violent mob attack on Christians. Hundreds of Islamic militants killed Nazir Masih Gill, an elderly Christian shoemaker who clerics falsely accused of desecrating the Quran. The mob filmed themselves kicking and punching Gill and looting his shoe factory, posting the footage to social media. A mob of 400 took part in an attack on a Mujahid Christian settlement in the Punjab city of Sargodha, destroying a church and burning Christian homes. Pakistan has become a tyrannical state against its religious minorities. Pakistani mullahs, generals and politicians have…
(CNN) — “Don’t let those bastards wear you out.” This phrase, instilled in Dr. Anthony Fauci while he was a student at the Jesuit-run Regis High School in New York City, has become something of a motto for his professional life. Though he chose a career focused on science, medicine and public health, controversy has always assailed him, and he has often found a way to redirect the simmering buzz into something constructive by actively examining his positions.

Last year, I felt cheated when New York restaurant Lafayette sent me a box of its much-talked-about Supreme pastries. This was the pastry people had been lining up for hours for (a refusal to do after my Cronut experience) and raving about, a beautifully swirled pastry topped with a mind-blowing ganache. It had been featured on TV, taken TikTok by storm, and kicked off a croissant craze. But I was lucky enough to have four delivered straight to my apartment. Such are the perks of being a food writer, I thought to myself. But the moment I took a bite,…
After 40 months and two weeks Donald Trump succeeded in being driven by car to the Capitol. The last time he attempted to get there was 6 January 2021. The mob was rampaging, ransacking offices and chanting, “Hang Mike Pence!” Trump was “irate”, according to the account of Cassidy Hutchinson, the former White House aide, because he was not among the mob. “The president said something to the effect of, ‘I’m the effing president, take me up to the Capitol now.’” Hutchinson stands by her story of being told he had tried to grab the steering wheel and lunged at…
