Tuesday July 14th, the House of Representatives passed a bill to let states choose Daylight Saving Time as a permanent, year-round thing. It’s called the Sunshine Protection Act. The bill passed by an astonishing 308 to 117. Now it has to go to the Senate and then to the president. The president has already let

It’s time to be careful, very, very careful. And it’s time not to let our domestic politics blind us. As the Iranians and their allies, the Chinese, see it, a new balance of power is taking over the world. And the United States is no longer the dominant superpower. Far from it. In fact, a Hezbollah official, Wafiqu Ṣafā, says that
Wednesday afternoon, June 17th, the president and his administration released a document they had been teasing for close to a week: a 14-point memo of understanding bringing the war with Iran to a close. Is that memo of understanding, that MOU, a victory or a defeat for the United States? Is that MOU a cause for
Donald Trump has now told us for the 38th time that we are on the brink of a peace deal with Iran, a Memorandum of Understanding in which we both agree to turn the Strait of Hormuz back into a free passage zone, in which we agree to stage a next level of negotiation on Iran’s
Our president believes we’ve won the Iran war. He might be surprised to discover that Iran believes he’s lost. Yes, Iran thinks it has won. Here’s what one of Iran’s mouthpieces, PressTV, said on Monday: the American side now confronts an inescapable choice: either cease hostilities and accept Iran’s terms, or brace for the complete
Once upon a time the idea of a genie in Aladdin’s lamp was a fantasy. That genie was conjured in prose sometime before 1704 in the Arabian Nights. But it couldn’t be conjured in reality. Now with the advent of AI, that fantasy is about to come true. Yes, within less than a decade we may well have
In a world that often rewards conformity, Howard Bloom has built a life — and a legacy — on defying it. To call Bloom a publicist would be accurate, but insufficient. To call him an author would be true, but incomplete. To call him a thinker barely scratches the surface. Howard Bloom is an anomaly — a
If you’re looking for someone who doesn’t just talk about big ideas but actually forces you to rethink how the world works, Howard Bloom is in a category of his own. Bloom has spent decades dismantling conventional wisdom—about evolution, culture, power, creativity, and the hidden systems that quietly shape human behavior. He’s not interested in trends or
Howard Bloom has built a career doing what most thinkers avoid—crossing lines. Not political ones. Intellectual ones. Science into culture. Biology into history. Rock music into evolutionary theory. While most writers specialize, Bloom synthesizes, pulling patterns from places that aren’t supposed to touch and insisting they belong in the same conversation. Before he became an
Early Wednesday morning, December 3rd, the AARP, the nation’s leading organization for those over the age of 55, released a report with a radically unexpected revelation. You would think that the loneliest Americans among us would be teenagers who are leaving their families, going off to college, and being forced to build an entirely new
Why should we give thanks on Thanksgiving? We live in a system much bigger than we are. Our foods come to us courtesy of a sun 95 million miles away, and courtesy of life’s 3.5 billion year evolution. What’s more, our foods don’t just come from California, Florida, Brazil and Africa. Our turkey comes to
This week a surprising song with a surprising origin soared to number one on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales chart. It was “Walk My Walk” by Breaking Rust. “Walk My Walk” was a distinctive song with a powerful sound and quintessentially country lyrics. And Breaking Rust’s EP, Resilient, had five songs of persistence and pride, remaining true
The big question in astrophysics right now is whether our solar system has been penetrated by a giant spaceship. A spaceship from a distant solar system. And from a distant civilization. A spaceship that deliberately cruised past three separate planets, then hid behind the sun. Why swing behind the sun? Says Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, to release
Frankly, I was horrified by the coverage of Israel’s retaliatory strikes on October 29th. Horrified by the headlines claiming, “strikes kill more than 100 in Gaza.” And horrified by the mainstream media’s coverage of this entire Gaza war. The mainstream media has been hijacked by Hamas. Hijacked by Muslim movements that want to see Israel exterminated
In September, when Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, sat down for nearly an hour in a private session with Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly, Zelensky asked for American Tomahawk missiles. Then, two days ago, on October 6th, Trump told reporters that before making a decision he wanted to clarify exactly how the
In just two days, September 22nd and 23rd, President Donald Trump’s perception of the Russian war against Ukraine changed dramatically. After speaking at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, President Trump met Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and left with a whole new view of the Ukraine war. Remember February 28th, 2025, just seven months ago,
Why can’t there be world peace? Because every great nation wants to be on top. That means China, Russia, and the USA are battling to be the number one nation on earth. Why? Because biology has built something strange into us: the pecking order, the social totem pole, the ladder of status, what scientists call the “dominance hierarchy.” And
At 6:01 pm on the evening of May 20th, CNN published a story reporting that, “The US has obtained intelligence suggesting that Israel is preparing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.” The story, says CNN, came from “multiple us officials familiar with the latest intelligence.” And what was their data source? “Private messaging from senior Israeli officials,
