The price of groceries, as in Paris

The number one issue is neither Iran nor immigration, it is the price of groceries, as in Paris. Trump voted early in Florida, promised a million dollars to anyone who gets an electoral fraud convicted, and warned that he would be “Mister Veto” if the Democrats took Congress. The vote has not happened, the contest has begun.

From Belgrade to Sofia

It is the autumn of the ballot box. In Serbia, the Student List beat Aleksandar Vučić after fourteen years, and its supporters were sweeping Belgrade this weekend. In Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu finished first, without a majority. In Brazil, Lula is re-elected. Yesterday, Bulgaria voted. On Tuesday, America. Who, this time, will accept the result?
