He’s encouraging aircraft to land in his front yard.”When I watched today’s deal at the club, East-West had a difficult signaling problem. South played at three hearts after a competitive auction. West led the king of diamonds, and East encouraged with the eight. West duly continued with the ace and a third diamond for East to ruff.SPADE SHIFTEast then led a trump. West took the ace and shifted to the nine of spades, but declarer judged correctly to take the ace, draw trumps and attack the clubs. When West’s queen appeared, declarer claimed, making three.West’s defense would have been right if East had held the ace of clubs instead of the king of spades, but then South wouldn’t have much of an opening bid.

TikTok Influencer Recruiting for Secret U.S. Bases in Israel

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:37:57 GMT

Twenty-six-year-old U.S. Army infantry veteran Thomas Latham is one of countless young people on TikTok, but he’s used it for a different purpose than most: recruiting veterans to staff secret U.S. military bases in Israel. “Being a contractor is lit, in America this view would be $4,000 a month,” says the superimposed text on a TikTok post by Latham. His phone camera pans across the view from a high-rise in the Israeli town of Beersheba. In 2017, the Israeli military celebrated the construction of a U.S. military base in the town — a presence the Pentagon tried to downplay. The video is one among many on Latham’s feed, where he frequently extolls life as a military contractor. Latham regularly posts job opportunities to help veterans trying to find work after the military, he said in an interview with The Intercept. At first, the TikTok posts came as part of his work as a recruiter for the private security contractor Triple Canopy. Since leaving Triple Canopy, he’s recrui...

Biden goes into 2024 with the economy getting stronger, but voters feel horrible about it

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:37:57 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden goes into next year’s election with a vexing challenge: Just as the U.S. economy is getting stronger, people are still feeling horrible about it.Pollsters and economists say there has never been as wide a gap between the underlying health of the economy and public perception. The divergence could be a decisive factor in whether the Democrat secures a second term next year. Republicans are seizing on the dissatisfaction to skewer Biden, while the White House is finding less success as it tries to highlight economic progress.“Things are getting better and people think things are going to get worse — and that’s the most dangerous piece of this,” said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, who has worked with Biden. Lake said voters no longer want to just see inflation rates fall — rather, they want an outright decline in prices, something that last happened on a large scale during the Great Depression. “Honestly, I’m kind of mystified by it,...
