The Mullahs, Mamdani, and the Munich Meltdown

Jim Talent on why a U.S. strike on Iran is closer than most want to admit — and who Trump is actually talking to when he issues ultimatums. Plus the Munich embarrassment, Democratic pension raids in New York and Washington state, and the Colbert equal-time stunt that CBS itself called a lie.
