  • Trump: Obama Vacationing Instead of Running ISIS

    NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—President Obama is vacationing on Martha's Vineyard when he should be hard at work running ISIS, Donald Trump charged on Thursday.

    こういう批判が出てもおかしくないおかしくない。休みを返上して執務にあたったことも過去にあり、今は、休んでいられるという判断をしたのは如何なものかと思う。米国はシリアに直に関わっていないけど、問題でしょ

    Because we do not generally associate the Russian political class with understatement, it was easy to miss Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov’s observation, this week, that things in North Korea could potentially “descend into the spiral of a vicious cycle.” If the Russians—who have vastly more knowledge of the new North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, than we do—are concerned that things are about to
