Tennis Was Supposed to Get Boring. Nobody Told Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. - WSJ
How close was Sinner to winning Sunday? Let me put it this way: with three match points in the fourth set, I was so certain he was going to do it, I began pestering my Paris-side Journal colleague Joshua Robinson over whether or not Sinner now had a shot at next winning Wimbledon—and the U.S. Open—to complete a calendar Grand Slam, becoming the first since Rocket Rod Laver to achieve that crazytown feat.
After winning at Roland-Garros, Sinner, his game soaring, would roll into Wimbledon with maximum confidence…and he’d won the U.S. Open final just last year…
Then Alcaraz woke up.

The Pentagon Disinformation That Fueled America’s UFO Mythology - WSJ
But the colonel was on a mission—of disinformation. The photos were doctored, the now-retired officer confessed to the Pentagon investigators in 2023. The whole exercise was a ruse to protect what was really going on at Area 51: The Air Force was using the site to develop top-secret stealth fighters, viewed as a critical edge against the Soviet Union. Military leaders were worried that the programs might get exposed if locals somehow glimpsed a test flight of, say, the F-117 stealth fighter, an aircraft that truly did look out of this world. Better that they believe it came from Andromeda.

Trump Orders Investigation of Biden and His Aides - The New York Times
President Trump ordered his White House counsel and the attorney general on Wednesday to investigate former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his staff in Mr. Trump’s latest attempt to stoke outlandish conspiracy theories about his predecessor.
Trump plays the opening move. It’ll be a long chess match. And, the New York Times is wrong. Something very bad was happening in the White House during the last few months of the Biden Presidency. It’s time for a full accounting.

How Joe Biden Handed the Presidency to Donald Trump | The New Yorker
“We got so screwed by Biden, as a party,” David Plouffe, who helped run the Harris campaign, told us. Plouffe had served as Senator Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign manager in 2008 and as a senior adviser to President Obama before largely retiring from politics in 2013. After Biden dropped out of the race, on July 21, 2024, Plouffe was drafted to help Harris in what he saw as a “rescue mission.” Harris, he said, was a “great soldier,” but the compressed hundred-and-seven-day race was “a fucking nightmare.”
The role of Hollywood elites in the Biden campaign —
Biden did, in 2020, and in the process Katzenberg became more than a donor. As 2024 approached, he saw Biden’s communication struggles and thought he could help fix them. He worked on providing better lighting for Biden and trying to find a microphone that would amplify Biden when he would break into a whisper for emphasis. Katzenberg also recruited his friend Steven Spielberg, who helped coach Biden for the State of the Union and his debates, even assisting with routine campaign videos. There was, however, only so much that Hollywood magic could do.
It was Clooney who started the process to get Biden out —
This was too much for Clooney. He reached out to Obama to tell him that he was considering writing an op-ed to call for Biden to drop out. Obama advised that doing so would only make Biden dig in deeper.
In his home office in the South of France, Clooney sat down at his laptop. “I love Joe Biden,” Clooney wrote. “As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced.”
Clooney sums it up —
Also, he acknowledged, lies serve as an important reminder for anyone in the audience upset about the current state of affairs. Democrats deceived the country about Biden’s abilities and, Clooney said, “that’s how Trump won.”
