Trump may have had more support for war in Iran if he took a cue from history
The current combat in Iran has the least early support of any American military action in modern time. Had the current administration taken a cue from history, the numbers quite possibly might be different. “The numbers are astonishing,” said C. William Walldorf Jr., a Wake Forest University political scientist and author of the 2019 book To Shape Our World for Good: Master Narratives and Forceful Regime Change in United States Foreign Policy. “They’re bad because nobody knows what this war is about. And people don’t see its connection to any existential danger to the United States. All Trump had to do is explain what the threat was and he’d be in far better shape.”

Irans stranded sailors wait out the war in Sri Lanka amid US pressure
The sinking of an Iranian frigate and a leaked US cable have dragged the debt-burdened South Asian nation into a Middle Eastern conflict. Reassurances will do little to resolve Colombo's underlying bind, according to internaitonal affairs expert Neil DeVotta. "The last thing a bankrupt country wants is an impetuous US president lashing out at it," DeVotta said.

Trump’s war against Iran is uniquely unpopular among US military actions of the past century
When U.S. leaders get caught up in costly regime change wars that outrun national support, they tend to back down, often with far fewer political costs than if they'd continued their unpopular war, writes politics and international affairs expert Will Walldorf.

Want to lose weight and strengthen your bones? Wear this piece of clothing
So many current weight-loss aids, such as GLP-1 injectables, come with loss of muscle mass as a warned side effect. That’s a disadvantage, because over time, muscles help burn through calories as fuel even when the body is at rest. Also, lower muscle mass is related to problems like higher risk of falls and greater mortality risk as we get older. Exercise scientists and statisticians at North Carolina’s Wake Forest University may have identified one possible solution to all this.

Masicampo found that simply making a plan to complete a task can reduce cognitive interference.

The U.S. stopped minting pennies. Now the old ones are piling up.
For most people, it isn't worth taking $5 of pennies and feeding them into a Coin Star machine. "The money's not worth the time," said economics professor Robert Whaples. It’s illegal to melt pennies for the metal value, but that could change at some point, according to Whaples. The metal in most pennies is worth less than a penny, but if zinc values rise, there might be more push to change the law. For fun, people can determine the value of the metal in their coins by visiting the website Coinflation, he added.

The close race in the 26th State Senate District between Sen. Phil Berger Sr. and Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page the heavy attention given to the race has brought provisional ballots to the forefront, said politics expert John Dinan. “When an election is as close as this one — and how fitting is it that the marquee primary of this entire North Carolina election cycle is so close and the outcome still undetermined – the focus naturally turns to provisional ballots.”
