MORNING GLORY: Trump meets Putin amid an era done away with John Quincy Adams’ ‘abroad’

In a lengthy and beautifully crafted address on Independence Day, July 4, 1821, then-President John Quincy Adams delivered an extraordinarily detailed and learned lesson on the founding of America. It’s one that still deserves repeated and close reading — though much of it will simply not be understood by most Americans today, for it is dense in references to history no longer taught widely in the United States.  Adams’ most memorable sentences are often quoted: ‘[America]...

Trump goes after Zelenskyy over ‘land swapping’ dispute, lays out ‘feel out meeting’ with Putin

President Donald Trump took aim at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a press event on Monday over his frustration with the Ukrainian leader’s objection to ‘land swapping.’ ‘I get along with Zelenskyy, but, you know, I disagree with what he’s done, very, very severely, disagree.
