A debate clip showing Ossoff attacking Perdue over his response to the COVID-19 pandemic and allegations of insider trading quickly went viral, gathering millions of views on social media. “As lovely as another debating listening to Jon Ossoff lie to the people of Georgia sounds, Sen.

Paul Broun, who previously served in the House of Representatives for Georgia’s 10th district from 2007 to 2015, posted a video announcing the giveaway in early April. The former congressman argued that such a weapon was especially necessary amid the coronavirus pandemic. “In uncertain times like these, the right to defend yourself and your property and your family could not be more important,” Broun, 73, said in the clip. He referred to the weapon as a “liberty machine....

This wasn’t just any piñata — it was made to look like COVID-19, the scientific structure of the virus itself. And what do you do with a piñata?...

Probably not his all-but-certain successor, Gordon Brown, at least not soon. The searing experience of Iraq has left Britain mired in cynicism about government, and Brown will have his hands full trying to repair the damage.

Italy’s Romano Prodi and Spain’s José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero are middleweight powers, sidelined by their own problems at home....
