On the above-the-fold front page of The New York Times, one story stands out.
Do you see it? When you see it, you will know. It may take a little while, and you will not need to say "Is it 'Republicans Brace for Brutal Midterms'? Or whatever. You will, I think, laugh. Because of course....

OK, it's early, but I'll go with (1) the cheetahs, or (2) the jerseys...
Ya, cheetahs. They always make me hopeful. Every time. Especially while dodging bullets from my government.
How about coyotes
Cheetahs.
The "Disappointed Trump Voters" is a daily feature, no?
There is no real news just wishcasting
As if they would know any trump voters
You might think a gunman running wild at the WHCD is more newsworthy than a cheetah in Iran, but that's why you're sitting at home sipping coffee rather than managing the front page of the NYT.
All bad news, all the time, if you're Trump and you're not working out in the park. King Charles visits, but it'll be a bad visit because they're mad at Trump and Republicans are going to get pasted in the mid-terms, according to a dozen dissatisfied voters who absolutely voted for Trump, while paying more for their gasoline and watching all of the natural gas go to somebody else overseas while oil companies got rich. And the cheetahs would be doing OK now, but Trump started a war and now they're suffering. He probably designed those uniform jerseys, too, after he made the roads more dangerous.
I agree narciso, the whole page is wiskcasting. Does anyone think a small UK agency is doing anything to help ships in the Strait of Hormuz? It can’t do anymore than a Canadian suicide prevention helpline. Sure, see a Cheetah and have hope that it might not be hungry enough to see you as prey.
For the good of the world, the US needs to produce and export more natural gas. More fracking! More pipelines!
What struck me was how the image which went with the work out in the park story, was right above a story about a highway, using the phrase, "tight curves".
After Iran surrenders, Trump’s popularity soars.
She's bracing herself on the park bench for midriff, and yes, I noticed the 'tight curves' story. The cheetah is offering up some spots, too. Somebody is bored at the NYT
…thankful Ann’s course moment is as elusive to others…It’s really the Republicans Are In Trouble story that’s the of course for me- perfectly timed every election year, not to report the facts but to motivate lefties with a bit of hope. The D+3 generic vote is tragic for Democrats, even CNN admitted a few weeks ago. I figured the airline strike and astroturf riots would be ramping in NYT up by now but perhaps we’re a week it two away…
Conspicuous by its absence?
Kinda looks like Althouse as one of the 12 disappointed Trump voters.
The torygraph is just as bad
If this was 1856, the uk would be a colony of iran
…Democrats are the ones who killed the NatGas industry in the US, btw. They munchausened that crisis into existence…
Headline: “The World Needs Natural Gas Now, but the U.S. is Exporting All It Can” makes zero sense.
'The food is terrible, but at least the portions are large...'
…shouldn’t NYT be more concerned about the Louisiana decision coming in a few weeks…or at least the signs the decision has leaked in a few weeks…
Yes the Pinafore agency doesnt impress
I almost want to grab a hard copy of the paper for the Highway 1 story. Almost.
We've been to the southern terminus of US1 already, and want to see its northern terminus in Fort Kent, Maine soon. That will check off one of the five US states we haven't visited yet, and as a bonus, another Canadian province. New Brunswick is just over the bridge.
Cheetah are not Panthera. They are Acinonyx.
Your Cat Fact Of The Day.
At the lower right: y'know, everybody is in some way less than fully satisfied about DJT as President. It is just blatant political nastiness to spill ink celebrating the particular petty peeves of a small handfull of nobodies.
“Do ya feel cheetahed?!”
Democrats as Coyote. Trump as teh Roadrunner.
“It’s all wisk casting.”
Whisk casting ingredients for a really bad cake we’re all going to leave out in the rain.
Yes qatar did take a hit, thats going to make it hard for their soccer franchises to make payroll
Cheetahs offer rare spots — is that clever writing?

"..Headline: “The World Needs Natural Gas Now, but the U.S. is Exporting All It Can” makes zero.."
every war since i was in junior high was "explained" to be
ALL ABOUT OIL
finally, we have a President that IS fighting for oil,
and the media pretends it's not happening.
America now CONTROLS most of the oil in the world
get used to it
Iswdt
Economics history zoology what else dont they know
I figured the interesting thing was visual, the gigantic "projection" extending at a 45 degree angle upwards from DJT's loins. Subconscious NYT envy??
He's no longer descending with his penthouse pet on the golden escalator. It's just a sad lonely walk up the stairs by himself.
After Iran surrenders, Trump’s popularity soars.
Says the man who said the war would end April 1. And that we should be well into the second year of the Ramaswamy Administration by now.
Not understanding siege warfare
It reminded me of Biden face planting repeatedly on the stairs.
Losing to the stairs
As God is my witness, I thought cheetahs were in Africa.
Haven't looked at comments, but it's got to be Cheetas.
“ He's no longer descending with his penthouse pet on the golden escalator. It's just a sad lonely walk up the stairs by himself.”
Donald Trump ascending.
There he goes, pretending he’s Jesus again.
“Not understanding siege warfare”
Among other things…

"Trump is Dissatisfied with Iran's Plan to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz."
Well, that's one way to put it.
How about "Iran Proposes More Bullshit About 'Opening the Strait of Hormuz;' 'No Nukes or No Deal' says Trump."
Too cute by half, maybe, but otherwise lazy headline
Spots aren’t rare in the animal world.
Spots, likewise, just “are” in geography. It’s the observers that are rare.
A spotless cheetah would be kind of rare, tho. Might depend on the spot it was spotted. Probably moreso Acinonyx Jubatus Venaticus is insignificantly more likely to be spotless than Acinonyx Jubatus Jubatus. Venaticus is the Asian sub-species found in Iran, so while rare, not the rarest.
There is Hope!
(Hope is not rare. It’s something 75% of the Iranian people currently embrace)
I noticed "The World Needs Natural Gas Now, but the US is Exporting All it Can." They could have used "and" rather than "but," but they need to give the story a negative spin.
It may be a while before we find out the extent of the administration's inexpertise. Take your time. The US declines; China rises. Iran endures. No hurry here.
Regime change in Iran was always a simplistic delusion. Netanyahu has led Israel up into the box canyon of all time. The Americans are going to go home; just like in Saigon in 1975.
It might be a gene thing
Say no to the vile, snake-in-the-grass Democrats and YES!!! to Team Humanity!
like in Saigon in 1975
Pure projection. That happened in 2021, in Afghanistan, with the locals desperately trying to hang on to departing aircraft.
Eff off, tinyEE.
We’ve got gas and we’re giving it to everyone else. Ewww.
Wars come to an end when one side wins or when both sides are exhausted. Or when Donald Trump announces they have ended. Eight so far and counting.
Remember, it's not a "forever war," it's an "as long as it takes war."

It isn't Iran we are negotiating with. They are all already dead.
China also already surrendered.
It is Europe, WEF, and the Democrat party we are negotiating with now.
After trying to kill Trump for the 3rd time democrats have zero chance in the midterms btw. No actual voter like you fascist violent disgusting pieces of shit.
Hakeem Jeffries wants to be speaker and is out there saying Maximum War so he can be president by getting the 2 people in front of him killed.
I hope you people keep it up.

LOL.
How is the US declining? Our economy is being flooded with dollars from Europe and China buying oil from us.
You just don't understand the words you are being fed by you WEF masters. You are a retard and everyone just laughs at you.

Expert testimony from our resident inexpertise expert.
"Hello, guys. We just wanted to let you know that we are currently in a state of collapse. Just FYI."
GMAFB
Iran has just informed us that they are in a “State of Collapse.” They want us to “Open the Hormuz Strait,” as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!). Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
The cheetah headline is a typo- it was supposed to be "Cheetos".
Trump demands the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the firing of Jimmy Kimmel, the construction of the Ballroom, and the Arch to celebrate his total victory over Iran.
"vile, snake-in-the-grass Democrats"
Pro-Choice. Gender corruption therapy. Reproductive rites. Human rites follow a progressive path with liberal license.

"Cheetahs offer rare spots." If nobody catches the word play aren't you, in effect, word playing with yourself.......My life hasn't changed dramatically, pro or con, since our withdrawal from Afghanistan. I think the losers in Afghanistan were the women in Afghanistan.......In Vietnam, something like a million citizens were arrested and sent to "reeducation" centers after the North Viet Commies took over. Several million South Vietnamese had to flee their country. This includes most of the ethnic Chinese who had been living there for centuries. If it hadn't been done by Commies, it would be considered ethnic cleansing. Bruce Springsteen wrote several songs protesting their treatment--never. Anyway, I wouldn't describe the USA as the biggest losers in Vietnam. That was the people in Vietnam. The big winners were Jane Fonda and Abby Hoffman.
Since 1979. Here's to Trump aborting a Farsi burden, sequestering the carbon, and mitigating climate change.
a small edit from history, informed by lived experience:
In Atlanta, Cheetah Sightings Offer Signs Of Hope Amid War
IYKYK...
Spots as in comic, dramatic routines.
In other news, guardians are concerned that with global warming, predators will cheat and progress to cooler climes where viable prey will be unburdened of their choices.
You're supposed to be reading it so we don't have to. You're not supposed to be trying to trick us into reading it ourselves. Bad Professor!
Achilles: “After trying to kill Trump for the 3rd time democrats have zero chance in the midterms btw.” Your optimism is great, but it may underestimate the amorality of rank and file Democrats and the stupidity of others who vote for Democrats.
Trump demands the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the firing of Jimmy Kimmel, the construction of the Ballroom, and the Arch to celebrate his total victory over Iran.
If things turn out well, which will be the case if they provide mass quantities of small arms to the Iranian people, the strait will open and Trump will deserve the arch.
The ballroom is obviously necessary no matter who is president, and Kimmel is an unfunny asshole who should have been fired years ago.
Uae exoanding their oil quota of production
Dig the lower right-hand corner. "Disappointed Trump voters" were mostly a myth last year. There are more of them this year. Possibly more by November?
Someone mistakenly placed the word "opinion" in the lower right corner. It should be up there at the top in olde English, right after the word "Times".
