Desperate Move: Routh Tries to Stab Himself
In a shocking courtroom spectacle, Ryan Wesley Routh, the man who infamously attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, descended into chaos immediately after a swift jury verdict found him guilty on multiple charges, including assaulting a Secret Service agent. Just two and a half hours after deliberations—a timeframe almost as brief as a quick lunch—Routh plunged into a desperate act, trying to stab himself in the neck with a pen, clearly unraveling in the aftermath of his damning conviction. Witnesses recounted the harrowing scene as marshals swiftly subdued him, shackling the would-be assassin in a display of stark reality for anyone entranced by the delusions of grandeur. His bizarre defense now stands overshadowed by the grim certainty of life imprisonment looming ahead, highlighting the perilous intersection of political fanaticism and personal instability as Routh faces the consequences of his reckless actions against a president who continues to ignite passion and provoke fear among his detractors.

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905)June 21, 2026
Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, and novelist who became the foremost exponent of existentialism in the 20th century. His first novel, Nausea, was one of many works depicting man as a lonely being burdened with a terrifying freedom. He served in World War II, was taken prisoner, escaped, and was involved in the French resistance, during which he wrote multiple works. In 1964, he became the first person to voluntarily decline the Nobel Prize in Literature. Why did he refuse it?

Long before a national holiday was established, this day of the year had been observed by Canada's Inuit, Métis, and First Nations peoples as a celebration of Aboriginal heritage. In 1996, the Canadian government made June 21 an official holiday, including all citizens in the observance. Celebrations take place throughout Canada, and are organized by the regional offices of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Canadian Heritage. Some festivities are modest celebrations; others exhibit a stronger focus on culture and tradition by holding canoe races, powwows, and awareness events.

CigarsJune 21, 2026
Cigars, tightly rolled bundles of cured tobacco, were being smoked by the Mayans as early as the 10th century. Spanish travelers to the Americas brought cigars back to Spain in the 16th century, and their popularity then spread throughout Europe. The word cigar, therefore, derives from the Mayan word for tobacco. What did US President John F. Kennedy reportedly do immediately before imposing the Cuban trade embargo that, among other things, prohibits US residents from purchasing Cuban cigars?
