NETANYAHU FAILS… SECURITY DAMAGE
Opposition leader Yair Lapid sharply criticized on Wednesday the ceasefire with Iran announced earlier in the day, calling it a failure of political and strategic leadership and warning of long-term consequences for Israel’s security.
“There has never been such a political disaster in all of our history,” Lapid wrote in a statement, arguing that “Israel wasn’t even part of the discussions when decisions were made concerning our national security.”
He added that while “the military carried out everything that was asked of it” and “the public demonstrated amazing resilience,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “failed politically, failed strategically, and didn’t meet a single one of the goals that he himself set.”
Israel’s ceasefire with Iran is already detonating at home: Opposition leader Yair Lapid blasted the deal Wednesday as a “political disaster,” accusing Netanyahu of failing “politically” and “strategically” while warning the damage could take years to repair. Lapid said Israel was left out of the decision-making on its own security, even as the military and public held firm. On the right, far-right MK Zvika Fogel piled on after Trump announced the truce, taunting the president on X in a furious swipe that underscored how explosive — and divisive — the ceasefire has become.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

It was there that the conventions were held to declare West Virginia's independence from Virginia.

Black TeaJune 20, 2026
Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
