Tim and Mary take a look at the current news cycle in light of some of the more unusual stories of late.  The UN did something very unusual in passing a resolution favorable to Trump and his peace plan. The strangeness lies in creating a Peace Board with him at the head, and an international force in Gaza. They still don’t have any idea as to where a Palestinian state might end up, or who might be heading up this force, but details rarely matter anymore. We also look at the soon-to-conclude Climate Summit and find out what they are up to minus US support. We talk about those powerful data centers, and why people are starting to revolt over the cost to build and to run them. From the further Islamization of Texas to Ai toys for the holiday from China, again we have to wonder to ourselves not just why things are so strange of late, but can they get any stranger?
