Trump pivoted sharply over the weekend to calling for other countries to join the fray to reopen the strait - a possibility seen in those capitals as ranging from questionable to fanciful. From his Florida golf course, Trump sent a string of mixed messages on social media, calling for support in a war he's said repeatedly he's won, and for help in a strait his administration has insisted remains open. He claimed Saturday that Iran wanted a deal, which Iran dismissed.

text from Marcus J. Borg's book The Last Week: Mark tells us that Jesus was crucified between two "bandits." The Greek word translated "bandits" is commonly used for guerilla fighters against Rome, who were either "terrorists" of "freedom fighters," depending upon one's point of view. Their presence in the story reminds us that crucifixion was used specifically for people who systematically refused to accept Roman imperial authority. Ordinary criminals were not crucified. Jesus is executed as a rebel against Rome between two other rebels against Rome. The common impression that they were "robbers" rather than insurrectionists is based upon Luke's story of the dialogue between Jesus and "the repentant thief," which ends with Jesus saying, "Today you will be with me in Paradise" (23:39-43). But in Mark there is no such dialogue. Indeed, we are told that "those who were crucified with him also taunted him" (15:32)
