Chinese Missiles, Political Race, and Cold Beer
*Racial Issues and Democrats* The Democrat Party is obsessed with race and it's odd that they would tout Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as African American. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan is Indian by nationality (now a naturalized US Citizen) and Indian by ethnicity. Her father, Donald Harris, is a mixed race Jamaican with some African lineage. It's not a "birther issue". The Democrats make race a key issue in all politics with the hope of wooing African American voters. So is she Indian, white, or can she claim a smattering of African blood as she makes it all about race? She was marri...more »

Commentaries, Analysis, And Editorials -- July 3, 2019
*Hans Spross, DW:* *Iran violates nuclear deal — what comes next?* Although Iran has increased its uranium stockpile, experts say Tehran is still a long way from a nuclear weapon. However, more uranium enrichment risks EU and UN sanctions, and renewed tension between Iran and the world. On Monday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran had exceeded the amount of low-enriched uranium the country is allowed to possess under the 2015 nuclear accord, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). In May 2018, the US pulled out of the international nuclear d... more »
