U.S. Courts Can't Solve All The World's Problems
*Ilya Shapiro* *Politics, Americas* Beyond the absence of an international norm, congressional action confirms that the Court should defer to Congress. Child slavery within the cocoa trade has earned global attention. Nestlé has condemned the practice and joined accords aimed at abolishing human trafficking in the region. Nonetheless, the chocolate company finds itself in a decade‐long lawsuit over the enslavement of Malians on Ivorian plantations on the basis of the corporation’s alleged purchase of cocoa from farms that used slaves.

Politicians certainly prefer to talk more in public about job numbers than GDP numbers. Of course, economic growth can drive job creation, and the lack of economic growth can doom a president.

Rudel’s journey to fulfill his dream would not be easy, ultimately earning him the highest decoration of any German serviceman in World War II. Adherin... more »
War Within NATO? Why Is Turkey Getting So Aggressive With Greece?

On Thursday, Israel reported 4,429 new cases of COVID-19 in their Netanyahu Pandemic. On Friday it was another 3,038 cases and yesterday 3,961 more, bring the country's total to a horrifying 152,525.
