The Pendulum of Politics
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 hour ago
History tells us that politics is like a pendulum; it always seeks to find a balance by engineering an equal and opposite reaction to every political action. Those who take extreme political action today for usurping political power should do so with the knowledge that by the implacable law of nature an equally extreme reaction is bound to follow. Those who strike at Caesar are shown no mercy by Augustus when he arrives.

We stand for the people and we will still stand
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 1 hour ago
Gautama came in at an hour when Hinduism was at its worst state of decadence. The priesthood was involved in favoritism and guarding the great secrets, the mysteries of God, from the people thus keeping the masses in ignorance. The caste system had become a means of imprisonment of the soul instead of a means of liberation through dharma….Jesus did exactly the same thing through the same power--the power of the eternal Christ. -Messenger ECP: *Inner Perspectives*, 32, 2003 ........................................................................................

What Hollywood Gets Wrong About Abortion
Stephanie Herold, Gretchen Sisson, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Stephanie Herold, Gretchen Sisson* *Health, The Americas* Hollywood tends to dramatically exaggerate the medical risks associated with abortion while downplaying real barriers to access. According to decades of research, abortion is an incredibly common and safe medical procedure. But if you learned about abortion only from movies and TV, that’s not the story you’d see. For the last eight years, we’ve been studying onscreen depictions of abortion. We’ve found that Hollywood tends to dramatically exaggerate the medical risks associated with abortion while downplaying real barrie...
Are the DC Capitol Police Over-Funded?
Chris Edwards, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Chris Edwards* *Criminal Justice System, The Americas* The Capitol Police certainly has enough funding to be prepared. The force has 2,300 officers and a $516 million budget to defend two square miles. The attack on Capitol Hill yesterday was disgraceful. It was also remarkable. After all the security breaches at both the congressional complex and White House over the years, and the many large protests in the city, you would think that the Capitol Police would have been better prepared.

Previous Disasters Provide Important Lessons for Central America’s Recovery from Hurricanes
Shelly Culbertson, Ismael Arciniegas Rueda, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Shelly Culbertson, Ismael Arciniegas Rueda* *Security, Americas* President-elect Joe Biden has made a commitment to increasing aid to Central America and addressing the root causes of instability in the region. The 2020 hurricane season has only added urgency to this need. In November, two devastating storms hit Central America in a space of two weeks. Hurricanes Eta and Iota pummeled Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala where winds, rain, and flooding caused significant destruction. The effects of these hurricanes may well rank as among the worst in the region’s history. Hurrican...
The Ethno-Territorial Separation of Bosnia Was the Key to Ending the War and Keeping Peace

As befits a successful peace agreement, the November 1995 Dayton accords that ended the Bosnian war were marked on their twenty-fifth anniversary with a flurry of international conferences. Oddly enough, even though a general acknowledgment that the accords have kept the peace, most recommendations call for radically “revising Dayton,” on the grounds that Bosnia’s institutions are too cumbersome, prone to corruption and politically unfair to minorities.

Because the election was close, fair‐​minded persons acknowledge that President Trump had every legal right to investigate possible irregularities. If he uncovered significant fraud, he would and should have taken appropriate steps to challenge the outcome. But the President and his surrogates opted instead to fabricate claims that he had already won the election, the process was...
Looming Cuts to School Budgets Will Hurt Long After Pandemic Ends
Michael Addoniz, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Michael Addoniz* *Education, The Americas* U.S. public schools are decentralized – there are 50 state systems and the District of Columbia. This limits the role of the federal government. Still, Washington can help. The year 2020 may prove to be pivotal in the history of U.S. public education. Many children have gone missing from school completely since March, and millions more are struggling with wholly inadequate online learning experiences. Lower-income and minority children are particularly hard-hit. The pandemic has exposed and exacerbated deep inequities across our public...

The Bounds of Political Discourse: Why the Trump Bans Make Sense
Frank Pasquale, Balkinization - 4 hours ago
Several technology firms have recently banned Donald Trump for inciting a riotous, deadly insurrection. Many have criticized these decisions as censorship. Experts on free expression law have patiently explained that only the state is bound by the First Amendment, not private companies. From this perspective, the public/private distinction is paramount, and tech firms fall on the right side of it, as speakers themselves (rather than regulators of speech). But what if it is precisely the public character of key technology firms--their critical role in shaping our political discours...

*Deborah Whitehead* *Politics, The Americas* Commentators have attributed Pence’s steadiness to his Hoosier roots and his “savvy political operator” skills.
