NATO Takes Another Beating as EU Adopts Controversial Paper Which Undermines ItA sort-of EU army is in the making, or at least on paper in Brussels. It’s radical in that it would probably not involve Germany so therefore leaving France at the helm. But who’s going to pay for it? At the end of November, a draft proposal which sketched out a plan for an EU … Continue reading NATO Takes Another Beating as EU Adopts Controversial Paper Which Undermines It → read more

However, the fear created during this pandemic is completely disproportionate and irrational (2). The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemonium is associated with highly significant levels of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic s... read more

Perdue is already making the race about "election integrity." From his campaign announcement: “Look, I like Brian. This isn’t personal; it’s simple.
