The study closely analyzed the US government’s relations with its five treaty allies in the region: Australia, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand.

Gun Control is a Human Rights Issue
Sometimes great minds really *do* think alike. About a week ago, I began writing my autobiography and I mentioned My Lai a couple of times while writing about my childhood during the Vietnam War. I mentioned that the tide turned against the war when we began seeing the dead bodies of civilians, many of whom we'd killed, because it was the first war in which we got nightly accounts of our atrocities. If you want to turn the tide of opinion against the war, the people have to be shown the consequences of the actions, atrocities and war crimes done in their name. So I ... read more

Lurching from Crisis to Crisis
By 211 votes to 148, Boris Johnson has survived his long-promised no confidence vote. Speaking Monday afternoon, the ever-loyal Jacob Rees-Mogg said the Prime Minister would carry on even if the margin of victory was one vote. A margin of 63 then is more than enough. If we've learned anything about Johnson since he took office, he'll cling to power like a limpet. But this doesn't mean things won't stop getting more difficult. For six months, the polls have reported leads for Labour. Numbers reflecting the blight Johnson is inflicting on his party more than enthusiasm for whatever K... read more

An article in the *Wall Street Journal *was by someone excited to rent an electric car for a trip, only to find they spent more time charging it than sleeping. read more read more

Silence of Conservative Lambs
The 1991 blockbuster movie revolved around meek, silent victims preyed upon by malevolent believers in their warped, twisted view of the world. A comparison can be drawn between how today’s conservative thinkers and politicians respond to advocates of the pernicious global warming/climate change ideology. In stead of challenging and pushing back against CO2 hysteria, and […] read more

#SKNDPLDR Candidate Profile - Carla BeckOn paper, Carla Beck's track record covers nearly every group the NDP should be looking to attract into its fold. She's a well-respected veteran member of the Legislature, with prior experience as a school board trustee who can thus point to a history of collaborative government. And she can combine rural roots with a political base in one of the party's most important urban strongholds. Moreover, she was able to get organized from the outset of the NDP's leadership campaign, resulting in only one challenger entering the field. And it's no surprise that a front-running campaign h... read more

And Kaitlyn Harvey has taken up that mantle with at least some success so far. It helps that Harvey has a solid background for her campaign message, raising the prospect of representation for long-neglected groups (including a personal stake in the Saskatchewan Party's politics of neglect) combine... read more
