Why We Must Continue To Be Engaged In Afghanistan
*James Cunningham, National Interest:** I Was U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan. The Military Can't Fix This Mess Alone.* *There is no guarantee that America can “win” in Afghanistan, but it is quite clear that it can lose.* President Trump’s June 13 decision to delegate authorities on troop levels and operations in Afghanistan to Secretary of Defense James Mattis set the correct and essential condition for beginning to improve security and to enhance the prospects of success in Afghanistan.

Gender-Blind Recruitment Process Leads To More Men Being Hired
It's been shown that there is no hiring deficit for women in science; women have been hired far more than men for new jobs. Yet women's groups have continued to point to total numbers as the problem, as if to say older men who have been supportive of more diversity and are making it happen on hiring committees should be fired without cause to open up more jobs for women. Only the weakest candidate wants to be hired as part of a quota. There has to be a better way. read more

So Who Takes Over After Pelosi-- Hopefully, No One Being Talked About Inside The Beltway

David Hawkings floated a prototypical "fake news" story for *Roll Call* yesterday, Six Who Could Succeed Pelosi-- Someday.

What If North Korea Had Won the Korean War?
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* Preventing a Communist victory in Korea might have been the circuit breaker that stopped World War III. Would the Cold War have been hotter? Would fifty thousand American soldiers have lost their lives? Would today’s Americans worry that North Korean nukes will land on their heads? The problem with counterfactual history is that it’s often pointless to speculate or the speculation is crazy. But a North Korean victory was more than within the realm of possibility.

Two Dozen Democrats Join The House Republican Xenophobia Caucus
Yesterday, Bob Goodlatte's racist, xenophobic, Trumpist Kate's Law (H.R. 3004) passed the House. It should have been called O'Reilly's Law, since it was all his idea. In fact, the House passed two Trumpist garbage bills yesterday-- Kate's Law and Goodlatte's No Sanctuary for Criminals Act (H.R. 3003). The House passed two bills Thursday to boost President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. The bills-- "Kate’s Law" and the "No Sanctuary for Criminals Act"-- would up the penalties on undocumented immigrants who attempt to reenter the country illegally after being deported for ... more »

Bias by title
As noted on the open thread, the BBC News website has an article about "Anti-Islam campaigner" Anne Marie Waters's bid for the leadership of UKIP. Ms Waters is the founder of Sharia Watch. The most striking thing (for me) about the article by the BBC's Brian Wheeler is how Mr Wheeler uses people's titles. It's quite something. Mr Wheeler of the BBC repeatedly calls UKIP's Paul Nuttall "Mr Nuttall" and calls Ms Waters's critic councillor Allen Cowles "Mr Cowles". That's properly respectful. In contrast, however, Mr Wheeler calls Ms Waters "Waters" throughout, as if she were a cr... more »
