How Grimm is Staten Island's Future?
Trump's hometown wasn't kind to him last year. NY-5 (southeast Queens) gave Hillary an 85.7-12.7% rout. NY-07 (Lower East Side, Chinatown, Little Italy, Bushwhack in Brooklyn and Woohaven in Queens) gave her a 86.9-10.4% win over Trump. But that was nothing compared to NY-13 (Upper Manhattan) where Hillary took 92.3% of the vote to Trump's 5.4% or NY-15 (South Bronx) where Trump only got 4.9% of the vote. But there was one NYC district that Trump actually *won*. NY-11 is all of Staten Island-- which Trump won 95,612 (57.2%) to 67,561 (40.4%)-- and a chunk of south Brooklyn. Distri... more »

US and Mexico immigration: Portraits of Guatemalan refugees in limbo
Oscar Gil-Garcia, Assistant Professor, Binghamton University, State University of New York at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 2 hours ago
Pedro and family. Manuel Gil, CC BY Many of Guatemala’s refugees produced by its long civil war are still stateless today. The war lasted between 1954 and 1996 and inflicted significant harm, particularly on indigenous Mayans. The conflict prompted 200,000 Guatemalans to flee to Mexico, where up to 43,000 refugees established settlement camps. For more than a decade I have conducted research in La Gloria, Mexico, the largest of these settlements, near the border of Guatemala. Currently, due to strict naturalization laws, more than 27,000 Guatemalans throughout Mexico remain statele... more »

"The Risk..."
"Biology says that we are who we are from birth. That our DNA is set in stone. Unchangeable. Our DNA doesn't account for all of us though, we're human. Life changes us. We develop new traits. Become less territorial. We start competing. We learn from our mistakes. We face our greatest fears. For better or worse, we find ways to become more than our biology. The risk of course is that we can change too much to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Finding our way back can be difficult. There's no compass, no map. We just have to close our eyes, take a step, and hope to God w... more »
Is China About To Initiate A ‘Limited War’ Against India?
*Newsweek:** China Considering Military Action Against India: Report* Two combative articles published in China’s state-run Global Times newspaper have raised fears of military clashes in the disputed Doklam region that lies at the junction between China, Bhutan and India.

Leadership 2017 Candidate Rankings - August 6
I've thus far held off on doing candidate rankings for the federal NDP leadership campaign - and may not end up updating them weekly as I have in past campaigns. But for now, let's put together a first set - as always, intended to reflect my impressions as to the relative likelihood of each candidate winning the leadership election (and not my own preferences between them). I'll note as well that while the voting process is a new one for the NDP, the campaigns will need to consider how it will affect their choices as we approach the voting period. My suspicion is that most members ... more »
Who Will Take Deir Ezzor From ISIS? Who Always "Wins" Against ISIS?
* Of course, the Kurdish militias will be the party that take Deir Ezzor with the assistance of the US ! It's the most obvious answer given all that has gone on previously. * *"This leaves the SDF as the United States’ most likely ally in the battle for Deir Ezzor" * *Did anyone expect the US was going to side with any other party in the battle for Deir Ezzor?* *They weren't going to side with Syria and any of it's allies. So who else but the YPG/PKK/SDF would be chosen as ally to the US to "fight" ISIS. As if ISIS is anything but a US proxy, long aided by US and Israeli airpower....more »

Funny old statement from Roger Bolton on this week's *Feedback*: But first a political earthquake with devastating consequences: On August 15th 1947 British rule on the Indian sub-continent came to an end and it was partitioned into two countries: India, predominantly Hindu and Sikh, and Muslim Pakistan. Well, India is not "predominantly Hindu *and Sikh*". It's predominantly Hindu, yes, but Sikhs have always been a much smaller minority than Indian Muslims. The latest census shows that India is 80% Hindu, 13.4% Muslim and just 1.9% Sikh. A small point, but there you go!
