Given what originally drove Donald Trump’s policy on Iran, it is not surprising that the policy has gone badly and is ending badly. The policy was shaped not by any calculation about what would best advance the causes of nuclear nonproliferation, de-escalati...

Would Student Loan Forgiveness Stimulate the Economy?
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *economy, Americas* The cost of higher education has increased over the past few decades, pushing America’s outstanding student loan debt balance to roughly $1.6 trillion with 45 million borrowers. President-elect Joe Biden called on Congress last week to “immediately” forgive the first $10,000 of anyone’s student loan debt amid the coronavirus pandemic that has left millions of Americans unemployed and swamped in bills. Biden’s higher education plans support the debt relief provision, as he also endorsed a House legislation that pushed for the same. “Immedia...

Guitar Center Makes Bankruptcy Filing Official
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *economy, Americas* Bankruptcy courts have even begun to fall behind due to the pandemic. In late October, it was widely reported that Guitar Center, the nation’s leading retailer of musical instruments, was possibly facing imminent bankruptcy. The cause of that was that the company was facing a cash crunch, brought about the coronavirus pandemic. Now, Guitar Center has made its Chapter 11 filing official. The company announced in a press release Monday that it has “taken the next step in implementing its financial restructuring plan (the “Plan”) by filing vol...

*Stephen Silver* *Technology, Americas* “The Mini is the perfect size.” Of Apple’s 2020 iPhone lineup, the smallest model is the iPhone 12 Mini, the first-ever iPhone to get the “Mini” title. The iPhone 12 Mini, starting at $699, features the OLED screen and the 5G capability of the other new iPhones, but is, of course, smaller, with a 5.4-inch screen. Some reviews have now appeared of the Mini, which praises the phone’s smaller size and design while noting that the battery life is somewhat subpar. Gizmodo’s review was published Friday and praised the “Perfect size, solid cam...

President-elect Joe Biden will find that North Korea’s strategic objective of regime survival remains unchanged from the days when he was Vice-President.

So what, precisely, are we calling electoral fraud?
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 19 hours ago
I'm obliged to the American Spectator for breaking down the allegations of electoral fraud that the Trump campaign's lawyers are making, and what they encompass. The big picture is eye-opening, but when it's broken down into sub-sections, it's *astonishing* in the breadth of the conspiracy they're alleging. A major part of the problem is the sheer size, scope and scale of the fraud, if their allegations are correct. Will it be possible to get this through State and lower-level Federal courts, and into the hands of the Supreme Court, *in time to affect the results of the elect...

High Taxes Don't Always Mean High-Quality Government Services
Scott Lincicome, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Scott Lincicome* *Society, Americas* As a state increases taxes on high earner residents, it tends to lose them to other, lower‐tax states. As my Cato colleague Chris Edwards documented here a couple weeks ago, interstate migration data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that state tax policy affects where Americans, especially wealthy ones, are choosing to live and work. The following charts (roll over the dots to find your state) confirm Chris’ initial impressions: in 2018 there was a strong, statistically significant (p‐values < 0.01) relationship between (1) personal st...
