Meet the New Left Challengers ...
... Same as the Old Left Challengers? It was inevitable some of the left were going to decamp from the Labour Party with Keir Starmer's election as leader. But to do what? That was always the interesting question, and now it has a clear answer. Since Corbynism's defeat and the tightening of thumb screws on the left who've remained, several new left parties have come into existence. The best known and attracting the lion's share of media interest is the Northern Independence Party, but it is far from alone. The Breakthrough Party, self-identifying as a youth-led democratic socialist ... read more

NC: Further Suppressing Education
North Carolina has not been a great state for education for many years, and as the fight over all the things lumped under the banner of "critical race theory" has heated up, they've been doing their part to fan the flames. Lt. Governor Mark Robinson set up a website to collect reports of naughty indoctrinatin' going on, then issued a report that seemed more interested in buttressing a pre-selected agenda than taking a look at what they had actually collected. Bad stuff, the task force alleged, was rampant out there. So the Johnston County Board of Commissioners decided to take act... read more

*Keith Krach, David Stilwell* *China, Asia* We must never forget that the only way for globalization to bring the peace and prosperity envisioned by Tom Friedman in The World is Flat is to have a level playing field for all.

America Lost Afghanistan: Is Iraq Next?
