If your blood doesn't run cold on reading this news, you don't understand the situation. The White House on Wednesday unveiled its plans to vaccinate children between the ages of 5 and 11 years old, pending authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the coming weeks.

Their True ColoursConservatives are arguing against a vaccine mandate for members of Parliament. Susan Delacourt writes: The federal Conservatives have picked a strange time to abandon populism. Who would have thought that COVID-19 vaccinations would turn some members of the opposition into unapologetic elitists, claiming their elected status exempts them from a duty to public health? This is the odd turn emerging in the debate over whether the House of Commons needs to be a mandatory-vaccination zone — an idea that keeps running into backlash from members of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition.

We assume that the world is orderly and things happen due to human planning and ingenuity, but history is often moved by human errors and by events hardly anyone in that age expected. In 1492, when Columbus departed on a voyage to discover the sea route to India, no one could have predicted that a navigational error would lead him to the island home of the Taíno in the Caribbean.

While the region has been a flashpoint for decades, Beijing’s ambitious agenda for reunification under President Xi Jinping has raised cross-strait tensions to levels not seen since the Taiwan Straits Crises of the 1950s.

The sad, self-deluded losers who'll stay in the race -- the Bill Welds and Joe Walshes of 2024 -- will be people like this guy: Is Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan [of Georgia] running for president?
