When Congress becomes a circus

I know a thing or two about the intoxication of instant fame. When then-President Donald Trump blocked me on Twitter a few years ago - I am a survivor of stage 4 cancer who had posted a comment criticizing his latest health care plan - it briefly became an international story.

Biden attacks crime the smart way

Donald Trump responded to rising crime by taunting Democratic mayors and vilifying undocumented immigrants. Those on the far-left respond to it by amplifying calls to defund or even dismantle police departments, on the errant belief that social programs are the best short-term way to stop bullets flying.

Delta variant adds urgency to nations' COVID response

Over the weekend, Sydney was put under a mandatory stay-at-home order for two weeks in response to the risk posed by the Delta variant of COVID-19.

Ban on importing dogs from 113 countries is necessary but should be temporary

Beijing is learning how capitalists react to oppression

Companies are leaving Hong Kong now that China has ramped up its oppression. Go figure.
