The two nominations for President Donald Trump for the Nobel peace prize – for brokering deals in the Middle East and the Balkans – has prompted the Atlantic to call to cancel the award, sparking pushback from conservatives. “End the Nobel Peace Prize,” the Atlantic declared in a headline Friday. The award’s past winners have a “spotty” record of achievement, the leftist media outlet said, as many were honored for making efforts at peace that never came to fruition. Trump’s nomination was apparently the last straw for the Atlantic, which said it “shows that peace had its chance and blew it.” […]

They had requested a continuance because they want to appear in open court in Georgia and the virus situation there is still too out of control to safely allow it. Steve Kelly has now served almost 29 months in county jails since the action in April 2018 so has already met the guidelines for his likely sentence. The court may not want to grant him further extensions. (You can send a postcard […]
HONG KONG—July has been a month of constant struggle for this city in recent years, but especially since the protests last summer, which raised the stakes in the quest for universal suffrage. This year is even more chaotic: A third wave of COVID-19 infections has revived worries that Hong Kong, one of the densest cities in the world, may soon see an overwhelmed hospital system. Meanwhile, some of the pro-democracy movement’s organizers, still in their teens, have been targeted by the newly formed secret police, taken away in the night. And now, in truly Trumpian fashion, September’s election for legislators’ seats […]

John Bolton’s explosive forthcoming memoir presents a myriad of glimpses, including gossipy ones, of both President Trump’s personal life, the White House inner circle, and his foreign policy take on key developments over the past few years. President Donald Trump postponed taking the United States out of the Iran deal, the landmark JCPOA accord, so Melania could announce her Be Best initiative, former White House national security adviser John Bolton claims in his soon-to-be-published book “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir”, as cited by the Daily Mail. The memoir suggests that the president planned to announce the US withdrawal from the 2015 Iran […]
President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, on Tuesday refused to commit to the pandemic-besieged United States holding the 2020 presidential election on its designated day, November 3. Kushner, whose father-in-law’s approval rating has been trailing presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s amid the COVID-19 pandemic that so far has killed more than 82,000 Americans, raised the possibility of a Trump-orchestrated delay in answer to Time magazine White House correspondent Brian Bennett. Bennett asked during the live-streamed interview: “Is there any scenario, including a second outbreak in the fall, where the election is moved past November 3rd?” “That’s too far in the future […]
