Never mind Iran, impeachment: Pay attention to Taiwan

Never mind Iran, impeachment: Pay attention to Taiwan

A dramatic election that produced a stunning victory for democracy got too little attention here last weekend, as Americans focused on Iran and impeachment.

Oscars are still so white. And male

Once upon a time in Hollywood, there was a slate of Oscar nominations populated by directors and performers of reasonably diverse ethnic backgrounds and genders. Alas, that was in 2018. And again in 2019.

Phase 2 of US-Iran conflict will take place in Iraq

Phase 2 of US-Iran conflict will take place in Iraq

Trump needs to be on a short leash as impeachment trial looms

Iran won't be satisfied by Iraq missile attacks

There's a temptation to characterize the Iranian missile attacks on an Iraqi base on Tuesday night as a letting off of steam by the Islamic Republic _ a shot across the American bow, after which the two sides can begin to parley.
