Housing crisis pitting us against each other
Housing crisis pitting us against each other
Growing up on housing subsidies for 20 years, I went through childhood conditioning myself to the idea that homeownership was simply a dream. A dream because, in my eyes, it was unattainable - not only because my mom had to continuously figure how to make ends meet, but also to survive, to build a life for us.

North Korea's strange military moves
North Korea's strange military moves
During the eighth congress of the ruling Workers' Party, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declared important development directions for the North Korean military. He made clear that his country would develop tactical nuclear weapons as well as a super-large nuclear warhead.

Was Brexit inevitable?
Was Brexit inevitable?
LONDON - On one level, the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union was an unintended consequence of a too-clever political ploy by former Prime Minister David Cameron. In 2015, in order to undercut the appeal of Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party movement, and secure a Conservative majority in the upcoming general election, Cameron promised a ref...

Controversy over anti-North Korean leaflets
Controversy over anti-North Korean leaflets
Controversy seems to be growing over the amendment to the Development of Inter-Korean Relations Act aimed at imposing a ban on floating anti-North Korea leaflets across the border since its unilateral passage by the National Assembly last December.

Capitol chaos chance for Beijing to show leadership
Capitol chaos chance for Beijing to show leadership
It's embarrassing. Like some televangelist preacher caught with his pants down at an out-of-town house-of-pleasure, America has been caught with its democracy down. Point one: a scary but also confused and confusing coup d'etat - another to come? Point two: A Republican president who should never have been president - a reality-show coup-leader-in-chief.

Capitol violence obscures big attack on US interests
Capitol violence obscures big attack on US interests
The siege of the U.S. Congress on Jan. 6 by what U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has called “domestic terrorists” has dominated media headlines since. Yet, this has obscured what may be an even more significant attack on U.S. interests: the recent major foreign cyberattacks by Russia.

Retrospection good for soul
Retrospection good for soul
Last year was unkind on all fronts: health, the economy, politics and climate change. Friends and families have suffered from COVID-19; many people have died. Our daily routines have been changed dramatically. Although I worship with my church family each week, we haven't been at the church for almost a year. Online services are better than nothing at all and at least we are ...

New US Agenda for Central America
New US Agenda for Central America
WASHINGTON, DC - Most undocumented migrants crossing the United States' southern border come from three small countries: El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Known collectively as Central America's “Northern Triangle,” these countries will receive an outsized amount of attention from U.S. President-elect Joe Biden's incoming administration.

Capitol Hill and 'production' of crowd
Capitol Hill and 'production' of crowd
On Jan. 6, a crowd of Donald Trump supporters illegally captured the Capitol and temporarily stalled the democratic process. It apparently shocked many people that this happened to the U.S. To comprehend what happened and what has been happening, it is pertinent to note at the outset what it was not.

Our democracy pushed to the brink
Our democracy pushed to the brink
The madness and treason that's consumed the Party of Trump has a face: And it belongs to a former Pennsylvania state lawmaker. On Jan. 6, on a day that thugs and domestic terrorists bent on overthrowing the results of a lawful election stormed the United States Capitol with laughable ease, Rick Saccone, who once swore an oath to uphold the law and the constitution, tried to j...
