There were some confrontations between Left and Right – or, more accurately, antifa and white supremacists – at Berkeley in the past few days. As my Canadian friend (and Berkeley resident) Mike Brock wryly observed: “must be Saturday.” Anyway, the Berkeley street fights attracted cameras, which meant that those who

Will they be able to impeach before he starts wars in Syria, Afghanistan and North Korea?  That’s the only question. The official investigation into relations between Donald Trump and Russia now has “specific, concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion”, it has been reported.

…so he made another kind of bombshell, to distract. MOAB: Mislead, Obstruct, Antagonize, Baffle. CNN: Washington – The US military has dropped an enormous bomb in Afghanistan, according to four US military officials with direct knowledge of the mission.

Can you lose by winning? It’s not a riddle, it’s a fair question.  Surveying the wreckage that now litters the Conservative landscape, it’s a timely question, too. Because, make no mistake: the Conservatives’ leadership race has dramatically set back their party, perhaps for years to come.  Among other things, it

Krugman in the New York Times: The attack [on Syria] instantly transformed news coverage of the Trump administration. Suddenly stories about infighting and dysfunction were replaced with screaming headlines about the president’s toughness and footage of Tomahawk launches. But outside its effect on the news cycle, how much did the
