Democrats, the Party’s position on Israel has to change
Israel has become a pariah in American politics due to the atrocities occurring during its military campaign in the Gaza Strip. In response, American political activism in support of the Palestinian people has erupted on college campuses as students watch a very public brutal military campaign unfold. The facts are stark and clear: The Israel Defense Forces’ own data reported a staggering 83% civilian casualty rate while trying to eradicate the terrorist group Hamas.
The nuclear problem
At the end of the 1980s, one of the most influential American cartoons aired for the first time: “The Simpsons”. Homer Simpson, the American everyman, works as a nuclear technician at the iconic Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, whose two nuclear cooling towers are always visible in the memorable intro of the classic cartoon. That’s the dream I want to realize in America’s immediate future.

America: A nation of inaction and decline
Out of all the U.S. states, one is remarkably beautiful and incredibly poor: West Virginia. West Virginia’s economic struggles serve as a microcosm of the nation’s issues with the distribution and proper investment of the state’s wealth; a proverbial canary in the coal mine. West Virginia is well known for its coal and, more recently, natural gas extraction. The economic output of the fossil fuel industry has been a vital component of the statewide economy since the 19th century.

How the Constitution’s 25th Amendment helped the nation move beyond Watergate Original
Fifty years ago this week, Richard Nixon resigned from the presidency, and it might not have happened—at least not when it did—without the Constitution’s 25th Amendment and its vice presidential replacement procedure. That procedure allowed Nixon to appoint fellow Republican Gerald Ford to fill a vacancy in the vice presidency eight months prior.
NY Gubernatorial Absence Provision Is Obsolete And Harmful
ADVERTISEMENT Don't want ads? Subscribe or login now. By Liam Turner and John Rogan (March 11, 2024, 4:32 PM EDT) -- The New York Constitution has a case of appendicitis: Just as appendicitis is caused by a useless body part gone septic, the provision of New York's Constitution that takes power away from the governor whenever they leave the state serves no real purpose, and can only do harm....
When are lawmakers incapacitated, and what can we do about it?
It is becoming a familiar pattern: a member of Congress experiences a health scare followed by demands for his or her resignation — which the lawmaker typically rejects. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) batted away pressure to step down recently after he froze at a press conference for the second time this year.
How to Address Mass Congressional Incapacitations
A recent string of health incidents involving members of Congress has raised questions about what to do when lawmakers are incapacitated. Sens. Dianne Feinstein, John Fetterman, and Mitch McConnell all spent significant time away from the Capitol earlier this year due to health challenges. And these episodes have occurred as the average age of Congress is increasing steadily, making it likely that lawmakers’ health will continue to be an issue.
Why the Jan. 6 Committee Must Reinforce the 25th Amendment
When the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol reconvenes this fall, it’s widely expected that the 25th Amendment will be a topic of interest.

Perspective | Invoking the 25th Amendment should be as routine as a colonoscopy
correction A previous version of this article misstated the year President George H.W. Bush took office. It was 1989, not 1992. The article has been corrected. Vice President Harris was spared from having to confront any crises that demanded immediate attention during her brief but historic tenure as acting president on Friday morning.
Iraqi heroes confronting COVID-19 in Diyala and Kirkuk
Dr. Ali Abdullah Abbas, 30, is a Senior Resident physician in Baquba General Hospital in Diyala. Nurses walk quickly around the wards; patient monitors beep in the distance, doctors assess their patients in intensive care rooms — it’s just another day for frontline health workers in Iraq. In Diyala and Kirkuk — and indeed across the entire country — the speed and frequency of this routine has intensified with the continued rise of COVID-19.

Keir Starmer, Trotskyism and Pabloism.
Deep Entrist or Deep Centrist? Was Keir Starmer a Trotskyist? Or a follower of Michel Pablo and therefore a “Pabloite”? Is there a difference? Indeed, who was this “Michel Pablo” and what on earth is “Pabloism”? Does anyone care? Well, some people do, including the Mail on Sunday who referred to the Labour leadership favourite as a “Posh Trot” in an attempt to expose his “radical past”. Now, let me try and answer some of the questions I put above. Who was Michel Pablo? Pablo.

Let’s remember the “Stop the War Coalition” and Kobane.
(Or why we shouldn’t defend Stop the War.) John Rees (Stop the War Coalition) October 2014 “Arm the Kurds” In late 2014, the Kurds and their allies in Kobane were in serious threat of being overrun by Isis. For many years previously, it had been very easy for the “anti-imperialist” Left (e.g. Corbyn, StWC etc) to back the Kurds as they had been oppressed by fellow Nato member Turkey. Now, it was a new ball game.
The forthcoming Boris Johnson-Jeremy Corbyn Brexit Deal.
Johnson and Corbyn. As we head towards the next Brexit deadline (31 October), the UK has three options — No Deal Brexit (aka WTO Brexit), Withdrawal Agreement or Remain. Before that date, the UK will have a new Prime Minister by the end of July. Most Tory Party members back Boris Johnson for leader and he is therefore the most likely next Prime Minister. Within the Labour Party, most members support Jeremy Corbyn. In both situations, most members would back their Brexit decisions.
The Brexit Party, Claire Fox and Warrington-an overview.
Claire Fox and Nigel Farage.

The Brexit Party, the RCP and Enniskillen.
An ex RCP member and an Enniskillen campaigner are both on the same Brexit Party list. Alka Sehgal Cuthbert and Aileen Quinton are both on the same Brexit Party list in London. According to the Daily Beast the former is an ex member of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) while the latter is “an outspoken campaigner for victims of terrorism, her mother Alberta having been one of 12 killed in the IRA Enniskillen bombing in 1987”.
Brendan O’Neill’s emails, Claire Fox and Warrington.
Warrington is in the NW England constituency. Last week, I received a couple of emails (24/25 April) from Brendan O’Neill regarding my article “Brendan O’Neill, Brexit and Irish Republicanism”. In particular, he was most upset that he had been described as a supporter of dissident Irish Republicanism. The first email can be read at the end in the link above.

Andrew Murray - Some Background Information.
Andrew Murray and Jeremy Corbyn. One of Jeremy Corbyn’s advisers, Andrew Murray, has been in the news the last couple of days in connection with the ongoing anti-Semitism crisis Labour has been having. There have been reports about his political past in the Communist Party of Britain (CPB) and how he left them in late 2016 to join Labour. I’ve compiled a short list of Mr Murray’s politics for those unaware of his history. 1. Straight Left. Guess whose side Andrew Murray and Seumas Milne took.
WHAT IS THE LABOUR ANTISEMITISM ROW ABOUT?
Hi there. My name is Nicole and I am an entertainment print journalist. I am also Jewish and I am writing this in response to my many non-Jewish friends who admit they don’t fully understand the Labour antisemitism crisis. I hope it might also help you. I first wrote it in February but it has been updated ahead of the December 2019 election. The Labour antisemitism issue has been a big problem for around four years now.
Spiked Online, Ireland and Brexit.
From Bolshevism to Yellow Jackets. After publishing my piece Brendan O’Neill, Brexit and Irish Republicanism, I realised that there was a lot about the Spiked network and its political evolution that many were unaware of. In this regard, I am no expert but the prominence given to many of them, especially with regard to Brexit, made me have another look at some of their changing opinions over the years.
The Withdrawal Agreement, Labour’s Six Tests and No Deal Brexit.
Barnier CNBC story here. Here are Labour’s Six Tests on whether or not to support the UK/EU27 Withdrawal Agreement. 1. Does it ensure a strong and collaborative future relationship with the EU? 2. Does it deliver the “exact same benefits” as we currently have as members of the Single Market and Customs Union? 3. Does it ensure the fair management of migration in the interests of the economy and communities? 4. Does it defend rights and protections and prevent a race to the bottom? 5.
