Kim Min-seok The author is an editorial writer and former director of the Institute for Military and Security Affairs at the JoongAng Ilbo. Would Washington risk New York to protect Seoul? In a meeting with U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1961, French President Charles de Gaulle asked if the United States would be willing to risk New York and Washington to defend Paris. At that time, the United States was trying to dissuade France from developing nuclear weapons by promising to protect it from a Soviet Union nuclear attack with its nuclear umbrella. But de Gaulle rushed to develop nuclear weapons and downgraded membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) due to his suspicions about the nuclear umbrella. The Korean Peninsula is entering a new nuclear era. In an expanded meeting of the Workers’ Party of North Korea from June 8 to 10, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, chairman of the mighty State Affairs Commission, declared a “head-to-head war with enemies” after … [Read more...] about Would United States risk New York to protect Seoul?

SHANGHAI, June 25 (Reuters): China's military said on Saturday that the recent fly through of a U.S. maritime plane through the Taiwan Strait deliberately disrupted the regional situation and endangered peace and stability. Colonel Shi Yi, spokesman for the Eastern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army, said in a statement that the military had organised air and ground forces to monitor the U.S. aircraft's operation, which had taken place on Friday. He added that they firmly opposed the actions by the United States and that their troops remained high on alert. The U.S. navy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Taiwan Strait has been a frequent source of military tension since the defeated Republic of China government fled to Taiwan in 1949 after losing a civil war with the communists, who established the People's Republic of China. China has said previously that it has sovereignty and jurisdiction over the Taiwan Strait while the United States … [Read more...] about Chinese military says United States plane in Taiwan Strait endangered peace

Bow your heads and say a prayer over the separation of church and state, may it rest in peace. Who knows, doing so may someday entitle you to a government subsidy. During a week in which much of our focus is on the public assault on our democratic values that took place on Jan. 6 —and just as a looming Supreme Court decision seems all-but-certain to strip away the federal guarantee of reproductive rights at any moment—that same court may have more stealthily put the dagger in another principle on which our nation was founded. In the case of Carson v. Makin , the court ruled that public funds intended to support the education of students for whom a public education option was not available must be made available to parents who wished to use them to pay for religious schools’ tuition. In so doing, the court’s conservative majority essentially ordered that taxpayer funds be used to support religious institutions. The decision is fraught with problems. In his dissent, … [Read more...] about Separation of Church and State Is Crumbling Before Our Eyes

The proposed state budget , which Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to sign Thursday, incentivizes companies in Republican-controlled states to relocate jobs to California by giving them priority when it comes to receiving grant money. Starting next year, the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development — better known as GO-Biz — will consider the political leanings of a company's home state when deciding which businesses to award grants to. Put simply, it creates priority for businesses that are relocating jobs away from red states. That means companies in places like Alabama theoretically stand a better chance of receiving grant money from GO-Biz than companies in places like New York, even if both are attempting to create jobs in California. When considering whether a state meets the new bar for priority, the new budget calls for GO-Biz to consider whether that state's legislature has passed laws that are discriminatory. Specifically, it encourages GO-Biz to examine … [Read more...] about California takes further steps on trying to lure companies away from red states

Congress passed a bill Friday that aims to keep up the expanded, pandemic-era distribution of free meals for all students this summer. Final passage of the Keep Kids Fed Act in the U.S. House came less than a week before rule changes for child nutrition programs were set to expire June 30. “Our action today staves off a dangerous hunger cliff: ensuring universal free meals for all children throughout this summer, while helping schools keep up supply chain snags and rising costs for the upcoming school year,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, in a statement. The bill now goes to President Joe Biden for his signature. The legislation is intended to extend the rules that were adopted soon after COVID-19 disrupted schools nationwide so that summer meal distribution sites could operate in any community with need, rather than just where there’s a high concentration of low-income children, and offer to-go meals. Rules that have allowed all students to receive meals for free … [Read more...] about Congress approves free student meal extension through summer
