    Voter ID is Common Sense, But it Won’t Fix Anything

    While the Voter ID debate consumes the airwaves with political debate, the real issue is not who is elected, but the unelected elites that hold power. Even if Voter ID passes, the new law will not change the real structure of power.

    People Are Not Upset Enough About the End of New START

    Greenland: Trump’s Folly

    Even hawkish foreign policy scholars admit that changing the US security setup in Greenland is unnecessary. Its supply of raw materials is also nothing special.
