*Supreme court orders Biden to revive Trump’s ‘remain in Mexico’ policy.*

The ruling is not about the substance of the policy. It is about following the procedures for government agencies to make a change in policy. What I do not understand is why the wrecker didn't have to follow those same procedures when he introduced this policy. That seems fishy.

Plutocratist Democrats on Buffalo's city council propose to eliminate the office of mayor, if democratic socialist India Walton wins the election for mayor (as is likely).

US military veterans support removing troops from Afghanistan by 63% to 24%.

The main national central banks are still investing in fossil fuels, doing nothing to slow global heating.

China is gravely threatened by global heating disaster. By 2050, it may be too disaster-wracked to continue building up its military.

Perhaps by that time, the idea of conquering and enslaving Taiwan will have become a pipedream for China instead of a real possibility. But we can't count on that now.

It is vitally important for China to cut its greenhouse emissions, and fast. If the Zhengzhou flood, and the newly discovered likelihood of fatal weather in the North China Plain, convince Xi to push China into rapid efforts for climate defense, that will be good for the whole world. It may help us convince other countries do likewise.

Maybe the US and China could negotiate limits on some sorts of arms, in particular nuclear arms.

However, the need to strengthen Taiwan's conventional defense so that China doesn't starts a war there will remain.
