Stars and Stripes, Perhaps Not Forever

Thomas Knapp: In late 1861, Union soldiers in Bloomfield, Missouri, found the local newspaper’s office empty and decided to put it to good use. Stars and Stripes covered the activities of the three Illinois regiments. Their commander in chief, of course, was US president Abraham Lincoln. Over time, the paper gained direct funding from the military, but with … Continue reading Stars and Stripes, Perhaps Not Forever → - by Thomas L. Knapp

Thomas Knapp: “Our national debt just hit 40 TRILLION DOLLARS!” some guy tweeted on August 19. “This is bad. Congress needs to get spending under control and BALANCE THE BUDGET.

Thomas Knapp: “President Donald Trump’s decision to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea,” Matthew Lee and Ben Finley write for the Associated Press, “does not just slight a longtime ally but raises broader concerns about the security interests of the United States in Asia and elsewhere.” Trump’s reason for supposedly, and in unspecified ways, downsizing … Continue reading Korean Peninsula: One Small Step in the Right Direction → - by Thomas L.

Thomas Knapp: Around the US this November, voters will decide a number of tax questions. In California, it’s “wealth tax” on billionaires.
