How to stop the cold war between America and China?
Introduction The recent visit of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to China has been viewed as a significant effort to stabilize the increasingly strained relations between the two world powers. While the visit was generally pleasant, tensions resurfaced when US President Joe Biden referred to Chinese President Xi Jinping as a "dictator" at a fundraising event. This statement drew a strong reaction from China, further complicating the relationship between the two countries. The reception of Indian President Narendra Modi by the Biden administration and their joint statements also hint at the US's intent to include India as a strong player in an anti-China coalition. With the future of this critical global relationship hanging in the balance, several books have been published to shed light on the US-China conflict and its potential outcomes.

Is America on the Cusp of a Healthcare Revolution?
February 27th (Atlanta, GA) – Last night (February 26th), the President of the United States stood before a joint-session of Congress to deliver a rare first-year State of the Union Address. While those in attendance and the millions watching at home never learned if the condition of the country was “strong” or some other similar terminology, the President took the opportunity to lambast the Legislative and Judicial Branches for past perceived grievances. Yet after spending a good portion of the opening statement attacking these coequal parts of government, the President did take a significant amount of time to explain that there is usually more agreement than not, despite the rhetoric and the “media hype” of partisanship.

President Attacks Rather than Addresses Congress in First State of the Union
February 26th (Washington, D.C.) – A few short weeks after making a request to do so, the President was able to appear before a joint-session of Congress to give a State of the Union address. However, this was a speech unlike any given since becoming formally known by that name in 1947—which coincidently was the first time the speech was broadcast on television. The last President to have a State of the Union during their first year in office was John F. Kennedy—although his successor Lyndon B. Johnson had one after Kennedy was assassinated and Gerald Ford also had one when Richard Nixon resigned. However, according to a Congressional Research Service report (https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44770.pdf) on the history of the State of the Union:

Sunak: There is Still Hope! (Really?)
The cost of living is going through the roof. We are all feeling it in our purses, wallets, accounts, etc. Unless you are in a certain financial bracket like Prime Minister Rishi Sunak or Chancellor Jeremy Hunt. These men, even if they tried, cannot possibly understand, the plight of ordinary folk as they struggle to put food on the table. Sunak is the richest MP and probably the richest Prime Minister ever. He and his other half Akshata Murty, enjoy a lifestyle most of us will never see. Wishy-Washy Boy is richer than King Charles III. As Sir Keir pointed out to him at Prime Minister's Questions: "How can you possibly understand what people are going through? When you are hovering in your private helicopter looking down on those struggling on the ground".
