Because of their dedication to finding common ground across an ideological chasm, the two were honored earlier this month with the annual Allegheny College Prize for Civility in Public Life .

As the Trump administration confronts the nuclear ambitions of North Korea's Kim Jong Un and the toxic fallout from Bashar Assad's chemical warfare against Syrian civilians, it is worth remembering that both dictators also command cyber-units.

I wrote last week that President Donald Trump might be on a roll - and maybe he is. But politics is never static: Things change and often they change quickly.
Apparently while she was discussing her "fondness" for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg mistakenly referred to Lindsey Graham as one of the "women of the Senate." Whether she meant this as a shady dig at Graham's questionable sexuality or she actually genuinely had a senior moment, we'll never know.
U.S. Senator John McCain says stopping Syrian President Bashar Assad's "murderous rampage" does not preclude America from fighting the Islamic State group. "The United States is the most powerful nation on earth, we can do both at the same time," the Republican senator said at a press conference in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

At the risk of being accused of stating the obvious, the what-ifs of history become increasingly significant when considered in the context of globalization and power politics. One doesn't have to go back to the end of World War I when the mistakes were made in the Treaty of Versailles that led to the rise and ultimate devastation just 20 years later of Nazi Germany to realize that if the allied parties had been more generous in their victory settlement, Hitler and the Third Reich and World War II might have been avoided.
US military forces patrolling the country's southern approaches are under-resourced and overwhelmed by the flow of drugs and contraband coming north, military and Coast Guard leaders said in recent weeks.

Republican Senator John McCain said on Friday that more airstrikes were needed to put a stop to the killing in Syria. McCain made the comments during an official visit to Slovenia.
President Trump's missile strike against Syria is the first time the U.S. took direct military action against the Assad regime since the civil war began there in 2011. But some Syrians have been asking for more U.S. involvement for some time.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable aspects of the showdown in the Senate this week was the lack of any visibly organized compromise effort.
