When America’s Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution and Bill of Rights, they had in mind a reset button to review the republic’s domestic and foreign affairs periodically, paving the way for a government of the People, for the People, by the people. The election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the President and Vice-President, […]
The Biden administration has turned up the Trump temperature and rhetoric of “retreat or fight” on China’s claims in the South China Sea, East China Sea and Taiwan, subjects I have addressed at length in the Custom Maid trilogy. China has built military bases in the South China Sea that it claims solely for itself, […]
China bashing has become a political staple during U.S. presidential election campaigns. Never more so than today. It is a subject I have addressed and criticized at length in my Custom Maid trilogy.
