In the context of a violent Russian invasion, what does the law teach us about the danger to civilization when the chaos of an autocrat is favored over the plain meaning of international law and treaties?  Host: John P. Flannery, II, Esq. (jonf
We are following the war in Ukraine and the unease it's presented to the US, NATO and the EU.  The latter have choked and the question is what will happen if our missteps and failures to act result in success of Russian President Putin's invasi
On the national and international level, the democracies are not handling bullies very well.  Let's talk about that.  John P. Flannery ([email protected], @jonflan).
I thought it might be of use to look at whence Crimea arose, what happened in Ukraine in 2014, and 2022, and what needs to be done once we escape this rupture in world peach - if we do.  John P. Flannery, II, Esq. ([email protected], @jonflan )

I've selected what I think are key stories from the Sunday edition, like I might have done when a student at Columbia on a Sunday at a local coffee shop - so we could discuss the news.  For better or worse, I think I know more now, and I've off
What has happened in other nation states that we have told ourselves couldn't or wouldn't happen here - is happening.  We have to fight for our Republic or risk losing it to Toxic Trump autocrats - John P. Flannery ([email protected], @jonflan )
I present this as an exercise of what we may have to do if some of wacko governors have their way and limited an High School student's access to information about slavery and discrimination in America.  Or any other topic.One thing we can do i
We have two times in American History that must be regarded as linked, when MLK was fighting for equal justice and now when we are fighting a Republican party that has lost its way - what can be done - after the Hill, well then it's the ballot
We are at a critical point, when we either fight for our democracy, or accept the possibility that we may lose our democracy.  The key is to give a reckoning for those responsible, not just the rioters, but their overseers, starting with No. 1,
How we talk about the mid-terms may make all the difference to the outcome - so think about the truth and stay close to those princ9ples you had that are the best that can be said of your character and of our nation's promise.  John P. Flannery
We are all suffering from too much of our unceasing contact sport, politics.  So how about a few poems from Robert Frost - for a change - John P. Flannery, [email protected], @jonflan
The Republicans used school boards and children as foils for their political strategies in this year's elections.  They were conducted at the expense of good school policy and the dignity and education of our children.  They were brutal and eff
From January 6th on we knew that we were dealing with an enemy within from the oval office and Trump reaching out in every direction to ignore the electoral defeat of Trump and steal the election from Biden.  Rogue Rudy Giuliani advised Trump,
Our daily dose of dreary political infighting and congressional paralysis might lead us to fail to appreciate that there are "heroes" that dwell among us - but perhaps they are not to be found in politics.  So I decided upon this occasional pod

The Republican MAGA Moms (and some Yahoo Dads) are attacking school boards across the nation in their political campaign to discourage racial tolerance, and thus to suppress the black vote.  They had some success with this technique in the rece
We the people can and must prompt more responsive action by our leaders.  Enough with the talk.  After the recent electoral losses in Virginia, Congress passed an infrastructure bill.  They finally got what we've been talking about.  That's all
Father Christopher J. Devron, the President of Fordham Prep, a Jesuit High School for Young Men, wrote an article, "Should Catholic Schools Teach Critical Race Theory? - he has agreed to talk about how he worked his way through what is critical
We have to resist the inclination to give up.  We have to have the resolve to go forward.  We made a big advance last year when we cast the orange menace ouf of the West Wing.  Now we have to restore the Republic, that has proven to be quite ch
