Now I will be moving to South Korea. Thankfully, my experiences working in a school in the Philippines with a large Korean population have prepared me for this (as well as my living in China and deep studies of Chinese culture and history) but it will still be an adjustment as you can...

So-called “moderate liberals” are supporting entitlement reform because they’re afraid of what might happen if the debt ceiling isn’t isn’t raised in time to avert a government shutdown. Financial sustainability has nothing to do with it, but political blackmail sure does. Guess who’s ...
