Political Lives California Vs. Texas

Our public life always has been powered by the friction of opposing theories of morality, economics or regional allegiance; North vs. South; big states vs. little states; slavery vs. abolition; tariffs vs. trade; “hard” money vs. “soft”; isolationism vs. world leadership. These days, California vs. Texas is the friction of choice: the most populous states (Texas officially became No. 2 in the 2000 Census); twin anchors of opposing political parties (California for Democrats, Texas for the Republicans); home to fundamentally differing views on issues such as energy production, the environment, zoning, business regulation, tobacco, the death penalty and religion in public life....

Politics Fable Vs. Fact

Lately, the Republican fable has carried the day. What’s stunting incomes and economic growth, it says, is big government, deficits and excessive taxation. Get rid of those things and the economy will fly. The Democrats’ fable is mushier. To grow faster, it says, we have to invest in education and high-value industries, so we can compete in the world. Both of these views sound true enough to be plausible, but there’s no proof that either approach will get wages up....

Poll Shows Trump Edging Out Biden In Hypothetical 2024 Presidential Race

Polling conducted by Emerson College from August 30 to September 1 showed that Trump had a very narrow advantage in a head-to-head contest against Biden. While Biden was backed by 46 percent of registered voters, Trump was backed by 47 percent—a lead of 1 percent. However, that lead is well within the polls margin of error, which is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points. The survey showed that 6 percent of registered voters would vote for “someone else,” and 2 percent said they were “undecided....

Poor White South African

South Africa’s hard-line racists hope to capitalize on such resentments in their uphill battle against the dismantling of apartheid. “We are not part of this ’new South Africa’,” one militant Afrikaner told a reporter at the funeral last week of one of three right-wingers killed while trying to disrupt a speech by President F. W. de Klerk in the right-wing stronghold of Ventersdorp. But the run-in proved that the largely Afrikaner security services will not necessarily break ranks when confronted by angry Afrikaner demonstrators....
