Lead Like Jael, by Emma Waters. Regnery Faith, 240 pages. Emma Waters begins her debut book Lead Like Jael with a familiar confession: “Five years ago, I was having an absolute meltdown over the thought of becoming a mother.

The United States ruling class’s calculated and unempathetic stance on almost every policy is going to eventually be its downfall. The rulers are now demanding access to Africa’s critical minerals in exchange for medical care. The U.S. has already negotiated 28 international health agreements, most of them with African countries. Washington is refusing to disclose their full terms, triggering a widespread backlash, the Washington Post reported on Monday, according to a report by RT. These deals are part of an “America First” overhaul of foreign health assistance, led by the State Department following the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development last year.…

From the Standing Order in civil cases issued by Judge Ana Reyes (D.D.C.) The Court is mindful of the raging debate spaces between sentences engenders. See James Hamblin, The Scientific Case for Two Spaces After a Period, The Atlantic (May 11, 2018). Team Two Spaces champions improved readability and processing speed. See Rebecca L. Johnson, et al., Are two spaces better than one? The effect of spacing following periods and commas during reading, 80:6 Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 1504–11 (2018). Team One Space questions the science and notes that two space use is the monospaced font relic of a bygone…

Sources explained to the outlet that Iranian mediators countered by halting their enrichment program for less than ten years. Multiple Middle Eastern countries are attempting to mediate a resolution on this issue. It appears that both Washington and Tehran…
