Finally, there is enough of an impact on the japanese Senior Leadership to make a difference. Its not that there had been no one in japan who was contemplating getting out of the war by surrendering up until this point. Certainly nobody did it publicly. But within high government circles, there are peace advocates, folks saying the war is lost, we need out of this...

And there they go could she win her biggest race of all . Its definitely one of those things, where its made up in hollywood. Also. He...

Thats where we are. In politics news, the major headline today, what will actually i think go down in the books in terms of president ial politics history, is the fact that the president last night did just abruptly announce the cancellation of the Republican National Convention Next month to renominate him to run for a second term.

But at some point you start to realize that the values of the country that...

Second term. One day after that surprise announcement from the president , or about 24 hours after that announcement now, its still quite unclear as to whether there will be anything that looks like a Republican Convention, at all, next month. I mean, in american president ial campaign history, there have been good conventions. There have been bad conventions and scary ones. In modern times, though, theres never been one they couldnt get together to just actually do. I mean, we will see what the...
