2021/04/14 19:26 Wendy Sherman Wendy Sherman (CNA photo) TAIPEI (Taiwan News) The U.S. Senate approved President Joe Biden’s appointment of Wendy Sherman as deputy secretary of state on Tuesday (April 13). During a confirmation hearing, Sherman expressed her hardline position when it comes to China. She said the U.S. should compete with China and stand up to the country on issues related to the South China Sea and human rights. After a vote of 56-42 on the Senate floor, Sherman, 72, became the second-in-command in the State Department under Antony Blinken. As one of the chief negotiators of the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, many senators opposed her appointment. However, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations first voted 14-8 to approve the appointment on March 11.

Among the most disturbing revelations about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was the discovery that veterans of the U.S. armed forces were among the insurrectionists. Any veterans who ransacked the legislative offices at least one of whom has been accused of intending to take hostages were violating their oaths to the Constitution in new and appalling ways.
Fifty years ago this week, another group of veterans marched on the U.S. Capitol. The disparities are stark. Instead of engaging in criminal behavior, these far more principled veterans in 1971 were participating in peaceful dissent.
