ABOUT THIS BLOG

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material there. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. You will all receive invitations to post to the blog. (Please let me know if you do not get such an invitation.) I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:
To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Simulation Meets Real Life

 In the simulation, I, as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), advocated legislation that would monitor China's growing presence in the Americas out of concern/care for Rubio's upcoming 2022 reelection in which Latin American exile groups (particularly those from socialist countries) will play a significant role. 

His most likely opponent, as of today, is Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), a co-chair of the moderate Blue Dog Coalition. Today, Murphy introduced a bill "to Assess China’s Efforts to Expand Presence and Influence in Latin America and the Caribbean," which would require the "U.S. government to develop a plan of action to counter China’s malign activities in the region." 

Good thing I got in front of her on this issue.
