Happy Valentines Day!
The Weekly Brief - February 14, 2020
Ah, dear readers, alas, there is no Weekly Brief this week! Why?
I could say that on a day celebrating love, it might be wiser to take a news break and make time to focus on those you love and care about, and that would be true - you should do that. I'm looking forward to a news break today.
I could say that I'm lazy and forgot (that is certainly not true).
Rather, I am sick today and finding it very difficult to write a coherent sentence. So, I'm saving some of energy to do what I can to express my love for my family (short of giving them my germs), and get rested for next week.
If you really must have news, here are some of the stories I was tracking this week:
Big election news in Ireland
Changing coronavirus numbers in China, and the political fallout there
The speculation on if the Sanders train could wreck the Democrat Party
A wave of Islamist militia attacks in northern and western Africa (this is going to be big)
You can also check out my latest podcast on exploring just what is America's national interest (link below).\
Until next week then!
