I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to be back tonight on the nationally syndicated “CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor.” Our subject – the crucial question of whether recent U.S. moves bythe Trump and Biden administrations represent a worrisome new lurch toward destructive trade protectionism, or efforts to defend and promote legitimate American – and sometimes global – interests.

No specific air time had been set when the segment was recorded this morning, but the show – also featuring co-host Gordon G. Chang – is broadcast beginning at 10 PM EST, the entire program is always compelling, and you can listen live at links like this. As always, moreover, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

Making News: A Video-Version Podcast & an Award!

chemical weapons, Feedspot.com, Making News, Market Wrap with Moe Ansari

Here are two kind of unusual entries for “Making News”:

The first is a video of my latest interview on the nationally syndicated radio program “Market Wrap with Moe Ansari.” I’ve already posted a link to the audio podcast, but I had the chance to do this segment with Moe in studio in Newport Beach, California – an opportunity I take up whenever possible because IMO the conversation goes so much better when both participants can pick up on body language and other visual cues. (P.S. It’s also better than Zooming.) So here’s your chance to see for yourself if I’m right.

In addition, I can now say that RealityChek is an award-winning site! It’s just been included on FeedSpot.com‘s list of “45 Best Chemical Weapon Blogs and Websites.” The list is “curated from thousands of blogs on the web and ranked by traffic, social media followers, domain authority & freshness.” I don’t consider myself a chemical weapons maven, and don’t write on the subject that much, but I have dealt with it a bit in the context of the Ukraine War. Therefore, it was gratifying to come in 22d, especially since the list contains quite a few mainstream news sites. Click here to see it.
