Biden said on multiple occasions that the U.S. military would defend the island in the event of an attack from China, seemingly straying from a long-standing U.S. policy of “strategic ambiguity” toward Taiwan (though Biden administration officials repeatedly stressed that the policy hadn’t changed). He also signed off on more than a dozen weapons…

I will follow up on citing this series, even if Dr. Antoni has not in the past eight months. Figure 1: Total Unemployed, Plus All Persons Marginally Attached to the Labor Force, Plus Total Employed Part Time for Economic Reasons, as a Percent of the Civilian Labor Force Plus…

His low cross found Harry Wilson, who curled a first-time effort into…
