Donald Trump has certainly talked a big game when it comes to foreign policy. After making a series of bold promises to "destroy ISIS," "take jobs back from China," and force Mexico to pay for a wall along the southern U.S. border, campaign spectators have been waiting on the Donald to take the initial step of building a team of advisers capable of delivering on his campaign rhetoric.

In political folklore, as well as Star Trek geekery, there's the old adage: Only Nixon could go to China.

Nixon was a strong president and made the right call. China was ready to open its doors to American trade, and for at least the first several decades we prospered greatly from this new trading partner.

Cuba's 12 million people are unlikely to form such a huge trading partnership, but Obama's political stroke of genius was one of geopolitics -- both far and near political ramifications of finally ending the Cold War in the Western Hemisphere.

A debate featuring many of the candidates seeking the Libertarian Party created some ruckus within libertarian inner circles.

Today, Arizona voters are headed to the polls to decide which presidential candidates they prefer to take the 58 delegates in the Republican contest and 75 delegates on the Democratic contest. However, more than 1.2 million citizens in Arizona – more than a third of all registered voters in the state – won't be allowed to cast a ballot.

WASHINGTON, March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the FBI signals it may try to avert a court showdown with Apple over whether the tech company should be required to help unlock the iPhone of a shooter who killed 14 people in the San Bernardino attack, a new survey indicates that Apple is winning the fierce public battle.

I have always been taught that an organization is the product of its leadership. For the duration of President Obama's administration, America's elected leaders have demonstrated, almost on a daily basis, that being angry, intolerant, and uncompromising is the way to behave. Republicans and Democrats alike have drawn lines in the sand declaring no retreat and no compromise.

The Palm Beach Post reported Monday that a federal judge in Florida struck down the use of prison gerrymandering in Jefferson County, declaring it unconstitutional. In other words, the judge county officials cannot include prison populations when drawing local electoral districts because it violates the legal precedent of "one percent, one vote," giving some voters within the county greater power than others.

The decision is historic as it is the first time a judge has ruled on "prison-based gerrymandering."

The Palm Beach Post reports:

The Libertarian Party just scored a major victory in its quest to fulfill candidate Gary Johnson’s promise that the party will be on the ballot in all 50 states as an alternative to the Republicans and Democrats in the 2016 presidential election.

One of the greatest of the Aesop's Fables was a sixth century one about a man, his son, and a small donkey. The fable is short, the gist is simple: the father and son get ridiculed for ridding the donkey together, separately, and finally wind up carrying the donkey themselves --only to become further ridiculed. And in utter disgust, they toss the donkey over the bridge to be done with their troubles.

Running for political office has changed. The name of the game now is voter data. Political campaigns are now nothing more than huge data gathering machines. These campaigns suck up every detail about the voter they can get their hands on. Some details are rather mundane such as your home address or your political affiliation. But some data gets up close and personal like your sexual orientation, mental health, or if you own a gun. But sadly, politicians -- like major corporations -- are very bad secret keepers.
