Manufacturing Dissent: US NGO's Build Opposition in Thailand

Land Destroyer at Land Destroyer - 1 hour ago
*June 9, 2018* (Joseph Thomas - NEO) - Should decidedly anti-British government organisations be found across the United Kingdom to be funded and directed by Russians, we could only imagine the reaction. Even whispers of hints of Russian influence have resulted in legislation, sanctions and quite literally years of punditry warning of the Kremlin's insidious reach. When the tables are turned, it is clear London, Washington and Brussels understand the inappropriateness of one nation interfering in the internal affairs of another. Yet this acute awareness has not informed US or Europ... more »

How Lazy Is Trumpanzee?

*I'm Doing A Tremendous Job by Nancy Ohanian* Yesterday Eliana Johnson noted that Trump and Bolton are spurning top-level North Korea planning and that after two months on the job, Bolton has not called a single top-level National Security Council meeting on North Korea. Trump thinks he can just wing it? I would be surprised if he could find North Korea on a map and knows anything about North Korea beyond what Dennis Rodman has told him. Is he really bringing Rodman to the summit? "For decades," wrote Johnson, "top presidential advisers have used a methodical process to hash out nat... more »

The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke, "Sonnets to Orpheus, Part One, IV"

*"Sonnets to Orpheus, Part One, IV"* "You who let yourselves feel: enter the breathing that is more than your own. Let it brush your cheeks as it divides and rejoins beside you. Blessed ones, whole ones, you where the heart begins: You are the bow that shoots the arrows and you are the target. Fear not the pain. Let its weight fall back into the earth; for heavy are the mountains, heavy the seas. The trees you planted in childhood have grown too heavy. You cannot bring them along. Give yourselves to the air, to what you cannot hold." - Rainer Maria Rilke

A New Study Says a War with North Korea Could Be Hell (And Start a U.S.-China War)

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* And, of course, millions would die. If war erupts with North Korea, then the U.S. military will have problems, according to a series of wargames conducted by the RAND Corporation. Invading North Korea to capture or destroy Kim Jong-un’s nuclear arsenal, or to knock out artillery batteries threatening Seoul, would overstretch and deplete American and South Korean forces. More ominously, this could also trigger Chinese military intervention. RAND focused on the ability of the U.S. military—and especially the U.S. Army, which sponsored the research—... more »

Did you know that not every congressional race in California has been called yet. First place in each of the 53 districts has been determined and announced.

*a purely rhetorical question.* While the passing of anyone is always sad for the people left behind, a person who commits suicide is particularly hard to comprehend. Anthony Bourdain, a celebrity chef, took his own life by hanging at the age of 61. I've never watched his program and confess to barely knowing anything about him. From reports I'm skimmed it seems he was rather contentious and unhappy. Charles Krauthammer, 68, has announced that he only has weeks to live. This is a man, who despite being paralyzed from a diving accident, still managed to complete his studies and b... more »

Will America's Allies Turn On Trump at the G-7 Summit?

Doug Bandow at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Doug Bandow* *Security, Americas* [image: Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. President Donald Trump hold a joint news conference in the East Room of the White House in Washington, U.S., March 17, 2017. Jonathan Ernst:] The G-7 Summit could be the start of a serious allied challenge to Washington’s leadership. Group of seven meetings, known as the G-7 Summit, are usually civil, even boring. They feature heavily scripted discussions with a bias toward consensus, so genuine news only rarely emerges. But the G-7 Summit, which began in Quebec on Friday, might yield a surpris... more »

Many college grads are underemployed

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 11 hours ago
Many college grads are underemployed in first job, and still underemployed five years later. Look at the chart--the highest underemployment (doesn't require a college degree) is in many of the fields women flock to, and then they wonder why there's a wage gap [image: underemployment 2018] Remember, there are reasons to choose a lower level job. I was a secretary in the Russian Area Center in Urbana, Illinois because I couldn’t get a teaching job in Urbana (at that time you could be denied a job if you had a young child). Some women choose a lower level job not requiring a col... more »

Leaker worked with NYT reporter

Oh dear. The media were in cahoots with a Senate staffer and were benefitting from the leaks! John Wolfe was in “a relationship” with a New York Times reporter for three years, to whom he was giving sensitive government information. Pillow Talk.

Seoul in talks with Pyongyang, Washington over ‘early’ agreement on ending Korean War

*North Korean Leader Kim and South Korean* *Leader Moon hold hands during recent meeting* US President Donald Trump didn't know what he was getting into when he started to stir the Korean hornet's nest after gaining the White House. Just like he did on any number of other issues...he reduced the complexities of the Korean peninsula to a Tweet. "Rocket Man". It sounded so good and looked so good on his cell phone late that night just before he quickly pressed "send" while sitting on the edge of his bed.

Is The Pipeline Poisoned?

Peter Greene at CURMUDGUCATION - 11 hours ago
In his book* The Testing Charade,* Daniel Koretz talks at one point about the discovery that many young teachers are emerging from their training believing that test prep and good teaching are essentially synonymous. I've seen it, and so have other veteran teachers. Certainly it's not all young teachers, but it's too many of them who have grown up soaked in the reformy doctrine. What do I teach? Well, whatever lines up with the standards that are on the test. Which literature do I teach? It doesn't matter-- just find some stuff that comes with practice tests that are like the Big St... more »
