I have questions, a lot of questions, about a lot of things. Unfortunately I have noticed that the daily news cycle, including in the so-called "alternative" media, ignores a lot of the questions that I have.

The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke, "All Will Come Again"
*"All Will Come Again"* "All will come again into its strength: the fields undivided, the waters undammed, the trees towering and the walls built low. And in the valleys, people as strong and varied as the land. And no churches where God is imprisoned and lamented like a trapped and wounded animal. The houses welcoming all who knock and a sense of boundless offering in all relations, and in you and me. No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond, no belittling of death, but only longing for what belongs to us and serving earth, lest we remain unused." - Rainer Maria Rilke

On Intellectuals Who Philosophize Like Zeus
There exists a category of intellectuals who think that they are the world’s ultimate repository of reason and morality. They are so convinced of their intelligence that they think that the solutions that they prescribe for the world’s problems are always correct and must be accepted by all. These intellectuals remind me of the Homeric god Zeus who is also convinced of his omniscience and omnipotence, and keeps coming up with new ideas which, instead of doing any good, cause massive chaos in all the three realms.

WINGNUTS TRY AGAIN TO ATTACK KAMALA HARRIS ON HER ANCESTRY -- INEPTLY
Let's see: They've tried arguing that Kamala Harris isn't a "natural-born citizen" because her parents were both born overseas. (Harris was born in Oakland, and is therefore an American.) They've insisted that Harris isn't "an American black" (even though she's both American and black) because her black father grew up in Jamaica, not the U.S. Although I'm sure these attacks are still being circulated by wingnuts and would-be vote suppressors, both of them have fallen flat with the general public. But the right is nothing if not persistent. Here's another one, from Patrick Howley at... more »

A New North Korea in the Era of 'Trumplomacy'
*David Santoro* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] We don’t live in conventional times and Donald Trump isn’t a conventional leader. Instead of adhering to the norm, the business magnate is redefining "success." Conventional wisdom holds that long negotiations must always precede summits between heads of state or government. Working-level teams hash out agreements in details for weeks, months, and sometimes even years before the summits where country leaders provide little more than their blessing to already-concluded texts. But we don’t live in conventional times and President ... more »

Should We Abolish Billionaires?America now has more billionaires...
Robert Reich - 5 hours ago
*Should We Abolish Billionaires?* America now has more billionaires than at any time in history, while most Americans are struggling to make ends meet. With such staggering inequality, it’s fair to ask: should we abolish billionaires? There are basically only four ways to accumulate a billion dollars – and none of them is a product of so-called free market capitalism. Billionaires themselves aren’t the problem. The real failure is in how our economy is organized. *One way to make a billion is to exploit a monopoly*. Jeff Bezos is worth $150 billion. You might say he deserves t... more »
