"Wiretapping Word-Thinking"
*"Wiretapping Word-Thinking"* by Scott Adams "The other day, President Trump declared that “President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!” Then the world went nuts. Former CIA Director James Clapper denied that Trump was wiretapped, saying, “There was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president, the president-elect at the time, or as a candidate, or against his campaign.“ Yet we know General Flynn was in Trump Tower when his conversation with the Russian diplomat were recorded. Does that mean Flynn was “wiretapped”? No. But it might mean the p... more »

Draining the swamp: A guide for outsiders and career politicians
Carl Abbott, Professor of Urban Studies and Planning, Emeritus, Portland State University at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 27 minutes ago
Illustration titled, "If you want to get rid of mosquitos, drain the swamp that breeds them." (1909) Library of Congress What do Ron Paul, Nancy Pelosi and President Donald Trump have in common? They’ve all promised to “drain the swamp” of Washington politics. These ambitious “hydraulic engineers” rely on a phrase that is deeply mired in our political discourse. The metaphor gets its clout from the notion that Washington was built in an actual physical swamp, whose foul landscape has somehow nourished rotten politics. The assumption is just plain wrong: Washington was never a swamp,... more »
Summary of Victor Frankl on “Tragic Optimism”
Viktor Emil Frankl M.D., PhD. (1905 – 1997) was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, a form of Existential Analysis, and the best-selling author of Man’s Search for Meaning, which has sold over 12 million copies. According to a survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book-of-the-Month Club, it is one of “the ten most influential books in America.” (I have taught out of the book in many universities classes, and it is one of my favorite books. I have summarized it here.)
It's North Korea's Chemical Weapon's Program That We Should Be Worried About
Reuters *Gordon G. Chang, Daily Beast:* *Kim’s Killer Chemicals, Spread Far and Wide, Could Target the U.S.* North Korea’s chemical weapons are the WMD of choice for some of the world’s most horrible regimes. North Korea used a weapon of mass destruction, VX nerve agent, to murder one man in Malaysia last month, settling an old family feud. But that is not the only time the regime in Pyongyang has been linked to the use of deadly chemicals. In Syria in 2013 the Assad regime, reportedly with the assistance of the North Korean military, used the chemical weapon sarin and possibly V... more »

The Poet: Jane Hirshfield, “The Task”

And yes, it is a simple enough task we've taken on, though also vast: from dusk to dawn, from dawn to dusk, to praise, and not be blinded by the praising. To lie like a cat in hot sun, fur fully blazing, and dream the mouse; and to keep too the mouse's patient, waking watch within the deep rooms of the house, where the leaf-flocked sunlight never reaches, but the earth still blooms.” - Jane Hirshfield

*"Sad Shelter Dog Just Learned He And His Elephant Are Going Home Together"* He was left at the shelter on Valentine's Day with his favorite toy. by Arin Greenwood "Smokey has been depressed for the last couple of weeks, since he was given up to an Ohio animal shelter on Valentine's Day, along with this favorite toy. The dog's surrender form says that Smokey is 5 years old, and has been loved by the same person that whole time. The reason Smokey was going to the shelter was because the family had lost their home. *Click image for larger size.* The stuffed gray elephant with pink ears w... more »
The Future of The NDP
A lot has been written about the Conservative leadership race. But, so far, the contest for the leadership of the NDP has generated little comment -- mainly because, until recently, nobody wanted the job. But now that Peter Julian, Charlie Angus and Guy Caron have put in their applications, attention will tip toward the Dippers. But, Tom Walkom writes, interest in the party's future does not mean that it will turn to the left. The Leap Manifesto was an attempt to steer the party in that direction. However, the brief excitement over the so-called LEAP Manifesto — a clarion call to ... more »
With So Many Low-Info American Voters, Did Trump Even Need Putin's Help To Win?
In his column yesterday, Paul Krugman wrote that not only is Trump "the least qualified individual, temperamentally or intellectually, ever installed in the White House," but that "the broader Republican quagmire-- the party’s failure so far to make significant progress toward any of its policy promises-- isn’t just about Mr. Trump’s inadequacies. The whole party, it turns out, has been faking it for years. Its leaders’ rhetoric was empty; they have no idea how to turn their slogans into actual legislation, because they’ve never bothered to understand how anything important works.... more »

*A view to a hill.* The tragic but humorous story of the man who returned home only to find it torn down by a construction company engaged in "urban renewal". Chang, who lived on the fourth floor, said the building had collapsed and accused SWJ of tearing down his home. Chang said that after he left the meeting, in which the two sides failed to reach an agreement, he was hit by a scooter and had to go to a police station to give an account of the accident, which he said was a ploy by the firm to stall him. *SWJ president Cheng Ko-shi (鄭可熙) said the company did not mean to tear do... more »

OUR COMITY! OUR PRECIOUS COMITY!
Peter Baker of *The New York Times* is concerned about civility -- but not for the reasons you and I might be: When last they saw each other six weeks ago after the ceremonial passing of power, President Trump and former President Barack Obama parted with smiles and handshakes. But it did not take long for the surface bonhomie to degenerate into a fierce and public clash unlike any other in modern times. While Mr. Obama has remained quiet for the most part, some of his closest loyalists moved into opposition mode, leading what some only half-jokingly call “the resistance.” Mr. Trump... more »
"In The End..."
"You may wonder about long-term solutions. I assure you, there are none. All wounds are mortal. Take what's given. You sometimes get a little slack in the rope but the rope always has an end. So what? Bless the slack and don't waste your breath cursing the drop. A grateful heart knows that in the end we all swing." - Stephen King

*UK: Budget to pave way for return of grammars [charters]* The prime minister will forge ahead with a new generation of grammars, earmarking £320 million to fund 140 new free schools. The extra cash — part of a £500 million pot for education reforms to be announced in tomorrow’s budget — will include provision for selective secondaries to be built and for poorer pupils to be taken by bus to their nearest grammar. Thirty of the schools are to be built before 2020, with the remaining 110 due to open in the next parliament. These could include the first new state-funded selective sec... more »

Why SpaceX Won't Turn Us Into A Multi-planetary Species

In that case the announcement amounts to nothing more than a logical and rather modest step towards Musk's promise of getting a million people to live on Mars. read more

Right/Wrong and the Press
The Democrat majority in Congress passed ObamaCare, Barack's singular 'achievement' in eight miserable years...and now it's being replaced by the American Health Care Act, which, can be read online at readthebill.gop. It won't be a secret and it won't have to be passed at night without anyone reading it. There will be debate, there will be compromise. With any luck at all, it won't go bankrupt the way that ObamaCare did. Barack said that those who passed ObamaCare would be on the "right side of history". That turned out to be one of many unconscionable lies. Are you on the wrong sid... more »

"The Reality Is, Half Of Americans Can’t Afford To Write A $500 Check"
*"The Reality Is, Half Of Americans Can’t Afford To Write A $500 Check"* by Tyler Durden The CEO of Assurant appeared on Bloomberg TV to explain why demand for his services is likely to increase: the chief executive of the mobile phone insurer said he expects a surge in demand as carriers charge customers more to replace their devices. “If you think back five years ago, you as a consumer didn’t know how much that phone cost, you thought it was free or close to free,” Assurant's Alan Colberg said Monday. “Now you’re paying $600, that’s a lot.

Galt’s Gulch Is Not An Endorsement of Anarchism
The "free-market anarchists” or ”anarcho-capitalists” claim that the lack of government in Galt’s Gulch can be seen as Ayn Rand's endorsement of a no-government society. So how did Rand herself view the political structure of Galt’s Gulch? In *Ayn Rand Answers: The Best of Her Q&A*, she is asked: “Why is the lack of government in Galt’s Gulch (in *Atlas Shrugged*) any different from anarchy, which you object to?” In her response, Rand repudiates the anarchist position. Let me quote her: *Galt’s Gulch is not a society; it’s a private estate. It’s owned by one man who carefully sel... more »
New York Times Wiretap Story.
This is beyond bizarre. Can the reporter not read his own stories from a month before? Obviously you cannot go out and claim that the whole case against Trump for Russian contact is based on 'intercepted' communication and then claim that the counter claim of wiretapping is spurious. That the whole exercise proved nothing is incidental then. It is not incidental that the New York times knew about the wire tapping. They are in fact now in possession of evidence or they are fabricating something somewhere. How do you wish to go down? There are now plenty of issu... more »
Trump, Watergate, Nixon, Rockefeller: The Real Lesson
[image: Trump] I have never heard this particular narrative before. We are back again to the Great Conspiracy, but far too many folks seem to go to great lengths to be implicated to dismiss it wholesale. It is an easy sell in many ways but flawed by human stupidity. I want to say that i am no fan of either protectionism or tariffs generally. Both distort to private advantage and do little to grow the economy. Yet it is also true that we need a proper consumption tax or a VAT. That would actually swing advantage back to proper free trade as it blocks everyone ga... more »
Fearing Feral Hog Apocalypse - Texas Acts
They all have to be insane. That means a million sows all able to produce a litter of several more every year. These hogs must be actively harvested and put into our meat system. That means that the wild herds need to be identied and actually owned as was true traditionally when they were set loose in the woods. The sooner this is done the better. Our whole approach to the wild generally is heading for an apocalypse in which massive feral herds on perfectly good game animals are no longer been actively reduced by human hunting. Quite simply we either do the job or Wolves an... more »

BABY BLACK MARKET
During the 1950s up to 15% of all illegitimate Irish children born in mother-and-baby homes each year were taken to the United States with the full knowledge of the Irish State. Ireland has been a centre for illegal international baby trafficking. Foreigners have been able to obtain illegitimate children from mother-and-baby homes, and private nursing homes, and then remove them from Ireland without any formalities. *The baby black market* *Theresa Hiney Tinggal - illegall
