Ambitious Democrats Decide How To Vote On The Republican FISA Bill

Trump’s Comment Should Outrage Us All
One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of each semester is to review the class rosters and scan all my students’ beautiful names-names like Samrawit, Priyanka, and Chukwuemeka to name a few.

Out of the approximately 60,000 students who will take classes this year, 159 different countries will be represented, including countries that President Trump called “shitholes.”

Dog put up for adoption in a shelter escapes and walks the 20 miles back to her old house
A dog in Oklahoma who was given up for adoption missed her owners so much that she trekked nearly 20 miles to try and locate them. And when she couldn’t find her family the first time, the homesick pooch made the journey again. The Seminole Humane Society and Animal Shelter said that six-year-old Cathleen lived with her family in Seminole up until a few months ago when they moved to a new home in town. The family couldn’t take Cathleen to the new house so they had to put her up for adoption. The Pyrenees mix was staying at a home in Prague as she waited to be taken in by new owne... more »

BWorld 179, Federalism dream vs centralized government
* This is my article in BusinessWorld last January 5. Repeated calls for federalism by the Duterte administration actually point to more centralization of the national government — the complete opposite of what they’re advocating. Here are some examples. 1. National taxes have been rising, instead of declining, which could have helped prepare federal states to have their own income and value-added taxes, etc. Instead of lowering the top marginal income tax rate of 32%, it was even raised to 35%. Instead of reducing the VAT to 10% or 8% with few exemptions, the 12% was retained but... more »

The Goals of DACA

Ending chain migration and anchor babies at the same time as you grant limited residential status for those who filed under DACA is clearly insufficient, as most of us have predicted. And while liberal heads explode on CNN, the stock market soars and companies are doling out bonuses and raises to their ... more »
It’s Official PM Abadi and VP Maliki Will Run Separately In 2018 Elections
The Dawa Party officially announced what many were expecting the last month or so. The party said that it would not run in the 2018 elections, thus allowing its members to run separately. That meant that Prime Minister Haidar Abadi could run on his Nasr list and Vice President Nouri al-Maliki could maintain his State of Law. The party made this decision rather than break apart. As Harith Hasan al-Qarawee pointed out, Dawa feels that it needs to maintain control of the premiership to remain relevant. It therefore thought it best to keep the façade of unity despite the deep divide b... more »

Fake News and La Madera
The UFO community has had to put up with fake news for much more than a century. In 1897 there were a number of Great Airship stories that were printed by newspapers. The reporters and editors had to know that some of them were fake, but the interest was there, the stories were there and the bottom line is that newspapers need to make money. Hype a story that doesn’t deserve it, add details that the reporters invent and a few quotes to make the story better or just make it up completely. Aurora, Texas in the early 1970s.
