McConnell Is Literally Making The Pandemic Worse
Kentucky hasn't been hit too hard by the pandemic yet-- just 8,951 confirmed cases-- 2,004 cases per million. The residents are lucky that they have a governor willing to listen to public health experts and not a crackpot right-wing fringe motivated by Trumpist incompetence, personal ambition and dysfunction. The state's senior senator-- actually the junior one too-- aren't taking the pandemic seriously. And the senior senator matters-- he's Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. a self-described Grim Reaper for anything meant to help ordinary working families. Having become a ... more »

*"Humans do not know how to live in the world of wonder and poetic imagination. Even artists, painters, poets, movie directors and playwrights tend to portray the crudest, most repulsive reality in their art – as if we were not already all too familiar with such things.

After The Civil War, The U.S. Army Nearly Went Into Collapse
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* The U.S. Army of 1876 was a far cry from the fighting force that had won the American Civil War a decade earlier.

A penny-pinching Congress reduced the numbers further, until in 1874 its authorized strength stood at 25,000 officers and men.
