The Lights Weren't On and No One Was Home
Historically, churches have been sanctuaries since before there was Christianity. In fact, the concept goes back to the days of the ancient Greeks and Romans. When Christianity began its rise, they offered their own sanctuary laws as a means of countering the rival pagan religions. In Boston, Massachusetts, for instance, churches were a smoldering hotbed of abolitionist activity, even going as far as to offer sanctuary to escaped slaves and heavily contributing to the Underground Railroad. However, in 1623, James I abolished the sanctuary laws and, a century later, it was ... more »

NYT's Journalist Justifies Looting, Property Damage
Tuesday, the author of the ahistorical “1619 Project” Nikole Hannah-Jones, made some disturbing arguments justifying violence to PBS’s Christiane Amanpour. She claimed it was “immoral” to call looting violence. Destroying property which can be replaced is not violence. And to put those things -- to use the exact same language to describe those two things, I think really is not moral to do that. We're 13% minority in majority white country. We are descendants of people that were enslaved in this country. So ultimately our protest is only as successful as we can convince white Amer... more »

After Adolf Hitler’s audacious invasion of Russia finally ground to a halt in December 1941 on the forested outskirts of Moscow, the exhausted German Army stabilized its winter front in a line running roughly from Leningrad in the north to Rostov in the south.

*Desmond Lachman* *Economics, * A prolonged period of Eurozone economic weakness will constitute a strong headwind for the rest of the world’s economic recovery.

Do We All Look Alike?
“You all look alike,” is what people told me when I was a kid growing up. As an Asian American in the Midwest in the 1970s, before diversity was “a thing,” I was always aware my family was different — and difference was not celebrated. I laugh, or try to, now if anyone accuses me of identity politics. They have it backwards: I struggled to assimilate, to avoid being marked by my heritage. I understood to be accepted by my peers, I had to forsake my ancestors.

Poor Neighborhoods Are Only Getting Poorer
The latest maps of coronavirus cases in the U.S. confirm much of what we already know about the economics of location: People in poor neighborhoods have it worse. Health care isn’t as accessible, the ability to socially distance is less, and many residents fall into the role of essential workers, unable to work from home. What new research shows is that number of poor neighborhoods in metropolitan areas has actually doubled from 1980 — and most existing low-income areas only fell deeper into poverty. In two reports released by the Economic Innovation Group this month, researcher... more »

Retreat Was Not an Option: This Battle Made Oliver Cromwell Dictator of England
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Cromwell at Dunbar by Andrew Carrick Gow. 1886.] At the Battle of Dunbar in 1650, Cromwell found his army trapped by a Scots army twice its size during the English Civil War. In July 1637 few Scots or English would have guessed the result when Edinburgh minister James Hannay preached from the Book of Common Prayer, and street merchant Jenny Geddes threw her footstool at his head. “Devil give you colic in your stomach, false thief,” said she, “dare you say the Mass in my ear?” The Book, mandated by King Charles I, was a liturgy... more »

Concorde: Why the World’s only Supersonic Jetliner Stopped Flying
*Caleb Larson* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2003%3Anewsml_RP3DRIJWMKAA&share=true] The Concorde’s death reads like a soap opera: a fatal accident, terrorism, and a dearth of spare parts. The Concorde was many things. Innovative and supersonic, it held numerous commercial airline speed records and was the fastest way to travel internationally. Despite several world records and the fastest service money could buy, the joint French-English developed Concorde flew for less than 30 years. Concorde was done in by a combination of... more »
Iran Is Rebuilding Its Faux Target Carrier And Getting the Details Wrong
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] In 2013–2014 the Islamic Republic built a large-scale U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, which it used in dramatic fashion in its February 2015 “Great Prophet IX” exercises, which took place near the Iranian naval base at Bandar Abbas.

All Mammals Breathe Air!
A: "Cats breathe air." B: "ALL mammals breathe air!" B's statement is true, but unhelpful. It is best understood as a snarky way of saying, "I already know that." The snark is understandable if we assume that A's intention is to *inform* B of something new, because it's kind of insulting to be presumed not to already know that cats breathe air. Everyone knows that! Yes, everyone knows that. And everyone knows that everyone knows that, so it's equally insulting to presume that A doesn't already know that B knows cats breathe air. So when someone tells you that cats breathe ... more »
