But there is even more to this. Deep mystery. We are the universe aware of itself. We let the miracle get lost in distractions.

Donald Trump Has Little Chance of Becoming Grover Cleveland
Fred Lucas, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Fred Lucas* *Politics, Americas* The perhaps faulty presumption is that Trump will seek to emulate Grover Cleveland who lost in 1888 only to come back and win re-election in 1892—the only president with non-consecutive terms.

One president faced almost unhinged political opposition and media coverage that cast his election as illegitimate before he lost his bid for a second term. Another president was a rabble-rouser always raring for a fight, and constantly airing grievances until he was impeached in an elect...

Fake or Real News?
Robert, Small Dead Animals - 17 hours ago
A friend in Vancouver sent me this news story about Biden’s first phone call with China’s dictator, insisting that this shows that Biden is taking the correct approach to effect change over there. Am I the only one who questions whether any part of this article is accurate about what they actually discussed?
