“Love Is as Strong as Death”
*“Love Is as Strong as Death”* by Uri Avnery "Oh, Gaza. Strong as death is love. I loved Gaza. That is a play on words. The Biblical Song of Songs says that love is strong as death. Strong in Hebrew is Aza. Aza is also the Hebrew name of Gaza. I have spent many happy hours in Gaza. I had many friends there. From the leftist Dr. Haidar Abd al-Shafi to the Islamist Mahmoud al-Zahar, who is now the foreign minister of Hamas. I was there when Yasser Arafat, the son of a Gazan family, came home. They put me in the first row of the reception at the Rafah border, and that evening he recei... more »
On The Aesthetic Experience
Arthur Koestler, in *The Act of Creation*, shows that the aesthetic experience is the presence and interaction in the mind of two worlds, one real, one imaginary. A stage-play, like a magic carpet, transports the spectator from the trivial present to a special world of imagination and this enables him to transcend his immediate thoughts and anxieties. Here’s an excerpt from Koestler’s *The Act of Creation* (Chapter 15: “The Power of Illusion”): To revert to Aristotle, the cathartic function of the tragedy is 'through incidents arousing horror and pity to accomplish the purgation ... more »
Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau On Trump Tariffs: ‘Insulting And Unacceptable’ That Canada Seen As Threat To U.S.
*WNU Editor*: I live in Canada .... so I have been exposed to how the media and this country's political class is reacting to President Trump's decision to impose tariffs. To say that it has been 100% hostile is an understatement. And am I surprised by all of this .... no. President Trump has been very clear on Day One on what are his views towards trade and U.S. trade deficits .... and how he was going to correct it. A little while back I gave a presentation to some people who pay me to listen to my views .... and on the issue of trade I was especially specific. President Trump do... more »

Exercise vs. weight loss and pretty dresses
So which is it? Eat less or move more, or both. For me that formula seems to change with each birthday. I joined a fitness club through Silver Sneakers probably late December or early January. I remember the weather was bad and I couldn’t walk outdoors, so I wanted to be able to walk on a treadmill. At Lifetime Fitness I do 2 miles on the treadmill 3 days a week, and 1 mile on 3 days to which I had 4-6 weight resistance exercises on machines to strengthen my core and arms.

New Book From Former Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes Reveals How President Obama Felt About 2016 Election
*FOX News:* *Obama was shell-shocked by Trump win, asked 'What if we were wrong?,' new book says* President Barack Obama was veritably shell-shocked in the wake of Donald Trump's election victory in 2016, and even asked aides “What if we were wrong?” as he struggled to come to terms with Hillary Clinton's defeat, former adviser Ben Rhodes writes in a new memoir coming out in June.

Like most Communist bloc aircraft, its NATO code name was unflattering (“Fantan”). Its forebears were also less than auspicious: the Q-5 and its cousin, the J-6 fighter, were based on the Soviet MiG-19 (NATO code name “Farmer”), whose intensive maintenance requirements and difficult handl... more »

A dependent society is a dystopian, Orwellian society
That appears to be the core of Aaron Clarey's argument in an article on his blog. It's depressing, to say the least, yet the evidence of it is all around us.

I've personally witnessed it as a pastor in many inner-city areas of our nation. Here's what I think is the core of Mr. Clarey's case. As I said, it's depressing: but I've always found the first step towards addressing - and perhaps changing - reality is to confront it head-... more »

Does the EU Have a Death Wish?
Consider the Italian crisis that blew up this last week. As the right populist Northern League and the Five Star Movement, perhaps the most pristine example of petit bourgeois radicalism seen anywhere, were negotiating the arrangements for coalition government, Matteo Salvini of Lega Nord couldn't resist the theatre of political grandstanding. He goaded the establishment by nominating Paolo Savana (a well known euro rejectionist) for finance minister, and was duly rejected by Italian president, Sergio Mattarella. Mattarella, it is worth noting, is as establishment as they come. Sta... more »

"The Only Absolute..."
"Never perceive anything as being inevitable or predestined. The only absolute is uncertainty." - Lionel Suggs "Humans may crave absolute certainty; they may aspire to it; they may pretend, as partisans of certain religions do, to have attained it. But the history of science- by far the most successful claim to knowledge accessible to humans- teaches that the most we can hope for is successive improvement in our understanding, learning from our mistakes, an asymptotic approach to the Universe, but with the proviso that absolute certainty will always elude us." - Carl Sagan
Scientific Method
The scientific method is restricted to testing the known physical reality in the here and now. Prophesy is restricted to foretelling the future which is always tomorrow and hence the unknown. Climate change forecasting is prophesy, not science.
The Poet: Linda Pastan, "What We Want"
*"What We Want" * "What we want is never simple. We move among the things we thought we wanted: a face, a room, an open book and these things bear our names- now they want us. But what we want appears in dreams, wearing disguises. We fall past, holding out our arms and in the morning our arms ache. We don't remember the dream, but the dream remembers us. It is there all day as an animal is there under the table, as the stars are there even in full sun." ~ Linda Pastan, "Carnival Evening"
