Scam on UN-Federal government "grant"
Last week I got a friend request in fb from Curtin Winsor Jr., I accepted because he's a former Atlas Director. But I noticed that his profile has no work or profession, no address, no posting. Then he said that he's helping friends secure a $100,000 and up grant from the UN and US federal government. Purpose is to help people start a business, repair a house, etc. then he gave me a tel no. that I must text and he will follow through. I inquired what's the name of that office, address, email add to write inquiries, he said there's no email add, only a number where he also got a $10... more »

Of Habeas Corpus and Emily Maitlis
Under the greatest of England's medieval kings, Henry II, England gave birth to the concept of Habeas Corpus. And English common law enshrined the presumption that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Both concepts crossed the Atlantic and were adopted by the United States of America. Is all that long-fought-for progress starting to slip? Here's *Newsnight*'s honourable but ambitious Emily: As several respondents have pointed out, the missing word here is "alleged". Which leads me to another tweet:

Banking on Cooperation: The U.S. Government and the Finance Industry Need to Work Together to Defend the Financial Sector from Cyber Threats
The private sector—which owns and operates the vast majority of U.S. critical infrastructure in cyberspace—and the U.S. government are in lockstep that cyber threats to critical infrastructure have national-security consequences. What more, they agree that both must do more to defend critical infrastructure in cyberspace. On Sept. 20, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told CNBC that “cyber” represents the biggest threat to the global financial system. But as Dimon sounded the alarm, the Pentagon’s 2018 cyber strategy summary put the ball at least partly in his industry’s court, sta... more »

She walked away from the Democrats after the 2016 election, guest blogger Etana Hecht from Israel
During the campaign, politics became a passion of mine. I had CNN on all the time, and I loved the debates, loved diving into Twitter and FB conversations, and like so many others I was really excited about having a woman as president. As the elections got closer, I was confident she would win, like so many others. I spent a few evenings before the election with a like-minded friend, making campaign calls in districts that were still considered toss-ups. My story isn’t unique in the disbelief and honestly, horror, I felt as the day went on (It was morning here in Israel) and the r... more »

The Learning Path
Everyone has their favorite metaphor for understanding education. This is mine. An area of learning is a block of territory-- let's call it a square ten miles-- to be explored. Some of the territories are well-traveled, tramped flat by the footsteps of a million people who have gone before. Some are rougher, more untamed, more filled with little-examined places. Our method of exploring these territories is our process of learning. The classroom teacher sets out a path for students to explore the territory. There may be places to stop and rest along the way, and the path may have be... more »

The Second American Civil War
Tom Friedman writes that he grew up in the 1960's when the United States was divided over Vietnam. But what's going on now is much worse than the divisions of the '60's: There is a deep breakdown happening between us, between us and our institutions and between us and our president. We can’t find common ground on which to respectfully disagree; the other side is “the enemy.” We shout at each other on television, unfollow each other on Facebook and fire verbal mortars at each other on Twitter — and now everyone is on the digital battlefield, not just politicians. And nothing is sa... more »

Anaximander’s Theory of Evolution
A 3rd century mosaic showing Anaximander holding a sundial2500 years before Charles Darwin, people were wondering where human beings came from.

He claimed that life sprang from the sea, and that human beings were initially hatched from a race of fish-people. He talks about the fish-people rearing human babies.

America's Biggest Failure in Afghanistan and its Global Consequences
As the war in Afghanistan drags on, approaching its 17th anniversary, we find that the Trump Administration, the third Administration that has fought America's longest war, is adapting this policy which was shared with the American people in August 2017: "*In Afghanistan and Pakistan, America’s interests are clear: We must stop the resurgence of safe havens that enable terrorists to threaten America, and we must prevent nuclear weapons and materials from coming into the hands of terrorists and being used against us, or anywhere in the world for that matter.* *But to prosecute this... more »

Gregg Jarrett: If Rod Rosenstein defies Trump's order to declassify documents, he should be fired

This fool needs to be fired forthwith, or alternately to be drafted immediately into service in Antarctica where the only damage possible is immediately suicidal.
