Not now, so your sentiment is generally correct. Here's the thing, there's obviously only so much Mr. Trump can control (they did kick him out after all). I think he gets back in and then they sabotage him again - in 2026. That's my current prediction. Trump has been burned once, but I don't think ...

The third Monday of April is traditionally celebrated in Massachusetts as Patriot's Day, commemorating the battles of Lexington and Concord which opened the Revolutionary War. This year? Trump goes on trial in New York? Tax day? Not sure it is in the right spirit. The Revolution was a fine crisis. I...

The narrative is that we are leading the charge to a better tomorrow at net zero without fossil fuels. The reality is that the US and other developed economies are no longer competitive enough to take the lion's share of the world's fossil fuels. The narrative helps to keep perceptions from catchin...

Does the Taiwan earthquake make an invasion more likely?

Doubt it. The time for recovery from an earthquake is small compared to the time to gather forces for an invasion. If China were to give a fast go, it would be picked up from space right quick.

Respect for human life is the issue. That's why you're so confused.

Not confused. You just believe you are Daniel Webster and can define a word to have one unique and binding meaning.

None of our current crisis issues are particularly lethal, at least until you come up with a definition of sentient that would apply to the first two trimesters. Your suggestion to use "sentience" as a criteria to justify abortion is not catching on. In fact, I haven't seen anyone else suggest that...

Yes, the difference between Great Britain's Protestant and Catholic cultures would seem small compared to Britain's and the Middle East's. If there is an instinct to hate, oppress and kill the different, someone with a different religion will be more familiar than someone from another continent. The...
