Tankers last movement was before the strikes on Iran?
The top brass pep rally today seems pretty disconcerting.

Agreed, Trump likely advocated something or other. As China decides whether a Pacific war kicks off and China is doing well with the Tariff remake of the international economy, the ...

I was flipping though old files when I bumped into "For Thou Art With Us", an account of the towers collapse from someone who was near them on September 11. It seems that we have compartmentalized the events of that day. The emotional content has been put away, subverted by a ton of stuff that has ...

Back can college, I took a an intro to philosophy course. On the first day, the young professor started out with a non philosophical problem. A man was looking for a squirrel on a tree.

I'd like to think that the people living under various autocratic governments are aware that democratic ones are better for the people. They just don't have the gumption for the revolution it takes for the transformation.

We're not as overwhelming as we used to be and our collective adversaries are much stronger than ever before. We need a massive increase in leadership quality across the board if we hope to even have a chance. But hope is cheap and we're already looking at something like Navigator described in his ...
