"Grave Faults..."
“Only the following items should be considered to be grave faults: not respecting another's rights: allowing oneself to be paralyzed by fear; feeling guilty; believing that one does not deserve the good or ill that happens in one's life; being a coward.

We will choose our enemies.” - Paulo Coelho

Adding to the misery, President Trump has attempted to ban Somali refugees’ entry into the U.S. Yet, as an academic who studies European and African state and nation building, I see three reasons for hope in Somalia. 1.

*Reuters*: *G7 ministers look to persuade Russia to abandon Syria's Assad* Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) major industrialised nations met in Italy on Monday, looking to put pressure on Russia to break its ties with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The Syrian government has denied it was behind the assault. U.S. President Donald Trump had previo... more »

Trump Attack on Syria Violates the Constitution and His Pledges
[image: trump-attack-on-syria-violates-the-constitution-and-his-pledges] President Donald Trump's attack on Syria last week was illegal and unconstitutional, legal experts and even many of his leading supporters argued, noting that the Constitution grants war powers to Congress and not the president. The attack was also contrary to Trump's own repeated pledges on the campaign trail to seek a constitutionally required declaration of war prior to launching military interventions abroad. In fact, Trump was a fierce critic of Obama's lawless and unconstitutional military machinations in... more »

This paper by Fatih Guvenen and Greg Kaplan is worth a read by anyone interested in inequality trends.

Top income shares based on measures of total income show a continued rise, whereas top income shares based on wage and salary income show no increase in inequality post-2000. The most important difference between these two measures of income is the income that accrues to S-corporations....

Trump also used the occasion to tout his “America First” economics, stating “our goal as a nation must be to rely less on imports and more on products made here in the U.S.A.” Trump seems utterly ignorant about global competition – and about what’s really holding back American workers.

Bill Nye not wanted at "March For Science": a wrong race, sex
*Extremist lunatics behind the farce want to outlaw white males* On April 22nd i.e. the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, radical left-wing activists plan to organize the March For Science where they want to reiterate Lenin's opinion that Marxism-Leninism-Progressivism is one (and perhaps the only) scientific world view. Willis Eschenbach at Anthony Watts' blog and William Briggs at Stream.org have had lots of fun with some developments that have turned the event into a truly ludicrous farce. *The most amusing development is that numerous enthusiastic and important organizers have attacke... more »

President Trump And His Generals
The photograph released by the White House of President Trump meeting with his advisers at his estate in Mar-a-Lago on April 6, 2017, regarding his decision to launch missile strikes against Syria. *Washington Times:* *Unlike Obama, Trump defers to generals’ advice on military strategy* The same President Trump who can be gruff and erratic in public tweets is a commander in chief who is deferential and attentive when he talks to a star-studded cast of his closest military advisers.
