Thanksgiving 2017 - Why There Is No Peace On Earth
[image: undefined] After the Berlin Wall fell in November 1989 and the death of the Soviet Union was confirmed two years later when Boris Yeltsin courageously stood down the red army tanks in front of Moscow's White House, a dark era in human history came to an end. The world had descended into what had been a 77-year global war, incepting with the mobilization of the armies of old Europe in August 1914. If you want to count bodies, 150 million were killed by all the depredations which germinated in the Great War, its foolish aftermath at Versailles, and the march of history into t... more »

There Are Reasons Why So Many Republicans Have Always Liked Dianne Feinstein
Harvey Milk was an old friend of mine. He was serving on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors with Dianne Feinstein when he was assassinated. He always detested Feinstein-- hated her even more than Dan White, the guy who murdered him and Mayor George Moscone late in November of 1978. I never met her by I felt like I knew her through Harvey. I never voted for her as a county supervisor or as a mayor or as anything else she ever ran for. Back in these early days of her political career, DiFi was a xenophobic asshole who was making her name as an anti-Hispanic/anti-Asian asshole. E... more »

*Summer Meza, Newsweek*: *When Will North Korea's Kim Jong Un Launch His Next Nuclear Test?* North Korea may be gearing up to launch more missile tests in February during the 2018 South Korea Olympics, just as soon as the worst of the nation’s winter weather warms up.

Back in my “Madmen” days, somewhere in the 1970s when I was a thirty-something copywriter, I was sexually harassed by my female boss. It happened at an office party. I can’t remember the occasion. It wasn’t a big party — just members of our creative group and a handful of people we worked with standing around bowls of potato chips and popcorn, sipping inexpensive wine from plastic cups.

Ireland On The Brink Of An Election With Brexit Talks Only Weeks Away
*Reuters:* *Irish government set to fall weeks before Brexit summit* DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland’s minority government looked set to collapse within days on Friday after the party propping it up submitted a motion of no confidence in the deputy prime minister, weeks before a summit on Britain’s plans to leave the European Union.

Scared Coyote Pup Trapped In Collapsed Den Freed By Construction Workers
When this baby coyote’s den caved in, construction workers came to the rescue. “While digging through a pile of bedrock to run through our rock crusher I disturbed a coyote den.
