Did The FBI Hire And Place An Informer In The Trump 2016 Campaign? (Update)
*Kimberley A. Strassel, FOX News/The Wall Street Journal:* *Did the FBI place a mole inside the 2016 Trump campaign?* The Department of Justice lost its latest battle with Congress Thursday when it allowed House Intelligence Committee members to view classified documents about a top-secret intelligence source that was part of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign.

Why Singapore For The Kim - Trump Summit?
*Reuters:* *Trump, Kim summit in Singapore presents logistical challenges for North Korea* SINGAPORE (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s trip to Singapore for talks with U.S. President Donald Trump poses logistical challenges that are likely to include using Soviet-era aircraft to carry him and his limousine, as well as dozens of security and other support staff. The choice of Singapore as the site of the first-ever meeting of a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader was as much because it was within reasonable flight time and distance from Pyongyang as becaus... more »

Could America Pull Troops Out of South Korea If It Wanted?
*Ramon Marks* *Security, Asia* The implications could be catastrophic. Today the world waits to see whether toughened sanctions, hard nose diplomacy, and even exchanges of nuclear ‘red button’ threats have worked to persuade Kim Jong-Un to give up his nuclear arsenal. At the very least, these Administration initiatives appear to have played a major role in prompting what will be a remarkable summit conference between Kim Jong-Un and President Trump. Precedent exists. Some countries have given up nuclear weapons development programs voluntarily. South Africa and Brazil did so,... more »

The “Hero Cult” of Epicurus
Marble bust of EpicurusMartha C. Nussbaum, in *The Therapy of Desire: Theory and Practice in Hellenistic Ethics*, is full of praise for Epicurus’s ethical teachings. Her explanation makes it seem that Epicureanism is more conducive for achieving the Greek ideal of *eudaimonia* than the ethical teachings of Aristotle. But in the book’s Chapter 4, “Epicurean Surgery: Argument and Empty Desire,” she gives a glimpse of the “hero cult” that Epicurus had established. In Ancient Greece and during the Roman era, Epicurus was venerated as the savior of mankind by his disciples. Here’s an ex... more »

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to visit UK this weekend
Sky News report https://news.sky.com/story/turkish-president-recep-tayyip-erdogan-to-visit-uk-this-weekend-11365309 that the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is to visit the UK this weekend. Sky News manage to include in their report that: 'He has been widely accused of repressing perceived opponents in the press, academia and judiciary.' I see no similar report on the BBC. I wonder how many of the protestors who habitually oppose visits from Israeli politicians or indeed President Donald Trump will oppose the visit of this unpleasant leader of an unpleasant regime?

Chinese Military Deployments In The South China Sea Is A Challenge To The U.S.
*VOA*: *Chinese Missiles Challenge US in South China Sea * TAIPEI, TAIWAN — Chinese missile deployment in the South China Sea is meant as a challenge to the United States and its allies, scholars believe.

Marx's BF Juncker wants the EU to replace the U.S.
*He should reduce his consumption of ethanol* *Cornell theses*: Cornell University has adopted a new essential part of every thesis defense, a strip tease. An advantage of this setup pioneered by Letitia Chai is that the speaker can't be criticized for the length of sleeves of his suit, as I recently was. ;-) Well, Chai has previously had a similar clash about fashion preferences with her Prof Rebekkah Maggor (the surname means a moron in Czech). As Mr Pánek wrote in the MF DNES daily (and The Invisible Dog), Jean-Claude Juncker is a classic Soviet apparatchik. Aside from praising... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Large galaxies grow by eating small ones. Even our own galaxy practices galactic cannibalism, absorbing small galaxies that get too close and are captured by the Milky Way's gravity. In fact, the practice is common in the universe and illustrated by this striking pair of interacting galaxies from the banks of the southern constellation Eridanus, The River. *Click image for larger size.* Located over 50 million light years away, the large, distorted spiral NGC 1532 is seen locked in a gravitational struggle with dwarf galaxy NGC 1531 (right of center), a struggle the smaller galaxy w... more »
Trump's Congressional Warriors-- Untouchable?
Trump has the worst and most incompetent cabinet of any American president. And the most corrupt. By far. The fish rots from the head, right? And his supporters in Congress! What a bunch! We've talked a lot about Devin Nunes here... but there are others just as bad. Kyle Cheney did a little round up for *Politico* readers Monday. Short version: Matt Gaetz (FL), Ron DeSantis (FL), Jim Jordan (OH) and Mark Meadows (NC). DeSantis is running for governor of Florida in November-- more on that below-- and the 3 others don't have serious challenges for re-election. Here's are 4 with the ... more »

Chet Raymo, Robert Frost, “Desert Places”
*“Desert Places”* by Chet Raymo “If there is a cognitive disconnect in contemporary culture it is between cosmic space and time and human space and time. Those folks who can seriously grasp the scale and age of the universe, with its tens of billions of observable galaxies and billions of years of evolutionary time, and still believe the universe (or its Maker) attends to them personally - well, they are more daring thinkers than me. Or more credulous. Which is why, I suppose that nearly half of Americans believe the universe is less than ten thousand years old - which is to say, t... more »

"The Search for Truth"
"The Search for Truth" By David Chandler “Some people might wonder what motivates a physics teacher to get up and talk about religion and world issues. I am not a professional political scientist or sociologist or theologian. But I am a concerned citizen and a thinking person. To be a scientist does not mean you have to be a one-dimensional person out of touch with life beyond the lab. Physics used to be called natural philosophy. It is a branch of philosophy in that it is part of the quest for truth. The same thing that motivates me to ponder the true nature of the physical world ... more »

"Your Time Is Limited..."
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
