South Korea Seeks Peace With North: Will US Sanction Seoul?
Are the neocons running circles around President Trump? His Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has opposed the president's moves to open dialogue with North Korea from the get-go. Now he has managed to scuttle a visit to Pyongyang by showing Trump a letter from a North Korean official that is reported to be "belligerent." That was enough for Trump to cancel Pompeo's trip. Meanwhile, South Korea is pursuing good relations with the North regardless of US backtracking. Washington is reportedly considering sanctions on its South Korean ally if Seoul continues on a peace path with Pyongyan... more »

On The Trump Regime's Hostility To Education And Social Mobility
Yesterday, Seth Frotman, the top government official (ombudsman) overseeing the $1.5 trillion student loan market resigned from the CFPB-- not just resigned, but resigned in protest over the Trump Regime's open hostility toward protecting the nation’s millions of student loan borrowers.

Are You Ready for the First Day
This week will see the first day for the school year in many communities. Time to ask teachers this question: Do you feel prepared? Periodically we get a survey of teachers about this question, and typically a fairly large number of teachers say, "No, I don't-- or didn't-- feel prepared when I first stepped into a class room." This is most typically offered as evidence that teacher preparation programs are stinky and need to be overhauled or replaced. I'm never going to declare that no teacher preparation programs are stinky (a few, in fact, are extraordinarily stinky), but I do th... more »

A Proposed Agenda for a New PCLOB
President Trump recently nominated Travis LeBlanc and Aditya Bamzai as members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), placing a full set of five nominees before the Senate and creating the possibility that the inquorate body could soon be revived.

Sartre’s Existentialist Twist to Husserl’s Phenomenology
Jean-Paul SartreJean-Paul Sartre read Edmund Husserl’s works on phenomenology when he was in Berlin in 1933 and he was immediately impressed. Husserl has shown that consciousness is consciousness of something. The mind is always engaged in *aboutness*: it has intentionality, which means that a mind can became aware of itself only by thinking about something. A mind that is experiencing nothing, imagining nothing, or speculating about nothing is not a mind at all. Sartre realized that Husserl’s phenomenology has the potential of bringing immense freedom to the mind. If we are nothin... more »

SOME LEFTIES ARE ILLIBERAL ON SPEECH, BUT ALL REPUBLICANS ARE ILLIBERAL ON DEMOCRACY
I've questioned whether Donald Trump has the will and the discipline to be a pure authoritarian, but democracy can suffer serious damage in regimes, like Hungary's, that remain nominally democratic. I agree with Paul Krugman that America is trending in that direction -- not just because of Trump, but because of the contempt for democracy his party has expressed since long before Trump became a politician. Just look at what has been happening at the state level. In North Carolina, after a Democrat won the governorship, Republicans used the incumbent’s final days to pass legislation s... more »

U.S. And Mexico Reach An Agreement On NAFTA. Canada Left Out (For Now)
*Reuters: **U.S., Mexico reach NAFTA deal, turn up pressure on Canada* WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States and Mexico agreed on Monday to overhaul the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), putting pressure on Canada to agree to new terms on auto trade and dispute settlement rules to remain part of the three-nation pact. Auto stocks soared and the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq rallied to record highs on the expectation that Canada would sign onto the deal and ease the economic uncertainty caused by U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to ditch the 1994 accord.

No One Should Believe Him
Yesterday, Donald Trump announced that he had reached a trade deal with Mexico. Like so much that comes from Trump's mouth these days, that simply wasn't true. Lawrence Herman writes: Telling the Mexican President that the United States might want to pursue a separate trade deal with them seems to have taken the Mexicans aback, Mexico never contemplating having to go up alone against the United States. It’s clear by now that Mr. Trump and his team don’t like dealing with Canada. That’s reflected in Canada being sidelined for weeks while the other two governments held high-level me... more »
EXCLUSIVE: Corbyn claims ISRAEL controls speeches by British MPs
Another day, another Jeremy Corbyn antisemitism revelation. 'Jeremy Corbyn claimed that Israeli officials control the speeches made by British MPs, in bizarre comments that have been called an 'anti-Semitic conspiracy theory' which 'casts Jews as sinister manipulators', MailOnline can reveal. The remarks were captured on video in 2010, at a meeting of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) in London. In a speech about the shooting of Turkish activists at sea by the Israeli commandos, the Labour leader said: '[British MPs] all turned up [to the debating chamber] with a pre-prepare... more »

Has God just sent the Jews the biblical signs they recognize to show them that the time has come for them to accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah or face their end at the hands of an army, e.g., the US army which knows all about their attempts to wipe them out through Ebola and biological warfare and kill this blogger for warning them?

BBC’s bias against Israel shows it is not fit for purpose per The Times
'The BBC's unique mandate means that it is supposed to operate according to strict editorial rules, including five public purposes, the first "to provide impartial news and information to help people understand and engage with the world around them". When it comes to the BBC's coverage of Israel, this purpose is clearly not being met: coverage is neither impartial nor informative. Today the Confederation of Friends of Israel in Scotland (Cofis) will back a UK campaign to raise awareness of BBC bias against Israel.

Theoretical physics remains a job for brains, not computers
I think that the quality of the content of the Quanta Magazine, a publication funded by a guru of mathematical physics and financier Jim Simons, seems to be dropping.

OK, once I saw the title and "James O’Brien for Quanta Magazine" near the top of the article, I was thinking: James, I've never heard of your name, but you seem to be a new clone of crackpot John Horgan who became notorious after he released his ludricrous book "End of Science" in 1996.
