A cadre of generals have also told him thaty're not interested, including one of his favorites, Jack Keane. He's either stuck with keeping on the acting nitwit he has, Patrick Shanahan, or finding some TV actor to appoint and hope he can get him through the confirmation process. But prospective Pentagon chiefs aren't the only ones who hate Trump. This morning, Harry Enten reported for CNN that the majority of Americans are against Tr... more »

"Tell Yourself..."
“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.” - Louise Erdrich

I love "thrifting." This is one of my better finds. We're invited to a Robert Burns (Scottish poet) supper Jan. 25, and although I wasn't looking for a kilt, I found one in the women's section of Volunteers of America store on Henderson Rd. It's probably for a man or boy (rather skinny), and I'm hoping after resetting the buttons several inches, it will fit me. It isn't a Bruce tartan, but close--has some blue. But the price was right: 100% wool, made in Canada, $3.00. New, these can cost upwards to $1,000 if you have one made to order. [image: kilt]
The Patron saint of librarians
St. Jerome is the patron saint of librarians and archivists. "Although St. Jerome has been referred to as the second most voluminous writer (after St. Augustine) in ancient Latin Christianity, reasons for recognition of him as the patron saint of librarians and libraries as well as archivists, translators and encyclopedists emanated from traditional lore. A review of his life and work suggests several reasons for this title. St. Jerome’s personal library was considered to be the most important private collection of the period. He was a great bibliophile, interested in collecting ... more »

There Are Still People In Congress Who Remember That National Security Issues Are Bi-Partisan-- But Not Enough People
I don't read the *American Conservative* much, but Rand Paul pointed out a nonpartisan article by George O'Neill worth looking at last week, $100 Billion in Weapons to the Saudis Buys a World Full of Hurt. He emphasized that "the meaning of 'friendship' in Riyadh's case has been distorted beyond all reality." Sounding a lot like a Bernie fanzine writer, O'Neill reported that "On December 13, the United States Senate made history with a vote invoking the 1973 War Powers Act to stop America’s military participation in, and support of, the unauthorized and immoral war against the des... more »

U.S. Syria Withdrawal Impact on Kurdish Partners
On Dec. 19, 2018, President Trump unexpectedly announced that U.S. would withdraw its troops from Syria. To date, the U.S. has deployed around 2,000 troops to Syria, many of them Special Forces members and trainers, for the sake of combating the Islamic State. Trump’s decision represents a sea change in the U.S.’s Middle East and counterterrorism policy and holds special significance for Washington’s Syrian-Kurdish partners, who have been essential in the fight against Islamic State. Without the cover of an alliance with Washington, Kurdish fighters and their allies are vulnerable ... more »

WHAT TRUMP WANTS
Ezra Klein: If Donald Trump wanted the wall, he'd have negotiated away something of value to get it. Or at least tried to do so. He doesn't want the wall. He wants the fight over the wall. He wants to be seen going to war over the wall. That's what tonight is about. — Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) January 8, 2019 It's true that he wants the fight, but that doesn't mean he has no interest in the wall. He wants the fight *and* the wall. What he wants is to *win* the fight, which means Democrats lose, and lose badly. In this he's just being a typical Republican: To the GOP, anything tha... more »
