Cheri Bustos' Anti-Primary Rule-- A Complete Farce
*Last year Dan Lipinski won his general election with 163,053 votes, Cheri Bustos won hers with 142,659 and Ilham Omar? She won hers with 267,703 votes. Now THAT'S enthusiasm* The execrable Cheri Bustos still claims her rule blackballing anyone and everyone who works with any Democratic candidate who challenges an incumbent in a primary is based on a desire to save the freshmen. She's lying. The decision to ban primaries against incumbents was decided on after AOC beat Joe "the next Speaker" Crowley and after Marie Newman came within a tiny handful of votes of beating Bustos Blue D... more »

The Wacky Story of How China's Navy Got Aircraft Carriers
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * China was proud to launch its first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, in 2012. This vessel was a refit of an incomplete Soviet Kuznetsov-class cruiser carrier. However, the story of how China got that ship in the first place may as well be a comedy—because the carrier was actually a rogue acquisition for the Chinese military against the wishes of the government in Beijing. *Key Point*: So if there’s a moral to the story of the *Varyag*, it’s not to expect too much gratitude for your good deeds . . . and always keep the receipt. China was proud to l... more »

On Politics and Culture
Politics and culture two dimensions of the social reality—they often travel in different directions. The political party that wins the electoral battle can find itself ceding ground in the cultural space. In countries, where the conservatives tend to win most elections, the cultural institutions become liberal over a period of time—while in countries, where the liberals (leftists) win most elections, the cultural institutions acquire a conservative character. Therefore, even if your favorite party is victorious in the election, it does not ensure a win in the cultural battle.

How Corporate Bankruptcy Works
*Lindsey Simon* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] About 23,000 companies went out of business in 2017. More than 20,000 companies file for bankruptcy every year. Although companies follow many different paths to bankruptcy, each one encounters a process that is carefully designed to balance the rights of debtors and creditors. As I’ve learned from studying and practicing bankruptcy law, the system is not perfect, and sometimes outcomes seem unfair. But bankruptcy is definitely not a “get out of jail free” card for companies deep in debt. *Making the Best of a Grim Situation*... more »

To be human is to become visible while carrying what is hidden as a gift to others. To remember the other world in this world is to live in your true inhe... more »
