kkirisciguest at Lawfare - 13 hours ago
Ekrem Imamoglu billboards celebrating his victory (Credit: Wikimedia) *Editor’s Note: This article originally appeared on *Order from Chaos*.* Following a repeat mayoral election in Istanbul on June 23, Turkish strongman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is not quite so strong anymore. If there is one thing worse than losing a close election, it must be losing the same election twice—and the second time with a much wider margin. This is what the Turkish president’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) experienced as polls confirmed that the opposition candidate and the new darling of Turkish de... more »

Virginia Woolf has a unique style of writing. I like the way she makes use of similes and metaphors in her sentences, which vary in length, some are short, while others are quite long, covering an entire paragraph, and at times incorporate symbolisms. Here’s an excerpt from Woolf’s *To The Lighthouse* (Part II, “Time Passes”; Chapter 3): But what after all is one night? A short space, especially when the darkness dims so soon, and so soon a bird sings, a cock crows, or a faint green quickens, like a turning leaf, in the hollow of the wave.

Thanks to this ability the Starfighter was a huge leap forward when strictly compared to the old subsonic and “forgiving” jets. Nevertheless when the air-to-air engagements took place at subsonic speeds, the lack of wing area put the F-104 at a disadvantage against more traditional fighters since its turn ability in this regime was critical.

When I was growing up, there weren't a lot of women's voices in the media. I'm old. But I remember always wanting to read Eleanor Clift in *Newsweek*, not so much because I agreed with her but because she was the only woman around writing about politics. She's even older than I am-- and older than Biden, Trump and Bernie. Now *Newsweek* has her writing for the *Daily Beast* and she's still a media representative of an establishment point of view. Yesterday, her post was sadly lame: Embracing Medicare for All Will Put the Democratic Party on Life Support. She doesn't understand and ... more »

Analyzing America's future, and our place in it

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
Let me begin by saying that in my sixty-something years on the planet, I've seen and done a lot - far more than most people, relatively speaking. (I've written about some of my experiences on this blog from time to time.) That wasn't of my choice; it was forced on me by an accident of birth (location and time) and a series of circumstances far beyond my control. I wish I *hadn't* experienced many of those things/places/people, but nobody asked me for my input! I learned a great deal the hard way, and learned also that the *same issues* very often result in the *same flashpoint... more »
