*Asterisked-- The Worst President In History by Nancy Ohanian* Satan's doorway into American Christianity has always been through the hucksters, charlatans and cranks who make up the leadership of the evangelical movement. And then came Trump... and the next step. *Washington Post* reporter Sarah Bailey wrote about the rise of so-called Patriot Churches last week. Today they are "praying for a Trump landslide [and that] 'communism and socialism and transgenderism and homosexuality and abortion will not have their way in this land.'...

* Black Education Matters* Most Americans would probably be shocked and angry if they knew all the dirty tricks used to sabotage charter schools that are successfully educating low-income minority children. This is not "systemic racism." It is plain old selfishness on the part of traditional public school officials and teachers unions protecting their own vested interests. Most of us might see charter schools that succeed where traditional public schools have failed as welcome news, especially in minority communities where there is so much bad news. But, when there are a million ...

The U.S. Department of Interior announcement just days ahead of the Nov. 3 election could lead to resumption of wolf hunts in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin -- a crucial battleground in the campaign between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.

Bad News: Iran’s Centrifuge Assembly Plant is Going Underground
Andrea Stricker, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Andrea Stricker* *Security, Middle East* The saboteurs responsible for the blast likely expected Iran would rebuild and locate a replacement facility underground but still thought the moment opportune to set back Tehran’s centrifuge program—and perhaps under a favorable U.S. president. The director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael M. Grossi, confirmed in an interview this week that Iran has begun replacing a key centrifuge assembly plant that a massive blast destroyed in July. Known as the Iran Centrifuge Assembly Center (ICAC), the ruined plant ...

I've been a fan of the Moody Blues since their beginnings (and yes, that dates me, too, because they got their start in the mid-1960's!) In recent decades they haven't had great commercial success with their new albums, but their older work has stood the test of time, particularly their seven "core albums" from 1967 through 1972. These have long been recognized as the most representative of the group at its best, despite later successful albums, and stand alone in its discography as a distinct cluster of work. I've chosen one lesser-known track from each of the core seven albu...
