WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? This was tweeted about her feet being on the chair. What about the people in the room? WHY IS SHE EVEN THERE?! THIS IS DISRESPECTFUL TO THE ENTIRE ROOM OF PEOPLE. Everything about her presence says she doesn't acknowledge these people with any respect, not even to be the slightest bit. Her posture says their presence is not worthy of any recognition at all, to at the least sit properly - not like a child. I wouldn't let my children do this. I'd use code words for my point but I don't know them. You know what I mean.

In a Walt Whitman Novel, Lost for 165 Years, Clues to ‘Leaves of Grass’

Exciting! New Walt Whitman. Not a successful piece at the time, it is of course always a delight to find new work from a renowned master. “This is Whitman’s take on the city mystery novel, a popular genre of the day that pitted the ‘upper 10 thousand’ — what we would call the 1 percent — against the lower million,” said David S. Reynolds, a Whitman expert at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York." “It’s like seeing the workshop of a great writer,” said Ed Folsom, the editor of The Walt Whitman Quarterly Review. “We’re discovering the process of Whitman’s own discovery.”

George W. Bush Throws Shade At Donald Trump

W!!! Actually weighed in in public! "The 43rd president called for a “welcoming” immigration policy and underscored the importance of a free press during an interview with Matt Lauer on the “Today” show. “I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy,” Bush told Lauer. “We need an independent media to hold people like me to account. Power can be very addictive, and it can be corrosive.”

‘The Daily’: Carlos’s Secret

Great piece! A podcast, audio with links. Southern Illinois. "Today we’re in West Frankfort, Ill., where my colleague Monica Davey, the Chicago bureau chief at The Times, heard about a recent episode involving one man in town — a case that has shaken the whole town’s beliefs about politics, identity and immigration." "Rednecks" (term from a local in the story) are standing up for Carlos, letters from the mayor of West Frankfurt IL and the president of the Rotary Club, citizens, locals are upset. Carlos is a highly valued pillar of the community, dedicated to the community - fund raisers etc., everyone knows him, everyone respects him, no one says anything against him. They voted 70% for Trump, but now it's time to reflect - Carlos was taken on a chance encounter by ICE, a collateral capture - they weren't after him.

Donald Trump's war on media is 'biggest threat to democracy' says Navy SEAL who brought down Osama Bin Laden

The Navy SEAL, now retired Admiral, who planned and oversaw the operation to get bin Laden is acutely aware of history. He's the president of University of Texas Austin, here speaking to journalism students. "William H McRaven, who was commander of the secretive Joint Special Operations Command, was delegated responsibility for the dangerous mission targeting the al-Qaeda leader by the CIA in 2011." And my point exactly: "Senator John McCain, who served in the US military before moving into politics, has also criticised Mr Trump's stance on the media as dangerous. In an interview on NBC News, he said attacking the press is “how dictators get started.” - Independent EXACT!! 😖 “In other words, [it is] a consolidation of power,” Mr McCain told Meet the Press host Chuck Todd. “When you look at history, the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press. And I’m not saying that President Trump is trying to be a dictator. I’m just saying we need to learn the lessons of history.” And also on point. Trump has no idea. Thanks Jeanna Funkhouser for the story. Had to find the source myself, there was no link in the Real Politics article.

Kansas City bar shooting kills Indian, attacker shouted ‘get out of my country’

Words matter President Trump. Of course he will take no responsibility for his own rhetoric. This is NOT my America. Blessings and speedy recovery to the American guy who acted to stop the shooting and got shot himself. That IS my America. And NO, this incident does not support the importance of the interpretation of the Second Amendment as an armed society. One in which any angry drunk can lash out with lethality. An armed person can not prevent an ambush or surprise attack, or could have saved this man. Others were saved by an unarmed man. The collective society must stand up and act in the face of violence - strength in numbers, not bullets. I'm not anti-gun. I simply don't have faith in them as an answer, because of people - "guns don't kill, people kill". Exact!

Trump Embraces ‘Enemy of the People,’ a Phrase With a Fraught History

"Language of autocracy". Wow. In plain English. Why I think Trump is dangerous and terrifying: he speaks the language of, actually quotes from, Lenin, Stalin, Mao... But he doesn't know it, also unnerving... "She added that, in all likelihood, Mr. Trump had not read Lenin, Stalin or Mao Zedong, but the 'formulas of insult, humiliation, domination, branding, enemy-forming and name calling are always the same.'” - NYT I have been terrified by Trump's rhetorical style for some time. It echoes totalitarianism. But Trump has no clue in my opinion.. "Enemy of the people" is such a toxic phrase that the fierce Khrushchev banned it's use, it's too powerful and absolute - ideologically vacant, so you can't fight it. “The formula ‘enemy of the people,’” Mr. Khrushchev told the Soviet Communist Party in a 1956 speech denouncing Stalin’s cult of personality, “was specifically introduced for the purpose of physically annihilating such individuals” who disagreed with the supreme leader." - NYT ... "By using the phrase ['enemy of the state'] and placing himself in such infamous company, at least in his choice of vocabulary to attack his critics, Mr. Trump has demonstrated, Ms. Khrushcheva said, that the language of “autocracy, of state nationalism is always the same regardless of the country, and no nation is exempt.” - Trump Embraces ‘Enemy of the People,’ a Phrase With a Fraught History, NYT

A reminder for my Charlton Heston haters. Watch your mouth, park your attitude! He was there when it mattered - in the Civil Rights Movement and not just the March on Washington in the pic below. Read what you will, like sheep, into a single poorly timed statement. (And an awesome photo). I will never forgive that piece of crap Michael Moore for how horribly he treated an elderly Mr. Heston while sitting in the man's own home. Chuck had graciously invited that crap into his home when Moore showed up uninvited at the door. They sat down together comfortably and Moore accosted Heston to the point that the old man silently struggled to stand and walk away. In the man's own home! Wish Buzz Aldrin had been there to punch Moore in the face. Michael Moore has since solidified himself as a grandstanding, opportunistic, pig. I do not abide by disrespectful behavior, well, unless I'm arguing with my husband. Oops!

Bobby Seale, the eighth man charged, had his trial severed during the proceedings, lowering the number of defendants from eight to seven.

"Trump is no revolutionary, at least not in the Lenin’s sense of the word. He doesn’t seem to care about ideology, and he’s no ascetic. But fundamentally, their goals are not that different." "Indeed, the president’s chief strategist, Steve Bannon, has himself cited Lenin as an influence. Writer and historian Ronald Radosh wrote in the Daily Beast that Bannon approvingly told him in 2013, “Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.” Source:

Learning the Singapore Way of Topping Global Education Rankings

First, money. Second, kids first - value of education process, not simply quantifying the success. Third, teachers. They aren't bullied I think. Latitude and resources. Classes are tiered so that teachers can go at a pace suitable for the class. Teachers are able to identify and offer extra help for failing students. Which is something all teachers strive to do but do not have the time or other support mechanisms in place. "One of the most unique traits of Singapore's education system has been the streaming of schoolchildren at a young age for classes that offer faster or slower paces of learning that suit their abilities based on their exam performance. Students in the express stream will take just four years to complete their secondary school before moving on to either junior college or a polytechnics, which is why the express stream is seen by parents and students as the most promising route to enter local universities. Students in the normal academic stream will take five years to complete their secondary education. Despite the criticism it has received in the past, proponents of streaming argue that it allows educators to teach at a pace more suited to the students and give them more attention, ensuring no one falls through the gaps of the system. Singapore's school teachers also provide extra coaching for students who are struggling with math, especially those in the weaker streams. "Generally if you go to any school, our teachers will conduct additional lessons if the students need it," Ridzuan said."
