Other related posts at May 29, 30 and May 31. I knew the latest Minneapolis police incident would be front page news this morning. All I didn’t know was exactly what it would look like. Here’s the ‘above the fold’. There will be a lot more to say about this, and other similar news. We […]
This post relates directly to #227 – The Last Truck Out. My guess is that there are relatively few who truly believe that Perpetual War is the path to Perpetual Peace. Even those who recite the assorted ‘might is right’ mantras probably doubt the wisdom of this position. Tens of millions upon tens of millions […]
The emphasis of this post is the upcoming talk by Nurit Peled-Elhanan (see below). All I know about the talk and speaker is what you see below. To be clear, what the speaker will likely talk about is common in how national histories are conveyed. All who feel they’re part of a dominant culture or […]
Yesterday I watched an hour or so of Fani Willis’ testimony in Atlanta, and of course saw and heard much replay afterwards, which will continue through as many news cycles as it is interesting. I have an opinion, before turning on the TV this morning. I write 1100 miles from Atlanta, so I don’t plan […]
You may have heard that the Iowa Caucus is Monday January 15 (see comment from Larry at end of this post). More, if you wish, from the Des Moines IA Register: Iowa Caucus 2024. (For me, the most interesting data is on page 5 of the article.) If you’re not sure where Iowa is: Minneapolis-St. […]
The Sunday Nov. 12, 2023 Minneapolis Star Tribune carried a story about the upcoming Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora ND. You can read the article here: Theodore Roosevelt ND Star Tribune Nov 12 2023. The Library is scheduled to open in 2026. No, this isn’t a joke. I’ve known about its planning for some […]
This afternoon I turned on the television about the time the Tennessee legislature was about to expel one of its members, Justin Jones. The details will be all over the news, including the fates of two colleagues, Gloria Johnson and Justin Pearson. There will be more than enough detail on the regular news, so I’ll […]
The headline of today’s Minneapolis Star Tribune was hardly a surprise. Here it is, as found at our door this morning. I don’t find much point in commenting directly about the latest tragedies. There is an abundance of news. Tyre and the others are not the first and unfortunately not the last. I’ve commented on […]
My brief post on Monday (here) brought eight comments, all well worth revisiting. Among them was a note from Sonya: “I have been reading Strength To Love, a book of Martin Luther King’s sermons published in May 1964. Its pages are now dog-eared and full of underlined sections that I thought especially profound. I would […]
Today is the 37th Martin Luther King Day. MLK 1/15/29- 4/4/68 On Saturday, my friend Joyce sent along a message about the Jan. 14, 2023, New York Times, a column by Jamelle Bouie. I’d recommend that you read this column, here: NYT Jamelle Bouie Jan 2023. Bouie focuses on a sermon given by MLK […]
