    What’s happening in your life? Mine is the debut of my wife’s deeply personal book of love, marriage, widowhood, and grace. On Weds she and Elaine Pagels will be on Zoom, sponsored by Politics & Prose. The title is “Ghosting.” Sailers know the term.

    Dem candidates pleading for money are sounding like they’re already defeated. Sure, the big, bad GOP isn’t playing fair. Obama kept his cool and survived. In this round, there are too many Dem crying like babies.

    Obama in Glasgow reminds that science and nature have no party affiliation. Fire doesn’t pick and choose the houses to burn down.

    1/2 The Balkan War of the ’90s was long & bloody, but the U.S. successfully spearheaded an international force of diplomacy backing military force, crucially with Russia, to bring down Milošević and Serbia back in a peaceful Europe.

    1/1 With all the tut-tutting over failed U.S. wars for over the decades, there have been little of the Bay of Pigs. It wasn’t not just a fiasco but after Cuban nuclear crisis.

    It would be laughable if it weren’t deadly.

    Draft law introduced in 's State Duma that would ban equating Nazi Germany and Soviet Union. That, invariably, will lead now to comparisons of Nazi Germany and Soviet Union. And just in time for VE Day. Well done, State Duma.

    Good to see going to Kyiv next week. He can convey 2 messages: - support for in conflict that has inflicted on it, and - need for Ukrainian government to do more on reform, anti-corruption measures and curbing influence of oligarchs.

    We’ll never know whether America could have won if Bush had concentrated on Afghanistan rather than extending the war to Iraq on false claims.

    Congrats, Norm! The rescuing goes two ways: he gets a nurturing home, and you get his appreciation.

    I am so sad. During my tenure as Ambassador in the US, I was privileged to have Vernon Jordan among those I could turn to for informal and always helpful guidance. I lost a wonderful friend. For me, he represented the essential American dream

    The countless leaders who turned to Vernon Jordan for guidance did so because when he spoke, you could hear in his rich baritone the belief in an America that was capable of becoming an ever-more perfect union. It was a journey he’d lived.

    Wow - on Trump in an interview w - “We need to acknowledge he let us down. He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

    This is classic Trump. He thinks he can be the decider. Wrong.

    What a read! One snippet: The truck driver who claimed to carried thousands of phantom ballots to Pennsylvania turns out to have bouts with the law, involuntary stints in mental institutions, & a sideline as a ghost hunter. Just the witness for Giuliani.
