If this does not happen tomorrow night

Then we can start talking about science denial as a stronger position.

Given that we've been successfully predicting eclipses for a long time now, this does not seem to be a likely candidate for the denialists to lean on. It's not even "will it happen?" - We know the length and how much will be in shadow at each point in time.

Good piece, referencing Lincoln's contemporary critics, and clarifying his status as a pragmatic moderate.

https://medium.com/frame-of-reference/abraham-lincoln-was-president-he-was-moderate-99991d2fc15f

So Lincoln pragmatically and moderately ordered the mowing down and plowing in of whole fields of rebels for year after year ongoing until they agreed to set aside their arms and rejoin the Union.

Jan 6 was our Sumpter. Bannon and Prince and Flynn are competing for the role of Stonewall Jackson. I am waiting for the moderate and pragmatic action now comprehensive, punitive, and spectacular enough to forstall the moderate and pragmatic exchange of lead, bombs, and drones in towns across the country that the right wing seditionist yahoo dirtbags of our day are steadily dragging us toward.

What Lincoln did not have was a DHS, FBI, Patriot Act, or RICO laws.

If Jeff Davis and friends were all busy on different chain gangs, does the south even manage to succeed? In authoritarian structures, like hives and nests, you can do immense structural damage by removing all the potential queens.

That is the current moderate pragmatic approach. Just ask Liz Cheney.

Get help.

Wake up.

Go with what really works, zealot.

Drink up!

But hold the cream and sugar, honey, and all that other crap you people put into your cups!

A study released today by researchers at Tianjin Medical University says healthy individuals between the ages of 50 and 74 who drank two to three cups of coffee or three to five cups of tea per day, or a combination of four to six cups of both per day, had the lowest incidence of stroke and dementia among 365,682 study participants.

How you fight extremists. IN COURT.

That is one way. We should do a lot more of it right now. It is one of the best ways, but it is not the only way and it will not be enough on its own.

Thank you for this and other recent links - I am using a bunch of them for my Current Events class and they are both timely and apropos.

We need for Americans to work together as a team to help other Americans, and we need to put America first.

And the people in Government need to be part of my team, the Government needs to be full of my friends and family and of good people who are on the side of the American people. I need to feel like my Government is working for me.

Our Government needs to be "Of the people, by the people, for the people."

Salute,

Tony V.

You're welcome.

Just a question, though.

Probably you do this, but shouldn't your students be gathering those events more than you are?
