On United States foreign policy.
I long for the days when our Presidents at least listened to the advice of their foreign policy experts, and even more long for the days when our foreign policy experts were actually experts. Nowadays, contravening this chain of logic, politics seems clumsily to enter and dominate at every point.

I do support our current expert, Rex Tillerson, who has decades of pragmatic experience under his belt. This supersedes most academics with only theoretical experience, politicians whose watchwords are expedience and votes, and lawyers armed with only guiding reflections coming from litigation.

On Judge Moore.
The Alabama Senate race
pits judge Joe Moore, widely accused of sexual harassment in his past, versus Doug
Jones, the Democratic challenger. It is
not clear who will win, but in the case Moore prevails, he may be first seated
in the Senate, then forced to resign, then the Alabama will appoint a replacement,
which just may be Luther Strange, the currently appointed senator. What a strange turn of events that would be. 😊
It is likely Moore is
aware of this, but he soldiers on regardless.
Loyalty until demise, has been the fate of many, many players in human
history.

Light and Dark.
Yesterday it snowed in College Station, TX. It was the earliest I can remember in many years in TX. But that is strictly a
white matter matter.
On another end of things, there are now
challenges to the established science of dark matter* matter. Like legislation, science also a sausage
making phase. In this case, if the
theories of astrophysicist André
Maeder prove true, it would ruin years of work, reputations, and expense of attempting
to find this elusive dark stuff – needed to hold the universe together.
