And another day of bombs, sentences, and scandals comes to a close:
“We have the means and the capacity to deal with our problems, if only we had the political will.” -- Kofi Annan
Mueller seeks six-month sentence for Papadopoulos, says he lied and hurt Russia probe.
“Trump is every bit as terrible a human being, and every bit as much a menace to the republic, as some of us warned when all the cool kids were busy snarking about Clinton’s emails.” — Paul Krugman
Officials worry Trump may back Erik Prince plan to privatize war in Afghanistan. The plan envisions replacing troops with private military contractors who would work for a special U.S. envoy for the war who would report directly to the president.
Bomb that killed 40 children in Yemen was supplied by the US. Our tax dollars at work, killing 40 children in our name.
Sex scandals fester at unhealthy organizations, experts say. When sex-abuse cases dominate headlines, a familiar pattern often emerges. If it took place at a large organization — be it a church, a large state university or a group such as USA Gymnastics — misconduct is often covered up in hopes of saving the institution's reputation, and the money that accompanies it.
Trump backed a "space force" after months of lobbying by officials with ties to the aerospace industry.
If you’re wondering why you’ve lost friends in adulthood, this is probably why. What a lot of people don’t appear to understand is that the single easiest way to make friends is to show up when it matters — and the single easiest way to lose friends is to, well, not.
RIP Kofi Annan. He was 80.
“We need to keep hope alive and strive to do better.” -- Kofi Annan
Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.
Until next time, my friends. Good night.
