Sunday, March 3, 2019

And another day of hate groups, an interesting travel agency choice, suicide, tornadoes, and Facebook getting in bed with politicians comes to a close:

“Leadership is a privilege to better the lives of others. It is not an opportunity to satisfy personal greed.” -- Mwai Kibaki

Rand Paul's vote likely gives Senate enough to oppose national emergency declaration.

House, Senate panels looking at whether pardon was discussed with Michael Cohen.

Why Are Separated Families Told They Must Use a Tiny Georgia Travel Agency to Reunite? No one can explain why. Not even Southwest Key, the nonprofit shelter that keeps telling refugees they have no other choice.

Hate groups have increased by 30% in the past 4 years, reaching an all-time high, according to a report released by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Facebook's whole business model hinges on collecting data and breaching users' privacy, so it comes as no surprise to learn that the company has been currying favor with politicians around the globe to stymie legislation that protects people's privacy.

In April 2017, Juana Tobar Ortega was ordered by ICE to self-deport to her native Guatemala by May. Instead, she moved into a nearby church where she sought sanctuary. She has not stepped out of the church since.

Worldwide the suicide rate is down by 29% since 2000. In America it's up by 18%.

You've probably heard of identical and fraternal twins. But a new report says there's a third kind -- sesquizygous or "semi-identical" twins, so rare that only two cases have ever been identified.

At least 14 dead after tornadoes touch down in Alabama and Georgia.

A 30-million page library is heading to the moon to help preserve human civilization. At the moment it doesn’t feel like it’s worth preserving.

“When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.” -- Dalai Lama

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
