African Americans do seem less interested in astronomy and other sciences. Perhaps the solar eclipse is just giving them the distance they clearly want.

As I watched the eclipse, it was kind of a black white thing literally. At the peak, it got quite dark and the street lights came on. The crickets and Katydids started chirping. One woman told me the bats around her house began flying aso if it were dusk or evening. After, the peak, there were shadows cast on the ground that were created called snakes but they looked more like a scalloped pattern.
[Arutz Sheva] Former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton says that there is still a danger of a terrorist takeover of Afghanistan.
Former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton reacted to President Trump's announcement of a new strategy towards Afghanistan.
"The threat and danger of a terrorist takeover of Afghanistan remains. That's the fact" he told Fox Business.
Bolton added that "the fact is that we are still engaged there, we have been engaged there, but after tonight it is President Trump's strategy."
U.S. President Donald Trump announced Monday night that the American military strategy in Afghanistan and South Asia will shift from a time-based approach to one based on conditions.
"We will not talk about numbers of troops or our plans for further military activities. Conditions on the ground, not arbitrary time tables, will guide our strategy from now on," he stressed.

Bolton points to China's support of Pakistan and facilitating Pakistan's nuclear capability (not unlike the facilitation of North Korea's nuclear capability) as the source of much of the AFG problem.
[Breitbart] VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Francis on Monday urged countries to greatly improve their welcome to migrants and stop collective expulsions, saying migrants’ dignity and right to protection trumps national security concerns.
Francis’ politically pointed message was made in view of the Catholic Church’s 2018 world refugee day, celebrated Jan. 14. It comes amid mounting anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe and beyond following waves of migrant arrivals and Islamic extremist attacks.
In the message, Francis demanded governments welcome, protect, promote and integrate migrants, saying Jesus’ message of love is rooted in welcoming the "rejected strangers of every age."
He demanded a simplified process of granting humanitarian and temporary visas and rejected arbitrary and collective expulsions as "unsuitable." He said the principle of ensuring each person’s dignity "obliges us to always prioritize personal safety over national security."

Hey Frank - so using your logic, do the rights of the 1,000s of boys your priests ass-raped for DECADES trump the Church's need to cover it up?

BB - I thought I forgot commenting... Yikes. As a RC, NO, absolutely not. This is a shame the Church hierarchy should wear for at least a couple generations for the remembrance of the shame and to discourage the reoccurence forever...

Jesus’ message of love
When you ask yourself What Would Jesus Do?, remember that overturning tables and chasing people with a whip is within the realm of possibilities.

...The Republican Party once was the party of conservatives. It still is the only place any conservative can be elected in today’s political world. So far. Unfortunately, the party of Reagan has disappeared. Trump did not make them disappear, but his improbable run, and win, has revealed who the party really is.
And it ain’t pretty.
It’s been apparent for a while that they are the stupid party. But I never thought they were this stupid.
It’s been apparent for a long time they had Stockholm Syndrome. Captured by the left, they have been cowed into being spineless mushes afraid to be called names. But I never thought it was this bad.
It’s been apparent for a while this is a party interested in taking a back seat, as long as they get money, perks, and some kind of fame. But I never thought it was this corrupt.
Something has gone very wrong since Trump ascended. And it’s not him. He’s virtually the only one trying to do the right things. At this point, it’s clear we have a combination of sick factions in the GOP, and none of them give a damn about the party’s voters, none of them give a damn about the principles they claim to have stood for in the past years, and none of them have a clue about what they are doing.

Pigs at the trough. Nothing more to it, sadly. Except the traitorous ones like McStain. They do it just to show that they have power.

They have far more in common with the Democrats than they do the American people. Call them the Beltway Party, or the Uniparty, whatever. They don't represent the people who vote for them, that's for sure.

Uniparty or Weimar Party. It's a tough choice what to tag them with.
[Daily Caller] Democrats lack a deep bench for the 2018 and 2020 elections and "badly need" former President Barack Obama to return to public life, according to several Democratic strategists.
Brand Bannon is one strategist who has argued Obama needs to take a more prominent role in the Democratic Party, the Hill reported Monday.
"Democrats badly need Barack Obama," Bannonn said. "He offers such a vivid contrast to Trump in behavior and temperament."
"He always sounded reasonable and acted responsibly even if you disagreed with him," he said. "None of the potential Democratic presidential candidates have the visibility or credibility to be effective."
The former president is expected to campaign publicly for Democrats in the 2018 election cycle, as he did during 2016. He has already been involved in fundraising efforts. However, his reentrance into public life will be a "delicate dance," one aide told the Hill.
Didn't notice the lose of seats at national and state levels has he? I don't think he understands the mean of the word 'badly'. However, when your entire election strategy is to promote identity over substance and demonize most of white America, what else do you have?
[Diplomat] When the British partitioned India and departed the subcontinent 70 years ago, the delineation of the border between the new states of India and Pakistan -- the Radcliffe Line -- had not yet been released. That would have to wait two more days.
Although the boundary was finalized on August 12, it was published on August 17, 1947, ostensibly to avoid confusion on independence day itself, and in order to buy more time to manage the chaos that was sweeping throughout the provinces of Bengal and Punjab. The Earl Louis Mountbatten, the last British Governor-General of India, also allegedly did not wish for the question of the boundary to take precedence over the independence day celebrations he would preside over in Karachi and Delhi. As a result, when India and Pakistan became independent, some border districts incorrectly believed themselves to be one or the other of those two countries, when in fact, the opposite was the case.
How was the border between India and Pakistan decided? The basic principle underlying the border, and the decision to partition India itself, was the two nation theory, the main proponent of which was the All-India Muslim League, a movement that represented the Muslims of British India. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the movement’s leader, expounded on the theory in a speech in Lahore in 1940:

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
