New York (CNN Business) GM responded late Sunday to a series of angry tweets from President Donald Trump demanding that the automaker reopen or sell a plant it recently closed because of shifting customer demand. "To be clear, under the terms of the UAW-GM National Agreement, the ultimate future of...

Oh, I agree. But I also understand that grief can drive people to lash out.

:snippity: :snippity: :snippity: Same here, however this was a political act in a public place. It needs to be treated seriously. The week of the shooting a NZ government minister was assaulted in the street. Politics needs to be violence free. The eggee is Australian, and the egging occurred in Au...

More about the man who was egged: Anning was widely condemned for his first speech to the Senate in August advocating reviving a white-only immigration policy and using the term "final solution" in calling for a vote on which migrants to admit into the country.

For those who couldn't see the photo of New Zealand's PM in my post above, here it is. She joined the mourners, and to me her grief is open for all see. It reminds me of Obama at the service for Pastor Pinckney. NZ is fortunate to have her during this horrible time. D10WmaeX4AAc-nK.jpeg If this imag...

Yep. I've read his letter to the Muslim community at least 3 times because it's a vision of a community that gives me hope.

... probably only to have that feeling dashed on the rocks later. But still ....

The police commissioner just announced that 50 people have died and 50 are hospitalized, some of them in critical condition.

Not long after I posted the above, I read my emial from Foreign Policy and found this: FP’s Guide to Islamophobia In light of the terrorist attack on New Zealand mosques, here are some essays that help explain a global trend of Islamophobia and right-wing hate. https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/03/15/f...

While I agree that governments have focused far much on foreign Muslims and far too little on domestic terrorists, I think that's the wrong way to look at it. The White Nationalist/Supremacist movement is an international terrorism network, IMHO. They encourage each other, read the same books and sc...

Sad update from the PM: We believe that 40 people have lost their lives in this act of extreme violence. 10 have died at Linwood Avenue mosque. Three of which were outside the mosque itself. A further 30 have been killed at Deans Avenue mosque. There are also more than 20 seriously injured who are c...

Actually, to Muslims, Christians and Jews are special people who are to be treated with respect. Its in the Koran, you can look it up. :snippity: Yep. I read an English translation a gazillion decades ago to see why the family's pastor thought all Muslims were going to hell. There are creepy parts ...

Just got a news alert that Trump has grounded the planes.

According to some articles, at least some of the students didn't know what their parents were doing. Proctors changed the students' answers after the tests were turned in.

Thank you Dr. Ken, planning to watch this soon. Great having a millennial voice in the debates.

Tulsi Gabbard, millennial, was first up. (I didn't watch that part, of course. Later on a CNN show I saw a clip of her defending Assad yet again.)

Never heard of him, but I wanted to be sure he's not on my island.

Found his twitter and faceplace. He lives on the Kona side of the Big Island. Still reading the bible to his goats when he's not taking them to the beach.
