America is the only country where you must be sensitive to the sensibilities of atheists.--J.D. Roark
Chris took the dog to an emergency room. The wait was as long as for people. He had a UTI.
Mom has had a great time with the Kanes.
Somebody described the "collusion" search as this generation's WMD.
A study shows that the majority of Americans polled are in favor of stricter gun control. That might change tomorrow--and that is one reason why the constitutional protection exists.
The U.S. is now an net exporter of energy.
Am I right? Did the woman of New Zealand really adopt a symbol of women's suppression to show solidarity with the people of their attacked mosque?
Bernard-Henri Levy describes his new book as a reminder of America's origin and values. A Frenchman feels he needs to do this. Like Tocqueville? He thinks that the Europeans should replace the American troops in Syria to protect the Kurds but doubts the populist movement will allow it. His book offers the thesis that there are "five kingdoms"--Turkey, Iran, Russia, China and Saudi Arabia/Sunni Terrorists--who are not afraid of war and who will fill any vacuum that the Americans allow to occur with their withdrawal from engagement with the world.
There is a story that Russian troops have landed in Venezuela.

I'm sure there were nuances and legal points. I'm sure, while there are many such events with similar appearances, those events have their own distinguishing particulars. But all these events have a unifying element they share with the infamous Simpson trial: They are all jury trials. And, in our modern world with its eagerness to expand individualism and populism at the expense of representative forms--e.g. Brexit and uprooting the Electoral College--is there any better example of democracy in action than a jury trial?

On this day in 1774, British Parliament passes the Boston Port Act, closing the port of Boston and demanding that the city’s residents pay for the nearly $1 million worth (in today’s money) of tea dumped into Boston Harbor during the Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773. The Boston Port Act was the first and easiest to enforce of four acts that together were known as the Coercive Acts. The other three were a new Quartering Act, the Administration of Justice Act and the Massachusetts Government Act.
One Man.....
In Pittsburgh, another policeman accused of an unreasonable shooting of a black suspect was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. Those who hoped for violent outrage were not disappointed. I was not there and know little of the testimony. (The victim was fleeing a drive-by shooting and was unarmed when he was fired on and killed by a pursuing policeman. He was shot in the back.)
