What Happens if You Refuse to Recognize That We Are in a Death Spiral? You end up in a place of denial, much like an addict who can’t see the wreckage they’re causing. You might notice things aren’t “feeling good” anymore, a general sense of unease that permeates daily life. This is often the first sign, a creeping dread that something is fundamentally wrong. But rather than acknowledging the problem, the response can be to lash out, to blame everyone else, to become defensive and aggressive.
Refusing to see the decline means you’re missing the big picture, the context, the patterns that have been repeating themselves.… Continue reading

US President denies knowledge of SEAL massacre in North Korea. Well, here we go again. The story, as I understand it, is this: a New York Times report details a classified 2019 SEAL Team 6 mission in North Korea that ended with the killing of unarmed North Korean civilians. And what does the former President say? He claims he didn’t know “anything” about it. Now, that’s a pretty bold statement, isn’t it?
This whole situation raises some pretty immediate questions, doesn’t it? I mean, we’re talking about a highly sensitive, classified operation involving a military incursion into another country. You’d think the President would be in the loop on something like that.… Continue reading

Prosecutors plan to recommend a prison sentence of possibly more than four to five years for Combs, citing fraud and coercion as aggravating factors. They argue that his conviction for a crime of violence necessitates detention prior to sentencing unless the judge finds “clear and convincing evidence” against flight risk or danger. Furthermore, prosecutors maintain that Combs remains a threat to the community, referencing a recent assault and his possession of materials for a “freak-off” sex event. They also stated that they could not find a case in which a defendant was released from custody after such a conviction.
