  1. Mike Pompeo fails to bring Jamal Khashoggi scandal under control [Click] "Trump’s fix backfires as Saudi Arabia and Turkey dig into opposing positions." Could this be an October Surprise? The Turkish Republic has always had an independent foreign policy; that should be no surprise to anyone, least of all the area experts. Oh…the State Department area experts were fired…oh.

  2. Is Fraud the Trump Organization’s Business Model? [Click] Hardly news, but this sets it out unusually well.

    Wages Are Low and Workers Are Scarce. Wait, What? [Click] The low unemployment rate and stagnant pay point to a depressed economy underneath.

    1. The article seems to imply that at some point in her life Warren claimed "Native American" as her racial identity. If she did, that's wrong. But to someone who understands genetics, the main point is that the media misinterpreted the data from 123&me. Otherwise, so what?

      but my grandfather Shikelamy turned out to be French, And perhaps the woman he married from the Cayuga tribe was also a European captured in childhood, because 23 ^ me says my DNA has no trace of Native American. . . . So even with names, dates, tribes and being able to trace yourself back, no guarantees, eh?

    4. Ancient graffiti can be most informative. I remember some years ago archeologists were excavating underground somewhere near the Vatican, I think it was about where tradition had it that St. Peter was interred. They found a small crypt (I guess that's what one would call it--nothing grand at all and among others in an old catacomb I think), and a graffitum scratched into it: "Hic Petrus." (Here Peter.) I thought it was also interesting about the remains of autumnal fruits being found in the Pompeii also--I don't recall hearing that before.

      listener--back during HRC's second presidential campaign, every once in a while I found that I had typed her name as "Clingon." The "G" key is right next to the "T" key but still!
