What a shock; the right-wing kook who opposes illegal immigration was here in violation of our immigration laws.

How do you say hypocritical flake?

When half of his former cabinet members do not support his candidacy, I can't imagine why anyone would. KH is not only not my first choice, but she also would not appear in the top 1000. Nevertheless, we all need to support her.

We contacted all 42 members of Trump’s Cabinet, asking each of them whether they supported his presidential bid. They are deeply divided.

I just finished "Fat Leonard, How one man bribed, bilked and seduced the U.S. Navy"

I've been appalled for years about the lack of integrity and honor in the Seal community, and now something has come to top it. This is a fascinating book about how little it takes to bribe someone and how the powerful leadership model of the Navy was brilliantly used against our country, to the point of many tens of millions in overcharges and the exhibited corruption of hundreds of Navy officers, including numerous Admirals.

This is a very touching story. RIP Jimbo, we have your back.

..."A massive body of scientific literature, most accumulated over the past century, shows that group decision-making is almost always superior to decision-making by charismatic individuals or small groups of people who’ve managed to ringfence resources that give them great wealth and power over others."...

All these rich and powerful men think they’re “secret geniuses”; once they’ve concluded the “truth” of their own infallibility, they stop listening to those whose opinions contradict their own

Friday is the 6th anniversary of losing my son Jimmy. Four of my former partners, Steve Hackerman, George Fleming, Tommy Fibich, and Kevin Leyendecker, came together to commission a small statue of Jimbo. It was completed recently, and these are photos of the completed statute.

I've also enclosed a couple of my favorite photos.
