I'd been seeing the NY Times get less stupid about Trump,so I thought maybe yeah. I should have checked with friends. The usual suspects don't have local support and the army has promised there will be elections.

<cont> The pledge was universally interpreted by Western media outlets as a total ban on voting..." quote from 'Two Worlds link to full article: twoworlds.me/latin-americ...

"In his national address on July 19, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega stated that when the country’s next elections take place in 2027, none who promoted a violent anti-government insurrection in 2018 will be allowed to stand for office. (continued)

Serving isn't as important as knowing who knows what you don't personally know in depth. See Lincoln. Grant ended up being a poor president because he trusted comrades in arms too much.

Wilde learned that one the hard way by letting Lord Douglas talk him into attacking the Marquis of Queensbery, little Lord Douglas's daddy, who threw some private detectives on the case.

The problem is if you attempt to terrorize people into submission, you're making yourself look too dangerous to submit to. Germans at the end of WW II wanted to surrender to the Americans because the Russians had memories of atrocities to revenge. Germany had never invaded the US.

If it had been happening in 1972 or earlier, someone trying to break through the anti-war protester's picket lines at Columbia would have told us. I've talked to veterans since and none of them threw that one at me, just some wishes that we should have done things differently, and sighing by both.

If this had happened in real time and air, someone would have told us at the picket lines at Columbia U. On guy told me the Vietnamese hanged a downed pilot. This is plausible because of other accounts of North Vietnamese troops having to rescue downed pilots from angry civilians.

Most of the anti-war protestors were respectful of people who'd been through that wringer. Never heard or read about spitting until well after the war ended, in the late 1980s and later, generally from students who were hearing this in ROTC or conservative clubs.

The idea that Vietnam would keep prisoners after the official end to hostilities seems improbably since there were tourists from the US and Vietnamese going and coming.

Cultures don't remain static. The translator was perhaps more true to the text and a particular archaic culture as Europeans before WW I imagined it. The film was a response to a glorification of the Greeks meant in the classical scholars before present day. I preferred Euripides.

Go watch "Machete" which provides the best prediction of who really runs cartels since some of the Miami Vice episodes.

An acquaintance in New York had a father who got cancer and was forced to continue to go to work at Macy's. His coworkers covered for him, but had to hide this from management. Son was still bitter about this years later.

Sounds like it was Kentucky only, perhaps.

Has an MD, but failed to pass the board exams for his specialty. Same as getting a law degree and failing to pass the state bar exam.

Ran Paul's class rank at Duke isn't known. He failed to pass the board exam to certify as a member of his specialty board so invented a board or his own.

AI doesn't work as advertised. One photo stock agency started using AI for photo searches and they've been comically incorrect. Wrong countries, wrong guns, misidentifying my selfies as witches from the 1970s and 1980s.

A lot of resorts anywhere are common denominator destinations. Most people who are very rich have their own yachts and every harbor competes for their business. As the Russians say, "ni kulturny"

Tourism is low wage jobs. Nicaragua has been doing better with less tourism. Second, most people go to the tropics to escape winters and the mountains to escape heat, and to places with a lot of visual pleasures for pictures of tourists in front of famous things.

Vet said female vulva with castration scars. From what I've been reading maybe XXY, gender non-conforming. He had to sedate the cat to find the scars without getting scratched hands.
