18 Candidates. 72 Hours. A Hectic Weekend at the Iowa State Fair.
Democratic presidential candidates descended on Des Moines to meet prized
Iowa caucus voters, spend time with their families and, of course, eat some
food on a stick.
This does not look to be effective campaigning.
It is a necessary check box.
There are about six that did not show.

Matthew Whitaker, Ex-Acting Attorney General, Joins Cybersecurity Firm
Mr. Whitaker, a Trump loyalist whose appointment to the Justice Department’s top job drew scrutiny from Democrats, has taken on a string of jobs since leaving the administration.
Cyber security is an individual responsibility.

It is more secure than most.
Send me a return address.
I will be at the old address for several weeks as I heal again.

Inside the Government, Addressing Domestic Terrorism Has Been Fraught
For very different reasons, the Homeland Security Department under both the

After El Paso Shooting, Will Voters Revisit Beto O’Rourke?
The presidential candidate is back in the spotlight after a tragedy in a
city that is core to his personal and political identity.
I can't guess Beto O'Rourke's prospects.
He must win some delegates to the Democratic party convention.

U.S. Fencer, Race Imboden, Takes a Knee at Pan-American Games
Racism, mistreatment of immigrants and a “president who spreads hate” were
among the reasons he knelt, he said.
Give him his medal.

Why and When Good Wins
We live in a degraded Age. This isn’t to pretend that what came before was
good in all ways, but all too often we deny the power of good. We think
evil is smart, so good loses. Or we deny that good and evil even exist,
claiming they are spiritual or metaphysical constructs with no […]
The ends never justify the means.
Use just means.

Trump Administration Weakens Protections for Endangered Species
The Trump administration announced far-reaching revisions to the Endangered
Species Act, which was first enacted in 1973.
This must not happen.
There will be multiple suits.

Trump Rule Targets Legal Immigrants Who Rely on Food Stamps and Other Aid
A new rule is part of a sweeping policy aimed to narrow the demographic of people who come to live and work in the United States.Refuge is a right.
Trump is behaving unlawfully.
