"Collusion? There's plenty of it. As we've noted repeatedly in the last year, the conflicts of interest and criminal collusion between Hillary Clinton's State Department, the Clinton Foundation and the Russians, among others, are numerous and profound. They warrant a thorough investigation. Why Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been tasked to look into the pathetically trivial meetings between the Trump camp and a handful of Russians — not a violation of any law we're aware of — is inexplicable."

Professor: Students Are Becoming Moral Nihilists | Intellectual Takeout:
"The Problem
One thing I’ve learned in my years of teaching in the U.S. is that many young Americans are moral relativists.
As students in elementary and secondary schools, they were taught that there is no moral fact of the matter.
Thus, when people disagree about moral issues, their different perspectives are equally valid.
It would be wrong to criticize anyone from another culture who sees things differently.
For example, my son’s high school English teacher wanted her students to say that child slavery in Ghana is morally permissible, the unstated premise being that there are no absolute moral principles that apply to all cultures at all times and places.
In my college teaching, I often encounter the results of such thinking.
...I often describe female genital mutilation, practiced in places like rural Sudan and argue that it is immoral because it is painful, involuntary, can lead to infection and death and removes the possibility of feeling sexual pleasure.
Thus, this practice is immoral.
But my students frequently respond, “That’s just your perspective.
The Sudanese would be unlikely to agree with you.”
Students enter my classroom believing nothing is truly good or evil and that moral beliefs are the result of what society says.
...Teachers are apparently so worried that moral disagreements will lead to conflicts that they teach that “everyone is entitled to their opinion.”

"On Monday, scientists revealed that Uranus opens and closes on a daily basis in order to release Earth's solar wind.

...According to scientists from Georgia Institute of Technology, Uranus' "magnetosphere flips on and off like a light switch — every single day." International Business Times reports:
In what could be described as its “on” position, the planet allows solar wind to flow into it. In its “off” position, the planet deflects solar wind by closing up. The process occurs each and every day, the scientists said...

Fight for the Future Offers $15K for Full-Time Anti-Trump Activists - Breitbart:
"A group of anti-Trump activists is offering potentially as much as $15,000 to full-time political activists to help in the resistance against President Donald Trump.
"A group of anti-Trump activists is offering potentially as much as $15,000 to full-time political activists to help in the resistance against President Donald Trump.
“Terrified about Trump?
Quit your job, start an A-Team.
We might just fund it,” readsFight For The Future’s A-Teams project page.
The A-Teams project offers as much as $15,000 for the first month to political activism teams to fight a wide range of social and political issues listed on the website, including, “Healthcare / ACA, Climate, Immigration, The Wall, Corruption, Racism / Fascism, Police, Prisons.”
...Further down the page, however, the funding description becomes slightly less promising: “To start, we’re going to select some of the strongest teams for funding.
So if you’ve got a 2-3 person A-Team and a target, you should apply.
We’d potentially give you $15,000 for the first month, just to see what you can do.”
...Essentially, none of the funding for this project is guaranteed..."
The Dumbing Down of ‘Dunkirk’ - WSJ
The Dumbing Down of ‘Dunkirk’ - WSJ:
"On May 28, 1940, Winston Churchill held a meeting of his government’s ministers.
“I described the course of events and showed them plainly where we were, and all that was in the balance,” Churchill later wrote.
“Then I said quite casually . . .: ‘Of course, whatever happens at Dunkirk, we shall fight on.’ . . . I was sure that every Minister was ready to be killed quite soon, and have all his family and possessions destroyed, rather than give in. . . . There was a white glow, overpowering, sublime, which ran through our island from end to end.”
“Dunkirk,” opening in theaters Friday, is noteworthy in many respects.
Not least for its creator’s decision—on the interesting ground that it would make things clearer for audiences—to avoid any appearance of Churchill.
...When an event in history has become, in the mind of a writer, “universal” it’s a tip-off—the warning bell that we’re about to lose most of the important facts of that history, and that the story-telling will be a special kind—a sort that obscures all specifics that run counter to the noble vision of the universalist.
...No wonder those German Stukas and Heinkels bombarding the British can barely be identified as such.
Then there is Mr. Nolan’s avoidance of Churchill lest audiences get bogged down in “politics”—a strange term for Churchill’s concerns during those dark days of May 1940.
...There was, for Churchill, no acceptable accommodation with Hitler.
He knew the disastrous impact on British morale of any word of talks or arrangements with the Nazis.
They would instead hear from their new prime minister only the iron determination to defeat the enemy, the confidence that it would be done—which had not a little to do with the strengthened spirit of the British public.
...Left out of this saga is any other sense of the importance of Operation Dynamo, the unexpectedly successful rescue of 338,000 soldiers who could, instead of being marched off to captivity by that barely visible enemy—call it Nation X—return to an England desperate for manpower.
...It’s possible of course that a director less apprehensive about appearing old-fashioned might have risked an actual clip of the prime minister without undue harm to the audience.
In the bleak days of 1940, Churchill told his cabinet: “If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each of us lies choking on his own blood on the ground.”
If Batman ever said anything remotely as interesting, he’d have our devoted attention."
