"...I have the slightest of acquaintances with Kellyanne (Conway), having been honored at the same event in Washington and enjoyed the pleasure of dining with her and her young 'uns.
No one other than the two principals can know the reality of a marriage, but I cannot imagine so loathing Donald Trump (which is after all a routine ailment throughout Washington, Manhattan and Beverly Hills) that I would be willing to do what George Conway is doing to his wife and the mother of his children.
Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman reports that Conway describes Kellyanne as "in a cult" and that their home life cannot heal "until she's cast out of the cult".
He is said to want to save his marriage, and, as all relationship consultants will tell you, the best way to save a marriage is to go on MSNBC and attack your wife's boss so that CNN can play it back to embarrass her in person a few hours later.
Who's the cult member here?..."

Psychologists Vow to Promote Climate Change “Corrective Behaviors” | Watts Up With That?
"Psychologists meeting at the International Summit on Psychology and Global Health event in Lisbon have decided to do everything possible to promote behaviours which help address the climate crisis.
Proclamation“We, representatives of national and international psychological organizations in attendance at the Lisbon Inaugural International Summit on Psychology’s Contributions to Global Health, are committed to ongoing collaboration in the application of psychological science to jointly advance progress on critical global issues, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals...

Michigan Capitol Confidential - Posts
"At a recent Ann Arbor school board meeting, teacher Alison Eberts recited the superintendent’s salary of $268,337 and then noted, “I’m not used to numbers that high.”
The compensation of some Michigan school district superintendents has also caught the attention of some lawmakers.
Republican State Rep. Matt Maddock introduced House Bill 5258 to prohibit school districts from paying superintendents a salary greater than four times a starting teacher’s salary at the district, or three times the average teacher’s salary at the district.
The bill was cosponsored by GOP Reps. Ryan Berman and Gary Eisen.
The average salary of an Ann Arbor teacher in 2017-18 was $71,546.
The lowest level of starting salaries for an Ann Arbor teacher is $41,342.
That would cap the superintendent’s salary at $214,638 (three times the average teacher’s salary).
The lower salary of four times the starting teacher’s salary was $165,368."

Impeachment Inquiry Public Hearings Leave Out Two Key Witnesses
Impeachment Inquiry Public Hearings Leave Out Two Key Witnesses:
The House Intelligence Committee’s witness list for this week’s public hearings in the “impeachment inquiry” omits two witnesses whose closed-door sessions last month provided exculpatory evidence for President Donald Trump.
It is not clear why they have not been included, or whether they will be called to testify publicly in future. Neither of the two witnesses were on Republicans’ proposed list; they were called by Democrats behind closed doors.

"A left-wing journalist in Sweden who vehemently supported mass immigration has changed her tune, admitting that when it came to Sweden’s crime-ridden no-go areas, “everyone knew it would end in disaster.”
Aftonbladet’s Lena Mellin now acknowledges that Sweden’s attempt to integrate huge numbers of migrants from Africa and the Middle East has failed.
