The Long Game
Sep 16, 2020Would a Trump victory insure the nomination of a progressive by the Democrats in 2024?
With another loss by centrist, Debbie Wasserman-Shulz/Donna Brazile Democrats, perhaps the party would turn towards its Roosevelt roots.
Bernie would be too old. AOC too young and perhaps too polarizing. Liz Warren would be 75.
Is there a 50-something progressive in the house?

Exorcism or Prosecution? The Nimitz Loses a Sailor
Sep 11, 2020USS Nimitz Loses Sailor, Time for an Exorcism
A sailor assigned to the USS Nimitz, an American aircraft carrier on patrol in the Arabian Sea, was lost overboard on August 6th. The Nimitz is assigned to the Fifth Fleet, headquartered in Bahrain.

Her killer was not punished for the crime.
“*Phi Tai Hong
One of the most feared and most dangerous ghost types in Thailand is that of the Phi Tai Hong. Said to be ghosts of people who suffered violent or sudden deaths, Phi Tai Hong are angry and dangerous in their afterlife.*

In view of the Fifth Fleet’s troubles, a Buddhist ceremony to propitiate her angry, dangerous ghost might be a solution. The justice obtained through a nolle pros decision or a transfer to CONUS or even a general discharge is not enough to satisfy a phi tai hong.
Prosecute her killer. That’s what we do in the West when we don’t believe in ghosts.
