TIL that the famously wealthy King Croesus asked the Oracle at Delphi if he would win a war with Persia. The Oracle responded that if he attacked, it would mark the fall of a great empire. Croesus attacked, and the great empire that fell was his own.

Found this on reddit. Sound familiar?

Hang in there. I send not to like her, but she has put herself clearly in the Hate Trump camp.

Opinion | Trump Does Anything He Wants — and More

Read her today, though.

Lincoln quote: "“We can succeed only by concert.… The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise—with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.”

Also you guys, Abraham Lincoln! When he was on his song he really delivered the goods, wisdom that resounds throughout the ages.

Preach, Marcie!

The Foreign Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 8) of the U.S. Constitution prohibits federal officeholders, including the President, from accepting gifts, payments, or titles from foreign states, kings, or princes without congressional consent. Designed to prevent foreign influence and corruption, it applies broadly to any "Office of Profit or Trust". * Brennan Center for Justice +3

We must DEMAND to know what this alleged gift to Trump was. This is an impeachable offense.

Unfortunately, Snopes.com is now full of ads, but here’s the quote:
“The rumor, however, was false. Cassella did not say what the posts claimed she did, and the interaction never took place.”

Reporter told Trump 'I ask questions, not permission'? Widely shared posts claimed a CNBC reporter snapped back at Trump, saying, "Sir, you are the president, not God."

Someone just posted this fake story: www.snopes.com/fact-check/r...
I could not comment because the poster had blocked comments.
I know it’s fake, because Megan is my much loved niece. There is enough true stuff worth posting: we don’t need this.

Does anyone have a Truth Social account? No reason, just wondering.

No topless crinolines allowed.

Those bone spurs must really be acting up. What else causes one side of your face to droop? Gotta be them bones spurs.

If you have Prime or Apple TV, this movie is a heart-breaking view of present day Gaza, Teheran and Beirut. Recommended by Mandy Patinkin.

For some reason this is illegible to me.

Tell us who. We want to get rid of him.

So good, but please let’s also credit the great cartoonist, Barry Blitt.

Another of my heroes gone.

This article is 5 years old.

Thanks. As a Go player I was particularly interested. I am enjoying your book, a Christmas gift I have only just now got around to. As a former programmer, I was pleased to see reference to Dijkstra and John McCarthy, two heroes of my youth. And I loved the word ouroboric.

Oh, and my chats are always open.

I don’t know how else to contact you. On page 16 of Playing With Reality, you mentioned John Conway, but neither the notes nor the Bibiography can help with the source for your intriguing mention. Can you please help?

This is real, as also reported by Heather Cox Richardson.

One, two, three, what are we fighting for?

Sad.
