One reason Rob Reiner’s death was so shocking is that he was a living embodiment of a gentle, righteous, kind humanity. Trump’s reaction, meanwhile, was an embodiment of his inhumanity, vile as it is. We all get to choose which one we would want to be. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
