I've been with my Mom at the hospital as they treat her for signs of congestive heart failure and advancing dementia. Two floors below, our two kids who embody her values were born. The site of indescribable joy is also one of anguish I can't describe.

Will Pres Trump order SEAL Team 6 to deal with the outspoken Governor of CA Gavin Newsom if Trump thinks that Newsom is interfering with his executive actions to handle a national security emergency? Is calling Trump's actions 'deranged' enough to give an assassination order?

Trump hates globalism but loves big nation chauvinism in their respective spheres of influence. Trump includes Greenland in the US sphere to legitimize Putin putting Ukraine in the Russian sphere. People forget that the father of national economics Friedrich List was really a big nation chauvinist.

Mercantilism was not just a trade doctrine; it was also a population doctrine. The strength of the states was located in the size of the population. See Schiebinger on the agnotology of exotic abortifacients. Think of Trump's green card policy in these terms too. Neo-mercantalism. Henryk Grossman:
