Imagine my surprise when Ruben Dua founder of Dubb asked me to be on his podcast but not to talk about the SPEAR SYSTEM, but to talk about Bruce Lee! Actually I was more honored and flattered...Bruce Lee had a huge impact on me. Thank you Ruben! 🙏🙏 https://t.co/2j8IG0r7dt

Who's Funding This?
No patriotic American should brandish or proudly celebrate the iconography of a rebellion that resulted in tremendous devastation, the loss of more than 620,000 American lives, and the continued subjugation of Black America. pic.twitter.com/wc0VxVOrxA

Plato on the Necessity of Wisdom
Habit is not enough? It is not sufficient for political life to be maintained if no one has understanding and wisdom, but this is an old debate between Plato and Aristotle, and I'd still go with Aristotle's response on the question of knowing the good.
Plato got it. pic.twitter.com/5ZuhKXIjcb

On orders of command? Or a spontaneous decision by the officers?

Where is the Donald?
A lot of conservatives and alt-lite people, and even a few to their right, are asking about the president's seeming inaction and lack of leadership over the weekend.
Is "federalism" a sufficient excuse? The governors themselves can mobilize the state/national guard in an emergency. Is Trump just revealing the incompetence of the (D) governors and mayors?
There is the claim that he can do something under the Insurrection Act. Is it true that Ivanka and Jared are asking him to hold back in order to protect his chances of re-election?

Jared and Ivaka's PR agent is Ms. Haberman. They leak to her for puffy pieces and also so she won't report too negatively on them.
So yes this is truthful reporting.
By "advisers," she means Jared and Ivanka.

Her Decision May Have Been Correct
Is she second-guessing herself because of criticism? And admitting that her motivation was fear, and not reason...
Some are not suited for the burden of leadership.

The Pope's Pentecost Tweet
How I desire that we Christians be more deeply united as witnesses of mercy for the human family so severely tested in these days. Let’s ask the Spirit for the gift of unity, for only if we live as brothers & sisters can we spread the spirit of fraternity. https://t.co/iylzrGvG3F
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) May 31, 2020
Living as brothers and sisters sometimes requires fraternal correction and maybe even recognition that some have cut themselves off from the life of Christ.

Milbank Said Something Recently Too
America is a mixture between a third world and a first world entity - it’s a hybrid of the most advanced and the most primitive behaviour - it’s elite live like nobody else in the modern world and it’s poor are treated worse than almost any other nation https://t.co/YSiORacqQb

Beneficiaries of a long-lived empire and its wealth really shouldn't be making judgments about other empires that haven't done as well, especially when that empire has a larger population that is also more ethnically diverse.
Leadership?
Or doing what is necessary to de-escalate?

How you did in this pandemic, as a country, a village, a business, a group, or an individual, whether emotionally, economically, or morally, is an indication of how robust you are and how fit you will be for the next decades.
