No Evidence of Wrongdoing, But GOP Launches Impeach Biden Spectacle Anyway

September 12, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 44 Comments

Tropical Storm Kevin looms. (White House)

GOP-led congressional inquiries of presidential son Hunter Biden’s records to date have not shown any foreign payment to his father, Joe Biden, or any other evidence of wrongdoing. But yielding to pressure from hard-line members of the GOP House caucus, U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy today directed the top Republicans in Congress to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

Managers’ Attempts to Empower Their Employees Often Fail

September 11, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 3 Comments

employee empowerment

When companies design and implement empowering leadership initiatives, they often overlook key factors that are necessary for empowerment to work. Their efforts to empower employees often result in little impact or are entirely ineffective. In fact, they can even lead employees to engage in unethical behavior.

The destruction of the massive complex created a rare opportunity for New York City to rethink its long-term economic needs in the downtown area, while sending a message to the world that regardless of whatever al-Qaida terrorists aimed to do, New York City would come back stronger than ever. It was an unparalleled opportunity in the city’s history that otherwise would not have happened.

Do Unbiased Jurors Exist for Trump’s Trials?

September 9, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 6 Comments

jurors lies

Finding unbiased jurors in the pre-digital age, even in high-profile cases, was challenging but nothing like today. Once chosen, jurors needed to maintain that unbiased status and were told not to discuss the case with anyone and to avoid radio, television and newspapers. If the case involved the death penalty, jurors might be sequestered. Today, that same approach won’t work.

Nikki Haley’s Fascist-Flirting Flip-Flops

September 9, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 9 Comments

nikki haley trump felon

Haley won pundit praise for her recent GOP debate performance – at times she sounded saner and smarter than some of her rivals (an admittedly low bar). But then she hit the wall. She described Inmate #P01135809 as “the most disliked politician in America,” someone who would not be electable in 2024 – but she signaled, by raising her hand, that she’d still support Trump as the party’s nominee, even if he were criminally convicted prior to the election.

Even A Great Superintendent Can’t Fix a Clueless School Board

Clueless, the sequel. (© FlaglerLive)

If you think the appointment of LaShakia Moore as superintendent will make a difference, think again. Moore’s biggest job will be to run interference to save what’s left of this district from the Huns, because the problem was never with the administration or the ranks. It’s with the majority of a board that doesn’t know its role, doesn’t know its limits, and doesn’t know education from flip-flops. 

Beyond Corals, Marine Heatwaves Cause Chaos on the Seafloor

Over 90% of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases has gone into our oceans. (NOAA)

Over 90% of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases has gone into our oceans. So it’s no surprise marine heatwaves are getting much more intense and more frequent. This year has been off the charts. From April this year, the world’s average ocean temperature has been the highest ever recorded.

America’s Long Road to Meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals

September 7, 2023 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

Many colonias along the Texas-Mexico border still lack basic infrastructure, including running water.

A strong economy isn’t possible without a society peaceful enough to support investment and well-functioning markets, or without water and air clean enough to support life and productivity. This understanding – that economic, social and environmental well-being are intertwined – is the premise of sustainable development.

September 6, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis speaks to reporters in Atlanta on Aug. 14, 2023.

Some Republican lawmakers in Georgia are targeting Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Black Democrat representing a majority Black district, for removal from office. These efforts come in the midst of Willis’ investigation and prosecution of former President Donald Trump and 18 others for their alleged conspiracy to overturn results of the state’s 2020 presidential election.

Does Year-Round School Work? It’s Hazy.

September 5, 2023 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

ot much evidence shows that modified school calendars lead to better academic performance.

“Year-round” school usually doesn’t mean students going to school throughout the year – or for more days than other students. Often it just means switching up the calendar so that there’s not such a long summer break. Two experts discuss benefits and drawbacks.
