Notably: It was on this day in 1970 that Nixon ordered the secret and illegal invasion of Cambodia, triggering that country’s descent into chaos and, between 1975 and 1978, Pol Pot’s genocide of one third his own people, until it was stopped–ironically–by a Vietnamese invasion. Nixon and Kissinger’s actions led to war crimes, directly and indirectly, as William Schawcross reported in Sideshow: Kissinger, Nixon, and the Destruction of Cambodia. Five years later on this same day, in 1975, South Vietnam fell to the Vietcong, ending America’s war there. Also, Charlie Parker made his first recording on this day in 1941 (“hootie Blues”)–it is also International Jazz Day–and Warner Bros.’ Bugs Bunny made his debut on this date in 1938.

… it is necessary to live as if good will would work. We cannot prove in every instance that it will, nor why hatred, intolerance, suspicion, bigotry, secrecy, fear, and lying are the seven deadly sins against public opinion. We can only insist that they have no place in the appeal to reason, that in the longer run they are a poison; and taking our stand upon a view of the world which outlasts our own predicaments, and our own lives, we can cherish a hearty prejudice against them.
–From Walter Lippmann, Public Opinion (1922).
Patriot says
You are so far left and it’s pretty obvious! Shame on you! Don’t you see what is happening to out country buddy!
Pierre Tristam says
Yes I do: you find it normal that perspectives dissenting from yours have no place. You should be as disturbed as I am. You might want to look up the definition of that handle of yours.
Mark says
Patriot? I seriously doubt you even come close, more like self serving. Open YOUR eyes and see “Patriot” as to what is happening to OUR country from the fringes and lackeys of what used to be the “Grand Old Party”. Yes I used to Vote for that party.
The dude says
What’s happening to our country?
Sherry says
As an actual patriot myself, I do see what is happening to our country and to our culture and civilization:
1. A violent insurrection and attempted coup= seen as acceptable by the far Right Wing of the Republican Party.
2. The “Big Lie” regarding the Presidential election= seen as acceptable by many in the Republican Party.
3. Voter Suppression= laws being implemented across our country by Republican governors and legislatures
4. White Supremacy Racism/Bigotry= Being elevated as acceptable by many in the Republican Party.
5. Books Being Banned= By conspiracy theorists in the Republican Party.
6. Qanon Conspiracy theories being spread my many in the Republican Party.
7. Fear and Hate being spread by many in the Republican Party.
8. A woman’s right to control her own body being attacked by many in the Republican Party.
9. Homophobia/xenophobia/antisemitism/chauvinism/sexism running rampant in the Republican Party.
10. Fascism being propagated in the Republican Party.
YES! YES! YES! We should ALL be very concerned about “what is happening in our country buddy!”
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! DEMOCRATIC!
Sherry says
You will NOT see this on FOX. . . take a moment to learn FACTS. Just more evidence of trump’s corruption:
The Trump Organization and the Presidential Inaugural Committee will pay a total of $750,000 to settle with the Washington, DC, attorney general’s office over allegations they misspent money raised for former President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The Trump Organization will pay $400,000 and the PIC will pay $350,000, according to a person familiar with the settlement. As part of the deal, the money will be directed to two DC nonprofits, DC Action and Mikva Challenge DC, the DC attorney general’s office said.
In announcing the settlement, DC Attorney General Karl Racine said, “After he was elected, one of the first actions Donald Trump took was illegally using his own inauguration to enrich his family. We refused to let that corruption stand. With our lawsuit, we are now clawing back money that Trump’s own inaugural committee misused.”
