- Untold and practically secret history relating to Memorial (Decoration) Day (in my childhood, there were still adults who referred to Decoration Day). (Sarah Lazare, AlterNet)
- Dr. Grumpy, in his naval historian hat, summarizes the Battle of Jutland (100 years ago) and highlights a hero. With video.
- Democrat suggests dumping Trump.
Trump is not merely a Republican dilemma, but an American tragedy. Ideally, conservatives would acknowledge their role in enabling his candidacy, in moving the boundaries of acceptable rhetoric so far from reason that he can lie indiscriminately without fear of correction by journalists anxious for their next story. But more immediately, Republicans must find ways to defend their principles without capitulation to a vulgarian seemingly without principles of any sort. Trump deserves more than defeat by my party. He and his enthusiasts and enablers must be publicly, popularly shamed by all citizens who see him as a political cancer.
