Opinion | Eric Greitens’s Plug for Political Violence Is No Joke – The New York Times

Greitens’s ad isn’t just an example of bad judgment. It’s the epitome of it. It comes fast on the heels of the massacres in Buffalo and Uvalde, during a terrifying chapter of intensifying political violence. Early this month, a retired Wisconsin judge was murdered in his home, allegedly by a man in possession of what appeared to be a hit list of both Republican and Democratic political targets, including Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, and the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell. Days later, Maryland police arrested an armed California man believed to be on his way to the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Threats of violent retribution against perceived political adversaries are no longer remarkable, and of course Trump stirred the bedlam on Jan. 6, 2021, by all accounts thrilling to rioters’ “Hang Mike Pence” chants. As witness testimony during the Jan. 6 committee’s hearing on Tuesday showed, elected Republican officials and election workers who dared to speak truth to Trump or were falsely accused of thwarting him came to fear for their physical safety, went into hiding or had their lives upended in other ways.

In this chilling climate, in this loaded context, Greitens’s ad is no joke — though he tried on Tuesday to dismiss it as one. It’s an act of recklessness so extreme that it’s morally perverse. And yet it may do more to help than to hurt his hunt for a Senate seat. That’s how lost his party is.

Deborah Birx Said Trump White House Asked Her to Water Down Covid Guidance to States – The New York Times

Dr. Birx, who is publicly testifying to the panel Thursday morning, also told the committee that Trump White House officials withheld the reports from states during a winter outbreak and refused to publicly release the documents, which featured data on the virus’s spread and recommendations for how to contain it.

याददाश्त / Memory

याददाश्त का तेज होना
एक अच्छी बात है,
लेकिन कभी-कभी
चयनात्मक तौर पर भूलना
बेहतर होता है
खुश रहने के लिए…

It’s good to have
a sharp memory,
but it’s better
sometimes to have
selective amnesia
in order to be happy…

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Reconhecer as tuas qualidades não é entrar em contato com uma realidade ilusória. É saber que você é uma pessoa inteligente, e que tem um potencial incrível. Mas que não se deixa envaidecer e ser dominado pelo orgulho.

Reconhecer o seu valor é uma obrigação pessoal ” tua para contigo “. É fascinante não ser um espelho do que os outros pensam sobre nós. Porém, nada é tão gratificante como: nos respeitar, exigir o melhor de nós, e ir a busca da própria excelência.
