Finally, the question has arrived that I had feared: “President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to eliminate a key tool that lower courts have used to block various aspects of his agenda.” (Politico). I do hope that the U.S. Supreme Court (a.k.a. SCOTUS) will respect the U.S. Constitution. Nevertheless, I doubt that all SCOTUS members will respect their...

Intro LO: The Nikkei Asia article (below) reminds me of one of the seven unresolved prophecies by American clairvoyant Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) about China: On one occasion, Cayce told a group of people that eventually China would become “the cradle of Christianity, as applied in the lives of men.” “Yea, it is far off as man counts time, but only a day in the heart...

In zijn eerste kabinetsvergadering beweerde Trump het volgende: "De Europese Unie is opgericht om de Verenigde Staten te naaien. Dat was het doel. Ze hebben hun werk goed gedaan, maar nu ben ik president." (NOS, AD, BNR, GVA) Zit hier een kern van waarheid in, of betreft het (wederom) een voorbeeld van zijn omgekeerde psychologie? Een uitspraak uit 1971 suggereert...

Intro LO: Deze opinie van Sylvain Ephimenco in dagblad Trouw is lezenswaardig. Langzamerhand verandert de mening over de voormalige Duitse Bondskanselier Angela Merkel. Haar recente boek kent echter weinig zelfreflectie. Haar 2015 motto ‘Wir schaffen das’ is ongetwijfeld haar grootste blunder, welke nog altijd (diepe) wonden slaat in de Duitse samenleving (o.a....
