While we now know it will not work for us long-term, the experience has taught us much about ourselves and each other. My husband applied to jobs in Miami, too, but wasn't getting offers of the caliber he wanted. I never did find a better job, so we remained long-distance for the full four years.

☆ 2 renowned strategists say the US should defend Taiwan with nuclear strikes. Experts say such talk is just a taste of what's to come.

The US once floated nuclear retaliation in 1958 if China invaded Taiwan, and stationed nuclear weapons on the island until 1974. It would essentially tell Beijing that an invasion of the island risks nuclear war, he said. "What's the benefit of reassuring Xi that our nuclear weapons are not relevant?" "So relatively low-yield nuclear weapons could destroy that amphibious force and do little to no collateral damage onshore in Taiwan." He added that threatening war — much less nuclear war — over Taiwan would be deeply unpopular at home.

But I understand the appeal of calling out what looks like hypocrisy when we see it, especially now. To give hypocrisy a pass, one might argue, is to slide down a slope toward having no principles at all.

Unfortunately for Criston Cole and Aemond, his partner in crime, Aegon chooses that moment to take charge, flying into the battle on his dragon Sunfyre.

☆ President Biden, Do the Right Thing and Step Aside - The New York Times
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-08 | by ( Paul Krugman | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Here are three true things about President Biden: He has done an excellent job as president. And he should step aside as his party’s nominee for president, probably in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris. Anyone who has been following American politics and policy has to be aware just how remarkable Biden’s achievements have been. But Biden, despite having only a razor-thin legislative majority, enacted major investments in infrastructure, advanced technology and green energy. Almost as many voters give credit for infrastructure to Trump — whose repeated promises to come up with a plan became a running joke — as to Biden, who got the job done.

Numerous officials, lawmakers and strategists in President Biden’s own party increasingly see his candidacy as unsustainable — and their private anxieties are slowly but steadily spilling into public view, interviews with more than 50 Democrats this week showed. Growing swaths of Democrats now believe that by remaining on the ticket, the president is jeopardizing their ability to maintain the White House and threatening other candidates up and down the ballot. “I have less and less confidence in this campaign’s ability to win this race,” Representative Scott Peters, Democrat of California, said in an interview. “If we know we’re going to lose, we would be foolish not to look at another course.”Representative Angie Craig, Democrat of Minnesota, urged Mr. Biden on Saturday to step aside as the Democratic nominee. “I do not believe that the president can effectively campaign and win against Donald Trump,” she said in a statement.

CNN —Amid the ongoing fallout from Joe Biden’s debate performance, talk in many top Democratic circles has already moved to who Kamala Harris’ running mate would be. A more open race, these top Democrats hope, would be for Harris’ running mate, with a focus on leading Democratic governors. “President Biden is our nominee, Vice President Harris is our running mate, and we will win this November,” he said. The anti-Trump coalition cannot afford to discount the strengths of the nominated Democratic running mate and current vice president. Harris’ answer: She’d turn around and say to him, “Why are you being so weird?”As vice president, Harris has tended to be known more for her word salads than sharp elbows like that.

CNBC's Jim Cramer said investors shouldn't lose their heads when the market starts to rally. "When the stock market's had a big short-term run—short term—don't get carried away by the optimism," he said. Instead, he said, it's wise to sell part of one's position when a rally starts and leave the door open to sell more if the rally continues. It's foolish to buy and hold during the best of times and the worst of times, he added. He said if you hang on to winning stocks for too long, your gains may evaporate and then you've completely missed the rally anyway.

CNBC's Jim Cramer warned investors about taking every individual stock move to heart. He said these sudden moves are often arbitrary, and suggested investors focus on a company's underlying business. "Sometimes you can extrapolate a great deal from a big move in an individual stock, but more often it's telling you something you already know or it's just noise that means nothing." While it's difficult to decipher this "noise," Cramer conceded that irregular moves can be valid signals. Other times, the action in the stock is noise, not a signal, and you'll end up feeling very foolish if you take your cue from that kind of action."

The Fed can’t ignore CPIAlthough CPI isn’t the inflation gauge the Fed targets, central bankers don’t write it off.

I won’t even opine whether my flying the flag upside-down flag at my house would have constituted a violation of the Code of Ethics that binds me and all federal judges — except the justices. The fact is that, regardless of its legality, displaying the flag in that way, at that time, shouldn’t have happened. To put it bluntly, any judge with reasonable ethical instincts would have realized immediately that flying the flag then and in that way was improper. The same goes with the flying of an “Appeal to Heaven” flag at Justice Alito’s vacation house along the New Jersey shore. Like the upside-down flag, this flag is viewed by a great many people as a banner of allegiance on partisan issues that are, or could be, before the court.
