Rule Britannia!
"The sun never sets on the British Empire". 100 years ago this was the literal truth, as our older sibling proudly administered a commonwealth that literally spanned the entire globe. Sorely tested by WWII, she stood strong against the National Socialist threat. Winston Churchill stood tall in the rubble of London, bravely flipping off the German planes with his trademark "V", becoming a eternal symbol of triumph over adversity.
Has there ever been a better example of courage? Of defiance? Of stouthearted determination to fight through the toughest of times and emerge victorious? Such an example can inspire a people for generations, echoing down through the ages, ensuring greatness.

Two reasons the good guys won WWII were Churchill and the P-51 Mustang and both were hybrids. Churchill was English with an American mother and the P-51 was an American airframe with a Rolls Royce Merlin engine.

A BBC discussion on Trump and the media. Glenn Reynolds and a media lady (I did not catch her name) talk about the media's role and place in covering the president and whether they have been fair. Interesting, but not much there. Just offering for people who cannot get enough of Trump's initial days.

Semantics. The Founding Fathers thought of themselves as Englishmen equal to the British, and the Revolution as a split, hence siblings. "Mother Country" is equally valid from a different point of view. Potato, potahto. For the current world, I like Daniel Hannon's concept of the Anglosphere, and "siblings" works better in that context.

Now an oxymoron. They never recovered from the First World War which should have been avoided in the first place but the Brits would never let any one replace themselves as the leader of Europe. See Napoleon.
And they were very good at bringing us in on their side for obvious reasons. Alone they would have lost but they always managed to entangle others in their conflicts.
All the ills which plagued us these last 100 plus years, i.e. Communism, Socialism, Fascism, Nazism and now Jihadism all flowed out of that useless conflict.
Winston was a natural leader but his type is now extinct in England.

As noted, Churchill's mother was American, born into the Jerome family. Jerome Avenue in The Bronx is named after her father and it -- not the Grand Concourse -- is the East West dividing line for street addresses in The Bronx.
Her dad was involved in creating the Belmont Stakes which was originally run a racetrack that's now a reservoir in The Bronx.
Word is that Jenny got around.

Part of that, I think, was because after the Nazis retreated from Greece, GB sent in troops to put down the Communist uprising there. Most of the FDR administration was appalled because Churchill did not give them the "right of self determination". Maybe because there were a good number of Communists in his State Department?

It really doesn't seem fair does it, that the anti-trump people can say what they want and we just have to tolerate it. But maybe it's best to try to stay clear of it, if that doesn't work than try to point out the reasoning behind Trump, which is to break up the dishonest government and media, and that sometimes God gives us what we need and not necessarily what we want. I'll say a prayer for you that you can just enjoy your time with your sister.

There is an experiment I would like to try, but I have trouble maintaining a straight face whenever someone spews nonsense. The experiment is this: ask the person, as sincerely as possible, what their concerns are regarding Trump. Help them be as specific as possible. You want them to express their fears in such a way that it will be absolutely obvious whether they turn out to be well-grounded or not.
Example: when Obama was elected, I expressed my concern that his healthcare plan would restrict my choices and raise my premiums. It wasn't long before I could look at the changes in my insurance options and see I was right.
Perhaps your sister thinks women will be mistreated under Trump. Ask her what she thinks will happen. Will he reduce legal penalties for rape? Will he stop forcing everyone to subsidize abortions even when it violates their moral beliefs? Will he abuse his authority with young interns in the Oval Office? Will women's employment opportunities get worse or better? If he de-funds programs, how will that impact women's lives?
This gives your sister a chance to name her fears and perhaps one day she will see that they never came to pass. And she can acknowledge that privately without losing face in front of you.
Just a thought. If you try this, please let me know how it goes. I'd love to see if it's worth trying on some of my relatives.

Another whopper of a Churchill error was his plan to invade Norway in WWII and, ironically, Churchill benefitted greatly from it. The invasion went so badly that the Prime Minister, Chamberlain, resigned and Churchill became Prime Minister.
Trump reminds me of Churchill in this way. Both were chock full of ideas, some good, some bad, and some ugly.

Yes. As pointed out, it is Holst. The actual lyrics are from a poem by Sir Cecil Spring Rice. It is regarded, though not officially, as the national anthem by Brits.

Here is a very nice recording, that is worth the watch. Read the lyrics as it is sung, look at the faces. http://tinyurl.com/npnhxdh

One thing I have learned from friends who have moved here from other countries, or from Americans who have lived overseas - if you think our press is one-sided, theirs is even worse. She will be coming here with preconceived ideas, and there's not much you can do about that.
But maybe some nice things will happen that will make her see things in a better light. For instance, President Trump (never gets old) will be meeting with Theresa May at the end of this week, and that will probably strengthen our relationship with Britain. That kind of thing.

Oh dear. So, not really a fun visit, is it. Well, taking into account I don't know your sister, I think your best bet is just to be your sweet, encouraging self and not let her get you into any arguments regarding Trump, as best you can. Truly, it seems she has other things to worry about, but if she gets into a mood, just know that it's not you, it's whatever is worrying her.
My prayer for you will be that the visit will turn out to be much less stressful than you fear, and that you and your sister will enjoy each other's company and strengthen your relationship. (And, that she will see the light in many ways! Hey, miracles are God's specialty!

After that, I'd love to do some volunteer work for a new pro-life crisis pregnancy center nearby that is run by my dear friend from church. I fear, though, that I would be too emotional if someone were discussing terminating their pregnancy. My husband goes to pray in front of an abortion clinic and I can't even do that - too awful to see people go in. I'm kind of a wimp.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
‘Russian’ prankster organizes fake protest at UC Berkeley but hundreds march anyway
"Hundreds of people showed up to march on the UC Berkeley campus Saturday in what turned out to be a fake protest organized by a prankster who later identified himself (perhaps falsely) as a Russian national. But the march went on anyway.
A person named Sam Cox listed a march on the Action Network website that was to start at Memorial Glade near Doe Library at UC Berkeley at noon. He also cross-listed the march on the Women’s March Bay Area website, although the listing was later taken down. Berkeleyside got an email Thursday about the march and added it to the already-published story listing activities taking place Saturday in response to the inauguration.
But when hundreds of people showed up to Memorial Glade, there was no organized march. And those who had registered online later got an email in Russian stating:
“Я pranked многих американцев! хахаха / Не удивительно, что люди не имеют столь низкие результаты тестов. и один из вас получили это право, что я русский национальный xaxaxaxa / До свидания!”
Translated, that means: “I pranked many Americans! Hahaha. Not surprising that people [do] don’t have such low test scores and one of you got this right/privilege that I am Russian national. ha ha haha. Goodbye!”
And the name of the organizer of the march was changed on the website from Sam Cox to “Pepe the Frog,” a meme recently appropriated by the racist right. The Anti-Defamation League added the frog meme into its database of symbols in 2016.
“The event page now has a frog giving the finger because the ‘organizer’ assumed we would get there, find no one, and look it up to make sure we were in the correct spot, and get the finger,” Cori Kesler, one of the Berkeley marchers, told Berkeleyside.
Maris Meyerson was one of the hundreds who turned up at Memorial Glade to join the march. By around 11:45 a.m., when no organizer had turned up, she and others began to be suspicious, she said. Other marchers reported that when they clicked on “Memorial Grove,” the website said the location was closed. That led many people to wander around campus, frustrated by not knowing where to go, said Meyerson.
“A bunch of us were RSVPing for a march that was put together by Pepe the Frog,” said Meyerson. “They were trying to draw people away from Oakland to bring the numbers down…. It was clearly someone trying to make you reach a dead end.”"

I didn't mean "bet" as literally gambling, but more as investing in shares of companies whose profitability would be lessened by Brexit. IIRC, the UK stock market rose upon the news of the Brexit win, so it sounds like the investments of your sister and her husband were heavily concentrated in some sectors that were heavily dependent upon Britain remaining in the EU.

"Bill would require teaching of California students about Russian interference for Trump
Unwilling to wait for history to become, well, history, a Marin County legislator wants to make sure state schools teach students about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, requiring the topic in history classes.
Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, said he is introducing a bill to require the State Board of Education to develop curriculum to ensure “all California students will learn how the Russian government conspired to influence the United States Presidential Election to elect Donald Trump,” according to his office."

One weird thing, though. I went back to re-watch the first season b/c I couldn't remember how it left off, and I found that lightening/brightening the tv display helped a lot. They film it in almost a shady patina, and when coupled with the serious nature of the story, I found it to be really dark. Much better after it was brightened.

The "archer" derivation is totally fabricated -- no evidence for it.
Originally, the sign was meant to held with the BACK of the hand toward the viewer (as in the Churchill photo) and the two fingers were the Sign Language symbol for "V", and the sign meant "V for Victory" (over the Germans).
20 years later, leftists co-opted the symbol but reversed the hand orientation (palm forward) and redefined the gesture to mean "Peace" -- pretty much the opposite of "kick Nazi ass."
That's what leftists do - co-opt symbols, then reverse their meanings, in an attempt to muddy every issue and render everything confusing and meaningless. Standard operating procedure.

William Cowper Brann ('the Iconoclast') complained bitterly of it in the 1890's. Evidence of both the Czar's and the Bolsheviks' intelligence agencies building cells here is easy to get. There was a perfectly valid Red Scare in the early 1920's, a story or two in the 30's, curious silence until around 1948, and then certain parties wouldn't shut up about it until about Clinton's time.
Include all those sources, and what you have on Trump, and teach a course.

He had a picture of his Nanny on his desk his entire life. His mom was useful for her influence as an adult, but he was abandoned and ignored by both parents.
He was also observing a Cuban Revolution. This is where he made the comment about being shot at and missed. So 5 wars / combat before WWI.
He was instrumental in slowing down the German assault at Antwerp in 1914. That had a bearing on the Battle of the Marne in 1914. He escaped death from shellfire and wanted to be appointed a British Army General while The First Lord of the Admiralty.
That last request got him hammered in the Cabinet, probably why this episode is not as well known today.

Yeah, the medieval "origin" is just a story. Dunno how it got started. I can't remember exactly when the "salute" gets going, but a hazy memory says late 19th century or early 20th. The "victory" thing is intriguing and must have some veracity, since Churchill used it as such... but, it has either become, or originally was, the "up yours"salute. Dunno. I seem to recall that it was "up yours", originally and morphed into "victory", then back again... but you may be right. It could well have started out as "victory" and became "up yours" just recently/

No, it isn't even close to being state law yet. Just because a bill is introduced does not make it law. Remember "I'm Just A Bill?" from Schoolhouse Rock? Poor Bill had to jump through a lot of hoops -- committee hearings, floor votes, and being signed by the executive before he could become Law, right?
A legislator can introduce a bill to do any harebrained thing he or she wants -- declare that the sky is green, create a new holiday called Pussy Riot Day, institute free healthcare for pets, etc. -- but that does NOT mean the bill will ever see the light of day again. While anything is possible, particularly in California, the vast majority of bills introduced in any legislative body (state level or Congress) never become law. So don't be hitting the panic button just yet. If it is scheduled for a committee hearing, that would be the best time to speak up and put the kibosh on it if possible.
Many legislators introduce or sponsor bills they know have no chance of passage simply as a means of virtue signaling to their constituents and donors -- "I introduced legislation to do x".

Dick was usually writing on drugs, as well, at least large quantities of amphetamines. That might help the imagination but really harm the execution.

American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017
This bill repeals the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 and other specified related laws.
The bill requires: (1) the President to terminate U.S. membership in the United Nations (U.N.), including any organ, specialized agency, commission, or other formally affiliated body; and (2) closure of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.
The bill prohibits: (1) the authorization of funds for the U.S. assessed or voluntary contribution to the U.N., (2) the authorization of funds for any U.S. contribution to any U.N. military or peacekeeping operation, (3) the expenditure of funds to support the participation of U.S. Armed Forces as part of any U.N. military or peacekeeping operation, (4) U.S. Armed Forces from serving under U.N. command, and (5) diplomatic immunity for U.N. officers or employees.
Introduced in the House just this month by Mike Rogers!
Trump: This is a tremendous bill. Tremendous. Let me tell you folks I've been in the real estate business in NYC for decades. Decades. And we've all known for a long time that the piece of property that the U.N. sits on is a gold mine. How about we turn it into a park for kids? We could put in another ice skating rink for the kids and their families. I know about ice skating rinks let me tell you. It's gonna be amazing!

At one point in the early 1980s, he was teaching a creative writing class at a community college in Orange County, not very far from me. Wish I had known then what I know now about him, I would have wanted to be there.

Presumably grown in greenhouses heated by geothermal steam. I doubt the Icelandic economy lives or dies on the fortunes of their banana sales.
Would be interesting to see some numbers. I know I have never seen Iceland-grown anything in the markets.

They should have somebody there to answer the phone. They have a few people at the check-in counters then. I caught a flight at 0500 last year in PHX.

But usually boinks him up the squeak hole. For example, the took a beautiful short story, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, and turned it into two sucky Total Recall movies.

Yes, it is a very obtuse book. The movie to one small part of the idea in the book and spun out a very fascinating screen play, which is pretty much NOTHING like the book.
The book is really about the presence of human empathy, because this was apparently the way that the Andies could be told apart from humans. So it's a big discourse on human empathy, and all that. Really hard to wade through. You thought something interesting was going to happen?

I know somebody that worked pretty close to trump during the election. The way I heard it is he is a stickler, he accepts no excuses, no failure, you will be accountable for your performance, and he demands results, but said he was really great, really nice. That tells me he knows how to get people operating at their peak.

No one must, however, underrate the power and efficiency of a totalitarian state. Where the whole population of a great country, amiable, good-hearted, peace-loving people are gripped by the neck and by the hair by a Communist or a Nazi tyranny--for they are the same things spelt in different ways...
