National Review, by Victor Davis Hanson Posted By: sagman- Tue, 22 58 2017 09:58:03 GMT Romans emperors were often a bad lot — but usually confirmed as such only in retrospect.

After unhinged emperors were finally killed off, the sycophantic Senate often proclaimed a damnatio memoriae (a “damnation of memory”). Prior commemoration was wiped away, thereby robbing the posthumous ogre of any legacy and hence any existence for eternity.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday praised Kim Jong Un´s rogue nation for its “restraint” on nuclear weapons, even after Kim has spent two weeks threatening the U.S. with mass destruction. Tillerson said he was pleased that North Korea had not run any missile launches since the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted sanctions against the communist country. “We hope that this is the beginning of this signal that we´ve been looking for —that they are ready to restrain their level of tension,” Tillerson told reporters.

Reuters, by Staff Posted By: Ribicon- Tue, 22 10 2017 10:10:59 GMT Berlin — A Syrian refugee family in Germany has named their newly born baby girl Angela Merkel Muhammed out of gratitude to the chancellor for her open’door asylum policy in 2015, hospital officials said. “The first name of the girl is Angela, the second is Merkel.

Reuters, by Staff Posted By: Ribicon- Tue, 22 18 2017 10:18:29 GMT A majority of Americans think Confederate monuments should be preserved in public spaces, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll, a view that is at odds with efforts in many cities to remove them.

Democrats and minorities were more likely to support removal.
