It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.

Babe Ruth, Historic Home Run Hitter
What's sad is to witness what Syria has become because nobody will give up.

And "because they're nonstate actors, it's hard for us to get the satisfaction of [Gen.] MacArthur and the [Japanese] Emperor [Hirohito] meeting and the war officially being over," Obama observed, referencing the end of World War II.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
T.S. Eliot

Be brave enough to start a conversation that matters.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
George S. Patton

If you don't know where you're going, you might not get there.
Yogi Berra

Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.
Henry David Thoreau

In fairness no USA presidents since Reagan and Bush Sr. have been respected or admired outside the USA on the day they left office.

What makes this significant is that Salon is one of the most liberal, anti-capitalist Websites in the world.

The IRS has discovered more than 1 million Americans whose Social Security numbers were stolen by illegal immigrants, but officials never bothered to tell the taxpayers themselves, the agencys inspector general said in a withering new report released Tuesday ---

Jensen Comment
Of course a much, much larger number of identities are stolen by American citizens filing phony tax returns for refunds. The IRS never informed me that my identity had been stolen from my electronic 2015 tax return. I probably would've never known had it not been for a small refund that I never received. In fact the IRS to this day never acknowledged that my identity was stolen on my electronic filing. I did, however, get my refund after I sent in a long-delayed second tax return via the USA Post Office. I think that the thief who stole my tax return and got a huge tax refund got it from the security breach at TurboTax in early 2016. I wish all Americans would stick it to the IRS by no longer filing electronic tax returns until the IRS is more forthcoming about when your electronic ID has been stolen.

Sweden Is Now Paying Migrants to Leave (after rejecting asylum requests)---

Norway started the trend followed by Germany and now Sweden. Finland exports them quickly to Sweden, and Denmark never let them in in any serious numbers. Paying undocumented immigrants to leave the USA does not work well because it is so easy for them to return in a matter of weeks.

When Losing is Profitable in NYC
A young Queens politico who ran for City Council in 2015 was arrested Tuesday for faking donations to get 6-for-1 matching taxpayer funds for her losing campaign, authorities said. Celia Dosamantes, 25, allegedly forged 32 contribution cards totaling $3,255, then filed the documents with the Campaign Finance Board in an attempt to get matching funds of nearly $19,530 from the city, officials said.
