Peter, Right on. Add Spinoza to your list of philosophers persuaded that god is in all of nature...ours included. It appears we're headed for a changing of the guard in November. That won't solve the governance problems that we've created for ourselves, but it can be a start back down the path of common sense.

Peter, thanks for your perceptive and candid observations on a near tragic situation that not only occurred last Saturday but ongoing incompetence of Secret Service, national security, and.homeland security agencies. Yes, Trump is well advised to bolster his own security forces. Thanks again for your usual common sense insights.

Thanks Jeff, and there were way too many lapses, and departures from usual security procedure, for mere incompetence. In a notable new post, Dr Naomi Wolf notes that FLOTUS just happened to schedule her own event in North Pittsburgh at the same time as Trump's speech 50 miles north in Butler. This drew experienced SS agents away from Butler, leaving temporary replacements with insufficient time for training and for vetting the rally site.
