I'm looking forward to my Farewell Lecture at Southern Denmark University on 2 June, but sad that my five-year Visiting Professorship is coming to an end. I've enjoyed my annual stays in Odense - a few weeks in a civilized country not at war with itself has done wonders. www.sdu.dk/en/forskning...

The most impressive politician by far who I'd like to be our next President is a man with no party. His former party is now out-and-out Nazi. His political leanings are far from mine. But he's the person I want to lead us out of the mess the GOP has created. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Good piece by former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger. He wants to believe his former colleagues are still loyal Americans. The evidence says otherwise. Republican politicians & voters long ago abandoned either the party or else any shred of human decency open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

A President Who Cheers a Veteran’s Death Is Unfit for Office, and EVIL

Robert Mueller was a wounded Marine, a decorated veteran, and a public servant who spent his life defending the rule of law. The President of the United States responded to his death with glee.

Truth Social: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” This is who the entire Republican Party supports as POTUS. To them, he has charisma. Others think differently. No Democrat President ever had such staunch support.

I see my birth nation, the UK, still believes that no one is above the law, even royalty. I wish the country that invited me to move here in 1987, and where I have been a citizen since 2000, believed the same. The US used to be such a nation. It pains me that such is no longer the case.
