BREAKING: Supreme Court denies the foreign country-owned company's request to stay a contempt order resulting from its refusal to comply with a grand jury's subpoena. Chief Justice Roberts' "administrative stay" is vacated, so the result is the contempt order is back in effect.
That order of the court follows this request, made Monday but put on the docket today, to file a cert petition in the case under seal. Not clear what will happen with that now, but the contempt order (and associated fines) will now be back in place.
REDACTED DOCUMENT: Here's the redacted motion at SCOTUS, noted previously, of what appears to be the foreign-owned company seeking to file its petition for certiorari in the grand jury dispute under seal. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

This Day in Labor History: December 14, 1945. The Employment Act of 1946 is introduced in Congress. Let's talk about the need for full employment policy and why it has never happened, a very important issue for the present!
World War II ended the Great Depression. But policymakers knew that the war would end and they didn’t know what would happen to the economy. There was disagreement over the extent to which the underlying factors that led to the Depression had dissipated.
Many economists believed that the Great Depression was the natural state of a mature economy and would return without significant government intervention. This was a serious concern as the war ended, with widespread fears of a massive economic downturn.

I have a story about Pearl Harbor—it starts in 1997 when I was discharged from the Marines [the first time] and ends in 2013 on the deck of an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer named after a Spanish American War hero—Admiral George Dewey.

Wanna hear it?
When I left active duty in 1997 I was a punk. I’d been fighting battles that would haunt me for a long time—and I was mad at authority, the Corps and the world. I moved into my Gram’s house in SoCal, started working part time and waited for community college classes to start.
Gram lives in [still does] this *searches for right adjective* gram lived in a modular home community for people older than 55. “An old people trailer park” is never the right description—none of these homes have wheels, Jennie.” Brand new home shows up next door one weekend.

1. The electrical grid and lit up with light.
2. Water and sewer system made things clean and safe.
3. Roads, streetcars, and highway systems were unified.

Light, power, heat, and mobility democratized.

Bomb Egypt, behead disloyal Arabs: Israel parts ways with 'Jewish ISIS' defense chief — RT World News rt.com/news/443975-li…
"World War II ended with the (((rigged))) Nuremberg trials," Lieberman said during a speech in Israel's parliament.

The heads of the Nazi regime, along with their collaborators, were executed. I hope this will be the fate of the collaborators in [the Knesset].
"The Nuremberg Tribunal of 1945-46 — the most spectacular judicial enterprise in history — was meant to prove that the defeated German regime had been one of unique and monstrous deceit, rapaciousness and evil. But in fact the Tribunal dispensed not justice, but injustice.

On This Day, 1942: President Roosevelt vowed to try Nazis for war crimes. Learning of atrocities against Jews in Nazi-controlled Europe—the Holocaust—FDR said “the ringleaders responsible for organized murder” would be held accountable /1
Roosevelt died before World War II ended, of course, but the Nuremberg Trials—a series of military tribunals—prosecuted 22 top Nazi officials. Roosevelt was later criticized by some for not doing more to stop the direct extermination of Jews /2
/3
Critics said FDR could have bombed railroad tracks that led to death camps, but FDR thought the fastest way to stop the Holocaust was to win the war as quickly as possible—by bombing Germany itself (Here: reconaissance photo of Auschwitz w/smoke from burning bodies)

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.
