Knowledgeable source tells me that White House forced out Pentagon Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Kevin Sweeney (ret.)
Official title was “Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense.”
Sweeney was going to leave within a couple months, having worked directly for Mattis, but WH forced him out before he wanted to leave, knowledgeable source says.

Retired four-star Admiral William McRaven, the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014 (which included the OBL mission), just issued the following statement to CNN in response to POTUS attacking GEN McChrystal on twitter:

2/4
“Stan McChrystal is one of the great generals of this generation and the finest officer I ever served with. He is a deep strategic thinker, tactically brilliant, with unparalleled personal courage. His leadership of special operations forces in Iraq and Afghanistan...

“... unquestionably saved the lives of thousands of American and allied troops, as well as countless civilians. No general I know has given more in the service of this country."

Dem senator on negotiations: “There are discussions happening among Senators. But the bottom line is that Trump has reneged on two deals this year—one in February and one in December. The ball is in his court and if he wants to negotiate he has to put an offer on the table...
2/“...that includes things that D’s want. So far he has not done so nor signaled any likelihood that he will. So far, his only negotiating position is to either slim down his demand or use fed. employees as bargaining chips. Neither is an offer to Dems based on what they want.”
3/ different congressional source: there are bipartisan talks right now about adding $1B to meet construction and modernization needs for land ports of entry to the current offer of all approps plus &1.3 B border security, no wall. If POTUS publicly accepted belief it would work

Working in public update 🤓 Been quiet for a few weeks, sometimes you have to put your head down before writing up a thread!

TL;DR:

🎉 Launched Campaigns
🤓 Working on new Landing pages
💟 Bringing new charities onboard
👩‍💼Exhibited at IoF East Conference
🎬 Planning video demos
We're rolling out a new feature at @echoleftcares for #charities and good causes: “Campaigns” 🎉

Here's the pitch: Set up a unique, fully branded fundraising campaign in minutes. Engage your supporters and give them something great to share on social media.
Campaigns can look and feel really different (really keen to hear more about what fundraisers are looking for in the campaigns they’re planning!)

Here's the intro blog post: blog.echoleft.com/2018/12/03/int…🎉/ - lots more still to do!

Here's a thread about how Polynesian war canoes prove that humans are never going to colonize space in any foreseeable future:
The Polynesian expansion is a great natural experiment in how human culture adapts to different environments.

At the dawn of the Age of Discovery, Polynesian and Austronesian people had by far and away the most widespread culture on the planet.
At one extreme, the Malagasy people of Madagascar speak an Austronesian language:

At the other, the sweet potatoes that were a staple crop for Polynesians appear to have been carried from South America.

THE WATCHMAN

[...] "The watchman’s task has always been a thankless one.
"There are treacherous fifth column elements, who are really working for the #defeat of the #nation, at the hands of its enemies.
"These subversive elements readily gain and hold the #public’s ear, because they soothingly tell the people what they want to hear. Go back to sleep, no danger can come, and there is nothing you can do.

Okay, so... I'm going to make myself a drink and then we're doing this. Deep dive into Trump's campaign rally speech from Pennsylvania on March 10th.
All my babies already know the drill. For the newer followers - what I do is not fact checking, it's interpretation. Context and content analysis. Political and psychological insights.
This kind of thing has been my calling since Trump's election and I do do it for a living, more or less. If you get anything out of it, if you want to support this kind of work, if you've just got too much money, you can tip in. paypal.me/alexandraerin

1/ Everyone makes pros and con list to make decisions but they only take into account the first order effects or short term effects. The best decisions take advantage of embedded optionalities. It allows a hidden compounding that provides exposure to positive black swans.
2/ The major decisions in every person's life is location, career, love, friends, and families. For most people they are simply a re-mix of the habits, characters, and lifestyles of everyone close to them (geographically and relationship wise).
3/ The way people typically make decisions is through listing out all the attributes they care about and weighing the pros and cons and typically overweighing attributes that are relevant to you personally given your environment.
