If AG Bondi has ordered a grand jury investigation into matters where extensive past DOJ investigation shows that there is no basis to do so, it's time for honest public officials to denounce her, for the House to impeach her, & for DOJ lawyers & agents to quit. www.cnn.com/2025/08/04/p...

January 1946: The fledging United Nations met in London. U.S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes -- in 1941-42, he'd been a U.S. Supreme Court justice -- pledged to the nations of the world that, this time, the U.S. would be working with them. (See 2:15-3:37.) www.britishpathe.com/asset/82772/

I recently watched “One Life,” starring Anthony Hopkins as Jewish children WWII rescuer Nicholas Winton. It’s great, & he’s a life story to know & emulate.

See senior Nuremberg prosecutor Telford Taylor’s memoir, for example.
Nazi-systematic-extermination-of-Jews incomprehension—what we now have the word to call Holocaust incomprehension—was pervasive during WWII, including in the highest ranks of the U.S. government. It continued after the War, e.g., at the Nuremberg trials, until evidence brought more comprehension.
