Behold the fiery disk of Ra!

Started with tournaments right after the first Fischer-Spassky set-to, but have long since given up active play in favour of poker.

In my chess playing days, one of the most memorable moments was playing fourth board on the team that won the National High School championship at Cleveland, 1977. Another which stands out was having the pleasure of playing a series of rapid games with Mikhail Tal on his first visit to the USA in 1988. Even after facing a number of titled players, including Teimour Radjabov when he first became a GM (he still gave me a beating), these are things which I'll not forget.

Fischer at his zenith was the greatest of all champions for me, but has never been one of my favourite players. In that number may be included Emanuel Lasker, Bronstein, Korchnoi, Larsen, Speelman, Romanishin, Nakamura and Carlsen, all of whom have displayed outstanding fighting qualities.

  perfidious: Animal Killer has an interesting view of the gubmint's role in crises such as the Texass flooding:

<Kristi Noem, also known as "Ice Barbie", made an interesting statement at Trump's sixth Cabinet meeting during this second term as President on Tuesday.

Noem said that the federal government is not responsible for managing disasters like the deadly flash floods in Texas, adding that it was the state's responsibility.

"We, as a federal government don't manage these disasters. The state does. We come in and support them," Noem said. "And that's exactly what we did here in this situation -FEMA went to an enhanced level, immediately, but as soon as you signed the major disaster declaration we were able to get them resources and dollars right away just like you envisioned through state block grants to help them with clean up," Noem added.

"FEMA has been deployed and we're cutting through the paper work of the old FEMA streamlining it much like your vision of how FEMA should operate and its been a much better response to help these families get through this terrible situation," she added.

Donald Trump hosted his sixth Cabinet meeting of his second term at the White House on Tuesday at 11 a.m.

President Trump, who was set to speak on multiple issues across the board, was surrounded by reporters while his administration discussed the flash foods in Texas.

The death toll from the devastating floods in Texas over the July Fourth weekend exceeded 100 on Monday, as search-and-rescue teams continued their efforts, wading through swollen rivers and using heavy machinery to clear debris in the extensive search for those missing.

Officials managing the search for flood victims stated they would address inquiries about weather warnings and why some summer camps did not evacuate before the lethal flooding that took at least 104 lives at a future date.>

  perfidious: Purblind loyalty before common decency is the defining feature of the regime:

<The US is reeling after catastrophic floods killed more than 100 people in Texas, including 27 children and counsellors from an all-girls Christian camp. On Monday, Democrats asked a government watchdog to investigate whether cuts at the National Weather Service (NWS) affected the forecasting agency’s performance.

But Republicans’ default response has been to express fealty to Donald Trump. They lavished praise on the president for providing federal assistance while studiously avoiding questions around the effect of his “department of government efficiency” (Doge) or threats to dismantle the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema).

“It is a sign of the sickness and dysfunction of what was the Republican party that they have almost no thoughts about their constituents,” said Rick Wilson, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group. “Their thoughts are, how do I avoid making sure that Donald Trump doesn’t look at me as an enemy or a critic?

“Despite the fact that the Doge cuts and the reductions in force and the early buyouts have savaged the workforce of the National Weather Service, they can’t even utter the slightest vague, elliptical critique of the administration that is now engaged in these cuts that have cost the lives of the people they supposedly represent.”

The raging flash floods – among the US’s worst in decades – slammed into riverside camps and homes in central Texas before daybreak on Friday, pulling sleeping people out of their cabins, tents and trailers and dragging them for miles past floating tree trunks and cars. Some survivors were found clinging to trees. Authorities say the death toll is sure to rise as crews look for the many who are still missing.

Republicans have long been criticised for responding to mass shootings with “thoughts and prayers”, as if the tragedy transcends politics. Similarly, party leaders have sought to blame a freak act of nature rather than contemplating a potential association with Trump’s policies – or with the broader threat of the climate crisis, seemingly a taboo subject under the current administration.

Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, praised Trump for approving a major disaster declaration that ensured state and local government have more resources to deal with the emergency. “The swift and very robust action by President Trump is an extraordinary help to our response,” he said.

Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, tweeted: “Thank you @POTUS Trump” for the declaration and told Fox News: “The National Weather Service under President Trump has been working to put in new technology and a new system because it’s been neglected for years. It’s an ancient system that needed to be upgraded and so President Trump recognised that right away and got to work on it when he came into office in January.”

Senator Ted Cruz wrote on the X social media platform that “President Trump committed ANYTHING Texas needs”, while telling a press conference: “There’s a time to have political fights, there’s a time to disagree. This is not that time.”

Trump himself has struck a similar tone, deflecting questions about whether he is still planning to phase out Fema. He said he does not plan to re-hire any of the federal meteorologists who were fired this year as part of widespread government spending cuts.

The president told reporters on Sunday: “That water situation, that all is, and that was really the Biden setup. But I wouldn’t blame Biden for it, either. I would just say this is a 100-year catastrophe.”

But scrutiny of whether more could have been done to avoid the tragedy is already under way. Texas officials criticised the NWS, arguing that it failed to warn the public about impending danger.

The NWS defended its forecasting and emergency management, stating that it assigned extra forecasters to the San Antonio and San Angelo offices over the holiday weekend. But a top leadership role at the NWS’s San Antonio office has been vacant since earlier this year after Paul Yura accepted an offer from the Trump administration to retire....>

  perfidious: Turning catastrophe into deflecting blame:

<....Doge, formerly led by the billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, has been pushing the NWS to cut jobs and gave hundreds of employees the option to retire early rather than face potential dismissal.

Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, asked the commerce department’s acting inspector general to investigate whether staffing vacancies at the NWS’s San Antonio office contributed to “delays, gaps, or diminished accuracy” in forecasting the flooding. Republicans accused Democrats of seeking to politicise the tragedy.

Wilson, a political consultant who has worked on numerous campaigns, said: “It is an ongoing family psychodrama inside the Republican party, where everyone is desperately, deeply afraid that they will put a foot wrong with Donald Trump and that’s why there’s absolutely no candour with these folks about what has happened to the people they represent.”

Some commentators suggest that Republicans will ultimately pay a political price for their blind devotion and for last week passing Trump’s cost-cutting Big, Beautiful Act.

Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, said: “It’s a vision of the future because every time there is something tragic that happens, not just a natural disaster but a mass shooting or you fill in the blank, somebody is going to find a connection to these deep cuts in government engineered by Trump and Musk.

“I think Trump and the Republicans need to get used to this. It may not hurt Trump, but it could potentially and should hurt some of the members of Congress from competitive states and districts that voted for the BBB.”>

  perfidious: As the regime's private little war against Harvard reels on:

<The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sent administrative subpoenas to Harvard demanding information about foreign students, the latest move in the legal battle between the Trump administration and the Ivy League college.

Harvard called the subpoenas "unwarranted," but has said it would cooperate.

DHS said its hand was forced on the subpoenas because Harvard had not complied with noncoercive requests related to its Student Visitor and Exchange Program (SVEP) certification.

The first request, made in April, was for information about "criminality and misconduct" of foreign students on campus.

"If Harvard won't defend the interests of its students, then we will," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem posted to her X account.

"We tried to do things the easy way with Harvard. Now, through their refusal to cooperate, we have to do things the hard way. Harvard, like other universities, has allowed foreign students to abuse their visa privileges and advocate for violence and terrorism on campus."

Harvard Responds to DHS

A spokesperson for Harvard said in a statement sent to Newsweek that the college "is committed to following the law, and while the government's subpoenas are unwarranted, the University will continue to cooperate with lawful requests and obligations."

"The administration's ongoing retaliatory actions come as Harvard continues to defend itself and its students, faculty, and staff against harmful government overreach aimed at dictating whom private universities can admit and hire, and what they can teach," they said.

"Harvard remains unwavering in its efforts to protect its community and its core principles against unfounded retribution by the federal government."

Trump Takes on Elite Colleges

The administration is taking on Harvard and other elite colleges that it says are in the grip of a leftist ideology, which has led to antisemitism on campus, anti-meritocratic admissions policies that prioritize race above ability, and abuse of the immigration system.

Colleges have expressed willingness to engage with the Trump Administration on some of the reforms it has demanded of them, but also accused government officials of political meddling that undermines academic and First Amendment freedoms on campus.

Harvard SEVP Certification Under Threat

DHS has sought to terminate Harvard's SEVP certification, which enables it to enroll foreign students who can then secure visas.

It accused Harvard of "permitting anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals, including many Jewish students".

In its latest release, DHS said there are "allegations of disciplinary disparity involving nonimmigrant students" and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is demanding documentation and other relevant records dating back to January 1, 2020.

But the college filed a suit against the SEVP revocation in a Massachusetts federal court and secured a preliminary injunction in June.

"This case is about core constitutional rights that must be safeguarded: freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and freedom of speech, each of which is a pillar of a functioning democracy and an essential hedge against authoritarianism," wrote U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs in her preliminary injunction on June 23.

The Trump Administration has also suspended billions of dollars in federal grant money and other funding from Harvard after it refused to back down and make the various governance, disciplinary, and admissions changes it wanted.

Harvard has also challenged these moves to withhold funding in court and has a hearing set for July 21.>

  perfidious: Are they wrong, though?

<Former cable news commentators who lost their status after radically opposing President Donald Trump for the last decade are at it again. This time they're fearmongering about security issues related to the upcoming 2026 midterms.

Anti-Trump former MSNBC host Joy Reid spoke with Wajahat Ali on "The Left Hook" last week, claiming that people who believe future elections are going to be fair are “insane" for thinking so.

“Whenever Democrats say to me... 'We have to coalesce for 2026,’ I always add to the end of that sentence: ‘Yeah, assuming we actually have free and fair elections,’” she said. “I think it’s insane, honestly, to just assume we’re going to have normal elections next year. I don't assume that."

"The way Trump is behaving, he's not acting like somebody who worries that his party will lose power, or even if somehow we had normal elections and Democrats took control of either the House or the Senate, he's not acting like somebody who's worried about the consequences of that," Reid added.

She also accused Republicans of attempting to implement a "fascist manifesto" in the form of Project 2025, showing opposition to the "13th, 14th and 15th" constitutional amendments aimed at ending slavery, and not wanting "white women to have any rights."

Oh, and she thinks Trump will never leave office. Wow. That's a lot to unpack.

Reid is known for her Trump derangement issues, which contributed to her firing by MSNBC back in February due to poor ratings. During an interview following her firing, she broke down sobbing while insisting that "my show had value."

Apparently, it didn't have enough value. It turns out no one wants to hear progressive rabbit hole theories that have little evidence to back them up, with bitter anger and racial animosity looming over each talking point.

Another mainstream media fossil who's been put out to pasture is former CNN host and White House correspondent Jim Acosta.

Acosta, who is also anti-Trump, quit CNN back in January after receiving a humbling demotion.

He had former Bill Clinton advisor James Carville on his podcast last week and brought up the idea of "vote tampering."

"Do you worry about vote tampering in the midterms?" he asked Carville. "Do you worry about Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and some of these types monkeying around with the midterms?"

Carville replied, "Yes," adding that he "wouldn't put anything past" the commander-in-chief.

Here we have three has-beens who've almost always attacked Trump, and who were left by the wayside, claiming Republicans are going to sabotage the integrity of the upcoming election.

My, oh my, how the tables have turned. There was a time not so long ago when woke pundits and Democratic lawmakers claimed voter fraud was a "myth" and preached that it was nearly impossible.

Even when the world was on lockdown, and relied on an entirely new -- and vulnerable -- voting system with mass mail-in ballots, it was considered treason to question any aspect of Joe Biden's 81 million votes.

Yet before a single vote has even been cast for the 2026 election, which is over a year away, these pundits are trying to convince the public it's fixed. This strategy has been financially profitable for them in the past, so they will continue their pandering to fringe elements of the far-left.

Ironically, they will likely never realize that this is also the main reason they've found themselves out in the cold.

Due to a lack of self-reflection -- and too much self-importance -- they are destined to sing this same old song until the music stops, or until they come to their senses. The public shouldn't hold its breath on either account.>
