LEFT-CENTER BIASVenezuela's inflation hits more than 40,000% as everyone dumps its currency 'like a hot potato'
Inflation in Venezuela rose above the 40,000% mark this week. The Maduro regime is bleeding money. Some economists say the economy will continue to spiral as long as Maduro holds power.

Is the Joker right to say that if conventional morality is consequentialist, meaning that moral rules can be broken in some circumstances, then it only makes sense to live without any moral rules at all?

The Left needs to face reality: Trump is winning
To understand the madness gripping American leftists, try to see the world through their eyes. Presto, you’re now part of the raging resistance. Like the Palestinians who mark Israel’s birth as their nakba, or tragedy, you regard Donald Trump’s 2016 victory as a catastrophe. It’s the last thing you think of most nights, and the first thing most mornings. You can’t shake it or escape it. Whatever you watch, listen to or read, there are reminders — Donald Trump really is president.

This was the third time that Muslims have attacked Jos Archbishop Benjamin Kwashi. The first time they stole his cattle. The second time they came to kill him. He was gone and so they savaged his wife, assaulting her womanhood, and left her half-dead. Last night all of his cattle were stolen by (Muslim) Fulani tribesmen, and when his dear neighbor Ayuba heard and shined a light on the rustlers, he was shot dead.

Glorious gardens: Spokane group tours some of England’s most majestic grounds
Our journey from Spokane to see 12 spectacular gardens and – perhaps even more importantly – attend the Chelsea Flower Show, required three home bases: the Cotswolds, East Sussex and London.
How TV has brought the Western into the 21st century
While the Western, traditional or otherwise, has been left for dead by Hollywood movie studios, neo-Westerns such as “Yellowstone” are finding a home on television, which can better accommodate a niche genre than risk-averse blockbusters. Western themes of identity, enterprise, power and violence are made newly relevant, shot through with the gun-toting brio that once enthralled audiences in the genre’s heyday.
Jim Camden: Remembering when Spokesman-Review newsroom ‘security’ was our elevator operator
When I came to The Spokesman-Review in 1981, the historic newspaper building had no security to speak of. The way to the newsroom was the same for anyone: Walk through the revolving doors at the base of the tower, past the marble and brass counters and either ring for the elevator or walk up the wide, open staircase. The elevator had an operator, so in a sense that was our security, although Amy was about 5 feet tall, asking “Floor please” in a quiet voice to anyone she didn’t recognize, and “Passageway out, please” if the car was crowded when she stopped at a floor. Many people just climbed the broad wooden steps to the third floor and strolled into the newsroom.
Sue Lani Madsen: Declaration of Indepence should guide us on immigration reform
The political bands connecting us are fraying. Civil communication is unraveling and common ground is elusive. As we celebrate the Declaration of Independence this Fourth of July, we need to return to the heritage that holds us together as a nation of immigrants. Humans have been migrating since the first Australopithecus afarensis stepped out of Africa, Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden, and Creator let loose Coyote. All creation stories end with humans spreading across the Earth. All of us have a migration story, some older than others.
