Today’s Thoughts

Nice spring day. Still recovering…I see the Dr. tomorrow.

The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), has been around since the 1970’s. It was to allow Native tribes to be part of the child’s life. It has been very successful even with numerous lawsuits to take away the power of the law. Today the SCOTUS upheld the law. A great win for the Native tribes of America.

The media is asking the Republican Presidential candidates if they will pardon Trump if elected President. Come on, there has not been a trial to determine guilt or innocence. Let the law play out. Then ask. This is putting the cart before the horse. I am not a politician, but even I can see any answer to that question must be very carefully worded.

Enjoy

 

History revisited

Anne Frank And Martin Luther King Jr. Were Born The Same Year

Anne Frank is one of the most discussed figures of the Holocaust due to her posthumously-published The Diary of a Young Girl. Unfortunately, the world only knows her as the young girl in the pictures before she was extinguished by the Nazis.

On the other hand, Martin Luther King Jr. is arguably one of the greatest icons of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Yet, although they represent different portions of world history, both were born in the same year of 1929.

Historic Events

• 1858 – Abraham Lincoln gave his “a house divided against itself cannot stand” speech.
• 1938 – The planet Krypton blew up, DC Comics
• 2010 – Bhutan became the first country to institute a total ban on tobacco.
• 2016 – Shanghai Disneyland Park, the first Disney Park in Mainland China, opened to the public.
