I read Moby Dick in high school then again years later when I was older. It was a White Man imagination about a bad assed white whale and the captain who followed it around the world. It was a good story if you like sailing, the old time way. In real life there were many White European sailors, military men, revolutionaries, and others who became Muslim pirates. They changed their religion to join up with the Arab/Muslim governors and got their Flag to sail on the high sea off the Barbary Coast.
Columbus went to Queen Elizabeth, Admiral Bering turned to the Russians for a job, and your average pirate had maybe a five year life expectancy, making loyalty a matter how long you expected to live and how much you were paid.

Kellyanne Conway broke the law. But "so what", says Trump. Another day, another lawbreaker in Trump's inner circle. The United States Office of Special Counsel says Kellyanne repeatedly violated the Hatch Act by making in political statements while being an advisor to Trump. The Office of Special Counsel is headed by a Republican, Trump appointee. They recommend she be immediately fired. Trump is ignoring them.

Sarah Sanders, one of the last original top Trump aides, leaving White House By Kathryn Watson, Fin Gomez June 13, 2019 / 7:27 PM / CBS News Sarah Sanders, one of the last original top Trump aides, leaving White House
Half of Moby Dick is just descriptions of whales. I don't know how I made it through the whole thing. By the end I wasn't absorbing information, just reading text without absorbing any of it.
American literature is not famous for its artistic style, and English is better for engineering and business.
Sarah is to the Trump administration what Larry is to The Three Stooges. You can do without her but it won't be as stupid.
I guess Donald Trump doesn't like the idea of Harriet Tubman on the $20 for U.S. currency. He says it's "pure political correctness". Interesting... I like the idea. I think it shows a spirit of anti-racism that this country is in desperate need of.
Trump's order to slash number of science advisory boards blasted by critics as 'nonsensical' "It's no longer death by a thousand cuts. It's taking a knife to the jugular,” one science advocate said of the order to eliminate a third of the advisory boards. By Phil McCausland June 15, 2019, 4:11 PM EDT Trump's order to slash number of science advisory boards blasted by critics as 'nonsensical' excerpt: "The Union of Concerned Scientists found in a study last year that between 2016 and 2017 the number of science advisory committees across all agencies decreased by 20 percent and their membership decreased by 14 percent. Goldman said that Trump's ordered cut will greatly exacerbate this trend. “They’re escalating by saying they will get rid of a third of them arbitrarily,” Goldman said over the phone. “This is really nonsensical because there is not any reason to do that. It’s not costing the government much money because they’re not compensating people for their time or expertise, just mostly paying their travel expenses.”"
