cannot be sued_ as the Trump Admin. had argued that

they had provided +$1 billion to HAMAS in advance of

Oct. 7, 2023 sneak attack - killings - kidnappings of

Israelis and foreign nationals from Kibbutzs and Jewish

settlements near Gaza / / /

Federal Judge Analisa Torres of

Manhattan, NY Federal District Court ruled that 

100 Israeli plaintiffs had no standing due to the 

immunity accorded to the United Nations.  That was

the legal opinion of the Biden (POTUS 46 administration)

and it had been "wrong" in a letter to the judge in April 2025

from Trump-Vance staffers / legal reps.

Acquainted with the night

 By POET LAUREATE

Robert Frost :

from 

Robert Frost's Poems - 

St. Martin's Paperbacks (2002)

I have been one acquainted with the night.

I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.

I have out walked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.

I have passed by the watchman on his beat

and dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet

When far away an interrupted cry

Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;

And further still at an unearthly height,

One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.

I have been one acquainted with the night.

can be found in The Poets Laureate Anthology  W.W. Norton

(2010) page 477

Here they are.  The soft eyes open.

If they have lived in a wood 

It is a wood

If they have lived on plains

It is grass rolling

Under their feet forever. 

Having no souls, they have come,

Anyway, beyond their knowing,

Their instincts wholly bloom

And they rise.

The soft eyes open.

To match them, the landscape flowers,

Outdoing, desperately

Outdoing what is required:

The richest wood,

The deepest field.

For some of these,

It could not be the place

It is, without blood.

These hunt, as they have done,

But with claws and teeth grown perfect,

More deadly than they can believe.

They stalk more silently,

And crouch on the limbs of trees,

And their descent

Upon the bright backs of their prey

May take years

In a sovereign floating of joy.

And those that are hunted

Know this as their life,

Their reward: to walk

Under such trees in full knowledge

Of what is in glory above them.

And to feel no fear,

But acceptance, compliance

Fulfilling themselves without pain

At the cycle's center,

They tremble, they walk

Under the tree,

They fall, they are torn,

They rise, they walk again.

Aeschylus - - And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart. . .

from Blog discussing "Blue Bloods" as a CBS drama series:

During the family dinner scene of this episode "Unbearable Loss," Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) reveals that he has been asked to speak at the funeral and shares the quote that he plans to use –- a quote from Aeschylus’ Agamemnon (lines 179-183):

“And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”

The main purpose of this reference, on the surface, is to convey through the evocative language of Aeschylus the intensity of the suffering and grief that accompanies a loss. Frank had intended to share this quote at the funeral of his eldest son Joe, who died in the line of duty, but couldn’t find the will to do so at the time. Now, by making use of this quote, Frank demonstrates his understanding and sympathy for the reverend’s loss through an expression of the pain and suffering he himself has gone through.

chapter 2

That's the reason for the

special connection autistic

people like me have to 

animals.

Autistic people's

frontal lobes almost

never work as well

as normal people's do,

so our brain function

ends up being somewhere

in between human and

animal.  We use our animal

brains more than normal

people do, because we have

to.  We don't have any choice.

Autistic people are closer to

animals than normal people are.

The price human beings pay

for having such big, fat

frontal lobes is that

normal people become

oblivious in a way animals

and autistic people aren't.

Normal people stop seeing the

details that make up the big

picture and see only the big

picture instead.

Lindsey Halligan's vague charges against Veteran Lawman James Comey

The brand new acting U.S. attorney for Eastern Virginia

Lindsey Halligan

had 3 chores last Thursday:

to navigate an unfamiliar courthouse,

make her first-ever appearance in a criminal case,

indict one of President Donald John Trump's enemies.

She took over on Monday 9/22/25 when her predecessor

quit rather than prosecute James Comey, former FBI

director.

She had a little trouble last Thursday :

at one point she entered the wrong courtroom,

when she found the right one, she stood on the

wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused

about the paperwork she had just signed.

But she did accomplish the third "chore" --

Lindsey Halligan has assured her place in

judicial and law enforcement history -- her motion

before a Federal Judge has indicted_ a former

FBI Director -- that task mattered most to her

personal boss, Donald John Trump.  She was

a personal lawyer to him in Florida between his

terms as POTUS 45 and POTUS 47, during the

accusations of stealing classified documents / data

and warehousing in various rooms / closets, et cetera

at Mar - a - Lago, golf resort, private club/residence,

Palm Springs, FL.

IN the opening days of Sept. 29 - Oct. 3, 2025

nature of the

The Shapes of Leaves

 U.S. Poet Laureate Arthur Tze

from collection Archipelago (1995)

Gingko, cottonwood, pin oak, sweet gum, tulip tree:

our emotions resemble leaves and alive

to their shapes we are nourished.

Have you felt the expanse and contours of grief

along the edges of a big Norway maple?

Have you winced at the orange flare

wearing the curves of a curling dogwood?

I have seen from the air logged islands,

each with a network of branching gravel roads,

and felt a moment of pure anger, Aspen gold.

I have seen sandhill cranes moving in an open field,

a single white whooping crane in the flock.

And I have traveled along the contours

of leaves that have no name.  Here

where the air is wet and the light is cool,

I feel what others are thinking and do not speak

I know pleasure in the veins of a sugar maple,

I am living at the edge of a new leaf.

Redshifting Web

 by America's newest POET

LAUREATE

Arthur Sze

#8 of the 9-stanza full-length

poem

I find a rufous hummingbird on the floor

of a greenhouse, sense a redshifting

along the radial string of a web.

You may draw a cloud pattern in cement

setting in a patio, or wake to

sparkling ferns melting on a windowpane.

The struck, plucked, bowed, blown

sounds of the world come and go.

As first light enters a telescope

and one sees light of a star when the star

has vanished, I see a finch at a feeder,

beans germinating in darkness;

a man with a pole pulls yarn out

of an indigo vat, twists and untwists it;

I hear a shout as a child finds Boletus

barrowsii under ponderosa pine;

I see you wearing an onyx-and-gold pin.

In curved space, is a line a circle?

Desmond Mpilo Tutu

 received the Nobel Peace Prize (1984) for his

work to non-violently replace an apartheid system

of oppressive government with a multi-racial, just

system with governance that covered all of it citizenry

"I come from a beautiful land,

richly endowed by God with

wonderful natural resources,

wide expanses, rolling

mountains, singing birds,

bright shining stars out of

blue skies, with radiant

sunshine, golden sunshine.

There is enough of the good

things that come from God's

bounty; there is enough for

everyone.  But apartheid has

confirmed some in their

selfishness, causing them to

grasp greedily a disproportionate

share, the lion's share, because

of their power. . .There is no

peace in Southern Africa.  There

is no peace because there is no

justice.  There can be no real peace

and security until there be first

justice enjoyed by all inhabitants

of that beautiful land.  The Bible

knows nothing about peace without

justice, for that would be crying,

'Peace, Peace, where there is no Peace'.

God's Shalom peace involves

inevitably righteousness,

justice,

wholeness,

fullness of life,

participation in decision making,

goodness, 

laughter,

joy,

compassion, 

sharing,

and reconciliation."

Albert Schweitzer - Laureate for Peace, 1952 - acceptance comments -- Nobel Prize, Oslo, Norway

 "The spirit is not dead;

it lives in isolation.  It

has overcome the difficulty

of having to exist in a world

out of harmony with its

ethical character.  It has come

to realize that it can find 

no home other than in the

basic nature of man. . .

It is convinced that compassion,

in which ethics takes root,

does not assume its true proportions

until it embraces not only man but

every living being.  To the old

ethics, which lacked this depth

and force of conviction, has been

added the ethics of

reverence for life,

and its validity is steadily gaining

in recognition."

Ralph Bunche, diplomat

 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, 1950

Peace is no mere matter of 

men fighting or not fighting.

Peace, to have meaning for

many who have known only

suffering in both peace and

war, must be translated into

bread or rice,

shelter,

health,

and education, 

as well as freedom &

human dignity -- a steadily

better life.  If peace is to

be secure, long-suffering

and long-starved, forgotten

people of the world, the

underprivileged and the

undernourished, must begin

to realize without delay the

promise of a new day and

a new life."

A little more than 100 years ago -- Warren G. Harding -- who loved Golf, Baseball

 Avid fan of baseball, often throwing out the first pitch;

would even attend "Opening Day" of Baseball schedule

for the "Washington Senators";

in 1921 Harding attended the U.S. Open (golf)

and awarded the trophy to Champion Jim Barnes;

when he became president in 1921 he pledged to

return the country after W.W. I and the Influenza ("Spanish

Flu") epidemic that was worldwide to

normalcy after the era of Progressive

reform and world war.

Harding died suddenly August 2, 1923

and his vice-president was awakened

at his family farm in Vermont and

immediately sworn into office :

Calvin Coolidge.  Republicans would

continue to hold the Executive branch

through the 1928 - 1933 (Feb. 28) administration

of Herbert Hoover.

President Trump, who apparently watches

quite a bit of TV at the White House,

saw those images of me thanking the cops

escorting me as I flew back to Washington, D.C. . .

The President exploded.  He ordered that I was

not to be allowed back on FBI property again,

ever.  My former staff boxed up my belongings

as if I had died and delivered them to my home.

The order kept me from seeing and offering some

measure of closure to the people of the FBI, with

whom I had become very close. . .Trump had done

a lot of yelling during the 2016 campaign about

McCabe (who assumed acting FBI director responsibility)

and had fixated on Mrs. McCabe. . ."Your wife lost

her election in Virginia, didn't she?"

He replied, "Yes, she did,"  POTUS then said to

the acting director of the FBI, "Ask her how it feels

to be a loser" and hung up the phone.

 Oscar Arias Sanchez :

acceptance speech excerpt

at 1987 Nobel Peace Prize

ceremony at Oslo, Norway :

"Peace is not a matter of prizes

or trophies.  It is not the product

of a victory or command.  It has

no finishing line, no final

deadline, no fixed definition of

achievement.

Peace is a never-ending process, the

work of many decisions by many

people in many countries.  It is an

attitude, a way of life, a way of solving

problems and resolving conflicts.

It cannot be forced on the smallest

nation or enforced by the largest.

It cannot ignore our difference or

overlook our common interests.  It

requires us to work and live together."

Dalai Lama - Recipient of Nobel Peace Prize (1989)

 Acceptance Speech

"Peace in the sense of the

absence of war, is of little

value to someone who is

dying of hunger or cold.

It will not remove the pain

of torture inflicted on a

prisoner of conscience.  It 

does not comfort those who 

have lost their loved ones

in floods caused by senseless

deforestation in a neighboring

country.  Peace can only last

where human rights are 

respected, where the people

are fed, and where individuals

and nations are free."

Heart of Autumn

 Robert Penn Warren

(1905 - 1989)

Wind finds the northwest gap, fall comes.

Today, under gray cloud-scud and over gray

Wind-flicker of forest, in perfect formation, wild geese

Head for a land of warm water, the boom, the lead pellet.

Some crumple in air, fall.  Some stagger, recover control,

Then take the last glide for a far glint of water. None

Knows what has happened.  Now, today, watching

How tirelessly V upon V arrows the season's logic.

Do I know my own story?  At least, they know

When the hour comes for the great wing-beat.  Sky-strider,

Star-strider -- they rise, and the imperial utterance,

Which cries out for distance, quivers in the wheeling sky.

That much they know, and in their nature know

The path of pathlessness, with all the joy

Of destiny fulfilling its own name.

I have known time and distance, but not why I am here.

Path of logic, path of folly, all

The same -- and I stand, my face lifted now skyward.

Hearing the high beat, my arms outstretched in the tingling

Process of transformation, and soon tough legs.

With folded feet, trail in the sounding vacuum of passage,

And my heart is impacted with a fierce impulse

To unworkable utterance --

Toward sunset, at a great height.

Judge Robert H. Jackson, Supreme Court Justice

 Quoted as an Epigram for A Higher Loyalty

by James Comey -- his 11th chapter, p. 188

Safety lies in the prosecutor

who tempers zeal with

human kindness, who seeks

truth and not victims, who 

serves the law and not factional

purposes, and who approaches

his task with humility.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower (late in life, a two-term President)

 The supreme quality for

leadership is unquestionably

integrity.  Without it,

no real success is possible,

whether it is on a section

gang, a football field, in

an army, or in an office.

Chapter 4 Epigram : A_HIGHER_LOYALTY

 Author James Comey, former FBI Director

I have always believed,

and I still believe,

or bad fortune may

Exposition of Psalm 36, verse 6 : "Men and Beasts YOU will save, O LORD"

 St. Augustine of Hippo used what were the

Latin translations of the Hebrew BOOK of

the Psalms : for our Psalm 36: 6 he read

Men and beasts you will save, Lord, as your

mercy has been multiplied. . .

Augustine's exposition / commentary

on this verse [WSA 21st Century

Expositions on the Psalms, vol. III, 

p. 82 :translator Maria Boulding] :

He has already said, "Your

mercy is in heaven" and now

to indicate this is on earth

as well, he says, MEN AND

BEASTS YOU WILL SAVE, LORD. . .

Great is your mercy, and manifold

is your mercy, O God, and you

give it to both humans and animals.

From whom does the salvation of

humans [Latin salus : means 

'health, safety, well-being' ]

proceed?  From God.  Does not

the good estate of the beasts come

from God too?  He who made

the animals as well, and he who

made both saves both; but the

salvation of the beasts is the safety

and health that belong within time.

Yet there are people who make a

great point of begging from God

what he has given even to animals.

Your Mercy Has Been Multiplied,

O GOD! in that you not only grant

salvation to human beings, but

give also to the beasts what you

give to humans, a carnal and

temporal salvation!

Psalm 36: 5 - 6

 New Revised Standard Version

(updated edition, 2021, NCCC USA)

Your steadfast love, O Lord

extends to the heavens,

your faithfulness is like the

mighty mountains;

your judgments are like

the great deep;

you save humans and animals

alike, O Lord!
