What's the key difference between our two political parties? Republicans play politics, Democrats exercise power.

History has a savage sense of humor.

After FDR died, Hubert Humphrey labored mightily to rid the Democratic Party of its Communists and pro-Stalinists. It's a good joke on the part of the Almighty that his Minnesota DFL became the hypodermic for a Communist pro-Putin reinfection.

I composed this @WSJopinion piece after the 2022 midterms. I think it's more relevant this midterm cycle, than ever: wsj.com/articles/gop-needs-t…

Opinion | Republicans Need to Embrace Early Voting

Election Day matters less than it used to. Unless the GOP adapts, it is doomed to keep losing.

I helped secure more than $11 million in federal funding from @USDOT modernize the port at Burns Harbor in northwest Indiana. Indiana’s location along the Great Lakes gives our state a unique advantage in moving goods, and this investment will expand shipping operations and support American commerce. Thank you to @SecDuffy for his partnership in supporting this important project.

This is because climate change is a religion, not a scientific proposition, i.e. beyond counter evidence or refutation.

He has always been a poseur as a philosopher and now he’s an old witless poseur who is literally denying his own supposedly deep work to come to a fashionable conclusion. Probably because his grandchildren were in the encampments.

This is true. It's also important not to conflate scholasticism with Thomism.
Steve Fuller@ProfSteveFullerOct 26
Replying to @thomistically
Sure, I know that's what Thomists think. But as soon as you talk about 'revealed tradition', you've given up on Pragmatism. Maybe you're confusing Pragmatism with Inductivism.

That whole era of Australia's naval officers had been through WW1 as Midshipmen and junior officers and then through all the years of WW2 - of those that survived, some even backed up for Korea.

This is the heart of WJ. I'd argue of C S Peirce as well. Ideas is how we maneuver our way through uncertainty. The bad ones leave us run aground.
Steve Fuller@ProfSteveFullerOct 22
The ultimate reason that Medieval Scholasticism failed was its failure to show that conceptual distinctions made a material difference. William James' Pragmatism is based on this insight. This is how Pragmatism remains powerful for me, and why Popper took it seriously.

I seem to remember something about student protests, REAL student protests, in some square in Beijing. There are pictures of that, too.

This is obvious propaganda slop meant to contrast the West with the nation represented by these tourists. It’s everywhere on X. Reminder that China operates the world’s most sophisticated techno authoritarian state and dissent is illegal. Also, France needs to crack down on these anti-West riots for all of our sake.
