Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

Trump’s Trip Was a Catastrophe for U.S.-Europe Relations
Angela Merkel has served formal notice that she will lead the German wandering away from the American alliance.
David Frum May 28, 2017
Seven years after the end of the Second World War, on the 10th of March 1952, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the newly established Federal Republic of Germany received an astounding note from the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union offered to withdraw the troops that then occupied eastern Germany and to end its rule over the occupied zone. Germany would be reunited under a constitution that allowed the country freedom to choose its own social system. Germany would even be allowed to rebuild its military, and all Germans except those convicted of war crimes would regain their political rights. In return, the Allied troops in western Germany would also be withdrawnâand reunited Germany would be forbidden to join the new NATO alliance.
………………………..
But in the end ⌠it didnât work. The alliance held. The Soviet bid for dominance collapsed, as did the Soviet Union itself. Germany was reunited on Western terms: liberal and Atlanticist from the Moselle to the Oder. The deft diplomacy of President George H.W. Bush and Brent Scowcroft over-mastered the objections of Moscowâand not just Moscow. âI love Germany so much that I am grateful there are two of themâ went a quip usually attributed to the French novelist Francois Mauriac. For many in London and Paris, Margaret Thatcher and Francois Mitterrand very much included, the quip was no joke. Much of the present malfunctioning architecture of the European Unionâincluding the lethal euro currencyâoriginated in French demands for reassurance that reunification would lead to âa European Germany, not a German Europe.â
Without the United States, German reunification would never have proceeded so smoothly or rapidly. That assistance is still gratefully remembered in Germany. But gratitude cuts only so much ice in international relations. When the U.S. tried to mobilize the European powers to manage the breakup of Yugoslavia, Germany balked at the risk. But it was the George W. Bush-Gerhard Schroeder split over the Iraq war in 2003 that definitively ended German deference to American leadership.
Since then, Germany has deferred less and less to the United Statesâand walked more and more its own path. Germans cheered candidate Obama in 2008, but German-U.S. relations if anything sank even lower under President Obama than under President Bush. Merkel ignored Obamaâs pleas to reflate the German economy after the financial crisis of 2008 and the euro crisis of 2010. The Snowden revelationsâincluding exaggerated claims that the United States had tapped Merkelâs ubiquitous personal cellphoneâpoisoned the mood even more deeply. In June 2014, Germany took the unprecedented step of expelling the senior U.S. intelligence officer in Berlin, even announcing the action over Twitter. (Never mind that it soon emerged that German intelligence had itself scooped up a Hillary Clinton phone call.) Hereâs a link to an RT story gleefullyâbut accurately ânoting that the percentage of Germans expressing trust in the United States had plunged from 76 percent after Obamaâs election to 35 percent by 2014. Sixty percent of Germans characterized Edward Snowden as a hero.
Whoever was elected president in 2016 would face quite a challenge renewing and rebuilding the German relationship. Trump has instead done further damage.
The important role of aunts and uncles in childrenâs lives
By Monica Leftwich
May 26
My brother-in-law and I have taken turns watching each othersâ kids almost every weekend for the past year. Whether itâs me keeping my nephews or my daughters going to his place, weâve done a pretty great job at keeping the cousins very close.
And itâs always elegant ruckus when the kids are together. Yes, at the end of the week with them, my house looks like a disaster area. Deserted pizza boxes decorate my kitchen floor, and my laundry loads have increased twofold. But I get to bond with them, especially with my oldest nephew, in a special way that I donât get to experience with my own children. He confides in me his worries with academics, broken friendship and other touchy topics he may not want to share with others. For instance, he was not performing well in his English class and was too aghast to tell his parents right away so he laid his vexation on my shoulders over Chinese takeout.
And all with a conviction of a very real trust he sees in me. Not like I was his âAunt Moni,â as they so lovingly call me. But like I was his good friend; a friend that listens without the immediate judgment and lambasting parents deliver when they receive unappealing news about their kids.
The beautiful thing is the roles as aunt (the maternal authority figure who is to be respected) and nephew (the developing young man with his own ideals and outlook on life) are still acknowledged and abided by.
The role of a loving aunt or uncle in a childâs life should be a cherished one and, more important, a necessary one. So why does it feel like they are kind of underrated when it comes to building that village of support to raise a family?
Melanie Notkin, founder of SavvyAuntie.com, told Forbes it is because âthereâs no obligation of the aunt or uncle, unlike parenting; once you parent a child you have a legal obligation.â Aunts and uncles donât have to be involved so much as they choose to be involved. But thereâs never such a thing as too much love to give to a child. In fact, Notkin argues the more aunts and uncles a child has in their lives, the more positive influences they could have later in life.

Good Morning, Everyone
I can’t bear to listen to that fraud speak on #MemorialDay knowing he mocked a Gold Star Family who sacrificed everything. Pains my soul.
