The Perils | Hate | Velva | 1966

The Perils' 1966 single "Hate" / "Baby, Do You Love Me?" on Velva Records features a raw garage punk sound. The track "Hate" expresses intense disdain towards a girlfriend, while the flip side is a faster frat-style song lacking a guitar break. Limited information about the band exists, making it an obscure find.

"The Atlantic’s David Frum discusses the American seizure of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and President Donald Trump’s deeply flawed thinking about Venezuelan oil. David argues that Trump’s worldview of exploitation and predation is likely to doom his ambitions in Venezuela rather than secure them.

David is then joined by the national-security analyst David Rothkopf to examine the U.S. military operation in Venezuela and the Trump administration’s alarming lack of a coherent plan for what comes next. Rothkopf explores what it means for a president to sideline or altogether ignore the National Security Council before launching a major military action. Together, Rothkopf and Frum speculate about possible outcomes of the Maduro operation that Trump appears not to have considered.

Finally, David closes with his thoughts on Rudyard Kipling’s “Recessional” and the poem’s warning about national boasting, overreach, and the perils of collective foolishness."—The Atlantic.

Proud & Impassioned, #Biden Passes The Torch At The #DNC

In a valedictory speech in #Chicago, the President mapped his #legacy & asked to be remembered as a man who pulled the country from the maw of #tragedy—from the #perils of #covid, of #Trump, of total paralysis in Washington.… His is an unfinished story— not yet a redemption. But, on this evening, he wound down his speech w/a favorite lyric, by Gene Scheer: “America, I gave my best to you.”
