Many of us have heard of Occam's Razor. It is a principle which states that the simplest explanation to a problem is often correct. An explanation is simpler if it involves fewer suppositions. According to Occam's Razor, Donald Trump is a compromised Russian asset.

How does she write about these terrible things that are happening, and that she predicted would happen, with such beautiful, fascinating skill? She wrote this about the late great Georgia O’Keeffe, but it applies to her as well. “She wanted to show a cruel world something beautiful without lying.”
