I’M IN THIS, AND BY PURE COINCIDENCE SO IS MY HUSBAND:   Stellaris: People of the Stars.

NEW STORIES AND ESSAYS FROM TOP AUTHORS AND EXPERT SCIENTISTS. Explorations of how interstellar travel may affect humanity by best-selling authors and scientists.

The stars will change us.

STELLARIS: PEOPLE OF THE STARS is a collection of original science fiction stories and nonfiction essays speculating about humanity’s far-term expansion into the universe beyond the limits of our solar system—with an emphasis on the changes humans will undergo as a species as we make this happen. Is interstellar travel so far beyond our current imaginings that it will take a fundamental transformation of humanity in order to make it possible? And, if so, will we remain Homo sapiens or become a new and unique species—Homo stellaris (the People of the Stars)?

Herein are original science fiction stories by award-winning authors such as Kevin J. Anderson, William Ledbetter, Todd McCaffrey and Sarah A. Hoyt, supplemented by accessible nonfiction essays describing the science behind the fiction from people who should know—Sir Martin Rees (Astronomer Royal of the United Kingdom), Mark Shelhamer (Chief Scientist for the NASA’s Human Research Program), and more.

This collection of original stories and essays was inspired by a gathering of scientists, science fiction authors, and futurists at a series of annual meetings held by the Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop. Let their speculations, imaginations and boundless sense of what’s possible take your own journey beyond the edge of the solar system in STELLARIS: PEOPLE OF THE STARS!

LIBERAL ESTABLISHMENT’S $600 MILLION SECRET FUNDING NETWORK: How many times have we heard from liberals about the evils of “dark money” — anonymous contributions — poured into conservative campaigns and advocacy by the likes of the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson and Phil Anschutz? But guess what, the liberals are even better at it, according to the Washington Free Beacon’s indispensable Joe Schoffstall, who exposes yet another massive secret funding network on the Left:

“The massive cash flow came from Arabella Advisors, a D.C.-based organization that says it provides ‘strategic guidance for effective philanthropy.’ In reality, the group does far more, funneling hundreds of millions of dollars in anonymous donations to some of the most influential advocacy groups on the left,” Schoffstall reports today. If you are familiar with the Tides Foundation and the Democracy Alliance, you know Arabella isn’t entirely original.

But one unique way Arabella — established by former Obama appointee and Clinton Global Initiative operative Eric Kessler — is stepping beyond conventional dark money maneuvering , however, is how it provides rich liberals a way to conceal their identities as they fund left-wing activism: Arabella is behind a couple of groups that lend their tax-exempt status to newly organized lefty outfits that have not yet been recognized by the IRS, a neat trick that somehow sounds like a too-clever-by-half way to evade tax compliance that somebody among the Right’s many activist lawyers ought to challenge.

JOEL KOTKIN: Giving Thanks Matters:

Thanksgiving may be approaching, but its chief value, that of gratitude, seems oddly out of fashion. When the Pilgrims broke bread with their Native American neighbors, it was with full appreciation of the role of Providence in their salvation.

Such a sense of appreciation is increasingly rare. Most Americans, according to a Templeton Foundation survey, feel they receive little gratitude at home or the office. The feeling of gratitude appears to drop with age. Today’s millennials are the least grateful. This is not surprising given the new generations’ low levels of interest in the very things we are likely to feel grateful for, such as family, religion or America itself.

Older people, who often have overcome hard times, are more grateful. They witnessed the triumph of liberal democracy over communism. Many of them, like me, were raised by parents who came from poverty, and instilled the notion that, for all our problems, living here, at this time, in this country, is a manifest blessing not to demeaned or ignored. . . .

Thanksgiving has long been part of the American story, a critical part of its identity. To be sure the sanitized versions of the first Thanksgiving almost 300 years ago were often cartoonish and ignored the suffering meted out by New England’s settlers to both Native Americans and religious dissenters. Yet it remained an uplifting part of our national story, based on the notion that all Americans had common cause to celebrate their life in this amazing country.

This loss of faith is particularly marked among the young. Nearly 40 percent of young Americans, for example, think the country lacks “a history to be proud of,” less than half the average for boomers. One-third of young Americans, according to one recent survey, have a favorable view of communism and most seem ready to jettison the market system essential to America’s evolution.

This is not surprising for a generation that has been educated under a system increasingly dominated by social justice warriors to believe that America is a hopelessly flawed country. Here the proposed California ethnic studies program, for example, takes a basically hostile approach to American history, essentially turning it into a tale of racial and other repression. This approach is increasingly the case even in the Heartland and is widely promoted by the National Education Association, the powerful teacher union.

It’s almost as if our education system is in the hands of our nation’s enemies.
