Unlike many successful brand name products, Halo Top comes from humble origins. In fact, its creators had to overcome some major obstacles and wait six years before they achieved market success. And what is perhaps most intriguing about Halo Top is its refusal to do things in the traditional way. But it is this innovative mindset and the ability to learn from mistakes that has helped Halo Top reach the top.
Sputnik – February 1, 2018 WASHINGTON – The Trump administration should take steps to deter alleged Russian interference in the upcoming presidential election in Mexico and other parts of the Western Hemisphere, US Senators Tim Kaine, Marco Rubio and Robert Menendez said in a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and USAID Administrator Mark […]
(MPN) — It’s not clear if the United States knows what it is doing in Syria anymore. Having successfully toppled the Libyan government in 2011, former President Barack Obama subsequently spent a good three years attempting to bring about the fall of the Syrian government, under the guise of humanitarianism, that embroiled the region in chaos and civil strife.

RT | February 1, 2018 The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has cleared 28 Russian athletes and dropped their life-bans over alleged doping. Their results have been reinstated and the athletes are eligible to compete in the 2018 Winter Games. “Both CAS panels unanimously found that the evidence put forward by the IOC in […]
Inaction can benefit a nation more than action, as demonstrated by his numerous vetoed bills.
Reuters is reporting that the much anticipated FISA memo alleging anti-Trump bias at the FBI and U.S. Justice department is likely to be released on Thursday, an official of President Donald Trumps administration said on Wednesday.
The long-awaited “Kremlin list,” which was published by the US Department of Treasury and which included 210 names of the top Russian officials and businessmen, did not produce the expected bomb shell effect on the Russian elite. However, just like any hint at a possibility of denouncing your enemies to a powerful “regulator,” it unleashed an avalanche of Stalinist times-like denunciations from the so called liberal opposition in Russia.

There is nothing the American public treasures more than appearance.
When Trump made his way to deliver a mediocre State of the Union address in front of some of the most ineffective employees our country possesses, he knew all he had to do was appear Presidential.
And the results are in: According to a CBS survey immediately after his speech, 75 per cent of those who watched approved of the one-hour self-congratulatory session.
Any person with even a sliver of knowledge regarding American history would have bet in favor of this outcome.
Nancy Pelosi’s reaction to Trumps first State of the Union speech was more proof than ever that Pelosi has completely gone insane, infected with an aggressive strain of both TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) and the ‘Russia Hysteria’ virus.
The House Minority Leader held a press conference to react to Trump’s SOTU speech calling it a “performance” that was “completely devoid” of serious policy ideas.
Trump’s “performance last night was just that,” Pelosi tweeted, “a performance completely devoid of the serious policy ideas that lead to real bipartisan efforts.”

The state of bilateral relations between the US and Pakistan which used to be one of the most faithful allies of Washington, remains in a rather sorry state after US President Donald Trump’s insulting New Year’s tweet which left Islamabad thoroughly outraged. Specifically, Trump chose to make his first post in 2018 about Pakistan, noting that:
It’s not the “Kremlin List” that really matters. On Jan.29, one day before the document was made public, Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee voted to release a classified memorandum, revealing the misconduct by the FBI and the Justice Department in the Russia investigation.

We should not fall prey to people who criticize our efforts to combat illegal immigration and who pompously say, "We're a nation of immigrants!" The debate is not over immigration. The debate is over illegal immigration. My sentiments on immigrants who are here legally and who want to become Americans are expressed by the sentiments in Emma Lazarus' poem "The New Colossus," which is on a plaque inside the Statue of Liberty and in part says, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."
The consequences of the contradictory choices of the United States in Syria are beginning to become apparent. The obsessive efforts to advance geopolitical goals with war, chaos, betrayals and shaky alliances has brought us to the recent events in Northern Syria on the border with Turkey in the Kurdish enclave of Afrin.

(ANTIWAR.COM) — US officials have confirmed that a test of the advanced SM-3 Block IIA missile defense system in Hawaii on Wednesday has failed, proving unable to intercept test intermediate-range missiles out of the air. Failures are not uncommon given the difficulty of intercepting missiles in mid-air. This failure, however, comes with the Pentagon unusually tight-lipped, admitting only that the […]
Democrats are stunned by Donald Trump’s lack of culpability for racist rhetoric, Twitter tantrums, and international insults. They shouldn’t be. They’re the party of “It’s the Economy Stupid.” They should know that if a president inspires a bull market, creates a few jobs, and grows the GDP, he can “stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody” without[Read More...]

C’est donc le 1er février 2017 que le journal Le Monde a lancé son “Décodex”, énorme opération de dénigrement de ses concurrents.
Cette opération a entraîné une énorme vague de diffamations à notre encontre, que nous avons dû gérer durant l’année 2017.
Nous profitons donc du premier anniversaire du Décodex pour vous dévoiler la plainte (enfin, plus précisément, l’assignation – de 65 pages… Formidable travail de Maître Jérémie Assous et de son équipe) que nous allons déposer dans les prochains jours auprès du Tribunal de Grande Instance.
Hans-- a congenital liarOne of the problems with the DCCC pretending not to be a bunch of scummy politicians and recruiting "clean" non-politicians is that politicians who have been coming up in the ranks are usually well-vetted by the voters. The garbage candidates the DCCC digs up from under rocks invariably have a little something horrible they've been hiding-- perfect for GOP opposition research firms to find.

Tänk dig en bekymrad vänsterjournalist som lägger pannan i djupa veck och med fundersam min mumlar för sig själv: ”Mellan Kurt Wallander och Jimmie Åkesson finns ett märkligt band”.

‘Banal Nationalism’ (Michael Billing’s phrase) means plain daily nationalism. It ‘covers the ideological habits which enable the established nations of the west to be reproduced’.

Since social memory and myth are used as tools of social dominance, they have a very significant role in politics of assertion.

These social reminiscences have been manipulated[Read More...]
