Ostensibly they're both Democrats-- similarly to the way Chicagoland Blue Dog Dan Lipinski and progressive reformer Marie Newman are both Democrats. By in this Omaha case there's an even starker contrast. As far as we know, Lipinski wasn't ever an actual Republican. Brad Ashford, on the other hand was a Republican . He served in the Legislature from 1987 to 1995 and again from 2007 to 2015. He was a registered Republican and opportunistically, he switched his registration to the Democratic Party when he was termed out of his seat in the legislature and decided to run for Congress.

A significant portion of the American space program depends on Russia.  Most of us know that with the absence of an American launch vehicle, American astronauts to the ISS currently hitch rides with their Russian counterparts.  What may not be as widely known is that Russia is actually an exporter of rocket engines for a widely-used American launch vehicle.

Axios News reports that the Trump administration is considering the prospect of nationalizing the forthcoming 5G network when it begins to be built in the United States.  Naturally, this idea is controversial, as private enterprise has been in charge of much of commercially used spread spectrum technology in the the USA for decades.
The proposal would limit itself to 5G networks only, and not to previous technologies or different ones.

By Alastair Crooke | Consortium News | January 29, 2018 Last week, Israeli political leaders were rolling with guffaws and ribbing each other in delight as Vice-President Mike Pence proved that, as a Christian Zionist, he was more Zionist than the Zionists in the Knesset (minus, of course, its evicted Arab members – see here). But one […]

Tim invited me back on Our Interesting Times to discuss eastern and western theology, philosophy and sociology and how these paradigms differ. Yes, it’s 1453, i misspoke from being a bit haggard and spent in this installment, but the information is quality. We cover globalist books, democracy and anarchy, relativism, nihilism, freemasonry and Zionism, esoterism and the Frankish thesis, etc.

There's a reason education sucks, and it's the same reason it will never ever ever be fixed. It's never going to get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what you've got... because the owners of this country don’t want that. I'm talking about the real owners now... the real owners. The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.

CNN is encouraging couples to engage in deviant sex through 'cuckolding', which is a relationship in which one person enjoys watching his spouse engage in sex with someone else. [All collectivist regimes seek to destroy the family because it is an alternative to dependence on the state. If cuckholding can be popularized and made to seem 'normal' by a major TV network, what chance does the family have?] [...]

The White House requested a Vincent Van Gogh from the Guggenheim Museum for the president and first lady. Instead, curator Nancy Spector offered an 18-karat gold toilet that has been touted as anti-Trump art. This was correctly interpreted as great disrespect for President Trump and the people who voted for him. The golden toilet, satirically called “America,” was displayed in a public restroom at the Guggenheim for a year. [...]

The California legislature is considering passing a law that would punish waiters (or their employers) with a $1,000 fine and up to a six-month prison sentence if they give a customer a plastic straw without a request for one.

Centralization of government power is generally a very bad idea. Schemes for “global governance” are the worst since they usually result in cartels for the benefit of uncompetitive nations. National policies are the second-worst, often producing one-size-fits-all approaches accompanied by suffocating bureaucracy. But this does not mean that state governments and local governments do a good job.

Tijuana, Mexico, was the site of a record-breaking 1,734 murders in 2017, and this year is following the same upward trend, with 132 killings in just the first 23 days of January. [...]

De nombreux attentats particulièrement meurtriers ont frappés la France dés le début des années 2012 (tueries de Toulouse et Montauban ) et ce jusque récemment avec les attentats du Bataclan de novembre 2015. Auparavant, en Europe, c’étaient les attentats de Madrid en 2004 puis ceux de Londres en 2005 qui avaient alors frappés l’opinion publique occidentale.

A new book, Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel's Targeted Killings, documents 2,700 state-sponsored murders by the Israeli Mossad, Shin Bet, and the Israeli military. A plot to mass murder an entire stadium full of people in Beirut was hatched in order to kill leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The attack was called off at the last minute, and an officer recalled telling then-Prime Minister Menachem Begin that, if he followed through with the plan, the whole world would turn against them.

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte was on Fox News this weekend with ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the latest batch of Strzok-Page text messages.
