We've been following state legislative races because we're interested in the clear pattern that shows a stunning swing towards Democratic candidates-- often a result a Democratic enthusiasm and the lack of enthusiasm among Republicans. And, more often than not, the enthusiasm levels are about Trump and the Republican Congress.

There is a potential for a new proxy war in Syria if Turkey aligns with Russia in its fight against the US-Backed Kurds. After ISIS was defeated in Syria, the Kurds, acting on behalf of the CIA, moved in to takeover the oil fields. Turkey, however, is fighting the Kurds in Syria because they could unite with the Kurds in Turkey to create a new state that might diminish the influence of Turkey in the region.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo included a provision in the state's budget to fund free college educations for children of illegal aliens who were part of the DACA amnesty program. The scholarships will be good at any New York State public college so long as their family income is not over $125,000. Governor Cuomo also announced that DACA recipients would receive state Medicaid coverage. [...]

Sputnik – 26.01.2018 US Democrats have asked Facebook and Twitter for evidence of Russia’s involvement in an online campaign to release a politically charged memo.

California's new law will, not only allow people to vote when they obtain a drivers license, but will cause them to be automatically registered, even if they are not citizens. Ann Coulter says 60% of votes in California are done through the mail, so illegal aliens will not even need to vote. They just need to get a driver's license so Democrat Party staff members can mark and mail the ballots. [...]

By Pat Buchanan • Unz Review • January 26, 2018 Asked if he would agree to be interviewed by Robert Mueller’s team, President Donald Trump told the White House press corps, “I would love to do it … as soon as possible. … under oath, absolutely.” On hearing this, the special counsel’s office must have […]

Years of sanctions on Iran’s ability to export oil were economically devastating and caused significant inflation and worsened living standards. In light of the nuclear deal and sanctions being lifted, Iran’s oil industry took off, pulling their economy out of recession. However, other non-oil sectors that don’t receive the same crony favors continue to struggle.

Rather than indulging drum-beating hawks like Carter, politicians, journalists and anyone else really concerned with understanding and challenging British militarism might find in such places much more useful information and critical direction.

RT | January 26, 2018 A university study that ‘proved’ Russia’s influence over the 2016 EU referendum has been thrown out by Twitter.

Bitcoin’s price explosion made news headlines this last year. Topics of digital assets entered onto dinner tables and friendly chats at work places.

Coinciding with the release of his new book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sat down with me earlier this week in New York City to provide powerful new insights on the historical transition from the sacrifice of others to self-sacrifice. We explored how to dismantle mob violence and defeat witch hunts; his response to his recent controversial interview with Channel 4's Cathy Newman, and how the imitation of Christ can save our civilization. Along the way, Dr.

We are told by practically everyone that nationalism is an archaic, aggressive, and downright evil sentiment, one that causes wars, racism, bigotry, and probably the common cold as well. And we get this from both the right and the left. Nationalism of any kind, we are told, is a dangerous atavism, a throwback to primitive … Continue reading "Korea, the Winter Olympics, and the Spirit of Queen Min"

I am a mental health professional, a clinical psychologist, which is not quite as bad as being a psychiatrist but still nothing to brag about. Hypocrisy in U.S. mental health professional policy abounds damn near as much as in U.S. foreign policy.

What kind of mentally deranged parents think a philandering, lying bigoted pig like Trump would make a good role model for their children? Republicans. In a new Quinnipiac poll released yesterday, we saw that the vast majority of Americans agree that Trump is not a good role model for children. Republicans disagree.

History's most momentous climate decision was based on research so preliminary it wasn't published in a scientific journal until seven months later.

Gold had its own intrinsic value and was valid in every empire around the world; the same with silver and bronze. Gold had become not only a means of exchange and a measure of value but also a reservoir of value to be bequeathed to heirs. Above all it was a means of payment.

But that ship has sailed, remaining TPP members may tell Trump in Davos
The TPP has not been popular among many Republicans and some sectors of the US workforce, giving Trump the ammunition to proceed with withdrawal. People attend a rally protesting the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in Maui, Hawaii, the United States, July 29, 2015 [Xinhua]
US President Donald Trump has told US news network CNBC that he could rethink his withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership if the member nations could offer the US a better deal.

January 26, 2018 (Martin Berger - NEO) - One would be mistaken to believe the recent aggravation of the Syrian crisis triggered by the launch of Turkey’s Operation Olive Branch along Syria’s northern border, which has already resulted in military casualties suffered by both the Turkish and Kurdish sides, came as a surprise for those following the conflict carefully.

China reclaimed a number of islands in the South and East China seas from Japanese domination during World War II [Xinhua]
China has dismissed a Japanese government exhibit which showcases Tokyo’s claims to the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying on Friday told reporters at a regular press briefing that the islands are Chinese regardless of Japan’s protests.

More than 10 years ago Israel tightened its grip on Gaza, enforcing a blockade on goods coming in and out of the tiny coastal enclave that left much of the two million-strong population there unemployed, impoverished and hopeless.

Pentagon planners clearly anticipate another year of playing at defense by keeping the offense on the field. An impetuous and poorly informed president is a danger to all of us, particularly as he is surrounded by general-advisers who see a military solution to every problem.

The American interloping in Syria increasingly looks like a brazen illegal occupation whose ulterior agenda is to further destabilize the Syrian state. Washington needs to be censured and sanctioned. Its policies are illegal, criminal and prosecutable under international law. It needs to get its military forces out of Syria – now.

A statement by Twitter’s head of public policy to the UK Parliament appears to finally admit that the narrative focused on Russian interference on Twitter to influence the Brexit vote was completely without merit.

With President Trump being the main draw at Davos, billionaire investor George Soros addressed world elites at Davos, launching a scathing attack on technology giants, calling them monopolies that could be manipulated by authoritarians to subvert democracy. Soros then turned his attention on Trump blasting the POTUS for failing to progress Soros’ neo-liberal globalist agenda.
Soros said that the survival of our whole civilization is at stake, due to the rise of Kim Jong Un in North Korea and Donald Trump in the United States.

President Donald Trump flew to Davos for the World Economic Forum, and completely electrified it, according to reports.

For billions of people, the Groucho Marx rule applies when talking about Davos. This is the exclusive club, which meets in the luxury Swiss resort each year to discuss the global business environment.

Most of us have been brought up to believe that we’d be damn fools to think any differently from the way everybody else thinks. We are brought up to conform and not call attention to ourselves or our views. Independent thinking is considered neither good for our own welfare, nor for anybody else. We are consciously taught that our course[Read More...]

The CIA and its Cold War allies, in forming the original Safari Club, has provided an invaluable template to the besieged peoples of Yemen, the Horn of Africa, and the wider Middle East. The Safari Club II is giving the Saudis, Israelis, Americans, Egyptians, Moroccans, and others a taste of their own bitter medicine.

-by NoahWho says we can't predict the future? 50 years ago, British comedy troupe Monty Python's Flying Circus showed us more than a mere prescient glimpse of the daily goings on with the Trump administration and any given hour at today's White House full of mental defectives. The Oval Office? Cabinet meetings? We don't need a taping system like Nixon's. We have the above clip. Monty Python nailed it.Do you really think that people like Trump and Sarah Huckabee Sanders just appeared out of thin air? Nope.
