Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s “Stop Arming Terrorists Act” to curb weapons going to Al Qaeda-linked jihadists in Syria, has attracted only 14 co-sponsors pointing to hypocrisy in the “war on terror,” as Gareth Porter explained at The American Conservative. By Gareth…Read more →
Another spoiled, bratty, unhinged liberal left hollywood actor lashing out at Trump with assassination rhetoric.
The more hollywood bashes Trump, the more popular Trump becomes.
At this rate, Trump will have the 2020 election all wrapped up…thanks to millionaire hollywood loonies, who are despised by most of middle America.
At least Johnny Depp did not hold up a severed Trump head in ISIS fashion.
"Buy a Brita filter." That was my response to somebody on Twitter reacting negatively to a post where I made a point about the economic and personal impact of 70 mining jobs. Admittedly, the response was more an attempt at ironic humor, but there’s a deeper point here that often gets left out in discussions on environmental trade-offs.
The ‘Russian hacker’, ‘Russian election meddling’, ‘Trump-Putin collusion’, Hillary Clinton concocted lie to explain away her pathetic election loss to Trump, is now fully exposed to be a complete and utter bullshit waste of time…And now that Georgia was lost to the Republicans, after Democrats poured millions into the Ossoff campaign, some sense seems to have been injected into a Democrat party that for the last year based it’s entire platform on hating Trump and propagating Hillary’s Russiagate fairytale.
The Trump administration’s emerging Arab-Israeli policy focuses on Saudi Arabia and Israel with little concern for the Palestinians, who continue to protest for their rights, including a recent prison hunger strike, reports Dennis J Bernstein. By Dennis J Bernstein On…Read more →
If it looks, walks, talks and acts like a NO Fly Zone.. It surely has to be one. I don't give a hoot about the lack of official recognition. The US isn't even supposed to be "officially" waging war on Syria. Against it's people and their elected leadership but it is!So, I don't need no stinkin' official proclamation! There is a no fly zone over annexed Syrian territory!The 5 eyes media is dancing around this for obvious reasons, but, where are the anti imperialists/anti war sites regarding this question?
No one should be shy about the need to love entrepreneurs, startups, big ideas, wanting to make a change, and striking out into the world to fill an identified hole. There's a lot of risk involved in that, and it can still work, but you have to do it right. In other words, you can't found what the New York Times dubbed a "bro co." and expect it to be sustainable.
Enter the infamous Fyre Festival and, now, Uber.
It’s a helluva question: “Tell me how this ends.”
It was a good question in 2003 when then Major General David Petraeus asked it as the United States invaded Iraq, an ironic one in 2011 when the US withdrew, worth revisiting in 2014 when the US reinvaded Iraq, and again in 2017 as Islamic State appears to be on its way out. Problem is we still don’t have a good answer. It could be Groundhog Day all over again in Iraq, or it could be worse.

The Dream Team-- for the GOP at leastI gradually stopped being a fan of Nancy Pelosi’s. I went from an admirer to a detractor primarily because of how she ran the DCCC-- an utter catastrophe for Democrats-- and because she imperiously declared an impeachment investigation of Bush was “off the table” after the Democrats won back the House.
Falstaff is the fat and funny sidekick to Prince Hal in Shakespeare’s Henry IV plays. He gets all the best lines. He is at all the best parties. And when he is on stage the whole play lights up with excitement and uproar....But Falstaff’s exuberant disruption of acceptable behavior comes at a great cost.

North Korea appears to have agreed with Donald Trump in blaming Barack Obama’s administration for the curious case of Otto Warmbier, the American convict who was sentenced to 15 years hard labour in North Korea for the attempted theft of a patriotic poster.
RT cites sources in the North Korean government as saying that under Obama, the United States never once asked for Warmbier’s release.
According to a North Korean spokesman,
Senator Rand Paul says the new healthcare bill creates a brand new federal entitlement program to give insurance companies money when they already make $15 billion per year. [...]

The national Democrats saw Russia-gate and the drive to impeach President Trump as their golden ticket back to power, but so far the ticket seems to be made of fool’s gold, writes Robert Parry.
Zafar Hussein The Madhya Pradesh police has very magnanimously withdrawn the sedition charges against 15 men for allegedly celebrating the victory of the Pakistan cricket team over Team India in the finals of the ICC Champions Trophy. The men have now instead been booked under Section 153A of the Indian Penal Code, for disturbing communal harmony. As profoundly unbelievable as[Read More...]

On the passing of German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin spoke fondly of the great statesman and his herculean efforts to reconcile Europe and Russia. Putin said he agreed with the late German leader’s view that the Cold War between West and East had been largely brought to an end.

It is a tragic measure of the depravity of human existence that genocide is a continuing and prevalent manifestation of violence in the international system, despite the effort following World War II to abolish it through negotiation, and then adoption and ratification of the 1948 Genocide Convention.
