LIONEL PODCAST: How Jon Stewart Wannabes Destroyed Political Critical Thinking
Can you spot the difference? One of these is part of a trained circus act doubling as entertainment that some observers have even considered to be inhumane and exploitative in fact. The other is a seal. But be not mistaken, Jon Stewart is the king of timing. Had he attempted the Stewart bit now, it wouldn’t have taken off. And success is in great part due to his 300+ writers who gave us such gems as, “The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom.” Wow. Move over Mort Sahl. Leibowitz is in the room.

BREAKING - US Troops Fighting on the Ground in Libya
TweetUS has put troops on the ground in Libya. The authority to put troops on the ground in Libya is non existent. The excuse being spewed out by the Pentagon and the lame stream media is that the UN "Unity" Government has invited them into Libya. First let me explain that Libya would NEVER EVER invite the US to bring troops into Libya and would NEVER ask the US to bomb in Libya. The Libyan people have had their country occupied by illegal mercenaries, terrorists, proxy armies and other criminals left behind by NATO (after they destroyed Libya).

Here’s How Much Michael Phelps Might Have to Pay the IRS for Winning Olympic Medals
(ANTIMEDIA) ‘You didn’t win that‘ might as well be the U.S. government’s official congratulatory platitude to American Olympians who succeed in Rio this summer.

See You in September! Ron Paul Institute ‘Peace and Prosperity 2016’ Conference Program
The elephant in the living room? Foreign policy. No one wants to really talk about it. Washington is hoping the rest of us won’t blurt out that the emperor has no clothes, that US interventionism is making us poorer, less free, and less safe.
Even when candidates like Donald Trump talk about it, they don’t talk about it. No nation-building, he said recently. But if we happen to see a country with some oil we should take it. "To the victor go the spoils!" is not a great slogan if you are running on the idea of restraint. -

Ron Paul on the Trump Foreign Policy Speech – Cheers Or Jeers?
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump delivered a major foreign policy speech in Ohio yesterday which was once again a very mixed bag. On the one hand he promised an end to regime-change and nation-building, which if he had just stopped there and stuck to it would have been a positive development. Unfortunately his positions are less driven by principles and policy than by desire to please both the pro-war and antiwar factions.

Trump's Loss Will Be Shatteringly Personal-- And Devastating To The GOP Up And Down The Ballot
Still harping on the made-up "fact" that Obama founded ISIS-- which he supposedly walked back last week-- Trump was at an ill-conceived rally in Fairfield, Connecticut Saturday evening, warning voters he'd "never, ever forgive" them if he loses. "I will never, ever forgive the people of Connecticut. I will never forgive the people of Florida. Pennsylvania and Ohio..."When Trump loses in a jaw-dropping landslide in November-- virtually wiped out, outside the hatred-and-resentment-fueled Deep South-- it will be a very personal defeat.

Judges across US Using Racially Biased Software in Assessing Defendants’ Risk of Committing Future Crimes
In 2014, then US Attorney General Eric Holder warned that so-called risk scores might be injecting bias into the nation’s judicial system.

Trouble Follows When the US Labels You a ‘Thug’
There is a nasty pattern in American political speech, going back into the 1980s at least: when a senior U.S. official labels you a thug, often times wars follow. Thug is the safest word of American Exceptionalism.
So it is with some concern that lots of folks are pushing each other away from the mic to call Putin a thug (fun fact: Putin has been in effective charge of Russia for 15 years. As recently as the Hillary Clinton Secretary of State era, the US sought a “reset” of relations with him.) -
