The DSCC is so sure their candidate in Ohio, Ted Strickland, is going to win the primary to challenge Republican incumbent Rob Portman that they don't even bother attacking Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld-- a departure from the way Tester and Schumer are viciously sabotaging other independent-minded candidates, in Florida (Alan Grayson) and Pennsylvania (Joe Sestak), who will likely beat weak DSCC picks, respectively Patrick Murphy and Ed Pawlowski.

It’s no mystery that packaged and prepared foods in our grocery stores are full of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Though while more food makers are omitting this ingredient due to health dangers (and consumer demand), some companies are still including this health-damaging ingredient. Now, new troubling scientific studies reveal how high fructose corn syrup-containing foods are causing yet another unwanted side effect – heart failure.
The incompetence of biotech is reaching new heights as their genetically modified universe is crumbles faster than companies can come up with another freakish altered food or insect. Now, after spending millions, they are finding that a type of GM wheat developed in the UK to produce an odor that repels aphids is failing. This time, the results are creating quite a stink.

Hopefully, we will once again be a free society and the Fourth of July will be more than one day of a three day holiday marked by fireworks.
The Patriot Act and the NDAA were passed to tell us we were no longer a free country. The Bush administration drew up a list of 8 million Americans the Israelis and the Bankers wanted incarcerated when the dollar collapses. It is not a workable plan but then that crowd in Washington DC is not very bright. See this:

Hillary was a hipster in the 60'sI'm not a Hillary hater. I'm very enthusiastic about Bernie Sanders, not because of who she is but because of who he is. And although at this point I can't imagine voting for her if she wins the primary, I know myself well enough to admit I'll be rooting for her over Bush or Trump or Walker or Cruz or whichever garbage wins the clown car derby.

TweetSince the summer of 2011, when we were in Tripoli, Libya we have been saying that the US was supplying weapons (ILLEGALLY) to the Al Qaeda Libyan rebels and all the Al Qaeda mercenaries brought into Libya by the US, France, NATO, UK and other western imperialist nations. We knew that Qatar was puppet for the west bringing in weapons, mercenaries and their own soldiers. We know that it was snipers from Qatar that shot the people in the streets in Benghazi that started the media frenzy to blow up Libya.

Captain Fifteen | June 17, 2015 It’s always interesting for me to observe the reaction of Americans and Western Europeans when they learn where I’m from. Many just don’t say anything. Many regurgitate something incoherent about Putin’s “imperial” ambitions, “the Boeing” that was shot down over Eastern Ukraine last year, and “that politician guy that […]

Further to my series of posts on Deflategate, reader chrimony observed that my statistical analysis had shown that it was possible that there had been no tampering, but had not excluded the possibility of tampering. This is a sensible observation, but raises the question of whether and how one could use the available statistical information to exclude tampering. This is analysis that ought to have been done in the Wells Report. I’ve done the analysis in this post and the results are sharper than I’d anticipated.

When Congress legalizes medical marijuana-- and that's coming-- dozens and dozens of ineffective, highly toxic prescription drugs, many with ghastly side effects, will cease providing bounties to the industrial drug makers that manufacture and market them. These pharmaceutical conglomerates have appealed-- so far successfully-- to Congress to at least wait for them to make some minor, inconsequential change to marijuana before they legalize it.
As the US and Europe push forward with continued sanctions against Russia, an intriguing economic battle is taking shape, one which will have significant repercussions for years to come. While Washington and Brussels seek to divide Russia from Europe in order to maintain Western hegemony – blocking Eurasian integration by definition – Moscow is counteracting this strategy by leveraging its economic power in the form of energy exports and cooperation.

På forumet Sweddit (svenska delen av Reddit) blev det lite diskussioner angående moderatorernas beslut att inte tillåta politiktrådar över sommaren. Många använde sig av ordet censur, och för mig blir det lite konstigt att en privat driven plats på nätet skulle kunna bli anklagade för det.
