If you input "Big Lie" into Google, the first thing that pops up is Post Malone's song.
Let's start with some news: Last week, Fox News' James Rupert Murdoch, a British billionaire, put half a million dollars into one of Nancy Jacobson's shady No Labels SuperPACs that aims to fill Congress with candidates from the Republican Wing of the Democratic Party. Their current goal is a smear campaign against Alan Grayson.

They say you should write about what you know about, so here are a few of the most important things I’ve learned through working in, sometimes failing in, and ultimately getting hired through my sojourns as a lowly intern.
By M K Bhadrakumar | Indian Punchline | August 4, 2018 An amicable formula seems to be emerging between the Trump administration on the one hand and China and India on the other hand as regards the impending US sanctions on Iran’s oil exports. Below-the-radar consultations are going on between Washington and Beijing and New […]

An Oscar-winning documentary The White Helmets screened on 2017, painted an astounding picture of a group of volunteer rescuers saving innocent civilians from the bloody war in Syria.
Professional golf is quite simply a shadow of its present self without Tiger Woods. His greatness as a golfer is a brilliant reminder of a crucial truth that the overly sensitive and emotional in our midst would rather not acknowledge: the unequal elevate us. Endlessly. Woods is the living embodiment of what is rather inconvenient to the class warriors in our midst.
Thailand was the scene of a smaller-scale foreign-backed destabilisation similar to those carried out by the United States and Europe against nations like Libya, Syria, Yemen and Ukraine from 2011 onward.
Between April and May of that year, nearly 100 would die and many more injured when US-backed former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra attempted to seize back power through violent street protests, armed insurrection, terrorism and nationwide arson.

New Eastern Outlook
No one wants to see sea creatures suffer, but we passed the point long ago at which the debate over plastic straws had anything to do with aquatic wildlife, and are now living amidst a spectacle of virtue-signaling celebrities repeating debunked talking points originally popularized by a 9-year old’s science project. Every one of us is free to eschew a straw if we don’t want to use one, and we should be equally free to help ourselves to one if we do.
Yesterday, Priorities USA released a new poll by Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group that bodes very badly for Trump and the Party of Trump.

A war with Iran would define, consume and potentially destroy the Trump presidency, but exhilarate the neocon never-Trumpers who most despise the man.
Russia is a Pacific nation. It’s only natural for it to move eastwards, diversifying the relations. The upcoming visit of President Putin to Singapore in November demonstrates Moscow’s desire to move to the East.
France and Germany agreed to study the joint development of a next-generation fighter jet, for introduction by the late 2030s. Europe cannot afford any more internal fissures that would keep its eyes off the prize of a sixth-generation combat aircraft.
Russia has more objective incentives to get along with China than with the US. The main thing Russia needs from the US is basically – well, nothing.

The political class, diplomatic establishment and public in the UK now know full well that there is no such 'special relationship' and that America, especially while under the control of Trump, is not Britain's number one ally.

by NoahI know there's that thing in politics about leaving the family members of a politician out of it, but, really? This family? The Trumps? No way. They are all, even the ex-wives, part and parcel of the same ugly, repulsive virus. When I see a picture of a Trump, I see a picture of a deadly, festering virus as depicted in National Geographic or some medical journal.

(ZHE) — Well, this is going to make the weekend’s political conversations a little more awkward around America. As the mainstream media (and even the leftist politicians) begin to back quietly away from the “collusion” narrative, they remain increasingly focused on Russia’s “evil” efforts at “meddling” in the US election and “interfering with our democracy,” or some […]
What a waste of time this morning! I called a couple of dozen campaign managers all over the country, almost entirely campaign managers for candidates who had already won their primaries. And I had an identical simple question for each one: "Have you talked to your DCCC Regional Vice Chair?" Except for the ones in California, I got the same answer from every campaign manager. "Who's that?" or "What's that?" No one knew.

Sputnik – 03.08.2018 The US Navy has yet to choose a way forward for dismantling the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier. The delay has been motivated in part by the fact that disposing of the nuclear-powered craft could cost more than $1 billion ‒ a pill the Navy is loathe to swallow. The Government Accountability Office […]
It's hard to tell if Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass is a Democrat or a Republican. It's easy to tell he's a status quo hack. And long-time servant of the establishment. Wednesday he wasted a column worrying about how no one understands the Trump supporters. Did you watch them screaming at CNN's Jim Acosta in Tampa a couple of days ago?
The Only Existential Threat To Russia Is Neoliberal Economics
Paul Craig Roberts
This week I was interviewed on Russian TV about the possible new anti-Russian sanctions that Washington is considering that would prohibit anyone in the entirety of the world from holding Russian government bonds. Think about this for a moment. Washington thinks that Washington has the right and the power to block sovereign countries and their citizens from investing in Russian government bonds. Here we face arrogance that has developed into insanity.
IMEMC News & Agencies | August 3, 2018 The Campaign for the Right to Enter the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Thursday, expressed deep concern at the rise in Israeli denial, of work or stay visa applications, for foreign nationals seeking to enter the occupied territories, saying this measure is hurting Palestinian education. The group said, in […]

I don't have any firsthand knowledge of Ayanna Pressley. Everything I've heard about her has been excellent. But I do know Mike Capuano-- and he's nothing like Joe Crowley. I'm certain there was no one in the country working harder and more consistently than I was to displace Crowly over the last decade-- although it took a grassroots wonderwoman and her team to eventually do it.
And the list of monstrous crimes against human decency just got even longer By Stuart Littlewood | Dissident Voice | August 3, 2018 How revealing! How ironic!

The Saker • Unz Review • August 3, 2018 In the past few days, the Internet has been flooded with a frankly silly rumor about the US soliciting Australia’s assistance in preparing an attack on Iran. Needless to say, that report does not explain what capabilities Australia would possess which the US would lack, but […]

I ett nytt avsnitt av podden Tankar från framtiden (inspelat 17/7) pratar jag med författaren, journalisten och entreprenören Boris Benulic. Han föddes 1955 och tillhörde vänstern under hela sitt liv, men kallar sig sedan några år tillbaka libertarian. Man kan höra honom på den libertarianska podden Radio Bubbla.
