Trump cut the size of national monuments in Utah, removing federal restrictions against development of two million acres of land.

See that video up top? Amy McGrath made a HUGE splash with that video-- at least as big as the splash Randy Bryce made with this one. The video got her almost a million and a half views on YouTube. And was entirely responsible for her raising $800,000-- the 2nd or 3rd biggest haul among Democratic congressional candidates last quarter. She wound up with an interview on Chelsea Handler's show and some more national exposure.
The FREE Act, a bill put forward by Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Brian Schatz that would further regulate the credit reporting industry in the wake of the Equifax security breach, would harm the industry, consumers, and businesses.

Dear Readers: It is December and time for my quarterly call for your support of your site. I do this site for you. I have no ego reasons for the website. In fact, it uses up my retirement years when I could otherwise relax.
This November marked 100 years since the October Revolution and the beginning of the Soviet Union’s disastrous 69-year experiment with communism. While the horrors of Nazism are well-known, the failures of central planning are fading from memory.

Parole violations contribute to extremely high rates of incarceration in the United States. More than half of people who are released from prison in a given year in the United States will return within five years, a phenomenon that has come to be known as prison’s “revolving door.” Reducing the prison population requires a deeper understanding of what drives the revolving door.

Approval was gained via covert industry influence and copy-pasting of manufacturers’ documents instead of independent evaluation, NGOs say
It’s no secret that a number of state and city public pensions are in crisis. Governments from Puerto Rico to Detroit have made public employees promises that simply cannot be kept. Some analysts have suggested that a switch from fossil fuel holdings to green energy technologies might be prudent for pension managers. However, if we allow pension managers to substitute personal biases for fact-based investing strategies then any number of unintended long-term outcomes may result.

By Philip Giraldi • Unz Review • December 5, 2017 Reading the mainstream media headlines relating to the flipping of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to provide evidence relating to the allegations about Russian interference in America’s last presidential election requires the suspension of one’s cognitive processes.

CIA appointed head Mike Pompeo is now ready to disregard basic press freedoms enshrined in the US Constitution.
As the press speculate this week over the imminent exit of Mike Pompeo from Langley to Foggy Bottom, Donald Trump’s outgoing CIA head appears to be determined to do as much damage as possible to the US Constitution.
This latest reckless power-grab by the CIA is not just about ‘getting Wikileaks’ – this is about requiring all media outlets to divulge their sources in the interests of “national security.”

Members of Congress brought renewed attention to a legislative effort to halt efforts by the Department of Justice to restart one of the most controversial civil forfeiture practices, so-called “adoptive” forfeitures.
Left and Right? It’s a battles of ideas and ideologies that’s still raging…
The following debate took place on on July 8th in a small theater in Manhattan, 2017 between ‘Alt-Right’ personality Augustus Sol Invictus and leftist journalist Caleb Maupin. This event was formally titled, “The Revolutionary Left vs. The Revolutionary Right.” The debate has been a big hit online, and was even promoted by Wikileaks’ founder Julian Assange via Twitter.
After 18 months of rampant speculation over Trump and “Russian collusion” and alleged “Russian hacking” in the 2016 election, in a cloud of non-stop, 24/7 fake news being generated by CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Washington Post, New York Times, LA Times, as well as notorious MSM fake news outsourcing agencies like The Daily Beast – the Never Trump Resistance has yet to present a single item of evidence to justify their year and a half-long political witch hunt.
Vin Armani, host of The Vin Armani Show, joins us to discuss his new book, Self Ownership: The Foundation of Property and Morality. In this wide-ranging, in-depth discussion we explore the philosophical basis and the political ramifications of self ownership, the nature and limits of property, the moral system that arises from a propertarian order and the cryptosavages that are threatening to storm the gates of the old order.
Among its many uses, kratom is most widely known for two: an affordable and effective alternative to pain medications, and treatment for opioid addiction. In fact, the plant has been used to halt the body’s opioid withdrawal response safely since 1836. Kratom has no psychoactive effects and no physical dependency – it’s just a harmless plant.
It was actually silly for Trump to tweet yesterday that Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones is somehow a Pelosi/Schumer puppet. And, an hour later, he repeated the focus group-tested phrase. Puppet? Pelosi puppet? Jones is running for Senate and Schumer's name isn't toxic enough (yet) among the Fox/Hate Talk Radio masses to stand on its own.
One of the wonders of contemporary propaganda is the extent to which corporate commentators are in denial about their use of the term 'genocide denial'. Clearly, they believe they are using a neutral, objective term to describe indisputable facts of genocidal killing and ugly refusals to recognise those facts.

Co-Written by Eric London and Norisa Diaz The United States Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a major political victory yesterday by ordering the administration’s immigration and travel ban to take effect immediately.

Australia’s “The White Paper on Foreign Policy” published on November 23 ) is important for a number of reasons. Mainly because we are talking about the first document of this kind for the last 14 years from a country, whose role is very significant in the processes occurring in the most important region for contemporary global politics, the Indian and Pacific Ocean region (IPR).
