McConnell: Self-Funding Multimillionaire Investing More Money In His Source Of Wealth-- His Sleazy Political Career

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 28 minutes ago

Last week we looked at PolitiFact verify that Mitch McConnell is the number one recipient of lobbyist money in the entire Congress. McConnell has used his Senate office to become immensely wealthy, primarily by being an unregistered agent of the Chinese Communist government and pushing their agenda. As the September 30 FEC reporting deadline, McConnell had already raised $26,896,568 and spent $21,494,327 to Alison Grimes' $16,250,304 raised and $11,862,353 spent. Meanwhile, McConnell's own criminal SuperPAC, Kentuckians for Strong Leadership, and SuperPACs allied with his campaign ... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 hour ago

“Have you ever seen a sun pillar? When the air is cold and the Sun is rising or setting, falling ice crystals can reflect sunlight and create an unusual column of light. Ice sometimes forms flat, six-sided shaped crystals as it falls from high-level clouds. Air resistance causes these crystals to lie nearly flat much of the time as they flutter to the ground. Sunlight reflects off crystals that are properly aligned, creating the sun-pillar effect. * Click image for larger size.* In the above picture taken last week, a sun-pillar reflects light from a Sun setting over Östersund, Swed... more »

*“The Three Truths”* "• The soul is immortal, and its future is the future of a thing whose growth and splendor has no limit. • The Principle which gives life dwells in us, and without us, is undying and beneficent, is not heard or seen, or smelt, but it is perceived by the one who desires perception. • Each of us is our own absolute lawgiver, the dispenser of glory or gloom to ourselves, the decreer of our life, our reward, our punishment. These truths which are as great as is life itself are as simple as the simplest mind of man. Feed the hungry with them." - “The Idyll... more »

Chet Raymo, “Thinking Fast And Thinking Slow”

*“Thinking Fast And Thinking Slow”* by Chet Raymo “Rabbi Jonathan Sacks writing in the New York Times on the evolutionary origins of religion: "To put it at its simplest, we hand on our genes as individuals but we survive as members of groups, and groups can exist only when individuals act not solely for their own advantage but for the sake of the group as a whole. Our unique advantage is that we form larger and more complex groups than any other life-form. A result is that we have two patterns of reaction in the brain, one focusing on potential danger to us as individuals, the oth... more »

“There’s only one rule that I know of, babies- God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.” - Kurt Vonnegut “Man shows inhumanity to Man. It’s axiomatic of our existence.

Indeed, it’s a story that’s reinforced every day, whether we’re watching the evening news or the latest entry in the “Saw” series.

Terrestrial nEnergy, Correcting a mistake.

Charles Barton at The Nuclear Green Revolution - 1 hour ago

Given my limitations, it is inevitable that I will commit mistakes. At any rate, I made a mistake in my account of terrestial energy. The mistake arrose from Hugh MacDiarmid's discussion of the prospects of Terrestrial Energy, a Canadian company that proposes to build a commercial Molten Salt Reactor. MacDiarmid claimed that the new MSR would be 6 times more fuel efficient as a conventional reactor. There are two ways to accomplish this using Molten Salt Reactor Technology. One is by Adopting Denatured Molten Salt Reactor Technology. In DMSRs both liquid Uranium salt and Liquid... more »

I hadn't planned on writing about the Media Matters outing of *New York Times* columnist Ross Douthat as a paid shill for an anti-LGBT hate group.

The Ebola Quarantines Begin

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 5 hours ago

In the wake of the latest Ebola case, this one in the mega-population center of New York City there are serious questions on how to prevent a national spread of the virus. Both New York and New Jersey are sufficiently spooked so as to begin to implement mandatory quarantines on some of those returning from areas where Ebola is rampant. The question now becomes just how much of an intrusion on civil liberties will come as the result of the escalated state of action. It seems rather quaint to be talking about civil liberties at all in the post Constitutional wasteland of the Obama ... more »

Who is Vladimir Putin? A monster? If that's what you think, then you believe unresearched smears from the "mainstream media," which accept the government's lies as the truth in order to keep their jobs. In the video below President Putin answers difficult questions from individuals, many of them distinguished, from many countries outside of Russia including the U.S., France, and Ukraine. This may be the only 3-hour video I've ever watched outside a movie theater. For those with less time, after a 5-min introduction Putin has the floor for 35 minutes (with simultaneous English translation).

State Legislative Races-- A Run-Down Of Important States To Watch

This asshole is playing for the other team Some state legislatures have considerable power and some have very little, but almost all of them draw the lines for congressional seats.

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 22 hours ago

According to the *Time*s, The Guardian has accused the BBC of overstepping its public service remit in an attempt to dominate global news. Andrew Miller, the chief executive of Guardian Media Group, said that the BBC’s plans to expand aggressively overseas is putting it in competition with British media groups that do not enjoy its public funding. “In our fast-changing industry, the time has come to address and remedy the implications of BBC dominance,” he said in a speech at the London School of Economics last night. Executives at other media companies said that Mr Miller’s comme... more »

Priorities

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 22 hours ago

Looking at the various news websites this morning (6.30am), it's interesting to see their contrasting news priorities. Sky News and ITV both lead with the latest school shootings in the U.S., a story BBC News doesn't feature in its top 10. The BBC leads with the resignation of Labour's Scottish leader. Politically, the most striking difference is that both Sky and ITV make Tony Blairs alleged negative remarks about Ed Miliband [the lead in the *Daily Telegraph*] one of their top 3 stories, while the BBC website ignores the story - which will doubtless provoke a few knowing 'aha!'s ... more »

Many interacting worlds approach is an original, equally flawed cousin of Bohmian mechanics

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 23 hours ago

All the major "realist" attempts to reform the foundations of quantum mechanics – de Broglie-Bohmian mechanics, Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber-like collapse theories, and Everett-style many worlds – are known to suffer from serious diseases. To a large extent, "realism" itself is the problem. *Off-topic, physics:* In Physics World, Sylvester Jim Gates Jr explains why he is Sticking With SUSY. Doing something else would be as unwise as to conclude that giant sequoia trees don't exist after looking at the U.S. East Coast only.

Is The CIA Stealing The Colorado Senate Race?

No one can understand how such a weak sad sack candidate like Cory Gardner can be beating one of the Senate's true civil liberties champions. Colorado voters (and non-voters) are probably not seeing that Mark Udall is one of the only bastions left in the entire Congress standing in the way of a profound CIA takeover of the entire government. I know, I know... it sounds paranoid. That's how the CIA want it to sound. But if you don't think the CIA is willing and capable to move against Udall in Colorado, you don't know anything about the history of the CIA. This is one of the most v... more »
