The district has a PVI of D+11 and Obama won there with over 60% both times he ran.

US Presidential Election –— How Reliable are the Polls?

Justice Dept Announces it Will End Use of For-Profit Prisons
The first obvious reality is that incarceration as largely implemented is a failed protocol that certainly fails to produce a high yield of better human beings. That ultimately was its purpose. The punishment component is dealt with in the simple loss of freedom. It is not a meaningful component of prison life however much that may be desired by victims. Then trying to privatize a disfunctional system is actually bizarre and merely ensures that the prison terms need to be maximized while services provided are also minimizsed. There are better ways to do this and we do have ex... more »

Born just yesterday in 1870, she “developed an approach to education based on a deep respect for the child’s reasoning mind,” making the lives of countless children immeasurably better.

Meet Billionaire Hedge Fund Crook John Paulson, Trumpist And Guillotine Candidate Du Jour
John Paulson, who has managed to accrue 10 billion lightly taxed dollars for himself, made his fortune in 2007, using credit default swaps to bet against the subprime mortgage market, profiting as people were kicked out of their homes.

Instead he moved to Puerto Rico, where he pays no local or federal capital-gains tax, and no local taxes on dividend or interest income for 20 years. Paulson's contributes primarily to Republicans, although he gives a little to corrupt conservative Democrats as wel... more »

“Vulnerable Children”: What’s in a name?
The word “vulnerable” comes from the Latin *vulnerabilis *meaning ‘to wound.’ It means, or *meant* until coopted by the State, something that was in danger of damage, exposed to attack, in peril against some specific harm. These days however the thing that’s most “in peril” is a child in danger of an interference of social workers descending upon them. So pity the poor child (and his parents) who attract the attention of the now-renamed Ministry for Vulnerable Children. The very name just sounds Kafkaesque, doesn’t it. A whole Ministry of State to deal with (deal to?) children ... more »
Who are the Austrian economists, and why do they matter?
[image: Ebeling]My very first introduction to Austrian economics was a “ reader” edited by Richard Ebeling, which I still own -- and it’s still the best introduction I could recommend. Mind you, I haven’t yet read his newest ebook, out this week: *Austrian Economics & Public Policy: Restoring Freedom and Prosperity.* (Buy it on Amazon for just US$4.99.) *This book [he says] is on understanding Austrian Economics and essential economic policy issues. It might be asked, what is Austrian Economics and what makes it important to better understand the economic policy issues we face... more »
Trump Clubs the Hildebeast in Public
Where can I start with Trump. I wrote many a scathing blog about him somewhere but in summary he is a combo of Brother Loves travelling ministry mixed with PT Barnum and Andrew Carnegie. Love him or hate him he is a force of nature. He is Suri Genurs in the flesh welcoming the decision if its flesh of the devil or flesh of an Angel? Not to run my narrative into the ditch but when it comes to Hillary there is no decision. As it turns out the devil wears Prada pant suits. To nite he was brother love protzilizing immigration as the greatest sin to ever walk unencumbered on the remark... more »
The so-called global warming “scientific consensus” is a complete fabrication and does not exist
Canadian Free Press' Fred Dardick reports: The so-called global warming “scientific consensus” is a complete fabrication and does not exist Nature Magazine, the academic journal that introduced the world to X-rays, DNA double helix, wave nature of particles, pulsars, and more recently the human genome, is set to publish a paper in June that shows atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is responsible for only 5-10% of observed warming on Earth. As explained by the paper’s author Professor Jyrki Kauppinen, “*The climate is warming, yes, but not because of greenhouse gases.*" For the p... more »
Is This Ukraine War Photo A Fake?
*(Click on Image to Enlarge)* Photographer Dmytro Muravskiy has stood by this photo -- and is threatening to sue his detractors *Amos Chapple, Radio Free Europe:* *War Of Words Over Ukraine 'Combat' Photo* *It could be one of the greatest war photographs ever taken – or a fake.* A controversy is escalating in Ukraine over a photo that seems to capture the conflict with Russia-backed separatists in a single frame. It shows two soldiers carrying a wounded comrade down a dirt road as an explosion rips up the ground behind them, sending smoke into the sky. An empty baby carriage stand... more »
Why We’ll Keep Going Back to BIW
By Bruce K. Gagnon I recently returned from a nearly month-long trip to South Korea where I, and two others from Veterans For Peace, visited several farming villages that have been devastated by the expansion of bases for US military operations in the region. While gone I missed the West Bath Court arraignment for the Zumwalt 12 arrestees. We were arrested at BIW during the June 18 ‘christening’ of the second Zumwalt stealth destroyer. Bar Harbor lawyer Lynne Williams represented me in court on Aug. 2. Our group of peace protesters pled not guilty to the charges filed against... more »
Defending Okinawan Forests from U.S. Marine Base
Okinawa: Villagers confront Japanese riot police attempting to force through the construction of US Marine Corps helipads in the Yanbaru jungles. Japan Times reports: Since July, the Japanese government has been conducting a massive police campaign in the Takae district of Higashi village that has left at least five demonstrators hospitalized, infringed upon press freedoms and been condemned by Gov. Takeshi Onaga, media unions and local residents. Asked for comment on the injuries and blocking of reporters, the State Department referred The Japan Times to the Japanese government a... more »
Setting Up the Straw Man for Rigged Elections
We know that US elections have been rife with manipulation for many years. We know that major league voter suppression and voting machine manipulation have been around for a long time. In recent days the allegations (and that is all they are) that Russia is hacking voter roles across the US appears to be part of a larger operation being undertaken by the ruling oligarchy in the US. The American people have become the enemy and cannot any longer be trusted with a proper honest voting system. So those who are running this corporate oligarchy (that is disguised as a democracy) are ... more »
Texas DA Willing to Prosecute on Behalf of the Vaccine Injured

Could A Looming Fiscal Crisis Doom America's Military Edge?
*Loren B. Thompson, National Interest*: *How A Looming Fiscal Crisis Could Doom America's Military Edge* The problem with defense professionals is that defense is all they think about. Other than spending time with the family and catching a football game on the weekend, they're all about war. So things that impinge on their profession from outside the military realm often come as a colossal surprise. The Budget Control Act is a case in point. Anybody who follows U.S. politics realizes that defense is a sideshow in the struggle for power. The big divide is between those who favor t... more »
The Donald's so-far-successful withholding of his tax returns tells us something terrible about us
*Doesn't it feel as if we're intruding on a private moment between Little Eric and Daddy The Donald?* *by Ken* Okay, this isn't breaking news, and it's Trump-themed, despite my avowed preference for avoiding that whole subject. But on the second count, I think a lot of things about the Trump Phenomenon need to be talked about because of things they tell us about ourselves as an electorate and populace, and on the first count, I think Daily Kos's Mark Sumner hit just the right note in his post last week "Eric Trump says you wouldn't understand his daddy's taxes." Donald Trump is t... more »
Fall 2016 Gaming Thoughts - Cthulhu Strikes Back?
*“The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them. They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen.”* - HP Lovecraft *Ghostbusters *continues to be a fun campaign for us - it works especially well given we've had a number of sessions where just 2 players plus me have been able to make it of late, with real world issues often causing us to be missing 3 players (our group is currently 5 plus me). *Icons *was a reasonably fun game, working better than most superhero games I've done but I don't think I've found ... more »

Is The Syrian Government In Name Only?
Alsouria *Tobias Schneider, War On The Rocks*: *The Decay of the Syrian Regime is Much Worse Than You Think* In a recent interview conducted by Aaron David Miller for Foreign Policy, Robert Malley, one of the president’s most trusted advisors on the Middle East, once again enumerated the competing priorities of U.S. Syria policy: the need to balance humanitarian concerns with the desire to “preserve state institutions” and avoid a power vacuum so that the country does not slide into total anarchy. Over the past three years in particular, this line of argument has not only been a ... more »

*Carol Pires, New York Times*:* Rousseff’s Impeachment Changes the Government, Not the Politics* BRASÍLIA — The last photograph of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as president of Brazil, taken on Jan. 1, 2011, shows him moving down the ramp of the Palácio do Planalto, like an idolized performer who dives into his audience at the end of a show, ignoring his security detail and drowning in a sea of his supporters’ hands. Five and a half years later, Brazil’s Senate has provisionally suspended President Dilma Rousseff from office; on Wednesday she will be fully removed from the presidency... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
Young suns still lie within dusty NGC 7129, some 3,000 light-years away toward the royal constellation Cepheus. While these stars are at a relatively tender age, only a few million years old, it is likely that our own Sun formed in a similar stellar nursery some five billion years ago. Most noticeable in the sharp image are the lovely bluish dust clouds that reflect the youthful starlight. But the compact, deep red crescent shapes are also markers of energetic, young stellar objects. *Click image for larger size.* Known as Herbig-Haro objects, their shape and color is characteristic ... more »
Chet Raymo, "Nullius In Verba"
*"Nullius In Verba"* by Chet Raymo "Britain's Royal Society, established in 1660, was the first formal scientific association. It's early membership included such luminaries as Robert Hooke, Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton. They took as their motto Nullius in verba, which can be translated roughly as *"Take no one's word for it."* And thus ended, in that gathering at least, a millennium-and-a-half of a European intellectual tradition based on quoting authorities as proofs of arguments. It always helped, of course, to have Aristotle on your side. Or Augustine. Or Aq... more »
"Vitae Summa Brevis"
*"Vitae Summa Brevis"* "They are not long, the weeping and the laughter, Love and desire and hate: I think they have no portion in us after We pass the gate. They are not long, the days of wine and roses; Out of a misty dream Our path emerges for a while, then closes Within a dream." - Ernest Dowson “Vitae summa brevis spem nos vetat incohare longam” is a quotation from Horace’s “First Book of Odes”: “The shortness of life prevents us from entertaining far-off hopes.”
What is your daily news diet doing to you?
Despite the mamy good things about today’s world – materially the best time in history to be alive, says Johan Norberg – very few people are saying that. Why is that? Well, if you get your news solely from the fever swamp and from few places else, then consider that may be the reason you’re seeing the world through shit-tinted glasses. Most news today, says Bryan Caplan, is Orwell’s Ani*mal Farm* in reverse: *In a totalitarian state, there's a chasm between daily life and the media. Daily life is awful, but the media trumpets the glory of the status quo. The West now h... more »

Top U.S. Commander In The Middle East Warns Iran Of Aggressive Behavior
*The Hill:* *US general warns Iran the US Navy will protect itself in the Arabian Gulf* The top U.S. commander in the Middle East warned Iran that the U.S. will protect itself following a string of recent incidents in which the Iranian navy harassed U.S. ships in the Arabian Gulf. "I think the big concern here is miscalculation, that I'm very confident in the measures that our maritime forces are taking. They are measured. They are deliberate in the things that they are doing, but ultimately we are going to protect ourselves if that comes to a situation," said Army Gen. Joseph V... more »
