“Tax Cuts for the Rich…Hallelujah!”
*“Tax Cuts for the Rich…Hallelujah!”* by Bill Bonner “Have we been too cynical? Yesterday, the House passed its big tax-cut bill. The Dow popped up 187 points on the news. A reporter asked us later: ‘Will the Dow go to 40,000?’ Assuming a tax bill comes through the Senate and out of committee in more or less the same shape, it will be a bonanza for your editor. We are one of the people who will benefit most (relatively speaking). Most of our income is ‘pass-through’ money from an S corporation…and we need protection from estate taxes.

The Andrew Marr Show (featuring Rob Burley) - a Percy Grainger-style Ramble
You! As you know, there's nothing I love more on a Sunday... ...even more than my family and friends, Sunday dinner, not being at work, getting a lie-in, cats, *Countryfile*, 'Wine, Women and Song', Rod Liddle's *Sunday Times* column, *Bells on Sunday*, and (above all) it *not* being Monday... ...than reading *The Andrew Marr Show *editor Rob Burley's Twitter exchanges with his viewing public. I'd like to do a Rufus Norris and turn them into a National Theatre play. ( *I'd* supply the rhymes though, not Carol Ann Duffy). Now there's no doubt that Rob is very loyal to the BBC and, y... more »

MAD CHRISTIANS
Jesus taught that we are all brothers and that we should be tolerant and kind. Some Christians have made the world a better place by feeding the hungry and healing the sick. But, some so-called Christians have ignored the teachings of Jesus. *Catherine Nixey*, in *The Darkening Age*, writes about the *violence *and * ignorance* of some of the early Christians. *Outside a courthouse in Omaha, Will Brown, was mutilated and burned. Brown was almost certainly innocent of the crime of which he had been accused. Cached* 'Wearing beards and dressed in black, the religious zealots enter... more »

Battle Of Mosul Casualties Updated
There were recently two reports released in November 2017, which proved that there were still many unaccounted for casualties from the Mosul campaign. First, the United Nations released a study on the battle that included over 1,000 dead and wounded not reported before. Than the New York Times did an in depth study of Coalition air strikes during the Mosul operation, which found that there were many more incidents of civilian deaths than the Coalition acknowledged, and that it was using a flawed system to assess whether it caused any casualties. First, the United Nations’Assistan... more »

Commentaries, Analysis, And Editorials -- November 19, 2017
*John Campbell, The Hill*: *The fall of an African tyrant* Following its overnight move against the presidency of Robert Mugabe last week, the military controls Zimbabwe’s capital of Harare, and it thus far faces no significant opposition in other parts of the country. It has placed Mugabe and his wife, Grace, under house arrest. The leaders of the ZANU-PF youth league, whose spokesmen had pledged “to die” for Mugabe have been arrested, as has the finance minister, Ignatius Chombo, while other cabinet ministers are on the run. *Read more* .... *Commentaries, Analysis, And Editori... more »

Control Over US Nuclear Strikes and the Drums of War
Yesterday I observed that Yahoo and Newsweek were beating the drums of war in their mis-representation of the results of a Japanese public opinion poll concerning North Korea (see http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/who-is-beating-drums-of-war-and-for.html ) Today I read in the Asahi Shimbun that "the top officer at US Strategic Command" says that an order from the President to launch a nuclear weapon can be refused if the order is determined to be illegal: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (2017, Nov 19). US general says nuclear launch order can be refused. The Asahi Shimbun, http ://www.... more »

*Reuters*: *Mugabe given until noon Monday to quit as President of Zimbabwe* HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe’s ruling party fired Robert Mugabe as its leader on Sunday and gave the 93-year-old less than 24 hours to quit as head of state or face impeachment, an attempt to force a peaceful end to his 37 years in power after a de facto coup.

The Slow Return of Scottish Labour
Our Kez's departure to the jungle occasions Scottish Labour's tentative return from the wilderness. Coincidence? You couldn't plan it better. Richard Leonard's victory is another welcome step forward in the transformation of the party. Not only does the Corbyn majority on the NEC increase by one (another case of Labour right machinations coming back to bite them), but we now have a leftwing leader in what has historically been the bastion of everything rotten in the party. For example, remember this story? Yup, Scottish Labour. While the victory for the left is getting hailed as de... more »
Kathi Thomas, progressive Texan: "The Difference Between Running To Be Elected And Running To Serve"
TX-25 is another one of those gerrymandered Texas districts created as part of Tom DeLay's plan to disenfranchise Democratic voters. It twists and turns and winds its way from East Austin and the UT campus west and and south to Dripping Springs and north through Lake Travis and Gatesville all the way up to Burleson in the Fort Worth suburbs. There are 13 counties in the district, most of the voters living in Travis, Johnson, Hayes, Burnet and Coryell counties. McCain beat Obama there 56-43% and Romney did even better-- 60-38%. Trump underperformed both McCain and Romney, but he sti... more »
