Dutch Lies Over Putin’s ‘Aggression’ Expose NATO War Agenda

Will Missouri Have The Worst Senate Race Of 2018? It Just Took Another Step In That Direction
On Thursday the Senate Majority Super-PAC, which is controlled by Schumer released 2 videos essentially the same, one for Indiana conservative Joe Donnelly and one for Missouri conservative Claire McCaskill (above). The message of the 2 ads is that the GOP tax scam that both voted against gives 83% of the benefits to the richest one percent of the population while adding $1.5 trillion to the national debt.

TPPF Announces Campaign to Combat Poverty, Promote Prosperity Led By Lt. Col. Allen West
Content Multimedia - 7 hours ago
By Kevin Roberts, Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.) The Texas Public Policy Foundation is proposing to redefine the debate on poverty, wellbeing, and opportunity. We believe there is an approach that can truly end the cycle of poverty by first debunking the idea that taxation, government programs, and invasive policy solutions help our nation's poor to escape their burdens. And then promote good policies that start with the principles fostered by Booker T. Washington.

The Sociology of Mass Shootings
Britain hasn't had a school shooting for almost 22 years, and the last indiscriminate killing spree with guns was eight years ago. Apart from mass casualty terror attacks, this sort of thing happens once in a blue moon. So it is in pretty much every other European country. Even in Switzerland, which has liberal gun laws closer to the United States than its immediate neighbours, there is hardly what you would call an epidemic of crimes committed with firearms, let alone mass shootings. Therefore given their awful frequency, surely there has to be something exceptional about US cultu... more »

School shootings are too awful to think about carefully. I try and avoid thinking of this rupture in the fiber of our being.

They are a metaphor for a time in which more and more people are enraged and are willing to take drastic action to express that rage, whether it be thro... more »
