Robert Mueller suspects that Paul Manafort may have been the Trump campaign's back channel to Russians intent on meddling in the election.

READING COMEY: Roads not taken, questions not asked!
*FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2018Part 5—Once again, god gets a pass:* We haven't read James B. Comey's book, the lofty and deeply thoughtful "A Higher Loyalty." In part for that reason, "reading Comey" in the colloquial sense isn't real easy for us. He strikes us as a rather strange duck, in large part due to his obsession with hiw own moral standing. Reading Niebuhr in college was one thing. Obsessing on Niebuhr at age 57 strikes us as different and odd. Some reviewers have shown true belief in Comey as they've reviewed his book.

Rapper Kanye West once told the press he doesn't smile for photos because "it just wouldn't look as cool," and humanities scholars who have to write about something have written that the reason Dean became cool was because he didn't smile.

The Death of Liberal Biopolitics and the Rise of the Masters of the Universe

For example, see http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2018/04/creeping-totalitarianism-predicted-in.html Trump's latest policy inversion lends additional support to my thesis that liberalism, including liberal wars fought in the name of human rights, is ceding to this new form of governance.

Snake Oil Isn't Selling These Days
Paul Krugman writes that, in the United States, snake oil isn't selling like it used to. Exhibit A is Donald Trump's tax cuts. George Bush touted the same snake oil and Americans bought it: In the past, deficit hypocrisy was an important weapon in the G.O.P. political arsenal. Both parties talked about fiscal responsibility, but only Democrats practiced it, actually paying for policy initiatives like Obamacare. Yet Democrats were punished for doing the right thing — remember “they’re taking $500 billion from Medicare”? — while Republicans seemingly paid no price for their cynicism.... more »

Sachs: "Get out...we've done enough damage"
Jeffrey Sachs (Columbia University), not one of my favorite people, in this moment tells the truth. He calls US policy in Syria "contrary to international law, contrary to the UN charter". His focus on revealing the CIA and Saudi regime change operation in Syria, which began under Obama, is important for the people in the US to hear. We don't often get that kind of historical memory articulated on mainstream TV. So thanks to Sachs for that. You can watch Jimmy Dore's excellent commentary on this MSNBC segment *here* Bruce

It is actually unreasonable to think that Assad can be eliminated simply because he has been forced to ally with Russia, Turkey and Iran and the latter two have an interest in opposing the Kurds as well.

Boost to World Bank and China is “Departure” From Trump's Vision
[image: boost-to-world-bank-and-china-is-departure-from-trump-s-vision] Despite President Donald Trump's “America First” campaign promises to rein in globalism in favor of Americanism, analysts on both sides say new reforms being pushed at the World Bank represent a “departure” from that agenda. Under the proposed agreement, which has not been made public yet, the World Bank is set to receive an infusion of new tax dollars while handing more power and influence to the regime ruling Communist China.

How Badly Will The Republican Tax Scam Hurt The GOP In The Midterms?
In Pennsylvania an ungerrymandered congressional map spelled doom and gloom for the GOP. That's why, at least in part, Charlie Dent, Ryan Costello, Bill Shuster and Pat Meehan all announced early retirements and why Brian Fitzpatrick, Rothfus and Mike Kelly still may (or wish they did). The PVIs of these districts changed significantly enough to drive these Republicans out of office. Costello's old district went from an R+2 to a D+2. Meehan's went from a R+1 to a D+13. Dent's went from an R+4 to a D+1. Fitzpatrick's went from R+2 to R+1. Scott Perry's went from an R+11 to an R+6. A... more »

“How massive can a normal star be?

No, they whisper. You own nothing. You were a visitor, time after time climbing the hill, planting the flag, proclaiming. We never belonged to you. You never found ... more »

Food Waste Is Why Vegetarians Are Harder On The Planet Than Meat Eaters
A new study finds that Americans waste nearly a pound of food per person per day. And at the top of it is fruits and vegetables.

People who believe they "eat more healthy" than others - the organic elite and vegetarians - have a food fetish for fresh vegetables. And Americans are told by government committees and pyramids they should want to eat vegetables, so they buy them and then throw them out when they start to spoil. When is the last time you threw out moldy pizza? read more
