Thoughts on Thursday
*Kavanaugh* The corrupt, progressive, sly, lying elite media is pushing its minions on every single issue put forward by President Trump. There is no picking battles. Though the supreme court nomination will cost them a lot of political capital that they're bound do lose. It doesn't matter. The Trump Presidency has every possibility of destroying the progressive movement (at the moment, headed by Hillary Clinton). Trump successes, and there are lots of them, sends the message that you don't have to be a politician to achieve big in politics. That's toxic to professional parasites. ... more »

Must A Human Be An Ape? The Ultimate Problem of Self-Classification
Ethical Technology - 1 hour ago
*How humans came to descend from apes* The Oxford English Dictionaries define ‘human’ in three ways, which are listed in the following order: (1) whatever distinguishes people from God, animals and machines; (2) whenever people behave in a highly desirable fashion; (3) whoever is a member of the genus Homo. These are really quite different definitions. The first has the greatest conceptual clarity, but its clarity is limited to the realm of the conceptual. Making that definition work in practice is diabolical. The second is unclear in both theory and practice. However, it taps into... more »

Vitamin D deficiency affects many pregnant women
This needs to become a general public health priority. After years of tracking best practice, it is clear to myself that we all need to consume 2,000 mg of vitamin D and 5,000 mg of vitamin C.

The separation of migrant families: cruelty as a migration policy
bilaterals.org - 2 hours ago
12-Jul-2018 In an accentuated anti-immigrant context of clear criminalization of Central Americans and Mexicans without migratory documents in their attempt to enter the US, measures on the separation of thousands of families (most of them from Central America) are the new face of the racist nationalism of the American government and its current president. This is framed within the various discriminatory strategies (such as deportations and the expansion of the border wall) with a view to "containing" and "eradicating" irregular migration from the south.

The timing alone has already cast a dark symbolic shadow at a moment when a clear dis...more »

"There Is Suffering In Life..."
"But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for." - Paulo Coelho "You cannot kill me here. Bring your soldiers, your death, your disease, your collapsed economy because it doesn't matter, I have nothing left to lose and you cannot kill me here. Bring the tears of orphans and the wails of a mother's loss, bring your Jesus on a cross, bring your hate and bitterness and long working hours, bring your empty wallets an... more »

"Meatsacking and Solyzynitsyn"
*"Meatsacking and Solyzynitsyn"* by Eric Peters "Thank the motor gods, automated car technology is nowhere near ready – because the people are. Ready to sit and gape and text and wait. Anything except drive. They will welcome the opportunity not to do so. To a startling degree, they already have. Here’s a story which is merely one of many. You probably have several such of your own: I was driving home – well, trying to drive home – on a stretch of Blue Ridge Parkway that is being resurfaced. Since most people apparently can no longer negotiate a work zone on their own, cannot manag... more »
Alvogen - This Company Doesn't Want Government Buying Its Drugs
In Ely, about 250 north of Las Vegas, Nevada is scheduled to hold its first execution in 12 years. Nothing controversial about that, because in 2002 Scott Dozier murdered Jeremiah Miller after he traveled to Las Vegas where Dozier had promised to help him make methamphetamine. Dozier dumped him in a trash bin, three years later killed at least one other person, and has been on "death row" since 2007. And nothing controversial about Dozier wanting to die rather than spend the rest of his life in prison. read more

Daniel Greenfield on "The Second Civil War"
Daniel Greenfield is a well-known commentator, blogger and author. In a speech to the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention in Myrtle Beach last January, he outlined what he sees as the Second Civil War in the USA - and it's happening already. In the light of the fuss about the nomination of Justice Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court, I thought it might be worthwhile to remind ourselves of the roots of the opposition to his appointment. If you prefer, you'll find a transcript of his speech here. Food for thought, indeed. Peter
“You Hurt People” – What A Holistic Psychiatrist Learned From 87,000 Brain Scans
There is nothing more alarming than when a young child starts to act up and to show aggression for seemingly no reason. When sudden behavioral changes happen, parents usually get kids into psychotherapy where they get medicated or counseled. But as one psychiatrist reports, the first hurts the patients, and the second does not always work. The cause of aggression, violence, and behavioral, and mental issues do not always come from psychological roots. Sometimes the cause is completely different. A Brain Scan of A Young Boy Changed Everything In 1995, psychiatrist Daniel Amen, M.D.... more »
World News Briefs -- July 11, 2018 (Evening Edition)
*Reuters:* *Trump calls Germany 'captive' of Russia; demands higher defense spending* BRUSSELS (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump accused Germany on Wednesday of being a “captive” of Russia due to its energy reliance, before a NATO summit where he pressed allies to more than double defense spending. Having lambasted NATO members for failing to reach a target of spending 2 percent of national income on defense, Trump told fellow leaders in Brussels he would prefer a goal of 4 percent, similar to U.S. levels, officials said. That would represent a massive upheaval of budgetar... more »
How far is far-right?
Listening to the Today Programme this morning I heard Ross Hawkins’s alarming vox-pop cameo, which was clearly designed to advance the absurd hypothesis that the threat of violence from the “extreme far-right” is equal to, if not in excess of, the violence (terrorism) motivated by Islamic extremism. While he was at it, he also managed to belittle Sara Khan, who was in the studio talking to Mishal Husain, who conducted this interview in her ‘impatient-schoolmarm’ voice. (No saccharine tones for Sara Khan this morning.) I know full transcriptions can be dull, but since you’re here ... more »
