Most Brits Want A Brexit Do-Over So The U.K. Could Stay
The headlines about the new YouGov poll for *The Times* is bizarre. 38% of respondents prefer a further right government-- so Boris Johnson rather than Theresa May. OK, so 62% don't? And 24% of respondents are out-right racists. Ummm... so 76% aren't? Yet the headlines are all about the right-wing loons. Why not about how a new referendum on Brexit would come up with 54% remaining and 46% wanting to leave. Odd. Former Tory Prime Minister Sir John Major has said a second Brexit referendum is “morally justified”-- as a new poll revealed support for staying in the EU over crashing o... more »

The sheriffs were called and Charlie's Power Wagon has been there ever since.

*"Book of Hours II, 16"* "How surely gravity's law, strong as an ocean current, takes hold of even the strongest thing and pulls it toward the heart of the world. Each thing- each stone, blossom, child- is held in place. Only we, in our arrogance, push out beyond what we belong to for some empty freedom. If we surrendered to earth's intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees. Instead we entangle ourselves in knots of our own making and struggle, lonely and confused.

THE DE-MAINSTREAMING OF THE DEMOCRATS
A new NBC/*Wall Sreet Journal* poll was just released, and this set of numbers seems significant: Democratic congressional candidates used to be seen as quite close to the mainstream. Now they aren't seen that way. What happened? And how worried should we be about it?

Like a typical right wing class act, Pirro called all the hosts "cocksuckers" before sniffling about all her woes on Sean Handjob's radio sho... more »

Did President Trump Say Pedophiles Will Get the Death Penalty?

Martine Croxall giving the trumbs down to Brexit? And now, before I go and lie down, here's a link to last night's paper review on the BBC News Channel which will bring us back to the reality of BBC bias: *The Papers, BBC News Channel* Please watch BBC presenter Martine Croxall and pro-EU former Lib Dem spokeswoman Jo Phillips gang up on the pro-Brexit-sounding chap from the *Evening Standard,* and just savour the moment when Martine seems to realise that she'd gone too far in defence of the EU and makes an 'off course that's not my opinion' comment to camera before then, very soon... more »
Walking for relief
Walking in the neighborhood yesterday in Bath, Maine. MB is taking great care of me - foot and leg massages, good food, wonderful company, and keeping the ice wrap going after my various exercises are done. Laying in bed with laptop is giving me the chance to watch my Baltimore Orioles who are currently the worst team in major league baseball. They are selling off many of their good players in hopes of rebuilding. Might be a good idea to get rid of their lousy management too. The Orioles are my 'escape' from the harsh realities of the world - oops! I start physical therapy on T... more »
Seen in Cairo : The Last Days of S. Hinhayat in Maspero Triangle
[image: Egypt's Oldest shop] The X Mark like a bad omen on the shop Seen in Cairo what it could be the last days of 111-years S. Hinhayat shop, Egypt’s oldest surviving watches and clock shop “most probably in the MiddleEast”. I have been fascinated with that sign and how it says "Established in 1907" and how its Egyptian owner and his heirs have kept the name of that Bulgarian man "Solomon Hinhayat" since he had sold it their grandfather in 1948. Unfortunately, that shop won’t be here for too long as its building will be demolished for that mega development project of Maspero trian... more »
Another Crooked Hockey Stick
Update July 22, 2018 No one knew how long this divergence of surplus ice would persist, but 2018 Arctic ice extent resembled a hockey stick until two days ago. Through day 200 the gap over 11 year average and 2007 was increasing, but then more than 400k km2 disappeared overnight. Despite the bent blade, presently […]
Europe should enthusiastically accept Mnuchin's free trade offer
A trade war won't ever make America great again. If the U.S. reduces its trade deficit without damaging its good image as the greatest destination for investments and the home of the most important reserve currency, it will simply strengthen the U.S. dollar and the stronger U.S. dollar will lead to the growth of the trade deficit to levels comparable to the present one. If the U.S. or Donald Trump manages to reduce the attractiveness of the U.S. dollar, treasuries (U.S. bonds), and stocks, then the U.S. trade deficit may indeed shrink or disappear but many Americans will notice th... more »
Interesting times
Fascinating This wouldn't be a credible blog about BBC bias if we didn't note that the BBC has been under relentless fire this past week or so for that very thing: bias. Sir Cliff's victory over the Beeb may have grabbed the headlines, but the BBC's senior reporters and editors (including News Editor James Stephenson and Editor of BBC Live Political Programmes Rob Burley) have also been fending off attacks from the pro-EU Left. BBC press releases have gone out, put lots of Twitter rebuttals and *Feedback *appearances, and it's felt almost like a fight to the death. I'd been bro... more »
Injured stray puppy hitches ride into town on man’s back
An injured puppy has had an eventful start to life in an adventure that began when he saw a passing cyclist. Mountain biker Jarrett Little was riding with a group of friends when he spotted a stray dog that had been hit by a car. The group gave the pup some water and what food they had on hand before deciding to transport him for medical treatment. This picture, taken by Chris Dixon, shows the moment that Jarrett put the stricken dog onto his back and rode for miles to the nearest town of Columbus, Georgia, USA. Jarrett recalled: ‘He was thin, hadn’t eaten in a while and had obvi... more »
If Tax Cuts Haven't Killed You Yet, Surely the End of Net Neutrality Will
It’s been a little over a month since “net neutrality” regulations officially ended, reverting civilization back into those internet dark ages of 2015 we all remember. In the final days of the Obama administration's federal expansion and power grab, faceless government bureaucrats were handed the sweeping power of regulation, framed with a misleading name of neutrality, and classified the internet as a common utility under the Federal Communications Act. It gave them power to regulate Internet providers as if three dozen or so ISPs in the United States constituted some kind of nef... more »

Trumpista Imperialists think they’ll conquer China
A truly easy and effective solution would be for the Wall Street privateers including tRump and anybody who believes China or any other nation needs to be “put in their place” should finance their own ventures with their stolen money gathered during the past centuries since the British sent Capitalist/Racist/Fascist colonists in 1585 to slaughter […]
“Agro-Ecology” campaign enshrines primitive agriculture and malnutrition as human rights
It essentially asserts that indigenous, traditional farmers must be shielded from market forces and modern technologies, so that they can continue using ancient, primitive, “culturally appropriate” methods.

Social Engineering: The Koch Brothers, Americans for Prosperity, i360 and Social Science One
The socially conservative and economic libertarian Koch brothers are intent on SOCIAL ENGINEERING America in their vision. Social engineering was developed in the early twentieth century as a means for controlling populations by engineering their aspirations, lifestyles, and day-to-day habits. Social engineering in the early 20th century was described by Rachel Lemov in her fantastic book, World as Laboratory. A book review at Anthropology Net succinctly captures the essence of Lemov's narrative: Lexis Praxis. https://anthropology.net/2008/10/09/a-response-to-world-as-laboratory... more »

BBC’s Fake Heat Record Claims
By Paul Homewood Last week, the BBC seriously misled the public about so-called “heat records”, as I noted in this post here. In particular the BBC made a song and dance about Southern California, even though the LA records were seriously compromised by siting in car parks or next to […]
