'Something tells me you're expecting me to call Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite. There's been a bit about it in the press, and I... well, you know... But I'm not going to call him anything. He says he isn't an antisemite, Hamas says he isn't an antisemite, the white supremacist David Duke says he isn't an antisemite, and that's good enough for me. Am I being ironical? Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm incapable of irony. We know what an antisemite look like. He wears jackboots, a swastika arm-band, and shouts Juden Raus; Jeremy Corbyn wears a British Home Stores vest under his shirt and is sof... more »

The Hottest Race In Orange County Pits A Progressive Woman Against A Reactionary Woman
Yesterday, CNBC interviewed notorious Trump rubber stamp Mimi Walters, from Orange County, California. I mentioned her county rather than her district (CA-45) because it's an inland district and she prefers to live on the beach-- in Dana Rohrabacher's district.

You're not going to find many voting records as Trumpified as this one-- and certainly not in Orange County. Walters is among T... more »

New information had been mentioned to George Knapp during his hosting duties on *Coast-to-Coast*. Dr. Eric Davis had made the comment. But what did he actually say?

In an amazing twist, St Paisios prediction about the reign of the Anti Christ, which was contingent on certain events happening in time, has come true. These events describe a “dystopian” court case, which forms a perfect fit to my own legal case against Alexis Tsipras in Greece in every respect as everyone can verify […]

There are good reasons to permit farmers and home-based food processors such as bakers to sell food to their neighbors without oversight, but in most every state this is not permitted. It’s not about food safety, but about corporate control of the food system. On the day after the Maine L... more »
