Part 2, Trolling A Trumpanzee In Queen Liz's Court
*by Noah* No one inspires more meme creation than President Head Case and, perhaps his sad little excursion to England dressed as a penguin tops the list of fodder for such things. After all, it seems that every single photo of Trump and his "Low IQ" family in England has inspired a meme, including the one above, taken in front of a "No Photos" sign. I covered some of the best of the meme lot a few days ago, but today, I'd just like to show you a few of the signs that the protesters that have been displaying around London during the Trump Family infestation.

Could The U.S. Navy's World War II Plans Used To Defeat Japan Be Used On China?

*"The Real Source of Wealth Inequality"* By Bill Bonner YOUGHAL, IRELAND – “The only way that people really improve their wealth is by buying a house, condo, whatever it may be, owning shares of stock,” says Mark Cuban. He was on Yahoo! Finance addressing the issue of inequality of wealth, which many people consider a problem. But the analysis was bad; the advice was some of the worst we’ve ever heard. Buying stocks or houses may have been a good plan for 1982. Maybe for 1992. And maybe even 2002. But for 2019? Is the pattern of the last 30 years likely to continue? *Soft Economy:... more »
Your Hot Take on Peterborough
It doesn't matter how Farage spins it, defeat for his Brexit Party in the Peterborough by-election is an unexpected setback for his vanity project.

It's also a seat where 60% of the voting public supported Leave, and all this took place in a context where Brexit overdetermines all things political. Throw in the supposition the main parties are in disarray, how the former *Labour* incumb... more »
