Democrats Aren't Just Going To Hold Their House Majority-- They're Going To Expand It... By A Lot. Thank Trump, Not Cheri
*South Carolina Blue Dog freshman Joe Cunningham chose to vote with the Republicans for his entire first term. Will any amount of money save him in an R+10 district?* Last year, the pundits and Beltway prognosticators who take Nate Silver seriously did the same thing they're doing this year. They acknowledged that Democrats running for Congress were ahead and then proceeded to argue if the party would win 3-4 seats or manage to actually win 6 or 7. It was idiotic because by the time they were writing that, the Democrats were already up by two dozen and momentum against Trump and his... more »

Saturday snippet: Sam the Sex God
Some years ago I published "Walls, Wire, Bars and Souls", a memoir of my service as a prison chaplain. Many of the realities of prison life are grim and unappealing, but there are flashes of humor even inside the walls that can relieve the tension. Here's one incident, as narrated in that book. A large proportion of the hardened criminals in high-security institutions are mentally unstable, to say the least. Some are downright psychotic. We have psychologists who constantly monitor our inmate population, treat those who need it, and advise the rest of us on problem areas. Inmat... more »

IRS: Sorry, but It’s Just Easier and Cheaper to Audit the Poor
This has been always true and such audits can also be easily done as well. Add in that there are way more potentially easy audits when you also include the simply well to do. After all, until you are in the top third of earners, you have little incentive to hire expensive accounting advice. Obviously the same hold true for top earners as well. Something else though, a top earner pays for correct accounting work. No accountant is big on defrauding the IRS. Thus the top earners do pay the correct taxes as a matter of course. In fact paying your taxes then frees up the balance f... more »
Former Merck Scientist Explains Why He Doesn’t Vaccinate His Children Due to Lack of Vaccine Safety Studies
I have been tracking this problem for years and could never find useful supporting science. This expert is saying as much. The whole industry has actually run a scientific fraud from almost inception. The industry itself was based on one exceptional case in which cow pox served to protect against the hyper deadly Small pox. Nothing else has ever had those particular characteristics and instead it shifted to weakened forms of the target disease. This was successful for some target pathogens and that was good. It just does not hold true for every pathogen at all. The pathoge... more »
The U.S. Death Camps of WWII: Confessions of a Prison Guard
Obviously this was all hidden. Considering that the Germans were been outright punished for the crimes of their masters. After all let us do the same for all Blacks in the USA for enabling their masters. Exact same difference. The true horror of war is that as it progresses the participants become decivilized. Slowly it all goes away. Wanton cruelty is almost impossible in the beginning and becomes the rule at the end. I have actually never seen this aspect of war commented on at all. Recall hundreds of thousands of captured German soldiers died after the fighting ended i... more »
11 Million Germans Were Murdered After WWII
Of course we do not really know what the real numbers were. It is noteworthy that this policy of directed genocide continued over essentially three years. That is more than enough time to kill millions though the simple act of starvation. It is clear that the USA and the Russians conducted this policy. It is reasonable that the French also participated while it also appears that the Brits generally abstained generally from my own informants.What i find shocking here is that this did not simply apply to captured soldiers, but also to civilians as well. Thus actions were direc... more »

Re-Reading Reading Capital
Re-reading *Reading Capital* was an unexpected delight. When I first sat down with this book 17 or 18 years ago, each page was scoured over meticulously with a determination to unspool the meaning of Althusser's tightly-wound prose. It got to the ludicrous point of amassing a pile of notes for the first third of the book greater even than the hefty wedge I recently turned out while reading actual *Capital*. Coming back to *Reading Capital* many years later and after much practice reading difficult social theory, I found ploughing through something of a (semi-masochistic) pleasure. ... more »
