Stray puppy wags her tail at every passerby trying to get someone to notice her
A stray puppy’s persistence paid off when she refused to be left behind after she caught the eye of a group of rescuers who usually save elephants. The small puppy was trying to survive in the coldest city in Sri Lanka, living at the market at the time. She would wag her tail every time someone passed her, trying to get someone to notice her. That’s when Lek Chailert and some fellow rescuers from Elephant Nature Park noticed her. Elephant Nature Park in Thailand is home to elephants rescued from all kinds of hardships and situations.

*"Stock Market Cheerleading: * *Why Do We Celebrate the Super-Rich Getting Richer?"* by Charles Hugh Smith "It's not too difficult to predict a political rebellion against the machinery of soaring wealth and income inequality. The one constant across the media-political spectrum is an unblinking focus on the stock market as a barometer of the national economy: every major media outlet from the New York Times to Fox News prominently displays stock market action, and TV news anchors' expressions reflect the media's emotional promotion of the market as the end all to be all: if stocks ... more »
"The State..."
“The state - or, to make matters more concrete, the government - consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can’t get, and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time it is made good by looting ‘A’ to satisfy ‘B’. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a... more »

A New Deal for Sustainable Development
Global Issues News Headlines - 11 hours ago
KUALA LUMPUR and SYDNEY, Nov 13 (IPS) - Almost nine decades ago, newly elected US President Franklin Roosevelt introduced the New Deal in 1933 in response to the Great Depression. The New Deal consisted of a number of mutually supportive initiatives, of which the most prominent were: a public works programme financed by budget deficits; a new social contract to improve living standards for all working families, including creation of the US social security system; and financial regulation to protect citizens' assets and channel financial resources into productive investments.

Bill Taylor (L) and George Kent (R) are sworn in to testify. Jim Lo Scalzo/Pool via REUTERS *WNU Editor:* This is it? I see policy differences, but where is the overwhelming impeachable evidence that was promised by the media and the Democrats for the past few days? I have been watching these hearings on my cell phone (I am on a train right now), and it is clear that there is no eye-witness first hand knowledge of any of these key-events from these witnesses. All I see are officials talking about their opinions, and doing it in a very arrogant and condescending manner. And after tw... more »

Over the past hundred years there have been two guns that have defined semiautomatic pistols in the United States. The Colt M1911A1, now popularly known as the 1911, and the Glock 17, which were designed seventy years apart and each dominated the market for decades that followed.

One of the most important roles a handgun can play is in home defense. Compact and easy to secure, handguns are ideal weapons for defending one’s own home. Caliber aside, one of the major questions when picking a home-defense gun is whether or not to choose a revolver or semiautomatic handgun.

New School Strike And Continued Protest Actions In Southern Iraq
Students on strike in Maysan province (Al Ghad Press) Iraq’s Teachers’ Union called for a new general strike after the first one expired a few days ago. That shut down most of the country’s schools in the south. Speaking of that region, protesters tried to re-start the sit-in camp in Basra, there were more clashes in Dhi Qar, and new demonstrations in Karbala and Maysan. Iraq’s Teacher’s Union started a new strike. That led most schools and universities in southern Iraq and Baghdadto shut down. On October 27 students in Baghdad walked out of their schools and joined the protests. ... more »

"The Deadliness of Certainty"
*"The Deadliness of Certainty"* by Kathleen Parker "Freud recognized that human beings have a sex drive and even a death drive. Is it possible that we also have an aphorism drive? We do seem attracted to pat answers and pithy summation- especially from our politicians. It isn't enough to be wise or effective; one must be quotable. In fact, aphorism is the oldest written art form, according to aphorism expert and author James Geary ("The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism"). Before famed aphorists Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker and Woody Allen put the party in repartee, ... more »

'Sneaky coup': Exiled Bolivian leader condemns senator for declaring herself president
Just In - 13 hours ago
Bolivian opposition senator Jeanine Anez proclaims herself Bolivia's interim president, in an effort to fill the power vacuum left by the abrupt resignation of Evo Morales, who immediately condemned the move as a "sneaky coup."
"And Sometimes..."
"When we're headed toward an outcome that's too horrible to face, that's when we go looking for a second opinion. And sometimes, the answer we get just confirms our worst fears. But sometimes, it can shed new light on the problem, make you see it in a whole new way. After all the opinions have been heard and every point of view has been considered, you finally find what you're after- the truth. But the truth isn't where it ends, that's just where you begin again with a whole new set of questions." - Dr. Meredith Grey, "Grey's Anatomy" "The closer you look, the more complicated it get... more »
Delingpole: Cambridge Prof – UK’s Green Energy Targets Require ‘Herds of Unicorns’
By Paul Homewood From Breitbart: The green energy targets being pursued by Britain’s main political parties are so impossibly deluded, fantastical and overambitious that they could only be achievable with the intervention of herds of magical unicorns. So says Cambridge engineering professor Michael Kelly in a stinging rebuke to the Net Zero policies currently […]
The Ukrainian Influence Peddling Rings – A Microcosm of How Imperial Washington Rolls
[image: undefined] *Mykola Zlochevsky, former employer of Hunter Biden and current partner of the Atlantic Council* Last night we heard some knucklehead on the War Channel (CNN) braying about Ukraine as a vitally important "ally and strategic partner". The implication, of course, was that the Donald’s attempted squeeze play on its new President was dangerously undermining national security. What unadulterated tommyrot! The safety and security of the American homeland has absolutely nothing to do with it. That’s because Ukraine is a no count, strategically irrelevant patch of earth ... more »
The Twilight of Liberty: the State Destroys Alternative Media
[image: undefined] It should be obvious by now what the plan is for Julian Assange—psychological torture resulting in either a total breakdown or an untimely death, the latter supported by the psychopaths who claim they are our leaders. This psychological torture was noted, with standard corporate media disinterest, by Nils Melzer, an internationally recognized expert on torture treatment. “Unless the UK urgently changes course and alleviates his inhumane situation, Mr. Assange’s continued exposure to arbitrariness and abuse may soon end up costing his life,” Melzer, UN special rap... more »
Bolivian Coup Comes Less Than a Week After Morales Stopped Multinational Firm's Lithium Deal
[image: undefined] The Sunday military coup in Bolivia has put in place a government which appears likely to reverse a decision by just-resigned President Evo Morales to cancel an agreement with a German company for developing lithium deposits in the Latin American country for batteries like those in electric cars. "Bolivia's lithium belongs to the Bolivian people," tweeted Washington Monthly contributor David Atkins. "Not to multinational corporate cabals." The coup, which on Sunday resulted in Morales resigning and going into hiding, was the result of days of protests from right... more »

Don't Sleep on SIG's MG 710-3 Machine Gun
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * A reliable and legendary weapon. *Key Question:* Can this design deliver? One of the greatest revolutions in military small arms occurred during WWII. The German MG34 and MG42 almost totally revolutionized light machine guns. Prior to the war, most nations fielded light, magazine-fed machine guns as the light machine guns in a weapons platoon or section. After the war, almost everyone wanted a light belt fed for that role. The Soviets developed the RPD, the Americans slowly developed the M60, but most of the world adopted the FN MAG.

Heckler & Koch's P2000: Can It Still Take on a Glock or Sig Sauer Despite Its Age?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Can this deliver as a concealed-carry firearm? *Key point:* German engineering meets an easily concealed, compact handgun. The world of compact defensive handguns is a crowded one, but one pistol that stands out ahead of the pack is the Heckler and Koch P2000 pistol. Introduced to market in 2001, the P2000 has carved out a niche as a pistol for those that appreciate fine German engineering and attention to detail in a carry handgun. Even as the company has introduced new compact handguns the P2000 remains in production, a testament to the pistol’s ma... more »
Religious Diversity and Challenges in the U.S. Military
*Ronit Y. Stahl* *History, Americas* [image: Reuters] The government did not spontaneously decide to make the chaplaincy more religiously diverse. Rather, the draft conscripted millions of young men from varied religious backgrounds to fight for the United States in World War I. In 1919, Lee Levinger buried four soldiers in France. The responsibility to preside over a funeral was not unusual for military chaplains. But during World War I, most Americans would have been surprised to learn that a rabbi led a service for four Christian soldiers. In 1917, when the United States ente... more »
Only Child Mythology Debunked
*Ana Aznar* *Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] Some studies have found that only children tend to be more intelligent and have higher academic achievement than people with siblings. Only children get a bad rap. They are often perceived as selfish, spoiled, anxious, socially inept and lonely. And my profession, psychology, may be partly to blame for these negative stereotypes. Indeed, Granville Stanley Hall, one of the most influential psychologists of the last century and the first president of the American Psychological Association, said that “being an only child is a disease i... more »
The Many Promises of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed
*Yohannes Gedamu* *Politics, Africa* [image: Reuters] This federal system draws its legitimacy from citizens maintaining a strong ethnic identity at the regional level. In light of this the new premier has two options. When Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed came to power in 2018, the political reforms and initiatives he promised were met with much hope and optimism. He promised to address Ethiopia’s deteriorating ethnic relations, to build national unity, and reignite the stalled democratic process. And his efforts to end the 20-year conflict with Eritrea won him the 2019 Nobel Peace Pr... more »

Watch: Bolivia’s military coup has demolished the country’s democratic process
Bolivia's military coup has demolished the country's democratic process. Anya Parampil explains why a November 13 vote in the Bolivian senate is so crucial. The vote takes place a day after an unknown opposition lawmaker, Jeanine Áñez, declared herself president of the senate and country without any democratic mandate. Meanwhile, state security forces have launched an intimidation campaign against lawmakers of the ruling MAS party, which controls a vast majority of senate seats,

The Impeachment Farce Opens Wednesday: A Memo to the President Trump’s Friends
*“Nothing Is As Hostile to Wisdom as Too Much Subtlety” —Edgar Allen Poe, citing Cicero, and referencing his Masterpiece, “The Purloined Letter” * Here are the things to keep in mind about Wednesday’s impeachment farce, featuring U.S. State Department bureaucrats William B.

Pink Razors, Manly Beer, And Lady Backpacks - The Folly Of Gendered Products
As women started counting steps and walking to work wearing running shoes and fitness trackers, there was one work-related item that had to change: the briefcase. It’s not suited to walking fast and gets in the way of drinking coffee en route to the office. Enter the working women’s backpack. It’s a trend. *The Atlantic* announced that this is the year professional women started wearing backpacks, even though some of us swear it’s been going on for a while. The sale of women’s backpacks is up by more than 20 per cent in the past year, but the sale of men’s backpacks has flat-lined... more »

Franita Tolson I am thankful for the opportunity to review Professor David Schwartz’s really thoughtful and incisive critique of *McCulloch v. Maryland*.

With Lebanon Making Fragile Progress, Now Is the Wrong Time to Pull U.S. Assistance
Photo Credit: Reuters/Alkis Konstantinidis via The Nation *Editor’s Note: This article originally appeared on *Order from Chaos*.* Lebanon’s protesters show that the once-unthinkable may now be plausible. The proxies of Iran and Syria in Lebanon, after years of solidarity, show tentative signs of diverging. With even Shia protesters on the street, and with Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah’s calls to disperse unheeded, Hezbollah’s façade of invincibility is showing cracks. The Lebanese army and security forces have responded with admirable courage, restraint, and indepe... more »

FTC Cracks Down On Edu-Influencers
One of the small tricks that education marketers have developed is to enlist teachers as brand ambassadors. Teachers are, after all, the voices most often trusted by other teachers, so it's got to be a real boost if you can get Mrs. Teachwell to tout your product on Twitter or Instagram or Pinterest. And the beauty of it is that Mrs. Teachwell may come cheap-- some free product, box of pens, maybe even some actual money. It's a fuzzy ethical line; do teachers who accept some sort of marketing deal compromise their professional judgment? On the other hand, if you find an edu-product ... more »
