It's All The Rage For Candidates To Say They Won't Take Corporate Cash-- While Taking It
*Would you guess this came from Gideon or Collins? Or one of their corporately-funded super-PACs?* Over the last week I've had a running argument with some centrist Democrats about the bullshit pledge-- bullshit in some cases, heartfelt in others-- Democratic candidates routinely take to eschew corporate PAC money. Why bullshit? Three reasons: 1- corporate PACs tend to spend on incumbents, not challengers, especially not Democratic challengers. 2- when the challengers get to Congress-- especially the ones who join the New Dems or the Blue Dog caucus, they forget they ever took the ... more »

On Metaphysical Propositions
Philosophy, unlike science, is never fully rational and cannot be founded on purely empirical evidence. Every philosophy assumes certain basic facts which cannot be proved or disproved on the basis of existing knowledge. These basic facts are mostly the metaphysical presuppositions (also known as axioms) which can be based on theological or atheistic rationalizations. Without such presuppositions or axioms, no philosophy is possible.

Photographs taken at today's demonstration against Second Amendment restrictions in Richmond, Virginia. All are sourced from various Web sites, and have been posted multiple times, so I don't know their origin. If anyone took them and wants them removed, or a copyright acknowledgment, I'll be glad to comply. And did you notice how much of the left-wing mainstream media went dead silent on the subject, as soon as it became clear that the protesters were basically decent, law-abiding citizens protesting legislative overreach? They wanted to blare banner headlines abou... more »

'Newsnight' goes Through the Looking-Glass
Allison Pearson has been watching *Newsnight* tonight. Most of the programme was taken up discussing the BBC in the light of Lord Hall's departure: This BBC *Newsnight* discussion misses the fact that the BBC projects a metropolitan point of view in most of its output. But the country now has the upper hand. The BBC can’t respond because its staff don’t get the country. Indeed, and it was quite surreal. MB on the open thread nails it: We can analyse ourselves objectively. To begin with we will have three pro-BBC guests/pensioners on who will show industrial levels of delusion. ... more »
The key problem with the Democrats impeachment "case"
While there are many problems with the Democrats sham impeachment charges the biggest problem is that it cites no crimes. The Constitution says that the President can be impeached if he commits a crime: *The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.* Yet neither of the acts of impeachment mention any crime. Bill Clinton wasn't impeached because he cheated on his wife but because he lied under oath, perjury which is a felony, abo... more »

A Certain Stage of Development
At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production, or–this merely expresses the same thing in legal terms–with the property relations within the framework of which they have operated hitherto.

The Iran Regime Is Not Going To Change
Handout / Reuters *Suzanne Maloney, The Atlantic*: *Iran’s Leaders Have a Problem They Can’t Fix* The downing of a plane showed citizens what’s wrong with the Iranian government, but the regime has no plans to change.

"Instability Rising: Why 2020 Will Be Different"
*"Instability Rising: Why 2020 Will Be Different"* By Charles Hugh Smith "In 2020, increasing monetary and fiscal stimulus will be the equivalent of spraying gasoline on a fire to extinguish it. Economically, the 11 years since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-09 have been one relatively coherent era of modest growth, rising wealth/income inequality and coordinated central bank stimulus every time a crisis threatened to disrupt the domestic or global economy. This era will draw to a close in 2020 and a new era of destabilization and uncertainty begins. Why will all the policies ... more »
