"It Would Be So Much Easier..."
"It would be so much easier just to fold our hands and not make this fight... to say, I, one man, I can do nothing. I grow afraid only when I see people thinking and acting like this. We all know the story about the man who sat beside the trail too long, and then it grew over and he could never find his way again. We can never forget what has happened, but we cannot go back nor can we just sit beside the trail". - Poundmaker, Plains Cree Chief 1842-1886. His dying words.

In praise of idle politicians #PartTimePM
There's a meme going around attacking the PM because she's a #PartTimePM. Not building state houses. Not building govt roads. Not passing new laws. Not *delivering*. As if the memesters *want* what she'd be delivering! Dumb. Because when she has "done" something that's been attacked too: anti-gun laws, anti-landlord laws, anti-property deals.

Middle East Peace Plan – is peace on the horizon or a pipe dream
IT’S ALL ACCORDING TO THE PERSON SPEAKING Donald Trump unveiled a two-state peace vision of a solution for the Middle East today. It is not the first efforts nor will it be the last to solve the conundrum in the Middle East in relation to Palestine and Israel. He declared it a “win-win” opportunity for both Israel and the Palestinians. Netanyahu was quite emotional over what he felt both addressed longstanding Israeli demands as well as providing some means for Palestine to have their own lands and authority as well as to bring an end to the years long discord. … Continue reading →

Trump’s “Deal of the Century” is outright apartheid
US President Donald Trump's "Deal of the Century" is greeted with cynicism by Palestinians, and delight by Israel's most extreme illegal settlers. The Trump peace plan gives Israelis the illusion of security while in reality trapping them within an unstable regime based on racial oppression. It gravely violates the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people and very likely constitutes a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute (1998). The Trump peace plan is nothing less than Apartheid. The post Trump’s “Deal of the Century” is outright apartheid appeared first on If America... more »

*Harry J. Kazianis* *Technology, * What would you choose? What service offers the best value? Here are my picks. Having worked in the past for the cable industry for over a decade, here is a state I never thought I would see: the number of cord-cutters (people who have canceled cable TV) and cord-nevers (people have never had cable TV) will cross over forty million by next year. That’s a pretty amazing stat, clearly due in large part due to the lower costs and amazing content now available on streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and many others.

"Coronavirus Is The Black Swan Markets Have Feared"
*"Coronavirus Is The Black Swan Markets Have Feared"* by Chris Martenson "The coronavirus has all the hallmarks of a true Black Swan event. In addition to presenting a major public health risk, the coronavirus is already doing serious economic damage. China, the world's second-largest economy, is essentially "closed for business" right now. The disruption to global trade the coronavirus is likely to cause is going to be material, perhaps severe. And that will have serious negative consequences for the financial markets, which have been (and is still!) trading at the highest valuatio... more »

A Middle-Class Tax Cut: Is Trump Really Serious?

It may just be a campaign ploy, as many described the 2012 announcement of middle-class tax cuts made by then-President Obama as that year’s election approached.

State v state argument heading to Supreme Court over Trump syndrome issue
Can an argument between states head directly to the Supreme Court and bypass the lower courts?

How is it possible that California can't provide a record of what it's spent???
This simply boggles my mind. Bold, underlined text is my emphasis. Just a few of the serious financial problems facing California include unfunded public employee pension promises, a potential state credit downgrade, an unprecedented homeless crisis, and a net out-migration of 912,000 residents since 2010. One easy step California can take is to join every other state in the union and open up its state checkbook for review. Allowing citizens, journalists, watchdogs, academics, and public policy experts to review state spending would help the state get its fiscal house in order. U... more »
