Democrats Continue To Lie, Subvert, and Scare America and Americans (as usual).

Want To See The Last Of Susan Collins? Help Betsy Sweet Win Maine's Senate Primary June 9
Just as he's done in Colorado, North Carolina, Arizona, New Mexico, etc, Brooklyn's Chuck Schumer has decided to choose who Maine's U.S. Senate nominee for the Susan Collins seat will be. This is bad on enough the face, but Schumer almost always gets it wrong. He picks losers and Republicans win seats-- the way Marco Rubio did in Florida when he wrecked Alan Grayson's campaign. And when he does manage to come up with someone who can win, they always turn out to be the worst members of the Senate, like Kyrsten Sinema and Jackie Rosen.

5 Pandemic Movies That You Might Not Want To Stream This Weekend
*James Jay Carafano* *Culture, * Expert: Every pandemic movie ever made has precisely zero educational value. Virtually every medical fact presented on the silver screen falls somewhere in the range from “ridiculous” to “irresponsible.” Netflix reports an uptick of interest in plague movies.

Extended Range Paladin Cannon Can Smite Foes Over 40 Miles Away (And That’s Not Counting the Ramjets)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The next U.S. Military super weapon? On March 6, a hulking armored howitzer prototype stood motionless in the desert of the Yuma Proving Grounds of Arizona, its outsized cannon barrel angled steeply upward. Abruptly, the 29-foot-long gun kicked into action, rocking the over 31-ton vehicle back on its tracks as it spits out a 155-millimeter shell. Forty miles away—and likely well over a minute later—the 106-pound shell came plunging down just a few meters besides an inoffensive SUV, the erupting shrapnel and overpressure wave from its high explosiv... more »

BigPharma’s Role: U.S. Sanctions Lead To Global Rise In Coronavirus
The responsibility of U.S. corporate power, especially the medical-industrial complex, in the calculated destruction of basic health care capacity in the U.S. and worldwide must be challenged. On a global scale, the connection of the largest U.S. pharmaceutical corporations to U.S. sanctions policies — whether signed by executive order, voted for in the U.S. Congress or pushed by U.S. ambassadors through the United Nations Security Council — demands careful scrutiny by investigative journalists, human rights organizations and working-class organizations.

Coronavirus, Economic Networks, And Social Fabric
The COVID-19 pandemic offers intriguing insights into how networked our modern world has become, and how we’ve traded resilience for economic efficiency. Case in point: someone gets sick in China in December of 2019, and by March of 2020 the US shale oil industry is teetering on the brink. What set off this unraveling? It was China’s deliberate—and arguably necessary—pull-back from economic connectivity. This tells us something useful about networked systems: unless there is a lot of redundancy built into them, any one node in the network can affect others. If it’s an important node... more »
Team Trump Failed To Bully ICC Into Dropping War Crimes Probe

Corona Virus And The Digital Divide
It is not lost on some that, all of a sudden, paid sick leave is obviously socially important; understaffed hospitals are an outrage; and, really, shouldn’t the government be paying for this…?

Racial Inequities In New York Parole Supervision
The scope and conditions of parole supervision in New York have profound impacts for people serving supervision sentences. New York sends more people back to prison for non-criminal, technical parole violations than any state except Illinois, and people detained for alleged non-criminal parole rule violations comprise the only population growing in New York City jails, threatening plans to close the notorious Rikers Island jails complex. This report highlights ways in which these harmful impacts disproportionately fall on Black and brown communities. The authors find that Black and ... more »

They can redesign any political process or institution, pass new laws, impose new restrictions. The crisis has turned them into the god of the political system, the savior of the people,... more »

"It Must Be Borne In Mind..."
“It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is a sin.” - Benjamin E.

The Poet: Charles Bukowski"Mind and Heart"
*"Mind and Heart"* "Unaccountably we are alone, forever alone, and it was meant to be that way, it was never meant to be any other way - and when the death struggle begins the last thing I wish to see is a ring of human faces hovering over me - better just my old friends, the walls of my self, let only them be there.

I have satisfied my thirst at the well of my self and that wine was good, the best I ever had, and tonight, sitting, staring into the dark I now finally understand the dark and the light and everything in between. Peace of mind and heart... more »

"There Is An Unseen Life..."
"It seems to have had an order, to have been composed by someone, and those events that were merely accidental when they happened turn out to be the main elements in a consistent plot. Who composed this plot? Just as your dreams are composed, so your whole life has been composed by the will within you. Just as the people who you met by chance became effective agents in the structuring of your life, so you have been the agent in the structuring of other lives. And the whole thing gears together like one big symphony, everything influencing and structuring everything else. It's as th... more »
