Defend U.S. Sovereignty Against the Blair Doctrine of Permanent War

Alicia at LaRouchePAC Feed - 16 hours ago
Defend U.S. Sovereignty Against the Blair Doctrine of Permanent War Video of Defend U.S. Sovereignty Against the Blair Doctrine of Permanent War What is the goal of the ongoing destabilization of the United States? Our nation's enemies are supporters of an imperial "globalist" doctrine, which gives supranational institutions control over nation states. The end of sovereignty was a project of Britain's Tony Blair, whose "intelligence" findings were used to justify regime change wars. Trump has pledged to end these wars, but his efforts have been blunted by Russiagate, which was con... more »

Good News: California Gets A New Senator

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
Yeah, Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate. It was probably the smart political move-- certainly better than Susan Rice, who he really wanted. Everyone seems to like the idea. Obama, who probably had a lot of influence on this choice, said "Joe Biden nailed this decision." David Axelrod coined a new word: "Kamalat." I can't imagine there is one Democratic Party careerist who isn't saying something positive, effusive, supportive. I'm not a Democratic Party careerist so let me just say I never voted for her when she ran for anything here in California and I'll be happy to ... more »

Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to new numbers revealing an estimated 27% of adults in the U.S. missed their rent or mortgage payment for July and the eviction of an elderly woman with Coronavirus who was recently released from the hospital. There will be much more of this in the months ahead. This is what dog-eat-dog capitalist culture gives us. No humanity left in this country. No sharing hearts. No concern for the sick and the elderly. No concern for the poor. This makes me furious and heart sick. Thanks to Krystal and Saagar for speaking out. Bruce

Falling crime rates? Not so fast . . .

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 16 hours ago
We've spoken before in these pages about how bureaucrats "fudge" statistics to present the most favorable image to the public. It's long been the practice in many cities to either not record, or mis-classify, violent crimes, in order to allow local politicians to boast that they're being "tough on crime" and point to the statistics as evidence that they're doing a good job. Of course, the reality is the diametric opposite. City crime, particularly inner-city crime, is way up across the country, and getting worse. Therefore - inevitably - the efforts to mask that are getting more... more »

This Iranian Tank Is Waging War Across the Middle East

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 16 hours ago

Positive self-talk from the 1600s

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 16 hours ago
Sometimes I think positive self-talk is a fad from the pop psych of the 20th century, but today I read some advice from Saint Jane Frances de Chantel who died in 1641. She founded the Order of the Visitation for women who did not have the stamina for the life of the traditional orders. These women had been rejected for poor health or old age by other orders. I haven't yet looked up her writings, but found this one as "Meditation of the Day," August 12, 2019, Magnificat, vol 21, no. 6. "No matter what happens, be gentle and patient with yourself.
