Tipped Workers Are Hit Hardest By Pandemic
*Sarah B. Andrea* *Pandemic, Americas* [image: Reuters] Even before the pandemic, tipped workers were almost twice as likely as untipped ones to live in poverty. Even prior to COVID-19, tipped workers suffered from the inadequacies of the United States’ social safety net and minimum wage standards. The pandemic has exposed not only the inherent vulnerability of food service workers to a public health emergency but also how even government efforts to support them can fail those who rely on tips for some or most of their income.

The Long Good-Bye
Things are moving faster now, much faster. The ongoing, heavy flooding in China has wiped out a large percentage of Chinese agricultural production this year. Additionally, there has been heavy flooding in many other countries, notably in India. The recent damaging weather in the Mid-West of the USSA has also ruined millions of acres of productive cropland. The upshot of all of this is that global food production has suffered enormous setbacks in recent weeks and months. The large drop in food production, coupled with the major hit to national economies occasioned by the Covid-19 ... more »

There is No Magic Wand for Prosperity
Liberty and free markets are not the magic wand, a wave of which will make a nation prosperous; there are several nations in which there is hardly any economic regulation, primarily because their economy is too meager to be worth regulating—these nations are the world’s most backward places where people live in hellholes inflicted with poverty, disease, and crime. A nation might have liberty and free markets, but the people will not be able to take advantage of these values if they are lacking in intelligence, honesty, knowledge, moral principles, ambition to excel, and work ethic.
Is Anthony Fauci M.D. guilty of medical malpractice?

No, Diversity Pledges Won't End Bias in the Workplace
*Kimberly A. Houser* *Society, Americas* Here's what will. Dozens of companies, from Apple to Zappos, have reacted to George Floyd’s killing and the protests that followed by pledging to make their workforces more diverse. While commendable, to me it feels a bit like deja vu. Back in 2014, a host of tech companies made similar commitments to diversify their ranks. Their latest reports – which they release annually – show they’ve made little progress. Why have their efforts largely failed? Were they just empty promises? As a gender diversity scholar, I explored these questions i... more »
North Korea Isn't China's 'Junkyard Dog'
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Asia* The full extent of Chinese-North Korean relations paints a more complex picture than a simple story of one-sided control, revealing a surprising degree of interdependence in places where it may be least expected. North Korea is sometimes described as China’s ‘junkyard dog’-- a militarist suzerainty that exists in part or in whole to enact the will of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It’s a tempting proposition, attractive for the elegant simplicity with which it answers one of the underlying questions surrounding North Korea (DPRK): namely, how... more »

Community-Based Farms Rise To The Occasion As Big Food Supply Chains Stall
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed deep craters in the U.S. food supply chain. Dairies that supply milk and food products to restaurants have had the heartbreaking task of dumping millions of gallons of milk. Many giant meat processing plants had to close down because their workers were getting infected by the virus. The shutting down of these plants resulted in millions of farm animals being “culled” by drowning, shooting and suffocating. The meat processing plants were ordered to reopen when the administration declared that it is essential to maintain the meat supply in late Apri... more »

*"When They Sleep"* "All people are children when they sleep. There's no war in them then. They open their hands and breathe in that quiet rhythm heaven has given them. They pucker their lips like small children and open their hands halfway, soldiers and statesmen, servants and masters. The stars stand guard and a haze veils the sky, a few hours when no one will do anybody harm. If only we could speak to one another then when our hearts are half-open flowers. Words like golden bees would drift in. God, teach me the language of sleep." - Rolf Jacobsen, "The Roads Have Come to an End Now"

Elections and Train Bombings
by William Kilpatrick | Jul 20, 2020 You’ve probably seen Ami Horowitz doing one of his “man-on-the-street” interviews on television. In a recent one, he asked passersby to sign a petition to take down a statue of Washington because “he was a slave owner.” All were happy to sign. He then asked them to … Continue reading Elections and Train Bombings →
Dozing Bishops Meet the Religion of Woke
by William Kilpatrick | Jul 28, 2020 In case you hadn’t noticed, a new fundamentalist religion has been born in the streets of America. It’s the religion of Woke—the religion of people who believe they have been given a special revelation about the nature of society. They have discovered that American society is irredeemably … Continue reading Dozing Bishops Meet the Religion of Woke →

Foreign Correspondent: Is Kamala Harris A Hawk? Biden’s Veep Pick Has At Times Embraced Militarism And Even Attacked Trump From The Right
*The Challengers by Nancy Ohanian* *-by Reese Erlich* Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin hasn’t forgotten a 2017 meeting with members of Senator Kamala Harris’s staff to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Israeli land and sea blockade was causing massive unemployment as well as shortages of food and electricity. Benjamin and other progressive activists wanted the Senator to criticize Israel’s policies and end the siege. “You could just see the blank stares from her aides as we spoke,” Benjamin recalls in a phone interview from Washington, D.C. “They argued that Israel ... more »

Millie Weaver, known online as "Millennial Millie," was mysteriously arrested, along with her husband, on a reported grand jury indictment and held in jail over the weekend, just before she was scheduled to release her new film, ShadowGate.

The film is based on the testimony of two high-tech whistleblowers, who claim they worked for private contractors that worked together with intelligence agencies and... more »

Slavery unfolding under our very eyes
Governmental brutality in Europe. ____________ Slavery unfolding under our very eyes Frederick Wisse The US is quite reasonable with fining only 20 dollars per person. Here in Europe governments are fining the hell out of their citizens. For instance in Holland the official fine for not keeping a distance of 1.5 meters (5 ft) is ...

ICE Is Fighting a Losing Battle Against Illegal Immigrants: Last Year's Raids In Mississippi Show It
*Alex Nowrasteh* *Politics, Americas* [image: Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) look on after executing search warrants and making some arrests at an agricultural processing facility in Canton, Mississippi, U.S. in this August 7, 2019 hando] E‐Verify doesn’t work well.

Here's What Must Change to Keep Asia's Rise Peaceful
*Parag Khanna* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The biggest risk of conflict in the twenty-first century stems from not settling the conflicts of the twentieth century. Can Asians embrace a cartographic pragmatism similar to what they have achieved in the economic and social spheres? AS THE coronavirus roiled global economies and fractured relations among major powers, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for the five permanent members of the Security Council to declare a global ceasefire to calm conflict zones such as Syria and Yemen. But geopolitics does not stop ... more »
Can America Remember What It Takes to Survive as a Democracy?
*Anatol Lieven* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The American Creed, and the civic nationalism of which it is the foundation, have been the essential glues that have held a wildly diverse country together. Without the Creed, America risks becoming something like the Habsburg Empire without the Habsburgs. AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM is in an exceptionally parlous condition. The Right declares with metronomic regularity that America is exceptionally good; the Left that it is exceptionally bad. Neither side makes much of a pretense at serious historical study or international compa... more »
Diego Garcia Is America’s Next Overseas Challenge
*Mark Rosen* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Allowing a sovereignty dispute to fester will create a natural opening for Beijing to claim that the United States and the UK are acting inconsistently with universal norms favoring decolonization and self-determination and, perhaps, insinuate themselves economically or politically into Mauritius. The U.S. Department of Defense is at the horns of a dilemma when it comes to its strategic base at Diego Garcia (DGAR) in the Indian Ocean. Experts in military logistics and in the deployment of U.S. forces will tell you that DGAR is a... more »
How the Coronavirus Exposed the Flaws in America’s Security Strategy
*John Arquilla, Nancy Roberts* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] It is high time to think in terms of realigning—even redesigning—American grand strategy. U.S. unpreparedness to meet the kind of predictable threat that COVID-19 presented has revealed a serious gap in our grand strategic thinking with regard to the social dimension. LOOK AROUND. Something has gone terribly awry. Even before the mass disruption caused by COVID-19, the United States was in trouble. Its costly military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq have faltered, the “liberation” of Libya has resulted in ... more »

Protect The Vote And End Privatization Of The Postal Service
As we were warned earlier in the year, the US Postal Service is failing due to a long term effort to weaken it plus the confluence of the COVID-19 pandemic, recession and intentional efforts by the Trump administration to suppress the vote. Members of Congress and state leaders are starting to take notice because of the magnitude of the crisis and public outcry, particularly over valid concerns that mail-in voting will be disrupted. Now is the time to not only protect the vote but to use this moment to end privatization and selling off of the US Postal Service and expand it as a c... more »
The UAE Deal Is Really About Opposition To Iran
The “historic” agreement for normalization of ties between the United Arab Emirates and Israel is being presented as a noble effort by the Gulf Arab states to fend off further annexation of Palestinian land. That facade was quickly eroded when Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu said his annexation plans were only “on hold” and not derailed, as the UAE had claimed in announcing the purported accord mediated this week by the Trump administration. The terse Palestinian reaction to the supposed deal got it right. It was “a stab in the back.” Iran and Turkey also denounced it as a sell... more »
Antifa got more than they bargained for at Sturgis
As the commentator says at the end — the ONLY reason the Antifa were able to walk away was the enforcement who protected and walked them out of the area. Bikers don’t play when someone touches their bikes or disrespects them. There one a tall guy in the Antifa line with pink punk hair. He makes the mistake of kicking one of the bikes. OOOPs This is what needs to happen every time Antifa shows up….citizens need to band together and force them to retreat. Unfortunately you have idiots in office that encourage this — Portland and Seattle as well … Continue reading →

By Paul Homewood h/t Colin Harris Is this some sort of joke???
