Is The US Intelligence Assessment That Says Russia Helped Trump Win In 2016 About To Be Reversed?
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 5 minutes ago
*Just The News:* *Next declassification could flip Russia collusion script, point to effort to hurt Trump* Former NSC official says some evidence cut against claim Russia was helping Trump. The Trump administration is preparing one of its biggest declassifications yet in the Russia case, a super-secret document that could flip the collusion theory on its head four years after the FBI first started its investigation. Multiple officials familiar with the planned declassification, which could happen as early as this week, told Just the News that the new evidence will raise the spect...
Trump's Scheme To Sell Off Millions Of Acres Of Public Lands Just Came To A Screeching Halt
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 11 minutes ago
*Pendley looks like a crook because he is a crook* Trump has the luxury of a spineless, knee-jerk Republican Senate run by #MoscowMitch, a Senate that has shown that it is willing to confirm a steaming pile of stinking crap if Trump sets one down in front of it... Donald even has some Democraps-- like Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin-- willing to go along for the ride. But some of his nominations-- the undeniable cutthroats and thieves who are beyond just unqualified but who are being put in place to destroy and upend decades of bipartisan policy... well, some of those have even ...

Tritto: “everything in China is dual-use technology” civilian/military
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 2 hours ago
8-16-20 Tritto meticulously documents the process whereby an effort to develop a SARS vaccine, using the technique of reverse genetics, took a dark turn. Reverse genetics is used to create viral strains that have reduced pathogenicity but to which the immune system responds by creating antibodies against the virus. Only, reverse genetics can also be used to create viral strains that have increased pathogenicity. And that is exactly what was encouraged once the Chinese military got involved. As a bonus, genomes from HIV were added to the new virus to make it even more nasty. As r...

Why China Is Rooting for Joe Biden
George Satterfield, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*George Satterfield* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] From the author: Neither Trump nor Biden can arrest the growing global disarray caused by the rise of regional great powers, they can only hope to manage it. The multipolar world in all of its complexity is here to stay. The crucial difference between the two candidates is in how to respond to China. In this instance, a Biden victory may unfortunately lead the U.S. further into the depths of economic dependence on Beijing rather than gaining much-needed freedom of maneuver. Need another reason why the coming presidential...
Trump Paid Nearly Nothing in Taxes. How High Should Taxes Be on the Rich?
Pieter Vanhuysse, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Pieter Vanhuysse* *Society, Americas* A new study shows that voters back lower tax rates only for income earned on merit. As the US presidential election debates approach, how much to tax the rich will be one of many areas of disagreement between the two candidates. Donald Trump introduced sweeping tax cuts in 2018 that included a tax reduction for the wealthiest Americans. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has proposed tax increases for those earning more than US$400,000. Now Trump’s own tax returns have become a focus of the election campaign after the New York Times reported he had paid ...

On The Gayatri Mantra
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 hour ago
The Gayatri Mantra occurs in the early section of the *Rigveda *(Mandala 3.62.10); so it must have been composed between 900 B.C. and 1200 B.C. This means that the hymn is more than 3000 years old, but it’s revered by the Hindus as a pious way of starting and ending their day—everyday millions of people recite it at sunrise and sunset; many are convinced that this hymn represents the essence of the *Vedas*. It’s not clear why the Gayatri Mantra continues to be so popular; this is the only hymn in the world whose recitation has been widespread for more than 3000 years: *ॐ भूर् भुव...

Selling Ourselves For Safety: A Look At the Migration Industrial Complex
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 1 hour ago
The climate crisis, wars, violent states and economic crashes are driving migration around the world and in this capitalist global environment, it is no surprise that a profiteering industrial complex has evolved. I speak with Siobhan McGuirk and Adrienne Pine, co-authors of "Asylum for Sale: Profit and protest in the migration industry," about the ways capitalism both drives migration and benefits from it. They discuss who has the resources to migrate, the problem with how asylum-seeking is framed in the public discourse and courts and the diverse international resistance that is...

Personally, if I had to listen to that voice all the time I'd probably cold cock her too or shoot myself. Okay - that was unnecessary snark, but I'm standing by my statement. At 1:59 a cop approaches the house where Parscale is sitting after they called him on the phone and requested he come out. Parscale gets up, walks toward the cop, and starts to calmly give his side of the story. A few seconds later 2 cops spring out from behind the pickup,...

OPTrust's CEO on Why Healthy Pensions Matter
Leo Kolivakis, Pension Pulse - 57 minutes ago
Peter Lindley, President and CEO of OPTrust, recently shared his insights on retirement security and why defined benefit pension plans are the best at providing it: Every day, 1,000 people retire in Canada. As that number continues to grow, ensuring that Canadians can retire with security and stable incomes has never been more important.

About This Whole Tax Thing.....
Diogenes Sarcastica™, Diogenes' Middle Finger - 3 hours ago
It's unamerican to use the phrase "get away with" as the self-righteous Senator Spartacus Booker *tweeted this morning* in reference to DJT's use of Tax law. It's like accusing me of speeding when I'm going 75 in a 75 mph zone. I'm not "getting away with" it. I'm going the speed limit! Change the speed limit if that's the wrong top speed. Crimes are the things that have been defined as crimes. It's particularly irksome for a legislator to talk like that, shifting the blame for the legislature's own failures. And I find it very interesting that the *NYT*, strongly motivated to fin...

Where in the World Will the Next Epidemic Start?
Naomi Forrester-Soto, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Naomi Forrester-Soto* *Coronavirus, World* Viruses have passed from animals to humans throughout history, and will continue to do so. Viruses jumping from animals to humans have been the starting point of numerous outbreaks, from Ebola to Zika. Given the similarity of SARS-CoV-2 to coronaviruses found in bats, this probably marked the beginning of COVID-19 too. We know that viruses have passed from animals to humans throughout history, and will continue to do so.

jurassicpork, Welcome Back to Gotham City - 5 hours ago
I'll just begin this post right now by stating that the only thing the Republican Party and I have in common these days is that I, too, have no use for most political correctness. This especially applies to Republican scum who beat their wives, draw guns on them and endanger the community. And I don't care very much if Candice Parscale is a dyed-in-the-wool Trump Republican. No woman deserves to get beaten by her husband to the point where when she calls 911 on him, she has bruises all over her body and face. I feel horrible for that poor woman.

IVANKA: DAUGHTER? EMPLOYEE? CONSULTANT? VICE PRESIDENT?
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 5 hours ago
This isn't particularly surprising: As Donald Trump’s top campaign aides began a discussion in June 2016 about who the presumptive Republican presidential nominee should select as his running mate, the candidate piped up with an idea. “I think it should be Ivanka.

In Gates’s telling, Trump’s suggestion of naming to the ticket his then-34-year-old daughter ... was no passing fancy. Instead, he brought up the idea repe...
