BREAKING! Should Donald J. Trump have been impeached?

<b>bob somerby</b>, the daily howler - 11 hours ago

*SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2021* *Removed? Tried/convicted? Disqualified?:* Should Donald J. Trump have been impeached this second time around? We're forced to admit we're not sure. Once you're "in blood stepped in so far," there's no good way to get out or wade o'er. It may be that the instant impeachment kept our disordered commander-in-chief from engaging in even crazier conduct as January 20 drew near. To cite one example, he didn't try to start a foreign war. For that we should be grateful. That said, once he had departed the White House, should we have proceeded with the Sen...

Living Under the Spectre of Hyperinflation: 1923 Weimar and Today

Matthew Ehret, The Duran - 11 hours ago

In a recent report, I discussed why the current financial system is on the verge of a 1923-Weimar style hyperinflation driven by Federal Reserve bailouts trying desperately to support a deleveraging of the $1200 trillion derivatives bubble that has taken over the western banking system. I also discussed the Bank of England-led “solution” currently to this […]

Why It Is Now Nearly Impossible To Own a Machine Gun

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 11 hours ago

*Peter Suciu* *Guns, * Unless the buyer is a Class III gun dealer or law enforcement, it is also impossible to buy a “new machine gun.” Despite some common misconception on the legality of “machine guns” and other automatic weapons, in thirty-seven U.S. states, it is legal to own such firearms that are highly restricted under the National Firearms Act of 1934. In other words, if you live in one of those states, you can in fact buy a machine gun. It isn’t as easy as going down to the local gun shop, however. These weapons are actually rather uncommon and considerably expensive. B...

Nuclear 'Guns': How Russia Planned To Destroy NATO?

Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 11 hours ago

*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Why did the Soviet Union produce these massive white elephants? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Soviets would continue developing tactical nukes for use in artillery, but later shells utilized miniaturized warheads that allowed nukes to fit in compact projectiles in the Soviet-standard 152mm and 203mm calibers. Likewise, the United States also made nuclear shells in the 155mm and 203mm calibers after abandoning the 260mm M65 cannon. In the 1950s, both NATO and Warsaw Pact doctrine focused on the employment of tactical nuclear weapons. Truly str...

America’s Best (and Old) Fighter Jets Aren’t Going Anywhere

Biden’s Health Plan Shifts Even More Public Dollars Into Private Hands

As the American Rescue Plan (ARP) winds its way through Congress, some progressives are hailing its health provisions as the greatest expansion of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 10 years, while conservatives are claiming that it is a slippery slope to a national Medicare for All system.

This has Republicans worried the legislation will be used to advance the progre...

Biden’s First Month Marked By Broken Promises

Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago

One month into his presidential career and Joe Biden has already left a trail of broken promises on progressive legislation. Yesterday, it was reported that the president held a closed-door meeting with a group of mayors and governors. At the first sign of pushback from Republicans in the room, he immediately dropped his support for the $15 minimum wage on the basis that he needed bipartisan support to pass it. Given that Democrats control the House, Senate, and the White House, this position seems surprising. “I really want this in there but it just doesn’t look like we can do it...

In 1911, a young Ho Chi Minh (1890-1969) arrived in France, which had colonised his homeland of Vietnam. Though he had been raised with a patriotic spirit committed to anti-colonialism, Ho Chi Minh’s temperament did not allow him to retreat into a backward-looking romanticism. He understood that the people of Vietnam needed to draw from their own history and traditions as well as from the democratic currents set loose by the revolutionary movements around the world. In France, he became involved in the socialist movement, which taught him about working-class struggles in Europe, a...

What Isn’t In Judas And The Black Messiah Is Just As Important As What Is

The coronavirus crisis in South Africa is far from over despite falling case numbers in recent weeks.

Report: Young People In The United States Are Overrun With Student Debt

Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago

Young Americans are overrun with student debt. This crisis is the culmination of waning government funding for higher education, wage stagnation, wealth inequality, and a misleading emphasis on obtaining high credentials—all leading to the financial gap between college prices and later earnings. In 2020, aggregate balances reached $1.66 trillion in 2019 dollars, 122% higher in real dollars than in 2010. Not surprisingly, the number of borrowers, the amount they owe, and the number of loans each borrower acquires, have all increased over the time period. In 2019, 18-35 year-olds wi...
