2 Feb - The View




By going straight to the people, Bernie Sanders is blazing a trail to victory that shatters the myth that corporate centrism and SuperPAC support are the only options.
When I crossed paths with a Democratic campaign consultant in Austin last March, I suggested he come to the local IBEW hall to hear Bernie, adding that the Vermont senator was pondering a run for the presidency.

The fundamental choice facing Republicans starting today in Iowa is whether they want a smaller federal government or a government incapable of governing. Marco Rubio seeks a smaller role for the federal government. Personally, I believe he’s wrong, and that the great challenges of the 21st century – climate change, the risk of nuclear fissile material falling into the hands of global thugs and terrorists, and widening inequality of wealth and power – require a stronger but more responsive government. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, each in his own way, will give us a government incapable of governing. Cruz knows only how to destroy governing institutions; that's been his goal and operating mode his entire political life. Trump knows only how to enhance his own ego, denigrate those who disagree with him, and stir up racism and xenophobia.
What do you think?

They are called the UN Security Council....and they pose disarmament proponents as 'the real danger' as per The NPT TRAP ( see Transcend Media's section ) Nor do we control climate despite claims that proof of incompetence is required to discredit climate scientists. No wonder meteorologists roared with wry laughter.

Why the ethanol fuel mandate is losing traction: it's not helping the environment or climate and raises food costs. The New York Timesreports, it is even losing some support in Iowa, where ethanol is king.
A 2005 mandate requiring oil refiners to blend ethanol into gasoline has been a boondoggle for the rest of the country, and could face a congressional vote on…
