The Battle For The Libyan City Of Sirte Enters The Final Phase
*DW:* *Libyan forces in final push to dislodge 'Islamic State' from Sirte* Pro-government forces have said they are in a "final battle" against the "Islamic State" in its stronghold of Sirte. A three month fight to retake the city has been slowed by IS snipers, suicide bombers and booby traps.

Iran Deploys Its S-300 Missile Defense System To Its Key Nuclear Facilities
*AFP*: *Iran deploys long-range missiles to Fordo nuclear site* Tehran (AFP) - Tehran has deployed a recently delivered Russian-made long-range missile system to central Iran to protect its Fordo nuclear facility, state television said Sunday. Protecting nuclear facilities is paramount "in all circumstances" General Farzad Esmaili, the commander of Iran's air defences, told the IRIB channel. "Today, Iran's sky is one of the most secure in the region," he added. A video showed an S-300 carrier truck in Fordo, raising its missile launchers toward the sky, next to other counter-strik... more »
Are you drinking enough?

Why the Establishment Doesn't Get Corbynism
Spare a thought for the poor hacks paid to write about the Labour Party. Your job is to throw down boiler plate with a semi-original angle, while making a conscious effort not think about it unless you're employed for that express purpose. Making matters trickier is that last year's silly season saw every seam strip mined to throw dirt at Jeremy Corbyn. With little else left to be excavated we see a churn of pretty much the same stuff. This then has led to the new journalistic sub-genre of the anti-Corbyn missive, and their recycled insights come in two flavours. The first are atta... more »

They know that's going to happen and they know he's doing to pull down a number of Republican elected officials with him.

Instead, natural factors or internal variability override the detection of an anthropogenic signal and may instead largely explain the patterns in sea level rise in large regions of the global oceans.

Burkini Divestment and Sanctimony
I think it’s fair to say that the subject of the French burkini ban and subsequent un-ban has been exhausted; but the melody lingers on. The ban had to go. It put the French police in the ridiculous position of having to publicly order a burkina-wearing Muslima who was innocently lying on the beach - sunbathing? - to take her top off, (while being filmed). The whole scenario looked so unnatural - but so do millions of other things these days - that the consensus seems to be that this particular incident was staged. Over the past few days the online commentariat have said everything... more »

The Trumpanzee Doesn't Deserve Any Working Class Votes-- But Do The Clintonians Really Even Care?
My interest in the post-Bernie presidential election season is tempered by my dislike of both candidates left standing. Trump as a human being isn't even worth considering and Hillary is too much of a classic Republican to ever be my cup a tea. What does keep me interested however, is the fundamental partisan realignment that is ripping apart FDR's New Deal coalition. It's the premise of Thomas Frank's new book, Listen, Liberal: Or, What Ever Happened To The Party Of The People? and accounts for Trump's seemingly unlikely inroads among the whole working class. Friday, the Teamste... more »

Sicilian Mafia Bosses Declare War On Islam

Facebook overhauls Trending feature after bias claims per BBC News
This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-37205029 is fascinating for the lack of investigation they have performed or detail reported. 'Social media giant Facebook has overhauled the Trending feature on its site to make posts more automated after claims of left-wing bias.' If there had been claims of right wing bias then the BBC would have investigated the claims, listed some examples and have been outraged. But as it's bias towards the left, towards the BBC's politics, then the BBC are not bothered.
