Macedonia to George Soros and USAID: Go Away

Victor Gaetan at 58 minutes ago
[image: undefined] Small but mighty Macedonia is the mouse that roared this year, declaring war on George Soros, 86, and his US Government handmaidens, who, incredibly, have financed a left-wing agenda to divide the nation and bring a socialist-Muslim coalition to power. It was the kind of Obama Administration manipulation that was so routine that it passed unnoticed in 2012, when USAID/Skopje selected Soros’ Foundation Open Society Macedonia (FOSM) to manage $2.5 million in taxpayer dollars earmarked for oxymoronic “democracy building,” an amount increased to $4.8 million two year... more »

The Fundamental Issue in Climate Science Resolved

Alan Carlin at Carlin Economics and Science - 1 hour ago
It has been a long time in coming, but we can now say with some confidence what the answer is to the most important question in climate science. As is all too well known, the climate alarmists have one fairly uniform answer, which they claim is part of their “consensus.” Climate skeptics, on the other […]

Yes, There Was Collusion, But How Far Up The Chain Did It Go? To Trump?

Adam Schiff is very focused on Putin-Gate and when he was on *Meet the Press* the other day, he told Chuck Todd that "There is more than circumstantial evidence now... and is very much worthy of investigation."

THE GOP'S PLAN B WOULD FAIL, TOO

Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog - 2 hours ago
We had a big win today, but Joan Walsh expresses a fear that a lot of people share: It’s unlikely the GOP will return to health-care-reform legislation this year. (“It’s enough already,” Trump told a reporter Friday afternoon.) That doesn’t mean the fight over Obamacare will wind down, necessarily, but that it will move into the shadows. The Republican plan now, Trump told reporters, is to wait for Obamacare to “explode.” Similarly, Ryan predicted, “The worst is yet to come with Obamacare.” In all likelihood, what that means is that the GOP will now occupy itself with sabotaging the... more »

Grannies Against THAAD in South Korea

On March 18 elderly residents of Soseong-ri, South Korea (a village in Seongju County just 2 miles from the deployment site) joined the national peace march of more than 5,000 people against THAAD (Theatre High Altitude Area Defense). Leaning on walkers, they marched with high spirits, held up big picket signs and chanted, “Illegal THAAD, back to the U.S! THAAD, go away! Come Peace!” These people who live near the THAAD deployment site are mostly melon farmers who used to be 85% in favor of the right-wing ruling government.

Of course, we are not the only creatures that build on a scale that dwarfs the builders. Tiny coral polyps built the 1,250-mile-long Great Barrier Reef.

Taiwan News Latest: Taiwan, the once and future Austronesian Ocean State

Michael Turton at The View from Taiwan - 3 hours ago
*Boats on Lanyu* I was inspired by the discovery of what might be the skeletons of African slaves in the Spanish cemetery in Keelung. Relecting on Taiwan's diverse ethnic roots, I noted in my latest Taiwan News piece: I often reflect on these facts when I read some reporter describing the people of Taiwan as “ethnic Chinese” or when people refer to themselves as having "Taiwanese blood." These ideas are vapid political constructs whose intent is overtly nationalistic: to claim a people is “ethnic Chinese” is to veer dangerously close to arguing that Beijing should be annexing them.... more »

But the government put in a letter in the NYTimes pleading for the US not to sell out Taiwan for an agreement with China on N Korea. Some sort of agreement of this nature is always mooted whenever there is trouble with N Korea.
