LL at Virtual Mirage - 8 minutes ago
*Kavanaugh* The corrupt, progressive, sly, lying elite media is pushing its minions on every single issue put forward by President Trump. There is no picking battles. Though the supreme court nomination will cost them a lot of political capital that they're bound do lose. It doesn't matter. The Trump Presidency has every possibility of destroying the progressive movement (at the moment, headed by Hillary Clinton). Trump successes, and there are lots of them, sends the message that you don't have to be a politician to achieve big in politics. That's toxic to professional parasites. ... more »

Must A Human Be An Ape?  The Ultimate Problem of Self-Classification

Ethical Technology - 1 hour ago
*How humans came to descend from apes* The Oxford English Dictionaries define ‘human’ in three ways, which are listed in the following order: (1) whatever distinguishes people from God, animals and machines; (2) whenever people behave in a highly desirable fashion; (3) whoever is a member of the genus Homo. These are really quite different definitions. The first has the greatest conceptual clarity, but its clarity is limited to the realm of the conceptual. Making that definition work in practice is diabolical. The second is unclear in both theory and practice. However, it taps into... more »

The separation of migrant families: cruelty as a migration policy

bilaterals.org - 2 hours ago
12-Jul-2018 In an accentuated anti-immigrant context of clear criminalization of Central Americans and Mexicans without migratory documents in their attempt to enter the US, measures on the separation of thousands of families (most of them from Central America) are the new face of the racist nationalism of the American government and its current president. This is framed within the various discriminatory strategies (such as deportations and the expansion of the border wall) with a view to "containing" and "eradicating" irregular migration from the south.

There are dozens of such adults who are saying they’ve had enough. Alas, almost none of them are in the right’s political caste. Mitt Romney – for his own benefit – spent a year trying to get “moderate republicans” like John McCain and Susan Collins and the rest to join in a conference to save their party, the way the Democrats saved theirs in what I call the “M... more »

Where, if the corruption doesn't kill you, the Trump-branded asbestos will. ------------------------------ You thought I was kidding you, didn't you? Sadly, no, I am not. A *Washington Post* article revealed today that Trump-branded asbestos, which you would think would've been long since banned in the US, is making its way to our open shores. Here's the best part, in case Trump's jiggling puss on the Cyrillic-lettered stamp didn't make it obvious by now: It's from Russia. That's right, Uralasbest, which counts Vlad Putin and Donald Trump among its allies ("Donald is on our side... more »

Chet Raymo, "Lessons"

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 8 hours ago
"Lessons" by Chet Raymo "There is a four-line poem by Yeats, called "Gratitude to the Unknown Instructors": "What they undertook to do They brought to pass; All things hang like a drop of dew Upon a blade of grass." Like so many of the short poems of Yeats, it is hard to know what the poet had in mind, who exactly were the unknown instructors, and if unknown how could they instruct. But as I opened my volume of "The Poems" this morning, at random, as in the old days people opened the Bible and pointed a finger at a random passage seeking advice or instruction, this is the poem that... more »

Those Impacted by Colonialism Speak Out on the US’s Legacy of Family Separation

Roberto Rodriguez at Dr Cintli - 9 hours ago
Those crying children, separated from their parents and detained for crossing the US border, are part of the original peoples of this continent. They symbolize all of the children that have been ripped away from their mothers’ arms since the era of colonialism. To be sure, Donald Trump is doing what the US has always done best: destroying and dehumanizing nations and peoples; destroying lives and peddling pseudo-religious-politico providential narratives. However, this time, it is the US itself that is imploding and being slowly destroyed by a would-be dictator and a spineless and co... more »

Sasse v Señor Trumpanzee In Nebraska?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 9 hours ago
*How horrible would this be-- for the country?* Ben Sasse (R-NE) is a lot of hot air when it comes to his criticism of Señor Trumpanzee. He's like a barking toy poodle from Midland Lutheran College in Fremont, Nebraska. For all the heartfelt late night Facebook posts yipping and yapping about Trump's disgustingness, Sasse's Trump adhesion score is 87.7%, quite a bit Trumpier than Rand Paul's, Bob Corker's, Mike Lee's, Lisa Murkowski's, John McCain's, Jeff Flake's or Susan Collin's. Not that that stopped publication of a melodramatic puff piece by Alex Isenstadt in *Politico* yesterd... more »

TRUMP ISN'T FIRING MUELLER, KELLY, OR NATO -- WHY?

Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog - 9 hours ago
President Trump is doing a tremendous amount of damage to U.S. alliances, but as *New York * magazine's Heather Hurlburt notes, he's not doing as much damage as he could: ... NATO was still able to put out a unanimous communique calling on Russia to demonstrate “compliance with international law and its international obligations and responsibilities.” And it started a training program for post-ISIS Iraq. So, no, Trump didn’t destroy the Atlantic Alliance at the summit. He is not going to come home and attempt to withdraw from the treaty that commits the U.S. to the defense of its Eu... more »

Alvogen - This Company Doesn't Want Government Buying Its Drugs

News Staff at Science 2.0 - Physical Sciences - 10 hours ago
In Ely, about 250 north of Las Vegas, Nevada is scheduled to hold its first execution in 12 years. Nothing controversial about that, because in 2002 Scott Dozier murdered Jeremiah Miller after he traveled to Las Vegas where Dozier had promised to help him make methamphetamine. Dozier dumped him in a trash bin, three years later killed at least one other person, and has been on "death row" since 2007. And nothing controversial about Dozier wanting to die rather than spend the rest of his life in prison. read more

Daniel Greenfield on "The Second Civil War"

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 10 hours ago
Daniel Greenfield is a well-known commentator, blogger and author. In a speech to the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention in Myrtle Beach last January, he outlined what he sees as the Second Civil War in the USA - and it's happening already. In the light of the fuss about the nomination of Justice Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court, I thought it might be worthwhile to remind ourselves of the roots of the opposition to his appointment. If you prefer, you'll find a transcript of his speech here. Food for thought, indeed. Peter

“You Hurt People” – What A Holistic Psychiatrist Learned From 87,000 Brain Scans

Yelena Sukhoterina at AltHealthWorks.com - 10 hours ago
There is nothing more alarming than when a young child starts to act up and to show aggression for seemingly no reason. When sudden behavioral changes happen, parents usually get kids into psychotherapy where they get medicated or counseled. But as one psychiatrist reports, the first hurts the patients, and the second does not always work. The cause of aggression, violence, and behavioral, and mental issues do not always come from psychological roots. Sometimes the cause is completely different.

*Reuters:* *Trump calls Germany 'captive' of Russia; demands higher defense spending* BRUSSELS (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump accused Germany on Wednesday of being a “captive” of Russia due to its energy reliance, before a NATO summit where he pressed allies to more than double defense spending. Having lambasted NATO members for failing to reach a target of spending 2 percent of national income on defense, Trump told fellow leaders in Brussels he would prefer a goal of 4 percent, similar to U.S. levels, officials said. That would represent a massive upheaval of budgetar... more »

How far is far-right?

Listening to the Today Programme this morning I heard Ross Hawkins’s alarming vox-pop cameo, which was clearly designed to advance the absurd hypothesis that the threat of violence from the “extreme far-right” is equal to, if not in excess of, the violence (terrorism) motivated by Islamic extremism. While he was at it, he also managed to belittle Sara Khan, who was in the studio talking to Mishal Husain, who conducted this interview in her ‘impatient-schoolmarm’ voice. (No saccharine tones for Sara Khan this morning.) I know full transcriptions can be dull, but since you’re here ... more »
