The Worst Prime Minister?

Was Theresa May the worst Prime Minister this country has ever seen? She's up against stiff competition, from both her immediate predecessor and the utter void following her. Whatever verdict history decrees, her record in government is almost singularly awful.

A fair few words have been expended on May on this place, so I won't try your patience by saying much more. Except to reiterate two things about her legacy, both ... more »

When the overreaching heavy hand of the government leads to even one instance of injustice, a little bit of liberty is lost for all citizens.

During a hearing, that lasted more than six hours, little to no evidence was presented that indicated either parent, of the 4-year-old b... more »

Matt Gaetz Puts Mueller's Nads In a Vise

Diogenes Sarcastica™ at Diogenes' Middle Finger - 12 hours ago
Much like Hollywood’s sad attempts to monetize on our fond memories from the past, and since liberalism is created in a Hollywood basement, the Russiagate revival tour happening with Mueller’s testimony before Congress today has the trappings to the sequel nobody wanted to a movie we all regret, like the Deuce Bigelow: European gigolo of politics. Democrats hope to revive the dead conspiracy of Russian collusion and a stolen election that brought us moments like the women’s march or Rashida Tlaib’s profanity laden calls for impeachment. With the struggling Democrat party failing ... more »

Ukraine On The Cusp Of Change

M. K. BHADRAKUMAR at OrientalReview.org - 12 hours ago
Zelensky’s projection of himself as a president for peace echoes the deep yearning of a big majority of Ukrainians for an end to the war in Donbas. He seems willing to make concessions, such as a measure of regional autonomy, a say in the foreign and security policies, the use of Russian language and so on. If he moves in that direction, a sea change in the climate of relations between Ukraine and Russia is possible.

The Just World Fallacy: Why People Bash Assange and Defend Power

Caitlin Johnstone at The Ghion Journal - 12 hours ago
I write a lot about how important it is for political dissidents to research and understand cognitive biases, the large number of well-documented logical glitches in the way human brains process information. I do this because the science of modern propaganda has been in research and development for more than a century, so if public domain psychology is aware of these glitches we can be absolutely certain that the propagandists are as well, and that they are exploiting those glitches… The post The Just World Fallacy: Why People Bash Assange and Defend Power appeared first on The Gh... more »

Going Hunting This Summer? These 5 Rifles Are the Best.

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Best of the best. *The Model 700 is a “push feed” action, meaning the bolt pushes the round into the breech, where the bolt is safeguarded by the company’s famous “three rings of steel”: one ring of steel surrounding the bolt, a second ring formed by the butt of the barrel, and a third ring formed by the forward receiver ring. The result, Remington says, is an extraordinarily safe action that won’t blow up in the user’s face. It also results in a extremely strong, consistent action lending itself to a high level of accuracy.* Hunting, more than oth... more »
