DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* It's been a tough week for Republicans. Polishing their orange turd of a president isn't easy. They're so besotted that they can't even recognize that that's what they're doing. They love the man so much. They try and they try and they try to please him. They are so devoted and worshipful of dear leader yet, for all their efforts, they are getting nowhere, treading water in a river current that threatens to carry them away, over the falls to the rocks below. At this point, they can still count on Moscow Mitch and his fellow Russian wannabes to keep the great orange tumo... more »

A simple explanation of the new climate science,

Geoff at The Australian Climate Sceptics Blog - 21 hours ago
by Dr Ed Berry LINK Climate Truth New calculations prove all human CO2 emitted since 1750 has added only 31 ppm (parts per million) of CO2 to the atmosphere, and natural CO2 has added 100 ppm. All human carbon has added only one per cent to the carbon in Earth’s carbon cycle. Nature has added much more carbon to the carbon cycle than humans have added. The new calculations use data from the United Nations *Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change* (IPCC). IPCC claims the CO2 level was 280 ppm in 1750, and human CO2 added the 131 ppm to get today’s 411 ppm. But IPCC’s calculations ar... more »

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 21 hours ago
*Have I Got News For You* actually made a joke about Labour last night, and guess what? Yes, the pro-Corbyn crazies on Twitter went mad, accusing the programme of having made a racist attack on Diane Abbott. Of course, the programme was actually making a joke about Diane Abbott's famous inability to get numbers right. Anyhow, here's a sample of the madness to brighten up your Saturday morning: - David Mitchell, I was astonished at your not very well disguised racist attack on Diane Abbott on #HIGNFY. - WTF is the matter with these so called alternative comedians they ar... more »

Romaine outbreak No. 5 met with ‘frustration and heartbreak” by Salinas growers for those infected

Dan Flynn at Food Safety News - 22 hours ago
Like last year, shoppers are probably going to avoid romaine lettuce and maybe other leafy greens like spinach just ahead of Thanksgiving due to fears over yet another expanding multistate outbreak of E. coli O157: H7.

YOUR SATURDAY CARTOONS:#IMPEACHMENT NONSENSE: NOVEMBER 23, 2019

Noor al Haqiqa at SNIPPITS AND SNAPPITS - 22 hours ago
So very tired of this farce. I am wondering if, besides being a sad attack on the President, it is also a diversion from other pressing issues. The situation in Mexico comes to mind. Cartels are completely taking over everything which could cause many more border problems as time passes. Yet no one ever discusses Obama and Holder's Fast and Furious situation that armed them so well. David Dees has published a new book, #4, currently on sale just in time for December gifting. Great trade! Someone is straightening out their priorities. Oh, yeah! ... more »

Inside China's "People's War" Plan for the South China Sea

James Holmes at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* Unstoppable? *Key point:* China is rushing ahead with preparations to ensure it would gain the upper hand in any armed conflict over its territorial claims. Last year China’s defense minister, *General Chang Wanquan*,* implored the nation to ready itself for a “people’s war at sea*.” The purpose of such a campaign? To “safeguard sovereignty” after an adverse ruling from the* International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea*.

Why Putin Ordered Half Of Russia's Elite Stealth Su-57s Into The Sky

Mark Episkopos at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Europe* Russia is exhibiting its latest wares. *Key point: *Russia really wants to sell these jets. Back in May, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s IL-96-300PU presidential plane was flanked by no less than six Su-57 stealth fighter jets while en route to the 929th Chkalov State Flight-Test Center in southwestern Russia. *Video footage* of the flight shows the Su-57 fighters grouped in what better resembles a parade column than an escort formation, suggesting a soft-power intent behind Putin’s trip. There are several factors at play. First and perhaps... more »

*Simon F. Haeder* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] Americans are being bankrupted by health care costs. der, *Pennsylvania State University* Medical bankruptcy has been a talking point for many Democratic candidates as they make their individual cases for health care reform.

All of the Ways the U.S. Navy Could Fight (And Beat) North Korea in a War

James Holmes at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/BRITAIN-USA-AIRCRAFT-RC1F4ED44030.html] But let's hope that never happens. *Key point:* The Navy has many options, but the Admirals know that they all come at a cost. How can the U.S. Navy destroy North Korea should Washington give the word? It can’t. Or at least it stands little chance of doing so by its lonesome barring improbable circumstances. What the navy can do is contribute to a joint or multinational campaign that destroys the Northern regime or its armed forces. But even that would involve pe... more »

Attention, people of Cuba: Obey the orders of the U.S. Army, or suffer the consequences. This is what the Cubans would have been told, had the United States invaded the island during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. “Resistance to the United States armed forces will be forcefully stamped out. Serious offenders will be dealt with severely,” read a draft proclamation that would have been broadcast to the Cuban people, according to declassified docume... more »

A Conservative View Of The 2020 Open Seat Congressional Elections-- Trump's Toxicity Is Going To Cost A LOT Of Republicans Their Congressional Seats

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 day ago
The November Emerson poll was released yesterday. The polling shows Bernie and Status Quo Joe tied for first place in the Democratic Primary, with only Elizabeth Warren as another viable candidate.

"A Perpetual Illusion..."

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 day ago
"Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion; men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit; few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion. Man is then only disguise, falsehood, and hypocrisy, both in himself and in regard to others.

The Illogicality of Philosophical Movements

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 day ago
All philosophical movements lead to disillusionment in men who possess a brain that is capable of doing what it’s supposed to do: Think. The philosophical movements are energized by the claim that they have discovered the answers to the ultimate philosophical problems. But the ultimate problems in philosophy have multiple answers: What is the ultimate nature of things? What kind of human enterprise should be designated right or wrong? What is the ultimate moral standard? Why does man have natural rights? The dilemma in such questions is always confronting us. Individualism or securi... more »
