OUR GREEN PRESIDENT
So this happened today: President Trump said during a White House briefing on Thursday that he is a “big believer” in climate change and that it is “not a hoax” soon after his administration announced a plan to overhaul an environmental policy act. When asked by a White House pool reporter if he believes climate change is a hoax, the president said, “No, no. Not at all. Nothing’s a hoax. Nothing’s a hoax about that. It’s a very serious subject. I want clean air. I want clean water.” He then claimed, “The environment is very important to me. Somebody wrote a book that I’m an environm... more »

Australian Bushfires Much Worse In 1974/5
By Paul Homewood An important and, as usual, forensic contribution from Roy Spencer: Summary Points 1) Global wildfire activity has decreased in recent decades, making any localized increase (or decrease) in wildfire activity difficult to attribute to ‘global climate change’. 2) Like California, Australia is prone to bushfires every year during the dry […]

JULIAN ASSANGE: Countdown to Freedom–new podcast series–interviews on upcoming extradition trial
In the wake of the U.S. illegal drone strike and assassination of Qasem Soleimani, it has become all the more timely to expose the illegal activities of the U.S. government. Julian Assange did just that, and he is now facing extradition to the U.S. and a lifetime sentence behind the bars of a U.S. maximum security penitentiary. As his health declines, not only does he deserve our support at this critical moment, the right to publish and inform the public is at stake.

Washington's New Worry: Iran Has a Reputation for Letting Its Lust for Revenge Simmer
*Ali Demirdas* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Donald Trump will continue to use Tehran’s unwavering desire to develop nuclear capabilities as a justification to do what he wants when he wants whenever the time is right—and that may prove costly for America in the end. The assassination of Maj. Gen. Qassem Suleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, has shocked the world. Qassim Suleimani was considered the second most prominent figure after Ali Khamanei, the current Supreme Leader of Iran. Suleimani, for the Iranian youth, was more l... more »

*Patrik K.

Western media has extensively reported about the draconian forced assimilation program that Beijing is imposing on eleven million Uyghurs in Xinjiang. This program includes wiping out any traces of the Islamic beliefs and behavior of this historically Muslim Turkic ethnic group. Given that Islam requires every Muslim to defend his brethren right to practice Isla... more »

Today just three countries operate long-range heavy bombers. Russia has 170 or so Bears, Backfires and Blackjacks. America fields 160 swing-wing B-1s, radar-evading B-2s and stalwart B-52s.

America's Actions in Iraq Could Create a Stronger Iran
*Amitai Etzioni* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Iran will now rush to develop its nuclear weapons because it has learned—just like the North Koreans have learned—that it will be treated much more carefully once it has obtained a far more deadly deterrent. There is an important lesson in the way Iran has responded so far to the killing of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani—it shows that the country has more respect for a show of force than diplomatic gestures, offers of deals, or sanctions. So far, Iran’s response to the assassination of Suleimani has been very disproportional.... more »

Americans are suckers for a good story about freedom fighters rising up for democracy against a tyrannical government. But before we get fooled again, we ought to take a careful, dispassionate look.

Finally, relief from vertigo
This week I was down for 4 days with vertigo. People call it being dizzy, but it's worse than that for me--I can hardly tell the ceiling from the floor, and tip over even sitting down. And although you don't die of vertigo, if you fall at 80, it's a serious problem. Falls result in more than 2.8 million injuries treated in emergency departments annually, including over 800,000 hospitalizations and more than 27,000 deaths. It happens when a tiny crystal gets dislodged from your inner ear, and really messes up your balance. I had it when I was about 50, really bad, and then again t... more »
The frustration of being a Republican

The booming Trump economy creates a labor shortage
So many Democrats believe Trump's economy talk and tweets are "spin."
