There's Even Good News For Hillary And The Democrats In A Red Hellhole Like Idaho

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 hour ago
Idaho is one of the reddest-- and whitest-- states in the country. In 2008, Obama won just 36.09% of the votes there. Only Utah, Oklahoma and Wyoming gave him less support. In 2012 Obama's vote in Idaho fell to 32.62%, lower than Oklahoma's and beaten out in the race for the bottom just by Wyoming and Utah. The state's whole congressional delegation is Republican, as are all the statewide elected officials.

A psychopath (sometimes also called a sociopath) is a person without a conscience- one who lies, cheats, steals and in some cases rapes and murders without compunction. It is estimated that about 6% of the people are psychopaths, though degree of psychopathology is thought to vary among individuals. Being a psychopath is not a form of mental illness, since such people are in fact not delusional or cognitively impaired in the usual sense. Wh...more »

However, part of the way that something becomes popular is that many of us don’t take the time to determine what’s right for us; we simply do what most of the people we know are doing.

Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 16 hours ago
There has been an outcry lately about political party fundraising. I, for one, am getting tired of all the parties sending me emails asking for a donation. Susan Delacourt writes: We know that all political parties need money — millions of dollars a year, in fact. But what exactly are they selling to get it? So far, the Liberals’ answers on these questions have been less than adequate. We’ve heard the business-as-usual rationale: “All parties engage in fundraising,” Government House leader Bardish Chagger said in the Commons this week. “We all have to follow the same rules.

Once Again: The Democrats' Very Worst Senate Candidate-- Erin Patrick Murphy, AKA- Privileged Patrick

There are 5 Senate races that are really close and that will determine which party controls that body for the next two years-- but neither swingy Ohio nor Florida, where Chuck Schumer picked his own candidates, Ted Strickland and Patrick Murphy, and rammed them through the primary process-- are among them. Both Schumer's candidates were seen as duds before Schumer insisted on them and both have proven the point after they were given the Democratic nominations on silver platters. Way back in May, months before Obama put his finger (and toes and whole torso) on the scale for Murphy,... more »

There's an interesting article in the latest edition of *Progress* Magazine. Crowded Ground by Robert Philpot takes a brief survey of the political scene before identifying emerging territory vacated, he claims, by ourselves and our Conservative opponents. He makes some interesting points about May's flirtation with populism, another thing she borrowed from Ed Miliband. Yes, who knew? But it is an argument with some legs. As Ed was positioning Labour to mount his crusade against the predators of 21st century capitalism, it meant setting up a rhetorical structure in which the rip o... more »

*Louisa Loveluck, Washington Post*: *What a Syrian PR trip says about Bashar al-Assad’s thinking* After five years of war, Syria has become a byword for the sort of vicious assault on civilian life unseen in the 21st century. But in a rare press trip to the capital, Damascus, this week, visitors tasted a different reality. In town at the invitation of President Bashar al-Assad’s government, Western reporters, politicians and analysts — some temporarily struck from the government’s blacklist — found a city where guns had fallen silent and bars were abuzz. The centerpiece of their... more »

Turkey is preparing for a possible invasion of Iraq by deploying troops and military hardware to the southern border town of Silopi. Just hours after the deployment and less than a week after Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan said his forces might pursue Kurdish fighters across the border, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi warned the Turkish military not to enter its territory or it would “pay a heavy price”. Anti Media reports: “We do not want to fight Turkey. We do not want a confrontation with Turkey,” Abadi said while speaking to journalists in Baghdad on Tuesday. “God forbid... more »

99 Years of Lies: Balfour gave Palestine to the New World Order, not to the Jewish People

Knowledge Is Power at Knowledge Is Power - 1 day ago
Today in 1917, the Jewish politician, Balfour, issued his infamous Declaration, giving the land of Palestine to his fellow Jews. Balfour was not a Palestinian, he did not live in Palestine, but all the same, he felt that as a person of Jewish heritage, working for the contemptible Imperial government of Britain, he had the right to interfere in the lives of people living many miles from the UK. The Balfour Declaration was issued to assure the Jews in the USA that the UK was an obedient little puppy dog, which would bend over backwards to advance the interests of the global Jewish... more »

Noose In Workplace Doesn't Equal Discrimination, Says Court

Donna Ballman at Screw You Guys, I'm Going Home - 1 day ago
People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them that there are multiple cases saying a noose at work does not equal actionable race discrimination. Well, here's another one. This case was shocking even to me because coworkers testified that there had been multiple instances of nooses hung in this workplace. Plus, the employee claimed other instances of being treated differently than non-black employees. Yet, in this case the 7th Circuit found that the employer did enough by reporting the incident to the police and leaving the rest to them. Here's what the court said: Employers ar... more »

The African American turnout for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has been less than “solid” among early voters, US President Barack Obama said Obama said early voting is up among Hispanics, but not among black voters. During an appearance on the Tom Joyner Morning show on Wednesday, Obama said he was satisfied with the Hispanic vote but African American communities need to show more support for Clinton. “I’m going to be honest with you right now, because we track, we’ve got early voting, we’ve got all kinds of metrics to see what’s going on, and right now, the Lati...more »

"Huge python that killed boys was growling, aggressive, court told". That's the headline for today's irving press. And, in the trade, it's what is called cheap sensationalism.

Inside, there's a big story about three people getting an award from one of our many halls of fame for being rich. (Last week there were two stories about the same people, same award.)
