Why The Donald Should Cool It On North Korea
[image: undefined] The realized truth of modern history is crystal clear. Washington had no business intervening in a quarrel between two no-count wanna be dictators (Syngman Rhee and Kim il Sung) on the Korean peninsula in June 1950, and surely has no business still stationing 29,000 American soldiers there 67 years latter. Yet owing to the institutionalized albatross of that mis-vectored history, the world is now much closer to the brink of nuclear war than at any time since the dark days of the early cold war. And the Donald has become just the latest political tourist in the Ov... more »
Those were the days... When was America 'great'? And who has Steve Bannon reincarnated?
Have you heard of “Godwin’s Law?” It asserts that: *“I**f an online discussion (regardless of topic) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will invoke Hitler.”* In practice, it is used to shame or chastise those who make any sort of comparison to the fascist hellscape of the mid-20 th Century.* To be sure, an overused, hyperbolic cliché can be tiresome.** Mike Godwin must be going crazy, right now, amid the tsunami of post-election comparisons. For the record, I do not think Donald Trump wants to, or will, become a Hitler. Parallels with *Mussolini* are creepy though, starti... more »

Korean War is Not Over
As tensions with North Korea rise and the media continues to push for red lines in President Trump’s foreign policy, what historical context is missing from the conversation? Is the North Korean government simply irrational and belligerent or are historical forces behind Pyongyang’s behavior? Mark Selden, senior research associate in the East Asia program at Cornell University, joins RT America’s Anya Parampil to discuss. The US has long refused to sign a peace treaty with North Korea - officially the war is still on.
A Few Thoughts
*Trump Candidacy - Retrospective* As we approach the conclusion of President Trump's first hundred days in office, it may be a good time to look back and ask yourself why pundits are paid so well -- sometimes millions of dollars every year. Now, the look back - our retrospective: *The NRA Convention is Coming* Firearms dealers and manufacturers are mourning the loss of their champion, Barack Obama - the man who sold firearms and ammunition in a way that nobody else could. Clearly statues will be erected to him by Smith and Wesson. With Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch on the Supre... more »
Today There's A Referendum On Trump In The Atlanta Suburbs
*Trump stumbles into making the GA-06 special today all about him* According to Alan Grayson today is "a great day for a Trump train wreck... the first really winnable election for the Democrats during the Trump Error Era. Democrat Jon Ossoff is running against a boil of Georgia Republicans (group of spiraling hawks = “a boil”) in the special election for Tom Price’s Congressional seat. If he makes it to 50%, he wins; otherwise, there’s a runoff... Taking that seat from red to blue would strike real fear into the GOP. Nationwide polls show the GOP losing the 2018 election for the Ho... more »
WHY DIDN'T CONSERVATIVES HATE BILL CLINTON FOR PLAYING GOLF?
I think Shaun King is basically right about this: No President in American history has ever golfed more per week than Donald Trump. In his first 12 weeks in office Trump took a staggering 18 golf course trips. That's unheard of. In his first 12 weeks in office, President Obama didn't visit a single golf course. By the end of this year, it's likely that Trump will have golfed more than President Obama has in his entire presidency. And that's strange. It's really strange. Because Donald Trump and other conservative pundits seemed to be deeply bothered by the times President Obama wen... more »

*Pushing Communism on Children* As that old cliché states, the definition of insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over again expecting different results. However, when applied to those who promote the Marxist ideals of communism, this becomes a truism. It’s quite simply intellectually and historically dishonest to suggest that communism has ever produced a more just society, let alone anything even remotely resembling the utopia its advocates so exuberantly promise. And yet leftist proponents of the fatally flawed system repeatedly argue for its acceptance on the basis of... more »

*The Climate Change Speech Donald Trump Should Give (?)* *U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis is a Republican who has drunk the global warming Kool-Aid. Below he offers a rather clever imitation of a Trump speech in which he proposes that old chestnut, a carbon tax. The only new wrinkle in it seems to be that he proposes to levy the tax on imports only. A small detail he omits to mention is that only 15% of the U.S. GNP is imports so the "bite" of the tax would be small. But governments love taxes so that's OK. Any tax is better than none.There is however in the speech not one word about... more »

Another Huge Disappointment
I cannot imagine that, these days, Pierre would applaud Justin's performance. Trudeau the Elder famously said that living next to the United States was like sleeping with an elephant. But I doubt that he would counsel his son to navigate the relationship by climbing on the elephant's back. That, however, is what Justin has been doing lately. He applauded Donald Trump's attack on Syria. Now he is boycotting a key UN disarmament initiative. Linda McQuaid writes: Having Trump's back may be Trudeau's idea of putting Canada back on the world stage, but it feels more like a revival of t... more »

The Economic Impact of Brexit - A No-Win Situation?
A paperby Swati Dhingra, Gianmarco Ottaviano, Thomas Sampson and John Van Reenen at the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics and Political Science examines the economic consequences of the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union on both the U.K. and the European Union as a whole. With the European Union being the U.K.'s largest trading partner, Brexit will obviously have a significant impact on both economies since tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade would change.

However, in reality, it is not a shift in priorities, it is recognition that US ambitions in the Middle East have been thoroughly disrupted by Syrian, Russian, and Iranian resolve. The US must now resort to pursuing secondary courses of action - no less malicious in intent or ultimate outcome than its original plan which has left a region at war since 2011, killed tens of thousands, and displace ... more »
Theresa May seeks general election per BBC News
Call me an old conspiracy theory nut but this decision by Prime Minister Theresa May to hold a snap general election reeks of deep state manoeuvring. The establishment don't want Brexit to happen and if the result of the general election is a Labour government or a coalition of Labour or Conservatives with the EU fanatics of the Liberal Democrats then Brexit will be off. In the words of John Lydon "do you ever get the feeling you've been had?" More excitement from remaniacs here on the institutionally pro EU BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-39628713
