The Senate Health Care Bill Could Save America Billions
*Robert E. Moffit* *Politics, North America* [image: Money] As much as $772 billion could be saved over ten years. Thinking about enacting the Medicaid reforms in the Senate health bill? You might as well push the button on the Doomsday Machine. At least, that’s what the near hysterical rhetoric from the Left would have you believe. To hear them tell it, millions of the poor and indigent, including disabled children, would be thrown off Medicaid rolls and left to fend for themselves. “Thousands” will die. Puh-leeze!

New Artillery Rounds Will Help Restore America's Conventional Deterrence
*Dan Goure* *Security, * The U.S. can no longer take its dominance as a given Once upon a time, the U.S. was the world's sole military superpower. Commentators coined the phrase "the American way of war." This term referred primarily to the employment of superior air and space capabilities to dominate the initial period of hostilities and determine their course and outcome. In fact, the U.S. military was dominant in virtually every domain of warfare for more than two decades. The U.S. can no longer take its dominance as a given. While the U.S. military was focused on and investe... more »

How it came to be … isn’t so well-known. It involved the mail. The story began back in summer of 1958. The communist People’s Republic of China was preparing to invade the U.S.-backed Republic of China, a.k.a. Taiwan. In the course of related operations, the People’s Liberation Army Air Force received the order to estab... more »

TRUMP REALLY GOES WINGNUT A LOT FOR A GUY WITH NO FIXED IDEOLOGY
We're regularly told that Donald Trump is ideologically malleable, and therefore he's likely any day now to reject conservatism and have a love-in with Democrats on infrastructure or health care or taxing the rich, just because he'll do anything to score a political win. So it's odd that he's never shown us any evidence of liberalism as president, while he keeps making moves like this: President Trump on Wednesday said he would ban transgender people from any military service. Trump made the announcement, which would represent a major shift in military policy, on Twitter. Chris Ha... more »

McCain Wants To Be A Hero Again-- But Not THAT Much
By now you know McConnell's Motion to Proceed into the murky depths of healthcare legislation-- virtually none of the senators voting yesterday knew exactly what bill would be proceeded *to*-- passed when Mike Pence broke a 50-50 tie. McConnell dragged McCain out of his hospital bed in Phoenix because he knew only Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) planned to stick to their guns about not wrecking healthcare for tens of millions of Americans. Remember when Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) boasted she wouldn't flinch from being the deciding vote to kill the bill. She wasn't ... more »

He flew all the way across the country in order to facilitate the process of denying to millions of Americans the ki... more »

Tory Tribunal Fee Farce
Unalloyed goodness is a rarity in politics, especially when it comes to labour movement politics. But the decision handed down by the Supreme Court this morning ruling that employment tribunal fees are unlawful is some of the best industrial news seen in years. Implemented by the Tories with Liberal Democrat support in 2013, it was ostensibly part of the contrived war on red tape. According to the former Prime Minister, workplace rights were getting in the way of job creation and growth. A convenient scapegoat when you consider the real reason for Britain's econo... more »

Ford — the most expensive warship in history — was commissioned on July 22, entering the fleet amid renewed debate and questions about the role of “super carriers” in 21st century maritime warfare.

If Trump Doesn’t Veto Sanctions Bill, ‘He’s Given Up on His Presidency’
President Trump is either uninterested in pursuing the policies he outlined on the campaign trail when it comes to Russia or he is so cornered on the new Russia sanctions bill that he knows he can't win and is afraid to take the political risk of a veto.

His own party, which controls both houses of Congress, is an accessory to the crime, as the new Russia sanctions bill ties the hands of their own president and forces him to beg Congress for permission ... more »

Who Thinks Subsidizing Rich Sports Team Owners Is A Good Use Of Public Funds?
I was elected freshman class president at college and the first vote I remember taking on the student council was to oppose spending student funds on moleskin-- a cotton fabric some sports team wanted because it's resistant to wind and abrasion. Let them get their own moleskins; I had Fugs, Doors, Country Joe & the Fish, Who and Otis Redding concerts in mind, not to mention lectures by Timothy Leary and Julian Bond. Conservatives on the council didn't agree with me-- not on that vote, nor on any others... not ever. But I find myself on the same team with conservatives today when ... more »

Silent protest parade in New York against the East St. Louis riots, 1917. Library of Congress The only sounds were those of muffled drums, the shuffling of feet and the gentle sobs of some of the estimated 20,000 onlookers. The women and children wore all white. The men dressed in black. On the afternoon of Saturday, July 28, 1917, nearly 10,000 African-Americans marched down Fifth Avenue, in silence, to protest racial violence and white supremacy in the United States.

"The Problem With Proverbs"
*"The Problem With Proverbs"* by Patrick Cockburn "My father, Claud Cockburn, invented a game in which participants made up national sayings that had to be completely meaningless but sound appropriate to their purported country of origin. An example could be the traditional Norwegian saying, “the tree is taller than the highest wave” or, as they say in India, “all is not nothingness, nor the nothingness all”. The idea for the game came to him on the top of a bus in London which was crawling along in a traffic jam. He overheard a passenger in the seat in front of him complain to a f... more »
"Always Getting Ready..."

The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke"Book of Hours II,16"
*"Book of Hours II,16"* "How surely gravity's law, strong as an ocean current, takes hold of even the strongest thing and pulls it toward the heart of the world. Each thing- each stone, blossom, child- is held in place. Only we, in our arrogance, push out beyond what we belong to for some empty freedom. If we surrendered to earth's intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees. Instead we entangle ourselves in knots of our own making and struggle, lonely and confused. So, like children, we begin again to learn from the things, because they are in God's heart; they have never left him. ... more »

"What matter if this base, unjust life Cast you naked and disarmed? If the ground breaks beneath your step, Have you not your soul? Your soul!
