Where Was The DCCC When A GOP Tracker Was Manhandling Kara Eastman's Daughter?

Obama won it in 2008, Romney won it in 2012 and Hillary beat Trump 48.2% to 46.0% in 2016. It's a very swingy district with a miscalculated R+4 PVI (should be R+2).

"Correlation does not imply causation", but when it comes to bedbugs . . .

Diversity Of An Ecosystem Is Important, Not Size
Though countries like the United States and Ireland have far more forest than they did a century ago, professional environmentalists insist there needs to be more. From butterflies to bees, some groups insist more of the modern world must be reverted to nature, even when it comes to formerly ecologic wins like hydroelectric dams. Large ecosystems bring stability, they insist. But that isn't really true. Instead, stability and diversity happen when the ecosystem is complex, not just because it is large. And he branching complexity of rivers are absolutely vital in affecting regional... more »
"I Wish..."
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. We do not decide the times we find ourselves in. All we must do is decide what to do with the time we are given." - J.R.R. Tolkien, "Lord of the Rings"
What the National Counterintelligence and Security Center Really Said About Chinese Economic Espionage
Defense News recently ran a story describing a July 2018 report from the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) on “Foreign Economic Espionage in Cyberspace”. The story presents the NCSC report as warning that the threat posed by Chinese industrial cyber theft to America’s long-term economic power continues to expand, despite the Obama-Xi agreement in 2015 to “curb Chinese economic espionage over the Internet.” But this framing is at least somewhat misleading. It’s worth looking at what the NCSC report actually says, which is that “the Intelligence Community and... more »
"And Never, Never To Forget."
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." - Arundhati Roy

Betraying Workers
Donald Trump came to power claiming he would be the working people's president. Paul Krugman writes: By now, it’s almost a commonplace to say that Trump has systematically betrayed the white working class voters who put him over the top. He ran as a populist; he’s governed as an orthodox Republican, with the only difference being the way he replaced racial dog-whistles with raw, upfront racism. Many people have made this point with respect to the Trump tax cut, which is so useless to ordinary workers that Republican candidates are trying to avoid talking about it. The same can be... more »

*Greenhouse Gas Climate Science Is Broken Beyond Repair* Written by Hans Schreuder In earlier centuries, science had a positive influence on society in developing social awareness around objectivity and rationality. It replaced the witchcraft and hocus pocus of charlatans with evaluation of objective evidence as the means of determining truth. But now, science is leading the pack for charlatanism and witchcraft, as junk science is acquiring a greater legitimacy than the charlatans ever had. Wherever there is corruption in science the most important, underlying facts are contrived... more »

The Real Benefit of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to Corporate America
A recent study by Penn Wharton looks at the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) on federal corporate tax rates across 19 main industrial sectors over the next decade and compares them to current tax rates. While the current administration in Washington is touting TCJA as the panacea to America's economic woes, the Penn Wharton study suggests otherwise. I want to start this section with a definition that is used in the Penn Wharton study. The effective tax rate is known as the effective tax rate (or ETR) which is calculated by dividing taxes paid by book income (i.e. pre-tax... more »
GOP Tax Scam-- Just More Failed Trickle Down
The GOP thought that at least they'd have *one* "achievement" to run on in the midterms-- the massive taxcut. But the tax cut-- which many call "the tax scam"-- has turned out to not be that popular, not popular enough to run on. Over the weekend, the *NY Times* reported that Republicans aren't barging about and aren't even bragging about the continuation of the Obama economic expansion Trump takes credit for. "Republicans have reason to doubt the efficacy of an economic message in hotly contested midterm campaigns, which have historically been referendums on the sitting president... more »

Nevertheless, following comments from friends and acquaintances over the Cardinal McCarrick affair, I think I have to try to set out the current situation as I see it. I hope I can shed some light on what's happening. However, I can't offer a solution, because the Church is *not* going to change willingly. It's marching to the beat of a different drummer, and it won't listen to any other. That's potentially one of its great... more »

The scale is hard to grasp and it is equally hard to grasp just how long this has to have been underway. Earth's known time window for terra forming is around 500,000 years or 50,000 centuries.
