Robert Reich - 40 minutes ago
*THE FOG OF TRUMP* Trump uses 5 tactics to create a fog of confusion and bewilderment, so we don’t pay attention to the real damage he’s doing – undermining our democracy; rewarding the rich and hurting the working class, middle class, and the poor; stoking hatefulness; and undercutting America’s standing in the world. 1. *His first tactic is to distract us – dominate the news with tweets and rants, accusations, who he’s fired, who he’s insulted, what he’s demanded*. He wants us to be so preoccupied with all this that we lose sight of the big picture. 2. *His second tactic is t... more »
Is President Trump A Traitor Because He Wants Peace With Russia?
[image: undefined] The US Democratic Party is determined to take the world to thermo-nuclear war rather than to admit that Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election fair and square. The Democratic Party was totally corrupted by the Clinton Regime, and now it is totally insane. Leaders of the Democratic Party, such as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, my former co-author in the New York Times, have responded in a non-Democratic way to the first step President Trump has taken to reduce the extremely dangerous tensions with Russia that the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes ... more »

Even Folks In Russia Hate Trump And Realize What A Worthless Untrustworthy Liar He Is
I was in Russia for a few weeks in 2016. With the exception of a couple of towns around Moscow, we only saw Moscow and St Petersburg. I found Moscovites generally cold, closed and unfriendly, in the same way tourists sometimes describe New Yorkers. I didn't like it much. St. Petersburg was the opposite: friendly, warm, open... good restaurants... So much better than Moscow to visit. But I can't say I'm a Russian expert because of my short trip to the two biggest cities in the country-- and one brief love affair. But I did go to some great museums, not just the Hermitage, but to le... more »

Missing Plutonium
Plutonium is in the news. Plutonium is rarely found on earth. It is chemically toxic and its radiation decay includes gamma radiation, alpha particles and beta particles. One atom of plutonium internalized has the potential to kill you over time as its alpha particle decay shreds DNA. Of course, plutonium is prized for precisely these decay elements. Its killing radioactivity adds to the allure of its explosive force. One would therefore think that countries would be more mindful of their plutonium. The US has failed in this regard.

Theresa May undertakes a wrecking operation are her Brexit position, making it *even less* likely to fly with the EU.

RFK, Jr. proves HHS is in violation of the “Mandate for Safer Childhood Vaccines” as stipulated in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act
When Congress granted economic immunity to pharmaceutical companies in 1986 for vaccine injury, Congress recognized it eviscerated the economic incentive for pharmaceutical companies to create safe vaccines or make existing ones safer. Congress, therefore, placed the responsibility and burden for vaccine safety directly and virtually entirely on the shoulders and in the hands of the […] The post RFK, Jr. proves HHS is in violation of the “Mandate for Safer Childhood Vaccines” as stipulated in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act appeared first on Health Nut News.

New Class Of Commercial Herbicide Is All Natural - But Discovered Using Science
Nature is not just out to kill us, it is out to kill itself, in the interest of surviving over the long term. That is why even the most wholesome backyard organic garden is a hotbed of combat between plants and unseen microorganisms in the soil fighting for space to grow. To defeat a plant, a microbe might produce and use toxic chemicals - but then the microbe also needs immunity from its own poisons. The genes that create protective shield in microorganisms could become a new, highly effective weed killer and the first new class of commercial herbicides in more than 30 years. rea... more »

Q: What does Putin want? A: Chaos
What does Putin want? Surprisingly, to me, I found a speech to the US Senate by Marco Rubio very helpful, and fairly persuasive, in giving an answer that makes sense. With serious delusions about how the world works (it's a "zero-sum world," folks) and a leader of an economy not much bigger than Belgium and Holland, Putin still, somehow, wants to pretend he *matters*; he still wants to project *power -- *to strut on a world stage. And how to do that with so little to call on ... ? Answer: Chaos. D'you think it's working? . Content is copyright PC.BlogSpot.Com © Permission to repu... more »

Nor are the shortcomings limited to the splashiest moments of the hearing, such as when Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) invoked Strzok’s marriage. Rather, from an institutional perspective, the session underscored how deeply Congress’s oversight muscles have atrophied and how much work must b... more »
