“Abortion is the business model of Planned Parenthood, and business is booming.

Divide and Conquer
Trump is not going to save America. Even if he once believed that he could do so, the window for such a manoeuvre has closed.
Not Much Of A Wave, But The House Did Change Hands, So There's That
*Devolution of the Star Child* Democrats winning the House means there will be an effective check on Trump's worst authoritarian tendencies. It also kills the Republican Party's ambitions to repeal the Affordable Care Act and further eviscerate the social safety net. So how many seats did the Democrats pick up? We don't know yet because so many seats-- and not just in California-- are still uncalled. Here's my best guesses on how this turns out-- state by state. *Alabama* Nothing happened; nothing ever happens. *Alaska* And Don Young was reelected, after a brief scare from Alyse ... more »

"When We Don’t Take Action: The Effect of Not Doing"
*"When We Don’t Take Action: The Effect of Not Doing"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM "Our actions shape our lives, but what we don't take action on can be just as powerful. Life is sculpted on a moment-to-moment basis. Every one of the thoughts we think, the words we speak, and the actions we take contributes to the complex quality and character of the universe’s unfolding. It simply is not possible to be alive without making an impact on the world that surrounds us. Every action taken affects the whole as greatly as every action not taken. And when it comes to making the world a b... more »

I will not and cannot believe that evil is the normal condition of mankind. And it is just this faith of mine that they laugh at. But how can I help believing it?

Edward Abbey, "Benedicto"
“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets' towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where d... more »

The Poet: Matthew Arnold, "Growing Old"
*"Growing Old"* "What is it to grow old? Is it to lose the glory of the form, The lustre of the eye? Is it for beauty to forego her wreath? Yes, but not for this alone. Is it to feel our strength - Not our bloom only, but our strength - decay? Is it to feel each limb Grow stiffer, every function less exact, Each nerve more weakly strung? Yes, this, and more! but not, Ah, 'tis not what in youth we dreamed 'twould be! 'Tis not to have our life Mellowed and softened as with sunset-glow, A golden day's decline!

Flanders: The NWO-Zionist crap is mainstream
*by Flanders* You don't "latch onto" a NWO agenda. There are too many of those being expressed for someone to "latch onto" any particular one of them. You study. And, Keep an open mind - not open so that the brains fall out, but open in reviewing and analyzing different theories realistically in order to determine facts. I've done that and I have my opinions based upon all that I have studied over a period of several years. There is still much to learn, but I can tell you that there is a NWO agenda being directed from several sources. Those are all working together and the control f... more »

As American Heart Association Prepares to Revise Guidelines for Cholesterol, Harvard Doctor Speaks Out on Conflict of Interests
The American Heart Association (AHA) will soon be meeting in Chicago to set new guidelines for treating high cholesterol, the first big update since 2013. Medical doctors are not at all unified in their position on cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, although pharmaceutical companies and their front groups, such as the AHA, would like the public to believe all doctors are in favor of lowering cholesterol via medication. Independent journalist Sharyl Attkisson recently covered the issue of the "Statin Wars" on her TV show, Full Measure. In the introduction to her show, Attkisson stat... more »
The danger for the nation
They can't help it. Even the best of them. Justin Webb was going so well at trying to be impartial on the latest *Beyond Today *podcast for Radio 4, and then he said *this*: Even with those messages, this kind of sense that actually that message about the other, that that message, as the Democrats would see it, about hate actually works to an extent. And Donald Trump, you know, when he was going around the country, when you look at the places he went, his people have done pretty well and he's done pretty well. And that, I think, is a template. *The danger for the nation* is t... more »

China Sees No Change In President Trump's Tough Trade Stance After Yesterday's Midterm Elections
*SCMP:* *US election results unlikely to change Donald Trump’s tough stance on China, observers say* * US president more likely to view poll as a vote of confidence for his domestic and foreign policies * Curbing China’s rise is the one issue on which Republicans and Democrats agree The mixed results in Tuesday’s US midterm elections provided further evidence of the political divisions caused by President Donald Trump’s contentious domestic agenda, but left Beijing no wiser as to the possible future direction of his hardline policy on China. While Trump’s power may be weakened as... more »
Pooch travels 3,000 miles to reunite with soldier who saved her from a explosion
Sean Laidlaw, 30, met Barrie when he was stationed in Syria as a private contractor leading a bomb disposal team. He found Barrie – have we mentioned Barrie is a dog? – whimpering and surrounded by rubble after a building had exploded around her. Sean brought Barrie food and water, and sectioned off the area so it would be safe from further bombs. At first the puppy rejected any strokes and contact, but after three days she warmed to the soldier. They quickly became inseparable. Over the three months Sean spent in Syria, Barrie became a source of support and comfort. He made the dog... more »

The Resignation of Jeff Sessions Is a Prelude to a Saturday Night Massacre
*Gary Hart* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Donald Trump is flexing his presidential powers following the midterm elections. Republicans said the 2018 elections were about immigration. Democrats said they were about health care. Each was probably right in its own venues. But more than an issue or a policy, the recent elections were about Donald Trump. He brought out the vote pro and con. To a further degree these elections were also about the politics of confrontation, the stepchild of former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. The commentariat is now close to uniformity i... more »
Do Multivitamins Actually Work?
I’m asked all the time if multivitamins work, if they improve the health of the person that’s taking them. I understand where the question comes from.

Latinos can be an electoral force in 2020
Lisa Garcia Bedolla, Chancellor's Professor of Education and Political Science, University of California, Berkeley at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 8 hours ago
Record high Latino participation shows this growing voter segment will turn out for parties and politicians who tackle issues they care about. That's a big lesson for 2020 – and not just for Dems.
Pressing the press
I watched the entirety of Donald Trump's post-midterm elections press conference tonight - as you too can do *here*. (In fact I greatly recommend it. It was very entertaining: Be warned though. It's nearly an half and a half long - though it will fly by). I heard Sky News and Channel 4 (Jon Snow) asking questions, but where were the beauties of the BBC? There was not a single question from the "world's most trusted". (Some other news organisation got today's 'another beauty' from President Trump instead). CNN's Jim Acosta and the President got into their usual verbal bare-knuckle... more »
Uzi: The Israeli Super Machine Gun That Conquered the World
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Uzi was a textbook example of a simple project successfully completed by a nascent arms industry. A well-designed, reliable submachine gun made of stamped parts, it was simple to build and had universal appeal. Although mostly out of service, the Uzi’s profile will be recognizable for decades to come. *Outside of Israel the Uzi proliferated widely, contributing to its global image. Countries as diverse as Japan, Germany, Belgium, Peru and Brazil all used the Uzi in their armed forces, as well as producing it under license. * One of the most recogniza... more »
Could a Navy Railgun “Blow the Top Off a Mountain”?
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * Maybe. *According to Fanta, most of the key technologies behind railguns—which have until now mostly been in the realm of science fiction—have been unlocked. * While the U.S. Navy had announced last year that it would take a prototype railgun to sea onboard the expeditionary fast transport USNS *Trenton* (JHSV-5) in 2016, the service may have to scupper those plans. *(This first appeared in 2016.)* If the Navy does take the railgun out to sea on a fast transport, it will be in 2017 at the earliest. In lieu of testing the prototype rail gun in an a... more »
With Democrats Winning The House Of Representatives, Russia Doubts That Trump And Putin Will Be Able To Reach Any Major Agreements In The Future
*CNN:* *Russia gloomy on US relations after Democrats take House in midterms* The Russian government has sent a message of pessimism on its relations with the United States after the Democrats seized control of the powerful House of Representatives in Tuesday's midterm elections. Results show the Democrats with a House majority, in a shakeup that could stymie President Donald Trump's legislative agenda. With control of the House, the Democrats could ramp up a probe into the possibility Trump's election campaign team colluded with the Russian government to win the White House in t... more »
