With RussiaGate Over Where’s Hillary?
[image: undefined] During most of the RussiaGate investigation against Donald Trump, I kept saying that all roads lead to Hillary Clinton. Anyone with three working brain cells knew this, including ‘Miss’ Maddow, whose tears of disappointment are particularly delicious. Robert Mueller’s investigation was designed from the beginning to create something out of nothing. It did this admirably. It was so effective it paralyzed the country for more than two years, just like Europe has been held hostage by Brexit. And all of this because, in the end, the elites I call The Davos Crowd refu... more »
Borenstein Tries The Daily Records Con
By Paul Homewood Another remarkably dishonest and deceitful piece, even by Seth Borenstein standards. That it should be aided and abetted by NOAA is shameful: Over the past 20 years, Americans have been twice as likely to sweat through record-breaking heat rather than shiver through record-setting cold, a new Associated Press data analysis shows.

*"If the west resorts to tribalism to defend civilisation, then civilisation is already irredeemably lost."* ~ Yaron Brook It takes some time to decompress after an atrocity like Christchurch. Too easy to talk too soon instead of to mourn, to reflect, to maybe try to draw a few lessons that might help you process what happened, and maybe even to make some things better. After Christchurch, after nine days of listening, of thinking, of reflection, it seems to me that there is one lesson above all we need to draw from the slaughter: that identifying civilisation by means of race -- ... more »
Reactionary Blue Dogs And Wall Street-Owned Corporate Dems Want You To Know They're Not Socialists
*Blue Dog Max Rose and progressive Democrat Ilhan Omar* It should be no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention that the Republicans are going to run against Democrats next year by asserting they're all "socialists" who want to turn the U.S. into Venezuela. I asked Alan Grayson about the problem that Democratic candidates will be facing as they endeavor to combat these pernicious tactics. He told me he sees it as "part of a conscious propaganda strategy in demonizing Democrats, formerly known as McCarthyism.

Will California marijuana excise tax go up July 1?
Although the California marijuana industry has hoped for tax relief as it struggles to compete with a thriving illicit market, a tax increase could be on the way.

But an increase […] Will California marijuana excise tax go up July 1? is a post from: Marijuana Business Daily: Financial, Legal & Cannabusiness news for cannabis entrepreneurs

Goodhart's Law And The BS Test
When discussing the problems of test-based accountability, we've long used Campbell's Law as the go-to framer of the related problems. For the absolute top of the field, get a copy of *The Testing Charade* by Danielk Koretz. Campbell's law is not very pithy, but it illuminates beautifully: The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor. Campbell was a social scientist, and though he died before the moder... more »
