Europe Has no Freedom But to Choose "Freedom Gas"
*June 7, 2019* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - The US Department of Energy (DOE) recently renamed US liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports "freedom gas." But freedom for who?

Or freedom for Russia who supplies Europe with much of its natural gas to compete openly and fairly with the United States? Most definitely not. Or is it freedom *from *competition for the US? Yes, indeed. It is often contradictory branding t... more »

"Stuyvesant High Versus China Rail"
*"Stuyvesant High Versus China Rail"* by Fred Reed "China has an upcoming maglev train that will run at 373 miles an hour. By comparison, the United States increasingly looks like a country from an earlier age. Pop Quiz: Was this train engineered (a) by heartwarming, puzzled, oppressed, suffering, agonized minorities who ought to be making pizzas, or (b) by the brightest people China could find regardless sex, color, or “adversity quotient”? (If you choose (a) you are probably a Democrat.) *Diversity over Quality:* Perhaps it is time to recognize the stupid as an ethnic group. The... more »
Why Run For President? (Instead of for a Cabinet Position)
Imagine Jay Inslee saying, "Sure, I'd like to be President, but hey, the odds of that are pretty slim, and the fact of the matter is, I'd be pretty happy to be EPA administrator." (I'm reasonably sure that, if he's sensible, in the dark of the night Inslee thinks that already.) You can go through the list of Democratic candidates and assemble a pretty good, maybe even well-above-average, Cabinet: Kamala Harris for Attorney General; Pete Buttigieg for Secretary of State; Elizabeth Warren for Secretary of Treasury; and more. And any candidate who managed to pull this off -- that is, n... more »

U.S. Not Satisfied With Steps By Mexico To Curb Migrant Surge
*The Guardian:* *Mexico tightens southern border security as another day passes with no tariff deal* *Under pressure from Trump, Mexico has launched a crackdown on the Guatemala border, arresting activists and holding migrants.* As Donald Trump’s deadline for new tariffs on Mexican imports draws near, Mexico has stepped up security along its porous border with Guatemala – deploying police and soldiers to its southern frontier and arresting prominent migration activists.

Abortions Are Not Just For Women, Preaches HuffPost
PA Pundits - International at Flooding Ourselves With Valuable Water – PA Pundits – International - 23 hours ago
By Corinne Weaver ~ The pro-abortion movement is apparently not woke enough for the liberal media and LGBTQ community.

Ours is the frugality that will gather the eagles together
*No* greater disservice has been done to the Deity than the denial of His intent for the ages. It is unfortunate and I might add most inappropriate that human beings have also maligned His offspring--even those in the ascended state when these have desired only to grasp the highest principles, to convey them to men and to improve the lot of all people. For those who question Our motives the record will clearly reveal that We of the ascended hosts have sought to glimpse the higher glory and to transfer it to men, letting Our defense rest in the righteousness of an honest heart ... more »

WV Senate Can't Seem To Hear Teachers
It would be funny if it weren't so angrifying. But West Virginia's legislature is at it again. Back in February of 2018, the teachers of West Virginia were fed up. Low pay. Lack of support. Lack of respect. They were fed up enough that they staged an illegal wildcat strike that shut down every school district in the state. The governor and legislature backed down, and in short order, the teachers had won. Well, until they hadn't. Because when you strike during district contract negotiations, you get back to the table, settle a contract, sign, and you're done. One of the smaller less... more »
Thursday Evening Links
This and that for your Thursday reading. - Jonathan Aldred calls out the combination of handouts to the rich, cultivated attitudes of self-reliance and antisocial assumptions which have exacerbated inequality over the past few decades: European countries have, on average, more redistributive tax systems and more welfare benefits for the poor than the US, and therefore less inequality, after taxes and benefits. Many people see this outcome as a reflection of the different values that shape US and European societies. But cause-and-effect may run the other way: you-deserve-what-you-get... more »
