Biden v Trump-- Horrible v More Horrible..., The Ultimate Lesser Of 2 Evils Elect Set Up-- Don't Fall Into The Trap

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
Yesterday, on Fox, towards the end of his panel discussion, Chris Wallace asked Karl Rove if "Trump's continued targeting of Joe Biden may be the best thing Biden has going for him right now." Rove: "Well, it would be if Biden knew how to respond. The president started going after him the weekend of September 16th and his first real tough response was October 5th, delivered late in the afternoon on the West Coast so that none of us saw it, and it was, how dare you attack my family. Ironically, Biden's best defense would be to say, you know what, in retrospect I should have said ... more »

*The Mistake by the Lake* Of course, I'm writing about Cleveland, Ohio. 60% of the population works, 40% live in poverty and that includes some of the people who work. The city lost the bulk of its manufacturing as factories moved to China during the 8 miserable years of Obamanation. In 2010, Forbes listed Cleveland as the most miserable city in America. The blighted inner city's population has decreased to the point where the police have pronounced, "We used to be the murder capital of Ohio, but there is hardly anybody left to kill downtown.

“Reflect on what happens when a terrible winter blizzard strikes. You hear the weather warning but probably fail to act on it. The sky darkens. Then the storm hits with full fury, and the air is a howling whiteness. One by one, your links to the machine age breakdown. Electricity flickers out, cutting off the TV.

"The Repo Market Incident May Be The Tip Of The Iceberg"

*"The Repo Market Incident May Be The Tip Of The Iceberg"* by Daniel Lacalle "The Federal Reserve has injected $278 billion into the securities repurchase market for the first time. Numerous justifications have been provided to explain why this has happened and, more importantly, why it lasted for various days.

Democrats are also getting fed up with Congress crying "Wolf!"

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
A week ago, I noted that politicians on both sides of the aisle had been crying "Wolf!" for so long that the ordinary people of this country were becoming jaded, cynical and downright disgusted by their antics. That process appears to have been accelerating. I'm now seeing lifelong Democrats, who've been loyal to their party for decades (if not generations in their families), openly saying that the Democratic Party in Congress has gone way too far, and is destroying itself and this country. I'm even finding such comments in far-left-wing and progressive Web sites - not many of th... more »

North Korea’s Submarine-Launched Missile Test Violates the Gentleman’s Agreement with Trump

*Robert E. Kelly* *Security, Asia* President Trump seems to be very proud of the so-called promise North Korea made to not test long-range missiles. How close it Kim to breaking it?

Drought Uncovers ‘Spanish Stonehenge’ Hidden Underwater For Decades

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 18 hours ago
[image: Dolmen Of Guadalperal] Nice to see. It is far from robust in the scale of Stonehenge, but also was clearly structural which is not so obvious with Stonehenge. In fact the clear structural aspect strongly supports the idea that Stonehenge was also structural. Then consider Golbeki Tepe in which shaped upright stones were put in place as a clearly dominant feature. This is a tradition that could easily be transmitted all over Eurasia. Of course, we are arguing here is that such a tradition lived from 9000 BC to around 2500 BC. Yet this is presently defined as the pre ... more »
