Up Close And Personal With Bernie In Iowa
Our old friend, Valley Girl, sent me this video with a note. All I can say is that I agree with her assessment and I'm more than happy to share it with you. Valley Girl wrote that she "found this, saw that it was 26 minutes long, and inwardly groaned because I am flat out worn out. I wasn't sure I had the attention span for it. But I started watching, and the time flew past. I just couldn't stop watching it. There were no surprises here in what Bernie said.

On The Amorality Of Libertarianism
Only those political outcomes that are achievable can be judged morally. A political outcome that is not achievable cannot be moral or immoral—it’s amoral. I see libertarianism as an amoral philosophy because the view of free society and free markets that the libertarians preach is too utopian and disingenuous to be achievable. The libertarians are mostly visionaries, they are aware of their own saintliness, and like all visionary saints, they are focused on the sublimity of their own vision—they have contempt for the opinions and concerns of the masses, and they don’t care about the... more »

Democrats have unveiled their articles of impeachment. They are, in what might be the understatement of the decade, incredibly weak. The first is ‘Abuse of Power’ stemming from a non-existent quid pro quo in the Ukraine phone call. There was no investigation, Ukraine got their aid, and – as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer – Trump was well within his purview to ask them to examine the Biden family’s affairs. Democrats don’t care. The second is ‘obstruction of Congress.’ This is based on the President’s refusal to let administration officials testify. Adam Schiff could ha... more »

When Will Pardons Come For Trump's Convicted Cronies? When It Serves Trump's Own Interests... And Not A Day Sooner (Or Later)
*FORE! by Nancy Ohanian* I think it's inevitable that Trump will pardon all his convicted criminal cronies who are in-- or soon ti be in-- prison. If the question is just when, count on hearing "demands" for a blanket pardon all over Fox News for a week or so "forcing Trump's hand." The White House will give Fox the signal when to begin the operation. *Politico* reporters Darren Samuelsohn and Meredith McGraw signaled the beginning of the build up on Monday morning, although no one thinks he will really get going until after Giuliani's trial-- or at least not until after the 2020 el... more »

Dec. 10: Our very rich - who own our major news media - have a dirty secret. They have been plundering us for well over 140 years.
Here's a story about Canada - much of which you are not likely to read or hear in Canadian news media. https://www.rt.com/op-ed/475065-canada-trudeau-new-cabinet/ True, though. Again, remember that Russia Times is essentially to point out faults of the western world - but not of Russia or China. I would not pay much attention to it's news of Russia or China. But I have found it's reporting on the west to be honest. Our western news is the one that lies to us. _________________________________________________________________ https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/475155-capitalism-economi... more »

Will Trump Get to Set the Terms for His Senate Impeachment Trial?
*Hunter DeRensis* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] With congressional Democrats looking to impeach Trump by Christmas, a clash in the Senate looms.

The proximate cause of the controversy was the dueling interpretations of it by Attorney General William P. Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray. The former casts doubt on the report, while the latter embraced i... more »

Polls Points To A Big Tory Win In UK Election This Thursday
*Zero Hedge/Mish Talks:* *Number-Crunching The Polls Points To Big Tory Win In UK Election* Martin Baxter's Electoral Calculus Model estimates a Tory majority of 46 based on opinion polls from 02 Dec 2019 to 07 Dec 2019, sampling 10,827 people. I arrive at 10,827 by discarding the Savanta ComRes poll highlighted in yellow. Baxter did not discard that poll out of bias but rather because there were two overlapping polls by the same pollster and he used the most recent one. I calculated the averages excluding Opinium because Opinium looks silly in relation to everything else. The n... more »

Analyzing the Articles of Impeachment
Before diving into the details of the two articles submitted today by House Democrats, I will make two points about the Trump impeachment that have been overlooked by most observers, especially (ahem) journalists. The articles of impeachment submitted today are arguably the first in American history not to be grounded ultimately in allegations that the president committed a federal crime or other violation of law. This single fact creates unique opportunities and challenges for both parties going forward. For Democrats, it means they do not have to worry about whether the establi... more »

The Corruption of the Mainstream Media
I don't want to sound like some sort of BBC obsessive, especially after writing about it very recently, but the shocking crap of the last couple of days has seen its news output sink to new depths. I am, of course, talking about the publicising of an assault on Matt Hancock's aide *that didn't take place*, but also ensured Monday's big story was diluted and, to a degree, buried as reporters like Laura Kuenssberg and ITV's Robert Peston uncritically jumped on it. But you know was well as me there's much more than this. To give one example from today, the BBC published a report resea... more »
