Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Happy Valentines Day to all *DWT* readers and true progressives everywhere. What better way to commemorate love than by showing this beautiful shot of two despots, a man and his protege in love. Now, if only Fred Trump had decided to come to America via the Titanic. Of course, he would have tried to get in a lifeboat by posing as a woman but I prefer to think that he would have made a nice meal for a 20-foot Greenland Shark that came up from the deep. Imagine how much better history might be.
The Philippines Is Standing Up For Its Sovereignty And Domestic Security

Greg Hunter, "Weekly News Wrap-Up 2/14/20"
*"Weekly News Wrap-Up 2/14/20"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "The Democrat attacks on President Trump continue with what appears to be a much more intense volume. This includes the mainstream media (MSM), which we all realize is nothing more than socialist Democrat New World Order Globalist propaganda. Why the intensified attacks? They are afraid of losing their power, kickback scams and freedom because some of them are going to jail for their crimes and hoaxes to remove a duly elected President from Office. Nothing is working to dump Trump. Trump is now beginning to fight back... more »

BWorld 410, PSA, PCC and competition
* My column in BusinessWorld last February 11. The Philippines continues to be among the laggards in East Asia in attracting more foreign direct investments (FDI). Data from the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Investment Report (WIR) show that our FDI inward stock, an indicator of cumulative foreign investments, was still below $90 billion in 2018 and only about 55% of that in Vietnam and Malaysia, 37% of that in Thailand. The only neighbors that we can “beat” as having lower FDI stocks are Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Brunei (see Table). Japan is not a maj... more »

Welfarism 35, Healthcare is not personal/parental responsibility, only state responsibility
The most socialistic sectors in society, that their services are not individual or parental or civil society responsibility but only state responsibility, are (1) education and (2) healthcare (HC). Free education until college, free HC until surgery and medicines. People can spend on nice gadgets and cool appliances, cars and travels, etc but they should not spend for their children's education and their own family's HC. Education and HC are rights and entitlements, not personal or household responsibility. Now more sectors are added to entitlements like housing, irrigation, etc. Lo... more »

Check out Russia's Big Stealth Plane and Aircraft Carrier Shopping List
*David Axe* *Security, Europe* A joke? *Key point:* Moscow wants all kinds of weapons, but it doesn't have the money. Russia will no doubt look after its security, just not in the way it would like to. The Russian armed forces have committed to a wide range of expensive acquisitions programs, in particular new ships and planes. The likely cost strains credulity. With a mere $70-billion annual budget, a tenth what the United States spends on its own military, the Kremlin is trying to match many of the Pentagon’s major ship and plane programs. There’s a new stealth fighter. An a... more »

Scrub From Your Mind: "Any Blue Will Do"
Good video, right? I *had* to get it up as soon as I could! Cute. But... Remember when you didn't vote for Mitt Romney in 2012? Would you vote for him now if it was between him and Trump? He voted good-- one time... and a few minutes later voted to find Trump not guilty on another charge. Still, it was kind a a half a profile in courage that day. And what about if he tagged a "D" next to his name the way Bloomberg has? I know there are plenty of people who would vote for him-- even gladly so-- and more so if he went the Bloomberg route. Trump's *that* horrible and that much of an... more »
