Sexism Had Little To Do With It.
You knew it was coming sooner or later, just like the sunrise: someone inside the democrat party blaming sexism for failed female presidential campaigns. I admit that part of me was disappointed to hear that Lizzy Warren was dropping out of the presidential race because I was looking forward to watching Liz and Bernie *politically destroy each* other and their party (during the convention) along with it. Her supporters wanted her to remain in the race in part because she was the last woman standing outside of Tulsi Gabbard , who is sticking around more or less as sand in the demo... more »

TUCKER CARLSON: BIDEN IS AN ALL-POWERFUL EVILDOER BECAUSE HE'S TOTALLY POWERLESS
Now that Joe Biden is the Democratic presidential front-runner, Fox News is ramping up its attacks on him. These attacks seem to be falling into two categories: Biden is an evil swamp creature and he's a senile old coot. Now, you'd think a senile old coot would have a hard time being an effective tool of the swamp or Deep State or whatever it is that Fox is calling it these days. But Tucker Carlson explained to his viewers last night that Biden's seemingly diminished mental agility *actually makes him a more dangerous swamp creature.* How is that possible? Let Carlson explain: ... ... more »
"Next Comes The 'Turbulent Twenties'”
*"Next Comes The 'Turbulent Twenties'”* by David Stockman "The coronavirus is now exposing a far more deadly disease: Namely, the poisonous brew of easy money, cheap debt, sweeping financialization and unbridled speculation that has been injected into the American economy by the Fed and Washington politicians. It has turned Wall Street into a dangerous gambling casino while leaving Main Street buried under mountainous debts, faltering investment in growth and productivity and the hand-to-mouth economics of spending more than you earn. It has also left the American economy exceeding... more »

Living by Chance, Loving by Choice
In the final analysis, we only regret the chances that we didn't take. It's true of adventures, voyages, cars we should have driven to excess, love we should have shared, and meals with more cholesterol and a pinch more salt than was medically advisable.

The Salisbury Poisonings Two Years On: A Riddle, Wrapped in a Cover Up, Inside a Hoax
[image: undefined] I’ve said some stupid things in my time, but up there with the best of them was a comment I uttered to my wife on the morning of Tuesday 6th March 2018. The previous night the news had broken that an ex-spy by the name of Sergei Skripal had apparently been one of two people hospitalised on the Sunday afternoon on a bench in The Maltings in Salisbury. At that time the opioid, Fentanyl, was thought to be connected to it. Was this about to be a huge international story? Or was it going to soon be forgotten about? I was decidedly of the latter opinion. “Don’t worry,” ... more »
