Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 5 hours ago

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/08/bidens-greatest-hits/? Biden falsely accused Trump of being late in imposing travel restrictions on China. In fact, the United States was not late getting off the mark compared with other countries around the world. In his campaign kickoff speech on April 29, 2019, Biden falsely claimed that “all of” the tax cuts signed into law by Trump “went to folks at the top and corporations that pay no taxes.” Those with higher incomes reaped greater benefits from the tax law, but most households received a tax cut.

Back in April, NWEA (the MAP test folks) issued a "report" about what we've taken to calling the Covid Slide, which is sadly not a cool new line dance, but is instead an important tool for people in education-flavored businesses who want to try to panic school districts and bureaucrats.

The State Laws That May Decide a Disputed 2020 Election

raltieri, Lawfare - 11 hours ago

The White House (APK, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:White_House_DC.JPG; CC BY-SA, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0). As the 2020 presidential election grows nearer, anxiety over the possibility of a disputed election has reached a fever pitch. And no one has done more to stir this anxiety than President Trump himself. For months, he has inveighed against the mail-in ballots that a substantial number of (disproportionately Democratic) voters are expected to use, leveling unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud and electoral insecurity. Most recently, he even ...

Why America Should Bring Home Its Nuclear Weapons

Zack Brown, The National Interest - 8 hours ago

*Zack Brown* *Security, Europe* Why American nuclear weapons in Europe no longer make sense. American tactical nuclear weapons in Europe have outlived their usefulness and should be brought home, argued Mike Sweeney, national security expert and fellow at the libertarian think tank, Defense Priorities. “It’s kind of a forgotten issue,” he explained in an interview with the podcast *Press the Button*. During the Cold War, the United States scattered scores of smaller, so-called “battlefield” nuclear weapons throughout NATO-aligned Europe to offset the conventional superiority of...

Kudos to Van Morrison and Eric Clapton for Trying to Save Live Music

Adam Dick, null - 9 hours ago

[image: undefined] Coronavirus crackdowns have been devastating to live music performances. Venues have been shut down. Large gatherings have been banned. Even when venues have been allowed to reopen, they have been subjected to occupancy limits and other restrictions that can prevent profitable operation. Watching a show while wearing a mask and trying to “social distance” can be a drag. Van Morrison and Eric Clapton are two marquee musicians who are saying enough already with the restrictions — let venues operate, musicians perform, and concertgoers attend performances normally. ...

Will the Pandemic Panic Card Win in 2020?

James Bovard, null - 9 hours ago

[image: undefined] “People want to be safe,” Joe Biden repeatedly declared in Tuesday night’s debate. The 2020 presidential race could turn into a referendum on whether vastly increasing government power can provide “freedom from fear.” This has been a recurring theme in recent American history that consistently brings out the worst in both politicians and voters. The 2020 presidential campaign thus far has plenty of unpleasant parallels to 9/11 and the 2004 election. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 were the biggest intelligence failure by US government agencies since P...

Historic Fires in the Amazon Rainforest Raise Risk of New Diseases

Kerry William Bowman, The National Interest - 9 hours ago

*Kerry William Bowman* *Environment, South America* Despite the surge in fires, international attention has waned in 2020, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet the degradation of the Amazon rainforest has profound consequences from climate change to global health. The fires in the Amazon region in 2019 were unprecedented in their destruction. Thousands of fires had burned more than 7,600 square kilometres by October that year. In 2020, things are no better and, in all likelihood, may be worse. According to the Global Fire Emissions Database project run by NASA, fires in the ...

The immoral face of capitalism - the Remington Arms bankruptcy

Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 8 hours ago

I've long argued that the activities of many private equity and leveraged buyout firms are immoral and unethical. Yes, I know that depends on who defines "ethical" or "moral" behavior. I'm a Christian and a pastor, so I apply Biblical definitions to those terms. Others differ, of course. Nevertheless, to see such firms buy a company, asset-strip it, load it up with debt (paying themselves out of the proceeds of such loans) and then abandon it to wither and die under an impossible financial burden, leaves a very sour, nasty taste in one's mouth. (It leaves an even worse one in t...

Two Years After Khashoggi’s Murder

Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago

Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered on October 2, 2018 by agents of Saudi Arabia’s despotic government, and the CIA concluded they killed him on direct orders from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). Eight Saudi men have been convicted of Khashoggi’s murder by a Saudi court in what the Washington Post characterized as sham trials with no transparency. The higher ups who ordered the murder, including MBS, continue to escape responsibility. The post Two Years After Khashoggi’s Murder appeared first on PopularResistance.Org.

Embassy Espionage, Contemplated Poisoning And Proposed Kidnapping

Today will be remembered as a grand expose. It was a direct, pointed accusation at the intentions of the US imperium which long for the scalp of the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. For WikiLeaks, it was a smouldering triumph, showing that the entire mission against Assange, from the start, has been a political one. The Australian publisher faces the incalculably dangerous prospect of 17 charges under the US Espionage Act and one under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Stripped to its elements, the indictment is merely violence kitted out in the vestment of sham legality. The rest...
