Voter Rejection Of The Republican Party Will Be Massive-- But How Massive?
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 3 minutes ago
I've been writing a lot about Trump's electoral toxicity and how his defeat is going to crash the Republican Party-- losing them the Senate, dozens more House seats and even more dozens of state legislative seats, including flipped chambers. But how do we know? I mean it makes sense that what we see coming is an anti-red tsunami not just an anti-Trump tsunami and that voters are going to take out his enablers as well as him. You see it among the Lincoln Project GOP elites for example, where they are churning out anti-Trump ads *and* ads aimed at vulnerable Republican senators wh...

Bienvenido Oplas Jr, Government and Taxes - 26 minutes ago
* My article in BusinessWorld, October 01, 2020. Among the big headlines this week is the report that President Rodrigo Duterte is considering the environmentalists’ lobby to declare a “climate emergency.” Greenpeace in particular lobbies to phase out or kill coal and other fossil fuel power, mining. They want to plunge the country in blackout-friendly intermittent, variable renewable energies (VREs) like wind, solar and biomass. The endless lobby to demonize fossil fuels, mining, conventional vehicles running on oil, related measures are based on a very opportunistic, corrupt, ...
Sky and Earth: The Parents of the Sun
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 52 minutes ago
Three thousand years ago, the composers of the *Rigveda *imagined the morning sun as a child born from the union of sky, the father, and earth, the mother. The hundred-sixtieth hymn in the *Rigveda’s *first mandala depicts the sky and earth as the two divinities who are the sun’s parents. The sky is the abode of eternality where the sun resides, while the earth is the abode of mortality where the humans and other creatures reside. This hymn is credited to Rishi Dīrghatamas, who belongs to the Angirasa clan, one of the oldest Rishi families in the Vedic tradition, and known for his ...

WWI Question: Was the "Western Betrayal" of Eastern Europe Really a Betrayal?
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Great Britain’s position in Europe had been compromised by the war between Russia and Germany. The winner would control Europe’s heartland, and short of a war with the Soviet Union there was very little the Western democracies could do about it. British historian Alan Clark wrote in his book *Barbarossa*, “Roosevelt’s betrayal of Eastern Europe, whether out of calculation or gullibility, is so notorious as to need no further recapitulation.” National pride is a bitter pill to swallow. Some of the bitterness go...
