New Child Tax Credit: Your Next Stimulus Check Is In the Pipeline*Ethen Kim Lieser* *, * Biden previously noted that about ninety percent of all children in the United States will experience direct benefits from the recurring monthly checks. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Recent studies are also pointing to the likelihood that the child tax credits will give a major boost to the U.S. economy. Eligible parents of tens of millions of U.S. children are only days away from getting their hands on the second batch of cash payments from the expanded child tax credits. One important note to take away is that this upcoming payment will arrive o... read more

Open Letter By Cuban Scientists To BidenYou recently referred to Cuba at a White House saying: 'I would be prepared to give significant amounts of vaccines if… an international organization would administer those vaccines and do it in a way that average citizens would have access to those vaccines.' You also called Cuba a 'failed state'. These statements surprised many, including those in the U.S. who have first-hand exposure to Cuba's health system. They also rankled with frontline Cuban health workers risking their lives to contain the COVID epidemic in our country. They do not reflect Cuban reality, and we deplore th... read more

Black Lives Matter DC Responds To Brutal Beating Of Black Man by OfficerOn Sunday August 1, 2021 we were alerted to a video of a Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer brutally punching Kimon Johnson in the head in Southeast D.C. This kind of brutality is not new for MPD, in the District of Columbia, and certainly not near Good Hope Rd. and 16th St. Southeast, but it is always unacceptable. It mirrors the experience of Derrick “Quan” Johnson at almost the same location on December 26, 2019. Quan was also not charged for the original stop or the second retaliatory one. Like Quan, we are so very glad he is still alive. As we predicted, his respons... read more

The Big Issues
There are, Andrew Coyne writes, several big issues which should be debated in the upcoming election -- but probably won't be. Here are a few of them: 1. Deficits, Debt and Economic Growth Oh, they’ll all mention the deficit. But none of them will offer to do much about it. The most that any of the major parties will promise will be a (gently) declining debt-to-GDP ratio years from now, which itself would require corrective measures none of them will propose. You can grow your way out of debt -- either quickly or slowly: None of the parties will put forward anything that would do ... read more

Growing Neo-Colonial Instability Points To The Looming Civilizational Collapse Of Most Of The GlobeI say “most of the globe” because the 21st century civilizational collapse we’re in the early stages of isn’t going to be distributed evenly. Of course, in the long term the unraveling may catch up to even the most momentarily stable areas; as futurist William Gibson has said, “The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed.” Which can apply to the breakdown of peace and order as much as it can apply to the expansion of life-improving technologies. read more

"We Can Only Choose.."
"Our world is not safe. It is a toxic swamp populated by predators and parasites. The odds are stacked against us from the moment of conception. We survive only because we fight the elements, hunger, disease, each other. And, although civilization promises us safe harbor, that promise is a fairy tale. Only the storm is real. It comes for each of us. And we cannot win. We can only choose how we will suffer our defeat. We can meekly take our beatings, and die like lemmings, finding solace in the belief that we shall one day inherit the earth. Or, we can plunge into the chaos with eyes... read more

A recently leaked video sheds light on one of the F-35’s possible weapons configurations, previously dubbed as “beast mode” in a Lockheed Martin infographic.

Bullish Hammer in Gold Pointing to New All-Time Highs Before Year End.Bayou Renaissance Man1 day ago
Saturday morning snippet: Time for a lot of laughsLast week I came across two YouTube videos that had me rolling in the aisles. They're compilations of the greatest moments of comedy from the Pink Panther movie series, starring the late Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau, the bumbling detective who always creates mayhem and havoc, but somehow solves the crime anyway. The first video is the general comedy of the series. The second is every attack made on Clouseau by his manservant Cato (at Clouseau's direction, to keep his reflexes sharp - sort of). Together they add up to about an hour's viewing, all of it side-splitting. ... read more
