DEMOCRATS ABASE THEMSELVES IN UTAH, PROBABLY FOR NOTHING
Walter Shapiro thinks this is a great idea: At [their] convention, Utah Democrats opted by a 782-to-594 vote not to endorse their own candidate for the Senate seat held by embattled right-winger Mike Lee. Instead, Utah Democrats endorsed the independent candidacy of Evan McMullin, a former CIA agent who ran as a never-Trump Republican protest candidate in the 2016 presidential election. At first glance, this looks like a gesture of abject surrender by a Democratic Party that last elected a Utah senator in 1970.

The RF also launched several axes of attack, with reinforcements on standby (including a famed 40km long tank column), to see where they might be needed. Crucially—the Russian's blitz on sever... read more

Hey, Bernie, Make It A Real Single Payer Bill…No Profits
Senator Bernie Sanders has announced that he is going to introduce his Medicare for All bill in the Senate—and hold a hearing. This is most welcome news. As Bernie campaigned for the presidency, he elevated national single payer health care, an improved Medicare for All, into the public spotlight and onto the nation’s agenda. His advocacy for Medicare for All informed millions and lifted spirits building hope that a universal single payer plan is possible in the US. He has not done that well at writing legislation. His most recent bill, the Medicare for All Act of 2019 (S. 1129)... read more
Winning Against The Odds: The 32BJ SEIU Organizing Model
The fight for the PRO Act must come with a strategic recommitment from unions to organize the unorganized, despite the current obstacles. International unions must work with local unions, which is where the bulk of the money and resources are, to build organizing capacity now, so that labor can grow with or without the PRO Act. Unions must craft strategies and commit the resources needed to launch organizing campaigns that can build union density, while also providing the street heat that can force labor law reform. This will both improve workers’ lives and ensure that labor has ... read more
The World’s First Ohlone Restaurant Is Opening Soon At UC Berkeley. Can It Overcome The Location’s Painful History?
Dolores Lameira Galvan, 91, remembers hearing from her mother, aunts and uncles about their time working as housekeepers and laborers at Phoebe Apperson Hearst’s opulent mansion in what is now Pleasanton. She still prefers not to speak of the time her Ohlone family spent as servants on what had been the Indigenous people’s own land, says her nephew, Vincent Medina. For the Ohlone, it represents just one painful chapter in hundreds of years’ worth of trauma and loss in the East Bay and beyond. But decades later, Medina is working to reclaim his tribe’s history by opening the world... read more

REPORT, U.S. Gas Exports are Triple U.S. Gas Production, Low Gas Reserves Now Sends Prices Soaring
Another item in the long list of ‘thanks Joe Biden‘ stuff. Shortages in natural gas in windmill chasing Europe have driven up the prices significantly. The conflict between NATO and their targeted villain in Russia is only making matters worse. As the EU prices jump to $33/$34 per million British thermal units (BTU’s), the U.S. […] The post REPORT, U.S. Gas Exports are Triple U.S. Gas Production, Low Gas Reserves Now Sends Prices Soaring appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more

Billionaires Only Come To The Rescue In Movies And Comic Books
Rightists are having a merry old time making fun of the melodramatic reactions from high-profile liberals who fear Elon Musk's purchase will lead to more free speech on the platform for people who don't align with them politically, and many of the blue-checkmarked commentariat who live on Twitter and can't go five minutes without checking their notifications are making a big show of pretending they're about to leave. read more

"The Illusion of Freedom: We’re Only as Free as the Government Allows"
"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face forever." George Orwell, "1984" *"The Illusion of Freedom: * *We’re Only as Free as the Government Allows"* by John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead “Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter. Sooner or later, the people in this country are gonna realize the government doesn’t care about you, or your childre... read more
"You Think..."
"You think you will never forget any of this, you will remember it always just the way it was. But you can't remember it the way it was. To know it, you have to be living in the presence of it right as it is happening. It can return only by surprise. Speaking of these things tells you that there are no words for them that are equal to them or that can restore them to your mind. And so you have a life that you are living only now, now and now and now, gone before you can speak of it, and you must be thankful for living day by day, moment by moment, in this presence. But you have a li... read more

Dems in decline
Steve Feinstein: From a straight political standpoint, things are not going well for the Democrats. It’s difficult to cite a time in post-World War II America when so many things on so many fronts went this badly this quickly, and the voting public knows it’s their fault: - Inflation at 40-year highs and spiking energy prices - Out of control illegal immigration, being encouraged by Democrats to bolster liberal voting rolls - Weakened military, with an inexplicable emphasis on woke social issues instead of combat readiness - Crime running rampant, with many big-c... read more

The Democrats war on energy
Power the Future: John Kerry is showing everyone the Biden administration’s true colors again. He told the media that the natural gas industry has to figure out carbon capture technology in the next decade, while also saying they shouldn’t get the infrastructure they need to operate. John Kerry’s misguided claims about the industry represent the administration’s continuing failure to understand they can’t have it both ways. On Thursday, Kerry told Bloomberg TV: *“We have to put the industry on notice: You’ve got six years, eight years, no more than 10 years or so, within which y... read more

The left's fear of losing control of the narrative
Jonathon Turley: "A brave new nightmare.” Those words from former Labor Secretary Robert Reich described the threat created by Elon Musk's bid to restore free speech values by buying Twitter. Yet, despite warnings that censorship is necessary “for democracy to survive,” neither the Tesla CEO and billionaire nor ordinary citizens appear to be sufficiently terrified of free speech. Twitter confirmed Monday that Musk will acquire the company in a deal worth $44 billion. Once the deal is complete, Twitter will become a privately held company. Progressives, in the meantime, have adop... read more
