Are the Tories Permanently Screwed?
Turmoil begets turmoil. We in the Labour Party know a bit about that thanks to two years of factional bloodletting, but now the Tories are setting about demonstrating how it should be done. With the billion quid signed off to Northern Ireland for the DUP's grubby support, it seems every minister in earshot of a mic is letting it be known they're pressing for more cash for their departments. Pleasingly, where there is turmoil there is incompetence. Never in anything but bountiful supply among Tory politicians, it transpires that the Prime Minister was contriving ... more »

Trump, Of Course, Is His Own Worst Enemy, Though That's Getting To Be A Very Competitive Position
Yesterday John Kasich told Marrtha Raddatz that the "coarseness" of the Trumpanzee tweets "is not acceptable." Oh, really? Not acceptable to who? It appears acceptable enough to the 35% of Americans-- Trump's core-- who say they still approve of Trump's performance in office. Oklahoma comedian and writer Amanda Kerri isn't one of them. In an OpEd in *The Advocate* last month, The Simple Truth on Trump: He's Dumb as Rocks, Kerri concluded that "coarseness" is far from the worst of Trump's many defects. She seems pretty certain, in fact, that El Señor "is probably the dumbest man al... more »
The Lost Adams - Part One
(*Blogger’s Note:* As those of you who visit here regularly know, I’m also a fan of tales of lost gold mines and buried treasure and in fact, in 1995 wrote a book cleverly named *Lost Gold and Buried Treasure*. The first story in the book dealt with the Lost Adams and in the last couple of days, while working on my book about the Socorro UFO landing, I had the opportunity to learn a little more about the Lost Adams. Here, then, is the tale as told in that book, updated with the information that I learned while communicating with Paul Harden, he of Socorro and combined with other inf... more »
Greg Hunter, “Next Market Meltdown Means Frozen Financial System”
*“Next Market Meltdown Means Frozen Financial System”* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Market analyst Lynette Zang has deep Wall Street experience and is starting to see a worse setup than just before the 2008 market meltdown. Zang explains, “The dollar is weak. All that is dog and pony. The real thing is they can’t stimulate the economy by growing any more debt. The system is based on compounding debt. So, it has to reset, and any wealth that is in the system gets reset too. They can keep the game going until confidence is lost. Once confidence is lost, it’s over, and I do think... more »

Anesthetizing Outrage
It was shocking enough that he accused a female colleague in the NBC infotainment family of copiously bleeding from a face-lift. But not content with that gleeful provocation, Donald Trump has finally gone over the edge in what's being ballyhooed as the ultimate faux pas of his entire presidency. Trump actually sent out a video of himself mock-pummeling a WWE star whose face was replaced with *the sacred CNN logo.* How dare he terrorize the Terror Channel, whose patriotic neoliberal purpose is to sell endless bloody war and domestic paranoia on behalf of the Military-Industrial Comp... more »

A Rare Albino-like Bald Eagle Makes Its Appearance in Washington State
Talk about an odd bird—a bald eagle with white spots has been seen in Washington State. Photographers Chris Teren and Traci Walter snapped the bird feeding on the Nooksack River, near Bellingham. "It was chaotic, with eagles flying and calling everywhere, then in came this eagle. It didn't take me long to figure out what we saw was something very special," Walter told National Geographic News by email. "I was so excited, but I contained myself and focused on this eagle, and wound up with some great shots. I have seen a couple leucistic animals before, and figured that's what was g... more »

Energy 97, Solar can replace coal power in the PH?
There is a funny claim by the President of Solar Philippines, also son of Sen. Loren Legarda, Leandro Leviste. Reported in BWorld today. Look at his claim: solar at P5.39/kWh vs average generation cost from different sources at P8.17/kWh. These numbers seem like jokes. Here’s why. 1. The average generation charges of Meralco were P4.85/kWh in May and P4.37/kWh in June 2017, which already includes the more expensive peaking plants. These are almost half of Mr. Leviste’s P8.17/kWh data. Where did he get that number, perhaps from one of the inefficient electric cooperatives in the co...more »
