  1. I'm not a Jill Stein supporter, but it's important for people to vote their conscience for so-called 3rd party candidates. If enough votes are cast for people like Jill Stein, eventually they will be able to break the uni-party monopoly in U.S. elections.

  2. “The Jews, I find are very, very selfish,” Truman wrote on July 21. “They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as D[isplaced] P[ersons] as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the underdog." - President Harry S. Truman (diary, 21 July 1947) Looks like good old HST had the right idea about them.

  5. “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.” -- C. S. Lewis, English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)

To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” -- C. S. Lewis, English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)

  9. Ashkenazi “Jews” are NOT biblical Israelites. Instead of being primarily the descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel, present-day Jewish populations are primarily descendants of Turkish peoples who lived in what is now Russia, north of Georgia, east of Ukraine. Indeed, a substantial proportion of the population originates from local Europeans who converted to Judaism. In fact, more than 80% of Ashkenazi DNA has European ancestry on the maternal side. The real question is not, “Are these people Jews?”, but rather, “Are these people Americans?” And the answer is obviously NOT. Their everyday language isn’t English, but Yiddish, a vernacular based on High German fused with many elements taken from Hebrew and to some extent Aramaic. Yiddish originated in 9th century Central/Eastern Europe, and these Ashkenazi brought it over to America from there. Being an American entails MORE than simply having been physically born here. It involves embracing the American culture and way of life, not importing a foreign culture and language into a new country. Again, this isn’t about religion—people are free to practice (or not) any form of worship they choose. Just because a people may have adopted rabbinic Judaism as their religion does NOT make them the physical posterity of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Nor does it give them any right or claim to the land of Palestine. They need to return to eastern Europe and the Caucasus whence they originated.

  18.  @angelduarte4143  Actually, the USSR was the first nation to recognize the new state of Israel. The Soviets were hoping that the new Jewish state would become a socialist ally in the Middle East, since so many Soviet Jews had emigrated to Israel after WWII. Didn’t quite work out that way. Truman recognized Israel for only 2 reasons: Jewish money and Jewish votes in the upcoming 1948 election. Sad but true. But old HST still spoke the truth about their behavior.

  42. The 2-meter (6.5 feet) "social distance" requirement is just eye-candy for the masses. Most medical experts agree that to be effective in reducing transmission rates, the minimum distance would have to be about 8 meters (26.5 feet). Obviously, that distance would be both impractical and unenforceable, hence the arbitrary 2-meter requirement. Dr. Lydia Bourouiba, an associate professor at MIT, has researched the dynamics of exhalations (coughs and sneezes, for instance) for years at The Fluid Dynamics of Disease Transmission Laboratory and found exhalations cause gaseous clouds that can travel up to 27 feet. Efficient mask usage and adequate ventilation are far more important and effective at reducing transmission than this arbitrary and fanciful 2-meter distance.

  43.  @Jay...777  Consider the evolution of the term "liberal" over the past 3 centuries. At one time, Liberalism signified a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. Liberals espoused a wide array of views, depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally supported limited government, individual rights, democracy, secularism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and a market economy with a minimum of government interference. Fast forward to the 21st century, and the term "liberalism" has morphed into a philosophy favoring big, pervasive government, aggressive foreign interventionism (especially neo-liberalism, which is a bedfellow with neo-conservatism), social engineering, enormous government (deficit) spending, erosion of privacy rights and economic freedom, and an authoritarian statist regime, regardless of which major party happens to be in power. IOW, Joe Biden is merely a demented version of Donald Trump with an active Twitter account. Cheers.

  45. Some clarification is necessary. On 12 November 2014, Azov was incorporated into the National Guard of Ukraine, and since then all members are contract soldiers serving in the National Guard of Ukraine. In 2014, a spokesman for the regiment said around 10–20% of the unit were neo-Nazis. In 2018, a provision in an appropriations bill passed by the U.S. Congress blocked military aid to Azov on the grounds of its white supremacist ideology, however in 2015 a similar ban on aid to the group was overturned by the Congress. Members of the regiment come from 22 countries and are of various backgrounds. More than half of the regiment's members speak Russian and come from eastern Ukraine, including the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk. Despite accusations that the group is anti-Semitic, some members of the Jewish community in Ukraine support and serve in the Azov Battalion. One of its most prominent members is Nathan Khazin, leader of the "Jewish hundreds" during the 2013 Euromaidan protests in Kyiv. Truth is not always easy to define in such a muddled situation.

They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth." ― Robert A. Heinlein, To Sail Beyond the Sunset (1987)

  57. For ONCE in his life, JB has a valid point. Russia HAS to take Ukraine in order to secure the choke point(s) she formerly held during her days as the USSR. Before the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia held all 9 (land) choke points. After the breakup, Russia was reduced to only 1. As a land power, Russia is inherently vulnerable. It sits on the European plain with few natural barriers to stop an enemy coming from the west. East of the Carpathian Mountains, the plain pivots southward, and the door to Russia opens. It should be no surprise then that Russia’s national strategy is to move its frontier as far west as possible. The first tier of countries on the European Peninsula’s eastern edge—the Baltics, Belarus, and Ukraine—provide depth from which Russia can protect itself, and also provide additional economic opportunities. With regard to the current battle over Ukraine, the Russians have to assume that the Euro-American interest in creating a pro-Western regime has a purpose beyond Ukraine. From the Russian point of view, not only have they lost a critical buffer zone, but Ukrainian forces hostile to Russia have moved toward the Russian border. FYI, from Kharkiv to Moscow is only 648km (403 miles). At the same time, the West cannot assume that Russia—if it reclaims Ukraine—will stop there. Therefore, we are in the classic case where two forces assume the worst about each other. But Russia occupies the weaker position, having lost the first tier of the European Peninsula. It is struggling to maintain the physical integrity of the Motherland. Russia is a relatively poor nation. Therefore, it isn’t prosperity that binds the country together, but a shared idealized vision of and loyalty toward Mother Russia. And in this sense, there is a deep chasm between both Europe and the United States (which use prosperity as a justification for loyalty) and Russia (for whom loyalty derives from the power of the state and the inherent definition of being Russian). Russia must expand or die--it's as simple as that. And both parties know this to be true. Therefore, unless some type of peace treaty can be negotiated between all concerned parties, military conflict between the USA/NATO and Russia is inevitable. Have a nice day.

  62.  @bobiel9048  I'm already "educated," friend. Whatever "democracy" we did have was extinguished in 1963, when the ruling oligarchy (CIA, MIC, etc.) eliminated JFK. Since then, whichever party has been in power is the servant of that oligarchy. We currently reside in a welfare/warfare state, not a democracy or republic. The government serves the oligarchy and vice versa. To cast a vote for either major party is in reality to cast a vote for the "uniparty." Sad, but true.

  67. An electromagnetic field (EMF) is an area of moving electrical charges. Some EMFs, especially those involving ionizing radiation, can be harmful. For most people, exposure to EMFs occurs on a daily basis, as the fields are virtually everywhere. These fields can come from natural sources, such as thunderstorms, or they may be manufactured, as are radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays, for example. According to some "experts," EMFs from manufactured sources, such as microwaves, do not damage human health at the level of exposure that people experience on a day-to-day basis. However, there is no unanimity of opinion in this matter. There are two types of EMF. One has the capacity to break chemical bonds (ionizing) and the other does not (non-ionizing). Fields of ionizing radiation have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. The energy from this type of radiation can remove electrons from atoms, including those comprising water and living tissue. This breaks chemical bonds. In the human body, high doses of ionizing radiation can prompt unstable atoms called free radicals to cause oxidative damage. Some more common sources of ionizing radiation are gamma rays, which can help treat cancer, and X-rays. Visible light exists toward the middle of the spectrum, marking the dividing line between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. High-band 5G uses frequencies of 24–47 GHz, near the bottom of the millimeter wave band, although higher frequencies may be used in the future. The spectrum ranging from 24.25 to 29.5 GHz has been the most licensed and deployed 5G mmWave spectrum range in the world. These high-band frequencies have the potential to adversely affect human health, according to some "experts." Health concerns aside, the introduction of 5G has created some cybersecurity risks, notes the U.S. Department of Homeland and Security. One fear is malicious software and hardware being introduced into the 5G supply chain. Plus, 5G uses more information than previous technologies, which leaves more room for error. Because of these concerns, the department has developed a set of strategic standards designed to mitigate risk. While concerns regarding hackers using 5G to steal data or too many people texting in-flight are valid, when it comes to potential effects on your health, the evidence goes both ways. The fact that 5G technology has been rolled out without sufficient studies on how it may impact human health is a major red flag.

  86.  @Jay...777  Such a scenario as you describe could only be possible with the support and consent of both house of Congress, as well as the Executive branch of government. Being that the oligarchy controls all branches of government, it is doubtful that such a thing would be allowed to pass into law. FYI, the ancient Hebrews had what was called the “Year of Jubilee,” whereby every 50 years all debts were cancelled, all slaves and/or indentured servants were set free and allowed to return to their families, and all properties had to be ceded back to their original owners. God commanded this of the Hebrews, and their failure to do so was one of the reasons they went into captivity. Our whole system is one of legalized indebtedness, which, short of worldwide calamity, will never be allowed to be extinguished. Cheers.

  107.  @joelpettlon9650  "Potentially true"? That is a contradiction both in terms and logic. Either a thing is true or a thing is false. It's like a light switch--either on or off. There is no middle ground. You cannot say that something is "true for me" but not "true for you." That's like trying to insist that the law of gravity applies to me, but not to you. Try walking off the ledge of a 10-story building and then see if the law of gravity (actually Newton's law of acceleration) doesn't apply to you, no matter what you believe. (FYI, a falling object accelerates at 9.8 m/s2). Concerning these "omnipotent moral busybodies" of which C.S. Lewis spoke, he wasn't critical of their "good deeds," but rather he opposed their attitude of superiority and exclusivity, as if they had the corner on moral excellence and the rest of us were compelled to kowtow to their dictates. And there is no such thing as the "doing of collective good." That statement of yours tells me all I need to know about your political leanings. INDIVIDUALS do good deeds of their own free will. Anything else is tyranny. I would strongly urge you to take some courses in logic and philosophy.

  108.  @Nikosi9  "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.'" (Psalm 14:1) So, I guess that you have two options, friend. Either you humble yourself before the Almighty and acknowledge him for who he is. Or, you take your place with the rest of those foolish people that deny Him. The choice is yours. God isn't going to drag anyone kicking and screaming into his kingdom. It's not that people CAN'T believe in God--it's that they WON'T believe. Or to quote renowned British biologist, scholar and humanist, Sir Julian Huxley, "I suppose the reason we (atheists) leaped at (Darwin's) The Origin of Species was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores." Well, I can't agree with his decision, but I have to at least acknowledge his honesty and candor. As a former agnostic myself, the reason I resisted coming to faith in God wasn't for some "intellectual" or esoteric reasons about his existence and reality. It was, as is probably the case with most so-called "atheists," that I rebelled at the idea of my having to be accountable to any higher power or authority, from whom there is no appeal or escape. Why, how dare God judge ME, of all people! The idea of me seeking for God was akin to the idea of a mouse searching for a cat. I wanted no part of a holy and righteous Creator. But then the grace (unmerited favor) of God sought me out and revealed my abject condition and demonstrated his love toward this wretched man, in that while I was yet a sinner, Christ died for ME. But, one may ask, how does one actually believe? Romans 10:9-10 has the answer: "...that if you shall confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and shall believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved, for with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." BTW, I checked just this morning, and, yep, God is still there. Cheers.

  116. Interestingly, the use of disinformation as a tactical weapon started in 1923 in the Soviet Union, when it became a tactic used in Soviet political warfare called "active measures." The deputy chairman of the KGB-precursor State Political Directorate (GPU), Józef Unszlicht, called for the foundation of "a special disinformation office to conduct active intelligence operations". Active measures is a term used to describe political warfare conducted by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The term, which, as stated above, dates back to the 1920's, includes operations such as espionage, propaganda, sabotage and assassination, based on foreign policy objectives of the Soviet and Russian governments. Hmm....sounds vaguely familiar somehow, eh? Has the U.S. government copied the same tactics from its old rival, the USSR? Nah, couldn't be.

  169. Germany has long had the most restriction-free and consumer-oriented healthcare system in Europe. Patients are allowed to seek almost any type of care they wish whenever they want it. The German system is a multi-payer healthcare system (NOTE: not a single-payer system like U.S. MediCare, or the NHS in the UK), paid for by a combination of statutory health insurance and private health insurance. As of 2009, health insurance is compulsory for the whole population in Germany, no exceptions. But German citizens are free to choose among a combination of public and/or private non-profit "sickness funds" at common rates for all members, and is paid for with joint employer-employee contributions. IOW, the employer and employee each pay 50% of the total premium(s). This is a far cry from the monstrosity system that Bernie Sanders is advocated, which would have bankrupted the USA in short order. The Netherlands and Switzerland have systems very similar to the American Affordable Care Act (ACA), in that health insurance is mandated (and strictly enforced) to all citizens, but insurance is not provided by the government. Citizens are free to purchase insurance through whatever company they choose. Just like the ACA, insurance premiums are partially funded through subsidies provided by the government (through taxes) so that policies are truly affordable for everyone. Then you have a system like Denmark's, which is your typical tax-funded state-run universal health care system. Denmark provides “free” health care to all residents, funded through taxes. But at what price? The Danish health care system is not cheap. According to OECD’s Health Data 2009, Denmark’s health cost per person, public and private, was $3,512. However, Denmark has some of the highest taxes in the world, and as such, the average Dane pays a total amount of 45 percent in income taxes. By contrast, for tax year 2021, the top marginal U.S. rate is 37% (on incomes over $612,000), and very few actually fall into that category. The married filing jointly couples in the U.S. pay a marginal rate of 22% on incomes between $81,050 - $172,750. Essentially, half of what the Danes pay. How many Americans would be willing to double their tax burden in order to mimic the Danish healthcare system? You tell me. Personally, I'd favor the German-style system, as it delivers the most for the least amount of money.

  175. The President’s pardon power extends to offenses committed in the District of Columbia. [United States v. Perkins (1885).] However, it does not extend to violations of state laws. The pardon power of the president is based on Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution, which provides: “The President ... shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the UNITED STATES, except in Cases of impeachment.” Therefore, recipients of Presidential pardons do not necessarily receive immunity from state prosecution for the same offenses or alleged offenses.

  186. As for the supposed Biblical claim (for zionism), Jewish Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss explains: “Zionism is only around 100 years old. It is the transformation from religion to nationalism, to materialism created by non-religious Jews who hated their religion. The reason why they use the name Israel, the Star of David, hijacking, stealing the identity of Judaism and the Jewish people is in order to gain a legitimacy for their existence that should lead people to say, ‘oh, it is God given to them’ and that they should use fear and intimidate people from speaking out against their actions because they will call those that do anti-Semitic; it couldn’t be anything further from the Truth.” Zionists used two major justifications for occupying Palestine: 1) The Biblical claim of Palestine belonging exclusively to the Jews; 2) The Persecution of the Jews in Europe. The true descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were commanded by G-d to remain in the (gentile) nations to which they had been scattered by divine decree. There will yet be a future regathering of dispersed Israel, not by military or political machinations, but by a sovereign act of HaShem. See Deut. 30:1-6, Isa. 41:8-9, Isa. 43:5-6, and especially Ezek. 28:25-26, which reads: "Thus says the Lord GOD: 'When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am hallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, THEN they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob. And they will dwell safely there, build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the LORD their God.'" I ask you now, is Israel currently dwelling securely in peace? Are they that all-righteous nation of which the scriptures speak? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding NO. In Isaiah 19:24 we read, "In that day Israel will be the third part with Egypt and Assyria (Iraq), a blessing in the midst of the earth." Has that happened yet? The answer is obvious.

  203. The (same) 2016 directive centered around intelligence gathering, with no mention of lethal force. The 2024 update introduces a dramatic shift, particularly regarding domestic operations. Section 3.3.a.(2)(c) now explicitly permits lethal force in cases of imminent threats or national security emergencies, provided the action complies with legal oversight, specifically DoDD 5210.56, which governs the use of deadly force by DoD personnel. Key updates include: --Use of lethal force: The directive allows military intelligence components to assist law enforcement in operations that involve lethal force. --Conditions for force: The directive specifies lethal force can be used under conditions involving "imminent threats." (as defined by them) --Legal oversight: Any use of lethal force must comply with DoDD 5210.56, ensuring proper legal frameworks are followed. No small coincidence that this directive was updated 27 Sept 2024, shortly AFTER Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic Party nomination on August 22, 2024.

  209. Solar farm in the middle of Nebraska? This particular facility is/was located in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. The storm in question occurred on June 29, 2023, so they've had plenty of time to accomplish repairs. But I have to question the wisdom of locating this solar farm in the middle of tornado alley, an area that is regularly subject to violent storms. Plus, on average, there are only 224 sunny days per year in Scottsbluff. Maybe they should try someplace in southern New Mexico, where there are nearly 300 sunny days per year. Poor planning, if you ask me.

  211.  @Nikosi9  The word "atheist" is derived from the Greek term "a" (meaning without), and "theos" (meaning God). So, by definition, an "atheist" is one who is "without God," a perfect description of people such as yourself. BTW, you'll be without God, not only in this life, but also, unless you repent and believe, for all eternity. So you had better enjoy things in the here and now, because it's the best you'll ever have.

  234. So-called "capitalism" and so-called "communism" are but two opposite sides of the same rotten coin, which is why each philosophy uses the other to define itself. In its present form, capitalism (as opposed to entrepreneurial free enterprise) promotes the consolidation of economic assets and power into the hands of a small, powerful, private oligarchy. Whereas communism promotes the consolidation of the aforementioned assets and power into the hands of an elitist State oligarchy, such as existed in the former USSR from 1917-1991. Do a search on the term "nomenklatura" for further proof. Same dance, different players, same end results. Do not suppose that the so-called "capitalist" giants of the 20th century were at all opposed to Soviet communism. Quite the contrary. Henry Ford, for example, had a very cordial (and profitable) relationship with Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. Monopolists, whether capitalist or communist, think alike and coexist with one another quite amiably. Thomas Jefferson's view on the economy of the new United States was that the federal economy should be kept "rigorously frugal and simple." He envisioned the states being able to run their own economies with minimal interference from Washington policy makers, and he opposed the establishment of a central bank. A far cry from today's warfare/welfare system that is the modern USA. Gen. Robert E. Lee echoed Jefferson's sentiments many years later: “The consolidation of the States into one vast empire, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of ruin which has overwhelmed all that preceded it.”

After having lived in the (not so) Golden State for nearly 40 years, we finally gave up on trying to adapt to the "progressively" worsening conditions. Which? Ever increasing taxes and bonded indebtedness by the left-wing (Democrat) state government; adding more benefits & services for illegals (oops, I mean undocumented immigrants). Governor Gavin (The Nuisance) Newsom--Nancy Pelosi's great nephew through marriage--is back living in the 1970's, knowing only how to increase taxes and the size of government. Although California has the highest corporate, personal, sales and gasoline taxes in the nation, infrastructure is crumbling. But at the same time, the legislature decided to fund the "high-speed rail" train to nowhere pork-barrel project, which ballooned from its original budget of $25 billion to nearly $70 billion, at last count. They finally gave up and suspended the entire hair brained project. Air pollution, urban sprawl, homelessness, crime and gang violence are all out of control. We said, "Enough!" 10 years ago, and relocated to *********, and have never had any cause to regret our decision. Our adopted home has a much smaller, less intrusive state government, along with modest, reasonable taxes. And the violent crime rate is minuscule compared to CA. People here can still leave their cars unlocked at the local shopping mall--I don't, too many years of living in CA, I guess. Any middle class people that still persist in staying in California deserve what's coming to them.

  250. As for the supposed Biblical claim (by Zionists), Jewish Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss explains: “Zionism is only around 100 years old. It is the transformation from religion to nationalism, to materialism created by non-religious Jews who hated their religion. The reason why they use the name Israel, the Star of David, hijacking, stealing the identity of Judaism and the Jewish people is in order to gain a legitimacy for their existence that should lead people to say, ‘oh, it is God given to them’ and that they should use fear and intimidate people from speaking out against their actions because they will call those that do anti-Semitic; it couldn’t be anything further from the Truth.” Zionists used two major justifications for occupying Palestine: 1) The Biblical claim of Palestine belonging exclusively to the Jews; 2) The Persecution of the Jews in Europe. The true descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were commanded by G-d to remain in the (Gentile) nations to which they had been scattered by divine decree. There will yet be a future regathering of dispersed Israel, not by military or political machinations, but by a sovereign act of HaShem. See Deut. 30:1-6, Isa. 41:8-9, Isa. 43:5-6, and especially Ezek. 28:25-26, which reads: "Thus says the Lord GOD: 'When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am hallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob. And they will dwell safely there, build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the LORD their God.'" I ask you now, is Israel currently dwelling securely in peace? Are they that all-righteous nation of which the scriptures speak? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding NO. In Isaiah 19:24 we read, "In that day Israel will be the third part with Egypt and Assyria (Iraq), a blessing in the midst of the earth." Has that happened yet? The answer is obvious.

Because, unlike the Democrats, Republicans make no pretense of caring about giving Americans healthcare. They are pro-business, pro-Wall Street and pro-banking, and they make no bones about it. They're in your face with no apologies for their agenda. Therefore, the Democrats are even WORSE, as they assume a progressive stance, but stab their constituents in the back every time push comes to shove. "Woe to you, Democrats, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness."

All of these countries have had experience with Soviet/Russian imperialism before, during and after WWII, and don't wish to repeat it again. Russia is now, has been, and will continue to be an aggressive, imperialist, expansionist nation. It's in its nature going all the way back to Catherine the Great.

  288. In 1943 Simone Weil, a French philosopher and mystic, concluded that political parties had become organizations dedicated to one purpose: “killing in all souls the sense of truth and justice.” In the United States, the two major political parties have now divided the nation with the kind of violent partisan rhetoric that erupted just before the Civil War. Across Western Europe, political parties have turned parliaments into digital circuses, provoking waves of contempt among ordinary people. When President George Washington took the oath of office in April of 1789, no political parties existed. Throughout the two terms of his presidency, Washington remained nonpartisan. President Washington expressed genuine concern in that “the alternate domination” of one political party over another, thereby allowing one party to enjoy temporary power over the government that would use it to obtain revenge on the other. He seriously felt that this tendency toward atrocities directed at the party out of power “…is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism.” Washington understood that if “a wise people” did not do their duty to discourage and restrain the over-zealous development of political parties, it would be the end of America. And so, it appears, that's what we are facing.

NSDAP = National SOCIALIST German Workers Party. And this is evident in today's U.S. society. ALL of the authoritarian/fascist movements we see are LEFT-wing in origin and philosophy. As far as what might "trigger" a revolution in America, it won't come from either the left or the right. It will come when average, middle-of-the road Americans throw off the pretensions of BOTH the left and the right, and embrace populism. Trump was neither right nor left, which explains his broad appeal to middle America. When the revolution finally takes place, it won't be pretty. "Beware of the anger of a patient man." (ancient Irish proverb). This saying warns of pushing even the most patient and accommodating of (middle class) people too far.

Their real homeland is about 800 miles to the north east in the southern Caucasus in modern-day Georgia.

  311. Chris Hedges calls himself "Biblically literate," but then accuses other Christians of believing that Adam & Eve saddled up a T. Rex in the Garden of Eden? I've been a Christian for well over 40 years, and I've NEVER met or heard of another Christian that believes such nonsense. Chris Hedges' attempt to conflate the radical right with Biblical Christianity is woefully misguided. I expected better of him, but then he apparently is also a victim of TDS.

  314.  @DaleGribble1  Not really. Pause for a moment and consider what Jesus is saying. He's telling his disciples to use (unrighteous) money now with an eye toward eternity; that is, that we need to use our present resources to plan ahead for eternity. He calls wealth/money "unrighteous" because it is of this world system, not because money and/or wealth is intrinsically evil of itself. Money is but a tool. It is amoral or neutral, but can become evil due to the uses to which people employ it, or their motives for acquiring it. Jesus called it "unrighteous" wealth because riches promise much, and perform nothing; they excite hope and confidence, and deceive both. In making a man depend on them for happiness, they rob him of the salvation of God and of eternal glory. Cheers.

  315. Argentina was once the envy of the western hemisphere. By 1913, it was among the world's ten wealthiest nations, with a per capita income on a par with that of France and Germany, and far ahead of Italy's or Spain's. One important measure of development, GDP per capita, rose from 35% of the United States average to about 80%. At the end of 1913, Argentina had a gold stock of £59 million (nearly $6 billion USD in today's world), or 3.7% of the world's monetary gold, while representing 1.2% of the world's economic output. But with the advent of Peronism, as they say, then it all went wrong. Peron instituted a policy of state corporatism, where powerful interests had access to capital and nationalized assets, leaving the poor and middle class with an economy closed to imports and plagued by rampant inflation. Peron promised the masses something for nothing (sound familiar?), and they got nothing. I wish the new Argentine president all the luck in the world trying to overcome 80+ years of a mismanaged economy. He'll need it.

Macedonia: 2020. Finland and Sweden: 2023. That's 16 former Soviet and/or Soviet-aligned republics (and, in the case of Finland & Sweden, close neighbors) that joined NATO after the Cold War was (supposedly) over. And, given the current geopolitical situation, I'm sure that Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia would join also, if it were possible. See a pattern here? All of these countries have had experience with Soviet/Russian occupation before, during and after WWII, and don't wish to repeat it again. Russia is now, has been, and will continue to be an aggressive, imperialist, expansionist nation. It's in its nature going all the way back to Catherine the Great.

  328. Habeas corpus, from Medieval Latin, lit. 'let you have the body'; in law: "[we, a Court, command] that you have the body [of the detainee brought before us]") is a recourse in law through which a person can report an unlawful detention or imprisonment to a court and request that the court order the custodian of the person, usually a prison official, to bring the prisoner to court, to determine whether the detention is lawful. The United States inherited habeas corpus from the English common law. In England, the writ was issued in the name of the monarch. When the original thirteen American colonies declared independence, and became a republic based on popular sovereignty, any person, in the name of the people, acquired authority to initiate such writs. The U.S. Constitution specifically includes the habeas procedure in the Suspension Clause (Clause 2), located in Article One, Section 9. This states that "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it". Of course, nowadays, the government itself gets to define the terms contained in the clause, especially what determines "public safety." Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War and Reconstruction for some places or types of cases. In the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis also suspended habeas corpus and imposed martial law. During World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt suspended habeas corpus. Following the September 11 attacks, President George W. Bush attempted to place Guantanamo Bay detainees outside of the jurisdiction of habeas corpus, but the Supreme Court of the United States overturned this action in Boumediene v. Bush.

  330. As for the Jews' supposed Biblical claim, Jewish Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss explains: “Zionism is only around 100 years old. It is the transformation from religion to nationalism, to materialism created by non-religious Jews who hated their religion. The reason why they use the name Israel, the Star of David, hijacking, stealing the identity of Judaism and the Jewish people is in order to gain a legitimacy for their existence that should lead people to say, ‘oh, it is God given to them’ and that they should use fear and intimidate people from speaking out against their actions because they will call those that do anti-Semitic; it couldn’t be anything further from the Truth.” Zionists used two major justifications for occupying Palestine: 1) The Biblical claim of Palestine belonging exclusively to the Jews; 2) The Persecution of the Jews in Europe. The true descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were commanded by G-d to remain in the (gentile) nations to which they had been scattered by divine decree. There will yet be a future regathering of dispersed Israel, not by military or political machinations, but by a sovereign act of HaShem. See Deut. 30:1-6, Isa. 41:8-9, Isa. 43:5-6, and especially Ezek. 28:25-26, which reads: "Thus says the Lord GOD: 'When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am hallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob. And they will dwell safely there, build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the LORD their God.'" I ask you now, is Israel currently dwelling securely in peace? Are they that all-righteous nation of which the scriptures speak? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding NO. In Isaiah 19:24 we read, "In that day Israel will be the third part with Egypt and Assyria (Iraq), a blessing in the midst of the earth." Has that happened yet? The answer is obvious.

  332. Moving from LA to Austin would be a SLIGHT improvement, in that the state of Texas has more common sense than California. BUT Austin is administered by an 11-member city council (10 council members elected by geographic district, plus a mayor elected at large). The current mayor, Kirk Watson, while officially non-partisan, has been a long time member of the Democratic Party. In 2011, Watson was chosen by his Democratic colleagues to chair the Texas Senate Democratic Caucus and served until 2015. Likewise, the Austin City Council, again supposedly non-partisan, is composed of 10 members, ALL of whom are affiliated with the the Democratic Party. The unofficial slogan for the city is "Keep Austin Weird." And the local politicians are doing their very best to ensure just that. So if you want to move to a city in Texas that isn't run by wokies and weirdos, cross Austin off your list.

  336.  @dnickaroo3574  Your knowledge of history is most flawed. Liberalism was promoted in OPPOSITION to the egregious imperialism of Great Britain. The Crown and Parliament both sought to actively oppose this philosophy, as any furtherance of liberalism would tend to undermine their authority and position as oligarchs. Indeed, you err greatly. Study history before making such unfounded remarks.

  337.  @dnickaroo3574  Palmerston was a British nationalist; he said that the country had no permanent allies, only permanent interests. As such, he may have encouraged liberalism in those countries which were perceived as natural enemies of the British crown, but he never supported liberalism in Great Britain. His thought was that liberalism, if made to flourish in countries such as Russia, France and Austria (all enemies of GB), would tend to weaken those nations, and thus serve to strengthen British foreign objectives. The Reform Bills of 1831 and 1832 were more considerable than Palmerston liked, and he tried to modify them. Failing, he blamed “the stupid old Tory party” for making them necessary by refusing minor concessions, emphasized the “final” nature of the 1832 Act, and proclaimed his confidence that the landed interest would continue to prevail in politics as he thought it should. From 1849 to 1865 he came to personify the opposition of the landsmen and many of the middle classes to the enfranchisement of trade unionists and to resist fiscal and legislative assaults on landed property, opining (with regard to Ireland) that “tenant right was landlord’s wrong.” Lord Palmerston, who became prime minister for the first time in 1855, stood out as the dominant political personality of mid-Victorian Britain precisely because he was opposed to dramatic change and because he knew through long experience how to maneuver politics within the half-reformed constitution. Doesn't sound like much of a "liberal" to me.

  354. In United States v. Wilson (1833), the U.S. Supreme Court held that a pardon can be rejected by the intended recipient and must be affirmatively accepted to be officially recognized by the courts. In that case, George Wilson was convicted of robbing the US Mail and was sentenced to death. Due to his friends' influence, Wilson was pardoned by President Andrew Jackson, but Wilson refused the pardon and the Supreme Court held that his rejection was valid and the court could not force a pardon upon him; and consequently the pardon must be introduced to the court by "plea, motion, or otherwise" to be considered as a point of fact and evidence. According to Associate Justice Joseph McKenna, writing the majority opinion in the U.S. Supreme Court case Burdick v. United States, a pardon is "an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it."
