~ What is the most convincing evidence that the Uranium One scandal is the biggest conspiracy of this century. After five days of the story breaking that the FBI had an informant and the DOJ will not let him go public, NBC, CBS and ABC news outlets have spent a total of zero (0) minutes covering the story.
I get the impression that the industrial military complex needs more product to sell our enemies. We’re talking about hundreds of billions in potential revenue. Who wields more power on earth than these guys?
~ California Governor Jerry Brown wants the federal government to declare Cali a disaster area so they can get FEMA disaster funding for the wildfires there. This comes just weeks after the state formally declared that they are a sanctuary state and would not follow federal law regarding illegal aliens. What say you???
Of course, the feds caved and authorized funding assisance to 7 counties. I guess helping people should come first, even if their government officials want to succeed from the USA…
~ Bill O’Reilly settled his sexual harrassment lawsuit with former 15 year network analyst Lis Wiehl for $32 million. What percentage of women would put up with that to net 16 million?
~ I admire Rand Paul for standing firm on his principles. That being said, I plan to support his GOP opponent in the next election cycle. His unwillingness to compromise undermines changes in our laws, which are slow and gradual.
~ I find it perplexing that George W. Bush spoke out critically of Donald Trump but never, to my knowledge, went after Barack Obama, who blamed him for all the nation’s problems years after becoming President. Is it establishment politics, a personal grudge or something else.
Other than Abe Lincoln, what other president was more divisive in this country than Obama. Trump did not create the problems with race relations, immigration, health care or terrorism. Athough unpopular with many, he is taking action to keep Americans safe and employed, as well as holding business and political leaders accountable for their actions, or in some cases, inactions.

Somebody remind me why we are at war in Afghanistan. Why did we move in after the Soviets moved out? Are the Taliban an existential threat? Is it the heroin world market we want to control or do we just want war in perpetuity?
I vote for war in perpetuity. As long as a war is going on, they can suspend human rights whenever they feel compelled to do so. The Afghanistan war is a ruse -- who knows what is really going on over there? The tabloids say US troops found Archangel Michael in a cave so now we're obligated to occupy the entire country. Whatever, it's just as good a reason to send an occupation force as any I guess.
