04 Feb Member Meeting Restoring the Right to Rise in America 11:30 AM About This Meeting Former Florida Governor and Honorary Chairman of the Right to Rise PAC Jeb Bush addressed the Detroit Economic Club Wednesday, February 4th, 2015, on restoring the right to rise in America. Bush said, “That’s why I’ve launched the Right to Rise PAC, so that someone will speak for people who don’t want to wait for the government to deliver prosperity. They want to earn it themselves. Government isn’t the only issue here; there’s far more at work. But in a sense, fixing government policy is the easiest problem to solve and it’s the one that’s most responsive to the demands of voters.” Share This Meeting Presiding Officer The Honorable Sandy Baruah President & CEO

November 16, 2022 Wisconsin had many close races in the 2022 midterm elections. Many races were decided by margins of less than 2%. The Secretary of State race in particular has yet to be called with Democrat incumbent Doug la Follette currently ahead of Republican Amy Loudenbeck by less than 8,000 votes. Neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party swept the election with members of both parties being elected statewide. Two of the most watched races had incumbent Republican Senator Ron Johnson and incumbent Democratic Governor Tony Evers both winning their reelection campaigns. State legislative and executive branches will also again be split, with the executive branch under Democrat control and the state legislature under Republican control. Statewide, Wisconsin voters elected six Republicans and two Democrats to the US House of Representatives. Republicans were able to pick up one seat with Derrick Van Orden defeating his challenger Brad Pfaff.

Long lines waited to learn about and use the county's new opscanzs (Image by Marta Steele) Details DMCA The lines were long today at Bensalem Township, PA's exhibition and demonstration of their brand-new Clear Ballot optical scanners. Not ES&S, not Dominion, not Hart InterCivic. In 2016, Clear Ballot, the vendor of the new, $4 million system, was the seventh-largest vendor in the country. At least one expert I spoke with is happy with this choice. Voters there to view and learn how to use the machines, averaging 140-160 per exhibition, seemed enthusiastic and cheerful, one of them specifically because of the many close election outcomes that previously couldn't be recounted on the Danaher 1242 DREs that the county had used since 2008. Three hundred four polling places, some of which accommodate as many as four different precincts? You know what that's like, in terms of accidental or purposeful disenfranchisement, but Bucks's system codes the paper ballots so that scanners will reject them if voting (Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).

Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee following the suspension of Ted Cruz’s campaign. The Texas senator was Trump’s closest competitor. He announced he was suspending his campaign after losing the Indiana primary Tuesday. Donald Trump defeated Cruz and Ohio Governor John Kasich by a huge amount in that contest. Cruz thanked his family and his supporters in Indianapolis. But he said that his "path toward victory has been foreclosed," and that “voters have chosen another path.” On Twitter, the chairman of the Republican Party confirmed Trump as the presumptive nominee and called for unity to defeat Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump echoed that idea in his victory speech from New York City. He praised Cruz’ decision to leave the race. “It was a brave thing to do, he said, “because we need unity in the Republican Party.” He also called Cruz a “tough, smart competitor” and said he has an “amazing future.” On the Democratic Party side, Bernie Sanders defeated Hillary Clinton in Indiana. The competition in that contest was much closer. The U.S. presidential election will be held November 8. Caty Weaver wrote this story for VOA Learning English. Hai Do was the editor.

"Understanding the Global Crisis: Reclaiming Rand's Radical Legacy," The Free Radical 56 (May/June 2003): 16-22. PDF available. UNDERSTANDING THE GLOBAL CRISIS: RECLAIMING RAND'S RADICAL LEGACY By Chris Matthew Sciabarra "The tree of liberty," Thomas Jefferson wrote, "must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." And so, when I saw those startling images of a liberated Iraq-those first photos of fellow New Yorker, Major David "Bull" Guerfin of the U.S. Marines, ripping down the poster of Saddam Hussein in Safwan or that riveting footage of fellow Brooklynite, Marine Cpl. Edward Chin, helping jubilant Iraqis in Baghdad's Firdos Square to topple Hussein's 20-foot statue-it seemed to me that Jefferson's remark was as true as ever. The blood of that tyrannical regime-and the blood of patriotic American soldiers-had been shed, becoming what Jefferson had once called the "natural manure" necessary for the full flowering of human freedom. Liberty and eternal vigilance against despotism go hand-in-hand, after all. But powerfully symbolic images such as these have a surface appeal that obscures a much more complex reality. Too much Objectivist commentary on that reality has become a mere apologia for neoconservative folly. At risk is the abandonment of Ayn Rand's radical legacy. The Current Crisis Over the last few months, I have aired my views about the war in Iraq throughout cyberspace (see the various links posted to my Notablog. To be clear, there has never been a time where I doubted the immorality of a regime that fed its dissident citizens feet-first into wood chippers and industrial plastic shredders. I never doubted the rightness of striking back against those who initiate force or striking preemptively or unilaterally against imminent threats to American security-whatever the objections voiced by members of that morally bankrupt organization known as the United Nations. While I questioned the wisdom and timing of the Iraq war, the imminence of the Hussein threat, and the alleged links between Hussein's secularist Pan-Arabist Ba'ath Party and Bin Laden's fundamentalist Al Qaeda, my overwhelming concern was-and remains-the aftermath of the incursion. I have strongly supported the attempt to bring to justice the fugitives of 9/11-the murderous Al Qaeda-or "to bring justice to them," as President Bush has said. I think this is an unconventional war requiring unconventional warfare, including ongoing disruption of terrorist finance, weapons, and communications networks. But I remain wary of any long-term U.S. expansion into the region. And I believe that a projected U.S. occupation of Iraq to bring about "democratic" regime change would not be comparable to the German and Japanese models of the post-World War II era. Iraq is a makeshift by-product of British colonialism, constructed at Versailles in 1920 out of three former Ottoman provinces; its notorious internal political divisions are mirrored by tribal warfare among Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, and others. By contrast, both Germany and Japan possessed relatively homogeneous cultures and the rudiments of a democratic past, while retaining no allies after the war. And in the case of Japan, the U.S. had the full cooperation of Emperor Hirohito, who stepped down from his position as national deity, to become the figurative head of a constitutional monarchy. For those of us bred on Ayn Rand's insight that politics is only a consequence of a larger philosophical and cultural cause-that culture, in effect, trumps politics-the idea that it is possible to construct a political solution in a culture that does not value procedural democracy, free institutions, or the notion of individual responsibility is a delusion. Witness contemporary Russia, where the death of communism has given birth to a society of warring post-Soviet mafiosi, leading some to yearn for the good ol' days of Stalin. Clearly, "regime change" is not enough. But even if procedural democracy were to come to Iraq, it may be no less despotic than the brutal dictatorship it usurps, for majority rule without protection of individual rights is no check on the political growth of Islamic fundamentalism. The lunacy of nation-building and of imposed political settlements-which have been tried over and over again in the Middle East with no long-term success-does not mean that there is no hope for the Arab world. Former Reagan administration advisor Michael Ledeen (The Intellectual Activist [TIA], January 2003) speaks of a rising revolt against theocracy in Iran, for example, among a younger generation that is fed up with their oppressive government. They eat American foods, wear American jeans, and watch American TV shows. I don't see how a U.S. occupation in any part of the region will nourish this kind of revolt. If anything, the United States may be perceived as a new colonial administrator. Such a perception may only give impetus to the theocrats who may seek to preserve their rule by deflecting the dissatisfaction in their midst toward the "infidel occupiers." I can think of no better ad campaign for the recruitment of future Islamic terrorists. Even though I support relentless surgical strikes against terrorists posing an imminent threat to the United States, I have argued that America's only practical long-term course of action is strategic disengagement from the region. In the long-run, I stand with those American Founding Fathers who advocated free trade with all, entangling political alliances with none. If that advice was good for a simpler world, it is even more appropriate for a world of immense complexity, in which no one power can control for all the myriad unintended consequences of human action. The central planners of socialism learned this lesson some time ago; the central planners of a projected U.S. colonialism have yet to learn it. A Deeper Cause "Armies are in motion," observes Paul Berman, "but are the philosophers and religious leaders, the liberal thinkers, likewise in motion? There is something to worry about here," Berman continues, "an aspect of the war that liberal society seems to have trouble understanding-one more worry, on top of all the others, and possibly the greatest worry of all" ("The Philosopher of Islamic Terror," NY Times Magazine, 23 March 2003). That worry is deeply philosophical-and one that cannot be ignored. There is a profound antipathy between Islamic fundamentalism and Western values, an antipathy that lies at the root of their mutual cultural alienation. But it took centuries to secularize the Western mind, and it is liable to take generations to accomplish a modicum of cultural change among Islamic nations. Berman provides one indication of the obstacles that lie ahead. He focuses on the philosophical forefather of Al Qaeda: Sayyid Qutb, who violently opposed the secular, socialist Pan-Arabist regime of the Egyptian dictator, Gamal Abdel Nasser. As a member of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, Qutb was executed in 1966. But his poisonous legacy lives on. Qutb's progeny, Bin Laden, stands at one end of the Islamic spectrum, while Hussein's Ba'ath Party, the most violent Pan-Arabist successor, stood at the other. That Bin Laden sees Hussein as an immoral "infidel" is an extension of a fundamentalist credo, which repudiates "Zionists" and "Christian" Westerners from without, and secularists from within, the Muslim world. The fundamentalists want to marginalize or destroy not only the Pan Arabists, but also any "liberal" Muslims-who are viewed as no better than the pre-Islamic pagans of the Arabian peninsula. This is quite typical: Fundamentalists of any sort always begin by attacking the "impure" among their own faithful. Pining for a theocratic Islamic caliphate, Qutb's influential "theological criticism of modern life" lamented the dualistic "schizophrenia" of the secular and the sacred, science and religion. But as is typical with religious monists, Qutb sought to collapse secular life into religion. His "deepest quarrel was not with America's failure to uphold its principles," Berman explains. "His quarrel was with the principles. He opposed the United States because it was a liberal society" (emphasis added). The most "dangerous element" of that society was, in Qutb's view, the "separation of church and state." His version of liberation entailed an adherence to strict Islamic law ("Shariah") in defense of "freedom of conscience." But such liberation "meant freedom from false doctrines that failed to recognize God, freedom from the modern schizophrenia." It is no great leap to realize the dictatorial implications of this utopian vision, whose enforcement would echo the totalitarian projects of fascism, Nazism, and communism. Berman wonders who, in the West, will defend liberal ideas against its enemies. Those who admire Ayn Rand know the answer. Rand fought against the mystics of muscle and the mystics of spirit; she fought for a passionate integrated view of human existence that triumphed over the false alternatives of mind and body, reason and emotion, morality and prudence, theory and practice. She fought for reason, but not against spirituality, for productive purpose, but not against creativity, for self-esteem, but not against a humane society of voluntary cooperation and shared values. But the power of Rand's vision is two-fold: It enunciates broad epistemological and moral principles that guide us in the rational pursuit of rational goals. At the same time, it provides an engine for contextual analysis, which enables us to understand the factors that thwart both moral means and the pursuit of moral ends. Objectivists have been very vocal in stressing the principles of Rand's vision, while often failing to grasp the comprehensive critique that Rand offered of the statist enemies in our midst. The History of U.S. Foreign Policy: Capitalism Thwarted Rand, who wrote minimally on foreign policy, recognized nevertheless that "[t]he essence of capitalism's foreign policy is free trade-i.e., the abolition of trade barriers, of protective tariffs, of special privileges-the opening of the world's trade routes to free international exchange and competition among the private citizens of all countries dealing directly with one another" ("The Roots of War"). For Rand, capitalism had never existed in its purest form. Still, semi-capitalism was powerful enough to demolish the remnants of feudalism, mercantilism, and absolute monarchy throughout the world. But with the rise of the collectivist, paternalist ideology and nationalistic imperialism of "progressive reformers" such as Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, relatively free markets gave way to government regulation and privilege. The twentieth-century history of U.S. foreign policy, according to Rand, was a history of "suicidal" failure and hypocrisy ("'Extremism,' Or the Art of Smearing"). Failure-because the U.S. had abdicated the moral high ground, destroying economic and civil liberties from within, and losing any rational sense of the country's moral significance. Hypocrisy-because the U.S. often fought evil with evil. Rand maintained that Wilson had led the charge "to make the world safe for democracy," but World War I gave birth to fascism, Nazism, and communism. FDR had led the charge for the "Four Freedoms," but he only empowered the Soviets in the process ("The Roots of War"). Rand had long believed that the Soviet Union was a primitive country, doomed to economic stagnation and systemic collapse. She had once excoriated Ronald Reagan for invoking "fear" of the Soviets, for "exaggerat[ing] the power of the most incompetent nation in the world," which was "not a patriotic service to the United States" ("The Moral Factor"). Her Objectivist Newsletter had featured a series of review essays by various writers who had argued that the parasitic Soviets had stolen military and other technology from the West, and that it was U.S. foreign policy that had stabilized the regime. Drawing from John T. Flynn's book, The Roosevelt Myth, Barbara Branden stressed that FDR was inspired by Bismarck, Mussolini, and Hitler in establishing a liberal corporatist "New Deal" that further devastated a depressed economy (The Objectivist Newsletter, December 1962). Provoking war in the Pacific, Roosevelt used "national defense" as a pretext for resolving the unemployment problem by drafting American boys to fight and die in foreign wars, while sending $11 billion in Lend-Lease assistance to the Soviets, and developing secret post-war agreements with Stalin to surrender nearly three-quarters of a billion people into communist slavery. (Rand herself believed that this strategy made Russia "the only winner" of World War II ["The Shanghai Gesture, Part I"]. She also questioned the wisdom of entering that war's European theater on the side of the Soviets-suggesting that a Nazi-Soviet conflict might have severely weakened the victor [e.g., see "Communism and HUAC" in Journals of Ayn Rand].) Government intervention in the economy and U.S. intervention abroad mirrored each other in one significant respect: each problem caused by statist intervention led to new interventionist attempts to resolve it. Just as World War I begat World War II, and World War II begat the Cold War, so too did the Cold War beget "hot" wars in Korea and Vietnam, in which more than 100,000 drafted Americans lost their lives. Vietnam especially had laid bare the inner contradictions of U.S. foreign policy. "There is no proper solution for the war in Vietnam," Rand counseled at the time; "it is a war we should never have entered. We are caught in a trap: it is senseless to continue, and it is now impossible to withdraw" ("From My 'Future File'"). Rand had opposed U.S. involvement in both Korea and Vietnam, and wondered why the U.S. had "sacrificed thousands of American lives, and billions of dollars, to protect a primitive people who never had freedom, do not seek it, and, apparently, do not want it" ("The Shanghai Gesture, Part III"). It is advice well worth keeping in mind-anytime the U.S. wages war with the expressed aim to free an oppressed people. Rand understood that "international politics" among "statist regimes" often entailed a "'balance of power' game"-though she believed that U.S. statist politicians were "crude, naive and innocent compared to their European and Asian counterparts" ("The Shanghai Gesture, Part I"). In contrast to the "range-of-the-moment manipulations" of "Metternichian amorality" on display in the global political arena ("A Last Survey, Part I"), Rand invoked the spirit of the Old Right critics of U.S. involvement in World War II, who had been smeared as "America First'ers" ("Britain's 'National Socialism'"). She despised those who had coined the "anti-concept" of "isolationism" as a means of denouncing "any patriotic opponent of America's self-immolation" ("The Lessons of Vietnam"). Rand was not against all involvement in overseas affairs. In the context of the Cold War, for example, she opposed the appeasement of the Soviets, and recognized the strategic importance of Taiwan and Israel-despite her antipathy toward the latter's socialist, religious, and tribalist nature. Israel was preferable to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, argued Rand, which had abdicated any "rights" it may have once held by engaging in a sustained policy of terror ("The Lessons of Vietnam"; "Global Balkanization" Q&A tape, 1977). Still, Rand stood firmly against the "altruistic" evil of foreign "interventionism" or "internationalism" that had undermined long-term U.S. interests. She repudiated the claim "that isolationism is selfish, immoral, and impractical in a 'shrinking' modern world" ("The Chickens' Homecoming"). The crisis of U.S. foreign policy did not end in Southeast Asia. Containment of insurgencies throughout the world often enraged local populations, as the U.S. propped up puppet dictators to do its global bidding-stationing its troops till this day in over 100 countries worldwide. This policy was partially responsible for the rise of Islamic fundamentalism as an anti-American political force in Iran; the Iranians threw off the U.S.-backed Shah, and elevated Khomeini to a position of leadership. A hostage crisis followed. Supporting the Iraqis in their war with Iran, opposing the Soviets by aiding Afghan "freedom fighters"-the theocratically inclined mujahideen who became Al Qaeda and Taliban warriors-"put the U.S. wholesale into the business of creating terrorists," as Leonard Peikoff observes. "Most of them," says Peikoff, "regarded fighting the Soviets as only the beginning; our turn soon came" ("End States Who Sponsor Terrorism"). A Radical Insight The crisis of U.S. foreign policy led Rand to a key radical insight-that there was an inextricable connection between government intervention at home and abroad. Rand states unequivocally: "Foreign policy is merely a consequence of domestic policy" ("The Shanghai Gesture, Part III"). When Rand called for a complete "revision of [U.S.] foreign policy, from its basic premises on up," she knew that this would entail a simultaneous repudiation of the welfare state at home and the warfare state abroad, an end to "foreign aid and [to] all forms of international self-immolation." She knew that "a radically different foreign policy" required a radically different domestic one-and that both required a philosophic and cultural revolution ("The Wreckage of the Consensus"). Rand had identified U.S. domestic policy as the "New Fascism." This was-and is-a de facto, predatory fascism, the result of pragmatic expediency and of ad hoc, incremental policies that had enriched some groups at the expense of others. A business-government "partnership" was its "economic essence" ("The New Fascism: Rule By Consensus"). In such a system, she argued, we are all victims and victimizers; the whole society becomes a "class of beggars" ("Books: Poverty is Where the Money Is"). For once the rule of force begins to predominate, the institutional means for legalized predation expand exponentially. "If this is a society's system," writes Rand, "no power on earth can prevent men from ganging up on one another in self-defense-i.e., from forming pressure groups" ["How to Read (and Not to Write)"]. The New Fascism therefore "accelerates the process of juggling debts, switching losses, piling loans on loans, mortgaging the future and the future's future. As things grow worse, the government protects itself not by contracting this process, but by expanding it" beyond its national borders. Just as pressure groups had slurped at the government trough in seeking domestic privileges, so too did they benefit from a whole global system of foreign aid, involving financial manipulation (through, for example, the Federal Reserve System, the Ex-Im Bank, and the IMF), "credits to foreign consumers to enable them to consume" U.S.-produced goods, "unpaid loans to foreign governments, and subsidies to other welfare states," to the United Nations, and to the World Bank ("Egalitarianism and Inflation"). Rand goes further: "If looting collectivists did not exist, America's foreign aid policy would create them." The overwhelming profiteers of this system were those peculiar "products . . . of the mixed economy," those statist businessmen who "seek to grow rich not by means of productive ability, but by means of political pull and of special political privileges." Rand observes "that there are firms here and there, in various businesses and industries, who are growing prosperous by trading with foreign countries, the specific foreign countries who receive American aid. In other words, there are businessmen who are selling their products to the foreign countries receiving American aid and who are paid by American funds-who are paid by the aid money granted to those countries. In other words, some Americans are draining the money, the tax money, of other Americans, into their own pockets, via a longer tour through every corner of the globe which receives our foreign aid. This tax money is taken from some citizens, handed to foreign governments and pressure groups and then comes back to some of our citizens, through those successful pressure groups who have pull in Washington." This was a "siphoning" process, in Rand's view, a "necessary corollary of a mixed economy, or rather the necessary expression of a mixed economy, now being carried to the international scene. It is a civil war gone international; it is pressure groups using foreign countries in order to destroy our own. That is the meaning of our foreign aid policy" ("The Foreign Policy of the Mixed Economy," tape). Thus, the New Fascism exports "the bloody chaos of tribal warfare" to the rest of the world, creating a whole class of "pull peddlers" among both foreign and domestic lobbyists, who feed on the carcass of the American taxpayer, causing massive global political, social, and economic dislocations ("The Pull Peddlers"). Whereas the Left derided "capitalist imperialism" for this state of affairs, Rand recognized that capitalism, "the unknown ideal," had taken the blame for the sins of its opposite. She lamented the internationalization of the New Fascism; given "the interdependence of the Western world," all countries are "leaning on one another as bad risks, bad consuming parasite borrowers." She recognized how the system's dynamics propelled such internationalization, but advised: "The less ties we have with any other countries, the better off we will be." Suggesting a biological analogy in warning against the spread of neofascism, she quips: "If you have a disease, should you get a more serious form of it, and will that help you?" ("Egalitarianism and Inflation" Q&A tape, 1974). In discussing a section of the 1972 Communiqué between the U.S. and Red China, Rand suggests a universal principle. "[L]ike charity," she writes, "courage, consistency, integrity have to begin at home . . . [w]hat we are now doing to others . . . we began by doing it to ourselves. We are the victims of self-inflicted bacteriological warfare: altruism is the bacteria of amorality. Pragmatism is the bacteria of impotence" ("The Shanghai Gesture," Part III). This critique of the "New Fascism" is as relevant today as it was in the time that Rand first presented it. Some writers (e.g., Adam Reed, 26 March 2003, SOLO Yahoo Forum) have argued, however, that Rand's critique was limited to-and grounded in-the historically specific period of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations (see, for example, "The Fascist New Frontier," in which Rand cites approvingly the similarly constituted critique of New Leftist Charles A. Reich). But while the world scene has changed immeasurably in the last 40 years, Rand did not quell her attacks on this neofascist system in any of her subsequent analyses of the Nixon, Ford, Carter, or Reagan administrations. Not even the collapse of central planning and the Soviet Union would have given Rand pause in these attacks, because neofascism was never about central planning-even if its current court intellectuals (i.e., the formerly socialist neoconservatives) wish to apply the precepts of such planning to the task of global nation-building. Rand's comments focused not on the historical concretes, but on the principles entailed in interventionism. Like Ludwig von Mises and F. A. Hayek, Rand predicted that the interventionist system would expand its reach, making possible an ever-deepening social fragmentation among warring foreign and domestic pressure groups. Rand never saw the New Fascism-or what the Left had called "socialism for big business" ("The Moratorium on Brains, Part II")-as authoritarian in character. For Rand, the real "dividing line" between neofascism and dictatorship is "freedom of speech," since "censorship is the tombstone of a free country." This is why she condemned a "servile press" even more than a "censored press"; the "servile press" embraces "'voluntary' self-enslavement," relying on government manipulation of news "'as an instrument of public policy'" ("The Fascist New Frontier"). The New Fascism, therefore, is a kind of liberal corporatism, which keeps in place democratic forms and procedures, while deadening the prospect of real political and social change. Not even an Objectivist sympathizer, such as Alan Greenspan, can stop the system from the boom-and-bust that emanates from the financial levers of the central bank that he controls, or the massive redistribution of wealth that ensues from that control. In Rand's view, even noble actors pursuing noble goals are defeated by this system. The New Fascism can only engender "parasitism, favoritism, corruption and greed for the unearned"; its power to dispense privilege, Rand emphasizes, "cannot be used honestly" ("The Pull Peddlers"). It is a process of privilege-dispensing that, I might add, will only be augmented in the wake of any long-term U.S. occupation of Iraq. Whereas the estimated war costs are over $75 billion, the open-ended price tag on occupation is anyone's guess. Already, officials are suggesting $1 billion in taxpayer start-up costs for the "bidding" process, going directly to U.S. corporations responsible for re-building Iraqi "infrastructure" ("Who Will Put Iraq Back Together?," by Diana B. Henriques, 23 March 2003, NY Times). The projected costs of Iraqi reconstruction are upwards of $100 billion, "the largest postwar rebuilding since the Marshall Plan in Europe after World War II" (Henriques 2003)-a plan that, according to Rand, brought the United States to "the brink of economic ruin" (Letters of Ayn Rand, 490), a typical by-product of the U.S. tendency to "waste her wealth on helping both her allies and her former enemies" ("Philosophy: Who Needs It"). The NY Times reports that the U.S. government has invited "only American corporations to bid on . . . contracts . . . financed by the taxpayer" for reconstruction of transportation, communication, irrigation, medical facilities, education, and utility plants. The bidding process has been a closed one, allegedly because only a select few corporations have security clearance. Of course, these corporations are among the "largest and most politically connected." It is claimed that the reconstruction will be funded by Iraqi oil revenues for the benefit of the Iraqi people-thus relieving much of the U.S. tax burden. This, of course, remains to be seen-though it is always possible that the Iraqis will not want to invest their money in precisely the way dictated by U.S. occupiers. Not quite a free market. Nevertheless, as one consultant puts it: "Anytime you have an emergency response driven by time, the opportunity for fraud, waste and abuse is huge . . . And when the opportunity is that great, it will occur" (Henriques 2003). The Objectivist Response The response of Objectivists to the prospect of this kind of U.S. occupation has been mostly positive (with a few notable exceptions, e.g., Arthur Silber at The Light of Reason). Robert Tracinski, for example, rightfully criticizes the pragmatism and religiosity of the Bush administration, which pays no attention to "context or history" ("The Era of Muddling Through: How We Got Here and Why We're Still Moving," TIA, March 2003). But this does not stop Tracinski from applauding Bush for "a breathtakingly new grand strategy to remake the Middle East," a policy that Tracinski admits "is a kind of indirect colonialism. The colonial administrators will be the nominally independent leaders of Middle Eastern countries-but the essence of their form of government and their foreign policy will be inspired or imposed by the United States of America." Deriding the muddling ways of "Old Europe," Tracinski suggests approval of the U.S. ambition "to remake the world, sweeping aside hostile regimes and securing America's safety" ("New Hollywood and Old Europe," TIA, March 2003). William Thomas writes ("What Warrants War? The Challenge of Iraq and North Korea") that "[t]he Objectivist view of foreign policy derives from its view of morality. Just as each person should pursue his rational self-interest in his personal matters, so should a proper government uphold the interests of its citizens in its conduct toward other nations." Thomas goes on to say that it is a "basic tenet" of "Objectivist political philosophy . . . that the only just governments are the free countries-and all the free countries are natural allies. Free countries are those that essentially embrace the principles of liberty, including freedoms of speech and assembly, competitive elections, the rule of law, and property rights." In Thomas's well-reasoned discussion of principles, the New Fascism is never mentioned. And though he admits that certain foreign policy goals require us "to hold our noses" when entering into "alliance[s] of convenience" with less free countries, he does not seem to appreciate the extent to which such pragmatic considerations have brought the globe to the current crisis. In the end, however, Thomas supported the war in Iraq-and a possible war with North Korea as well. He sees the post-war reconstruction as a requirement, "the only means of eliminating the longer-term threat." Keeping the peace, funding our allies, and building a free Iraq, will require "billions upon billions of dollars . . . for reconstruction and re-education." Reconstruction? Re-education? Funding our allies? I am tempted to ask the perennial Randian question: At whose expense? To his credit, Thomas recognizes that "if it is culturally or financially infeasible to transform . . . enemies into allies-or at least into stable, non-threatening regimes, then war will not resolve the longer-term threat . . ." To his credit, Thomas accepts the possibility that U.S. occupation might "fuel anti-Americanism throughout the region." To his credit, Thomas understands "that political policy is a symptom, but culture is the root cause." Still, he supports the risk of war and a long-term occupation that empowers "better educated" and "more secular" Iraqis, so as to "cement the transformation" of other Middle Eastern nations. Pisaturo's Epistle To "cement the transformation" is Ron Pisaturo's goal as well. Except that he offers a much more robust strategy. Writing in the aftermath of the World Trade Center disaster, Pisaturo is an unabashed Objectivist advocate of a new U.S. colonialism ("Why and How to Conquer the Savages," Capitalism Magazine ). Pisaturo begins on the correct premise-that Americans have the right to defend themselves from murderous attacks. But he goes further: He urges the creation of a new Middle East as if from a state of nature; his regional tabula rasa, however, requires the "nuclear" incineration of millions of "savages" in order to start from scratch. Pisaturo stands, like Archimedes, outside the context he wishes to reconstruct. His canvas-cleaning strategy is the logically horrific conclusion and destructive essence of his utopianism. It applies literally to 'no-where' on earth-though, in all fairness, the Brave No-World of Ron Pisaturo is far more dystopian than it is utopian. According to Pisaturo, the U.S. must crush all the "evil governments" of the Middle East (e.g., Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other "murderous regimes"). This is a sentiment shared by his Ayn Rand Institute colleagues, including Yaron Brook (ARI Media, 10 April 2003) and Leonard Peikoff ("America versus Americans," Ford Hall Forum, 7 April 2003)-both of whom see Iran as the next target in the war against Islamic fundamentalism. Pisaturo argues that the U.S. government must take back the oil fields for Western oil companies, appropriate Arab assets worldwide (including "real estate, bank accounts, and all other financial holdings"), and "isolate, colonize, and settle the lands the savages now roam." Sensing perhaps that such a proposal for massive colonization of the region might entail an exponential increase in U.S. tax rates and in the size of the U.S. military-perhaps even necessitating conscription-Pisaturo declares that if the Western oil companies "agree to pay the cost of waging this war," then the U.S. government could continue "occupying and defending these oil-rich territories." Once the U.S. has seized the Middle East-I suppose after several years of waiting for the nuclear fallout to settle-it will allow American pioneers to enter the region as international homesteaders. "Over time, pioneers, with the paid support of our military, can go into these isolated territories, subdue the remaining savages, install a civilized, colonial government protecting the rights of both the pioneers and the savages, and settle the land-as American pioneers subdued the savage, murderous American Indian tribes and settled America." Of course, the "savages" will eventually realize that they will be the "most fortunate beneficiaries" of such colonialism. In truth, Pisaturo's view of the Arab world finds inspiration in Rand's own condemnation of Arab terrorists as "savages" (on "The Phil Donahue Show"). She saw the "Arab whose teeth are green with decay in his mouth" ("The Left: Old and New") as living "a nomadic, anti-industrial form of existence" ("Requiem for Man"). But this is a far cry from Pisaturo's genocidal call for an American Lebensraum. I submit that this "cure" is far worse than the disease. Let's analyze Pisaturo's proposal more closely. The Western oil companies whose interests Pisaturo wishes to defend are the same Western oil companies that collaborated with the U.S. government and Middle Eastern governments to develop the oil fields. The U.S. government socialized much of their risk, and replaced the colonizing British as the chief power in the region. From the 1920s through World War II and beyond, the government and the oil industry worked hand-in-hand to win concessions from, and bolster the power of, various "pro-Western" Arab regimes, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan, trying to create stability with money, munitions, and political machinations (see Sheldon Richman's "'Ancient History': U.S. Conduct in the Middle East Since World War II and the Folly of Intervention"). The "pull-peddling" between the oil industry and the various governments was a quintessential expression of the New Fascism. (Rand did not examine these oil industry-government ties; but she did believe, ironically, that U.S. foreign policy had "brought the entire Western world to the position of a colony ruled by Arab sheiks" ["The Energy Crisis, Part II"]). When a neoconservative defends the ideal of a new U.S. colonialism, I am disgusted-but not surprised. Neoconservatism was founded-as a movement-by a group of disaffected socialists and "social democrats." Its modern representatives are now the intellectual architects of U.S. foreign policy. Having given up the fiasco of defending economic central planning, they now embrace global social engineering to bring the ideal of "democracy" to the rest of the world. And if some of them get their wish-of establishing a new "American Empire"-they'll find out that the pretense of knowledge, which destroyed socialism, will similarly destroy their Wilsonian designs. We simply never know enough to construct or reconstruct, wholesale, social systems and nations from the ground up. (On this point, see especially Hayek's Law, Legislation, and Liberty, Vol. 3, pp. 107–109.) Such schemes for a Pax Americana are fraught with endless possibilities for negative unintended consequences, however "noble" the intentions. So "nation-building" as a neoconservative goal is understandable-given the socialist lineage of its champions. But when an Objectivist advocates mass murder and U.S. colonialism and supports the oil industry's employment of the government like a mercenary private protection agency to secure its foreign financial and material holdings, it is beyond baffling. These are the same kinds of Objectivists who would accuse the U.S. Libertarian Party of "context-dropping" (in contradistinction to "atomic-bomb-dropping") for wanting to build political solutions on a fragile philosophic and cultural foundation. Pot. Kettle. Black. Rand's Tri-Level Model Human liberation from tyranny is a noble and just cause. But the pursuit of freedom, like the pursuit of justice, can never be disconnected from the context that gives it meaning. And ethical discussions cannot be considered in a vacuum, disconnected from other levels of analysis that help us to understand the nature of that broader context. For example, in a recent essay, Objectivist Joseph Rowlands begins an analysis of the principles upon which a rational foreign policy must be built. Based on an individualist ethics, such a policy must recognize that there are no fundamental conflicts of interest among rational men-or rational nations. Echoing Rand, Rowlands states that any nation has the right-though not the obligation-to retaliate against those nations that initiate force. Justice requires judgment and consistency or "evil wins by default." These are important insights-but their application requires careful attention to context. A "nation" does not exist separate from the individuals who compose it. To equate a "nation" with that nation's "government" and to assume that the government can and should come to the aid of other nations under attack may be a valid application of an individualist ethics-only if the assisting government generates its revenues and armed services through voluntary means. The principle cannot possibly apply unconditionally to less-than-ideal social systems. Indeed, Rand's view that the rational interests of human beings do not conflict pertains to laissez-faire capitalism. "In a non-free society"-such as the one we have today-"no pursuit of any interests is possible to anyone; nothing is possible but gradual and general destruction" ("The 'Conflicts' of Men's Interests"). In examining the "interrelated considerations which are involved" in judging one's rational interests, Rand stresses first and foremost reality and context. And one cannot drop the reality of the given context when offering ethical advice in the realm of international politics. We can certainly strive toward an international political order that recognizes the individualist principles Rowlands emphasizes, but those principles will never be achieved globally in the absence of a similar domestic movement. Rand's maxim is worth repeating because it is right: "Foreign policy is merely a consequence of domestic policy." If governments rob the wealth of their own citizens to fund foreign adventures, and if they conscript people to fight and die in such adventures-all ethical bets are off. In Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical, I explored Rand's mode for analyzing every social problem on three distinct levels: (1) The Personal, in which she focused on the psycho-epistemological and ethical dimensions; (2) The Cultural, in which she focused on the linguistic, pedagogical, aesthetic, and ideological dimensions; and (3) The Structural, in which she focused on the political and economic dimensions. Every social problem-and solution-entailed mutually reinforcing personal, cultural, and structural factors. This is why Rand maintained: "Intellectual freedom cannot exist without political freedom; political freedom cannot exist without economic freedom; a free mind and a free market are corollaries" ("For the New Intellectual"). It is also why she criticized Libertarians: for seeking political and economic change without the requisite personal and cultural foundations. But it is just as faulty to focus on ethics or culture to the exclusion of structural realities. By disconnecting any level from the others, we drain the radical life-blood out of Objectivism and ossify Rand's system into a form of conservatism. The active embrace of one-dimensional thinking by some Objectivists undermines fundamentally Rand's contextual, dialectical way of looking at the world. It is a perverse kind of "vulgar" one-sidedness that has led "far too many Objectivists [to] act as if they are conservatives who simply don't go to church," as economist Larry Sechrest suggests (OWL list, 29 January 2003). An Objectivist resolution to the current global crisis will require a veritable revolution on every level. Rand stresses the interconnectedness between levels: Rampant tribalism is "a reciprocally reinforcing cause and result" of "rule by brute force" ("The Missing Link"), she argues, just as the neofascist "mixed economy" is "the political cause of tribalism's rebirth" ("Global Balkanization"). Tribalism and statism require each other; this is as valid an assessment of the situation in the Middle East as it is of the situation in the United States of America-whether we call the interventionists "theocrats" or "social democrats." This is not to say that the U.S. government is the moral equivalent of the despotic regimes in the Middle East. Context-keeping means, among other things, keeping a sense of proportion. One of the most important insights on this subject comes from Lindsay Perigo, who writes of the libertarian antiwar crowd: "They invoke imperfection to justify inaction against evil. They say America may not liberate slave pens because America itself is not wholly free & is becoming less free. They blur the distinction between 'not wholly free' and 'wholly unfree' & effectively advocate surrender of the former to the latter. They evade the fact that in America, one is still free to proselytise against its slide into statism, just as they are free to apologise for despots." While I take exception to Perigo's belief that the antiwar crowd-which is far from monolithic-has offered nothing but an apologia for despots, I do believe that he puts his finger on a crucial principle and problem: Just because we cannot do everything to change the system radically and immediately, does not mean that we should do nothing to lessen threats to our freedom. On this point, Perigo and I are in complete agreement. The bottom line, therefore, is indeed practical: Will a U.S. occupation of the Middle East lessen despotism-or provide renewed impetus for its long-term growth at home and abroad? Is there not any other way to deal with such despotism short of establishing a new U.S. colonialism? That I have argued for surgical strikes to neutralize outright and imminent threats to American security coupled with a long-term shift toward strategic disengagement suggests one alternative. Such practical alternatives cannot be considered, however, without addressing briefly the issue of "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (WMD). It is said that the existence of WMD changes the whole equation significantly. Looking at what terrorists can accomplish with box cutters and commercial passenger jets, the destructive possibilities are infinite should they ever come to possess WMD. Much of the practical argument for intervention in Iraq, for example, revolved around the belief that any illegitimate chemical, biological, or radiological weapons that it possessed could be dispersed to terrorist organizations, like Al Qaeda. In my view, however, the pro-war advocates did not present any conclusive evidence of a link between the lethally opposed Ba'ath and Al Qaeda gangs. That it was "pragmatic" U.S. foreign policy that first gave Hussein's regime the wherewithal for the production of some of these weapons, that the U.S. could have used its own overwhelming WMD stockpile effectively to contain Iraq by threat of "mutually assured destruction," that a growth in direct U.S. intervention could make WMD proliferation among potential terrorists more likely, since it becomes their prime manner of counteracting an overwhelming U.S. military force-have all been dismissed by pro-war advocates. In the end, however, it is simply wrong to think that an advance in the technology of death changes the central principle involved in our understanding of the roots of war. As Rand puts it, "there is something obscene in the attitude of those who regard horror as a matter of numbers." Indeed, "it makes no difference to a man whether he is killed by a nuclear bomb or a dynamite bomb or an old-fashioned club. Nor does the number of other victims or the scale of the destruction make any difference to him . . . If nuclear weapons are a dreadful threat and mankind cannot afford war any longer, then mankind cannot afford statism any longer . . . if war is ever to be outlawed, it is the use of force that has to be outlawed" ("The Roots of War"). A military battle of any scope is like a "political battle"-"merely a skirmish fought with muskets"; for Rand, "a philosophical battle is a nuclear war"-and only rational ideas will ultimately win it ("'What Can One Do?'"). Conclusion The Middle East is a region with many oppressive, theocratic regimes at war with human life, human liberty, and human justice. But even when the U.S. government retaliates appropriately against those who act out their jihad-ic desires, it cannot hope to transform that region's despotism by creating, necessarily, a garrison state at home to support a colonial occupation abroad. Destroying American liberties in order to "liberate" the few remaining "savages" who survive the nuclear winter is not a prescription for peace, "homeland security," or freedom. Unless one wants the New Fascism to look a lot like the old one. Those who think that the interventionist power of the state will wither away, after it has built a mighty colonial fortress, atop deficits and debt, rising taxes and the threat of conscription, are suffering from a Marxist delusion. Objectivists are neither Marxists nor conservatives. Objectivists are radicals. And it is only by reclaiming Rand's radical legacy that we can begin to understand this global crisis as a means to overturn the irrationality and statism that breed it.

Please read the below and take action: If you want to stop illegal immigration in Tennessee, I suggest you take a moment and call State Senator Todd Gardenhire right now and express your concerns. His phone number is (615) 741-6682. CALL NOW. Do not wait. Do not think “someone else will do it.” They will not. Here’s why you should call Todd. Senator Todd Gardenhire was appointed to a state task force, focused on “refugee” issues in Tennessee. In fact, he volunteered for it. Some of his recent comments have many Republicans and Conservatives worried that Todd does not understand that Tennesseans do not want to house illegal immigrants in Tennessee. It’s not that we are not compassionate. We are. However, we understand that Joe Biden is using refugee resettlement as a back door to push illegal immigration in Tennessee in a massive, fast-paced way. Our schools, hospitals, foster care and social services systems cannot handle more of what Todd is endorsing. We need Republicans to stand up against this, not cheer for it. Conservatives do not want it “studied.” Conservatives want it STOPPED. In fact, we want these illegal immigration centers to be removed from Tennessee entirely. My fear is this: If the immigration study committee thinks we do not care about these issues, they’ll issue “strong statements” but will do nothing about the issue from a practical, legislative or policing standpoint. Now, the liberal media outlets in Tennessee are praising Todd Gardenhire’s comments and they are running them wall-to-wall in order to influence public opinion and convince Republicans to be soft on illegal immigration. This is why we are working overtime to keep you informed about illegal immigration here at The Tennessee Conservative. Call Todd Gardenhire and tell him we do not want more illegal immigration in Tennessee – no matter that new label he wants to put on it. No matter how he wants to spin it. This is not about Todd’s personal feelings. It’s about the policy preferences Tennessee Republicans and Conservatives THOUGHT they were voting for when they elected him recently. We want strong policy against illegal immigration. Not empty promises to “look into the matter.” Call (615) 741-6682 and tell Todd what you think. Finally, and this is important… If you appreciate what we are doing here at The Tennessee Conservative to cover illegal immigration and keep you informed, please consider donating to our publication. We depend on conservatives like you to keep us on the watchtower. Illegal immigration is a controversial issue Conservatives care about… but the mainstream press and RINO Republicans do not care about it. They want cheap labor and a BLUE Tennessee. Help us stop illegal immigration by holding our leaders accountable. With your help, we will win the fight. Support us now: https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/support/ Yours in Freedom, Brandon Lewis Founder, The Tennessee Conservative P.S. By the way, Todd is MY state senator. Even though I have contacted him on this matter, he has not returned my calls or emails. This current illegal immigration center is only 5 minutes from my home! If Todd is OK with it being in his district, rest assured he’s ok with putting one in YOUR DISTRICT! 1 – Call him today: (615) 741-6682 2 – Support Our Efforts: https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/support/ Thanks, B.L

Pages 219-225. https://doi.org/10.24963/ijcai.2018/30 We study the effects of campaigning, where the society is partitioned into voter clusters and a diffusion process propagates opinions in a network connecting those clusters. Our model is very general and can incorporate many campaigning actions, various partitions of the society into voter clusters, and very general diffusion processes. Perhaps surprisingly, we show that computing the cheapest campaign for rigging a given election can usually be done efficiently, even with arbitrarily-many voters.

Parliament also agreed to the amendment of the Supreme Court Bill to repeal corporal punishment relating to the Supreme Court. In presenting the bills for amendment, Legal Affairs Minister George Kunda said there was need to amend the bills so that corporal punishment could be repealed. He said that the provision of corporal punishment should be removed from the constitution. Mr. Kunda said that no person should be subjected to any inhuman treatment. And in supporting the bill, United Party for National Development (UPND) Member of Parliament (MP) for Livingstone Sakwiba Sikota said that the amendment was a progressive idea, as there was need to remove all forms of corporal punishment. He observed that there was too much brutality in the streets, homes and in the country generally. Mr. Sikota said that if brutality was made official then society was bound to abuse it on other people. And UPND Luena MP Chrispin Sibetta who supported the bill however bemoaned the poor state of the Local Courts and the Supreme Courts. .......................

The author of the editorial claimed to be “part of the resistance” inside the administration “working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.” Trump has reportedly been working to expose the author, and Colbert thinks one line in a recent report about that effort might be a giveaway. One administration official reportedly told the president to just “let it pass.” And this one is very much named. Find out who it is in the clip above.

OVERVIEW Mission: On April 1, 2020, U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) began enhanced counternarcotics operations in the Western Hemisphere to disrupt the flow of drugs in support of Presidential national security objectives. Location: Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean. Resources: Additional U.S. capabilities include: - Navy destroyers and helicopters - Coast Guard cutters and helicopters - Navy littoral combat ships - Customs and Border Protection maritime patrol aircraft - Navy P-8 patrol aircraft - Air Force E-3 AWACS aircraft (ISR) and E-8 JSTARS aircraft (ISR) - Security Forces Assistance Brigade (SFAB) Company (advise and assist) Ally & partner contributions: - 22 nations provide intelligence and operations support as part of Joint Interagency Task Force – South (JIATF-South) - Key partners in this fight: Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama, as well as European partners France, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom -- will provide capabilities. 50% of interdictions last year involved partners. U.S. whole of government efforts continue with interagency assets from Customs and Border Protection, DEA and others. These enhanced counter-narcotics operations constitute an increase in Naval destroyers, combat ships, aircraft and helicopters, and Coast Guard cutters. Additional assets double capabilities in the region. Purpose: Our increased presence will: - Disrupt the flow of illicit drugs to the homeland, thereby protecting Americans - Reassure allies and partners; build their capacity to contribute to the counternarcotics fight Additional Information: Drugs pose a threat to the homeland as drug overdoses kill around 70,000 Americans each year. Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic, increase drug trafficking and can easily contribute to the spread of the virus. Our multilateral counter-narcotics operations will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as supporting nations turn inward.

“The secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love. While I was conducting experiments to make spineless cacti, I often talked to the plants. . . . "You have nothing to fear," I would tell them. "You don't need your defensive thorns. I will protect you." Gradually the useful plant of the desert emerged in a thornless variety.” “The new culture war is about national identity rather than religion and 'transcendent authority.' It focuses on which groups the United States will formally admit to residence and citizenship. It asks the same question as the old culture war: 'Who are we?' But the earlier query was primarily about how we define ourselves morally. The new question is about how we define ourselves ethnically, racially and linguistically. It is, in truth, one of the oldest questions in our history, going back to our earliest immigration battles of the 1840s and 1850s.” Barack Obama 44th U.S. President Brad Sherman United States Representative Darrell Issa U.S. Representative Ed Markey United States Senator Fred Upton U.S. Representative John Conyers U.S. Representative John Dingell United States Representative Sandra Fluke Attorney Ted Lieu United States Representative

War Is stern, and Its realities are terrible. We will now see all the horrors that have been told of slaughter by machinery augmented by the efforts of Ihe lielllnerents to starve noncom btUantx. Tor that Is what the situation amounts' to; women and children, and the old men and the disabled, are to be made to feel the pangs of hunger, while the armies strive In the field on steadily shortening rations. Tbe protests or the United Stales, In the t ame of all neutral governments, have been un availing to serure modification of the belliger ents' attitude. It looks as if the neutrals not willing to become Involved In the war, can only let traffic between the enemy ports and neutrai ports fall into the condition of blockade running, with such reprisals as conditions may permit. Omaha-Made Goods. The "Buy Omaha-made-goods" campaign, which has born inaugurated co-operatively by a group of our enterprising manufacturers, should have the cordial support of every one who is ln tereHted in the growth and prosperity of Omaha, and that means every one who lives in Omaha. Omaha wants more manufactories, but more especially wants the factories It already has to be so completely successful as to warrant steady expansion and enlargement. The home product should have the homo market preference, not only to build up the home factory, but also to keep home wage-earners employed who, In turn, are the customers for everything sold and consumed here. i Above all. those who have Joined in the move ment to push Omaha-made goods by making them more widely known, are engaged in a pub licity campaign of which Omaha as & whole will share the benefits and will therefore be helping Itself by helping It along. The Politic of It. The Lincoln 8tar at last sees the point of the threatening political machine which would be created by the extension of our water works Into the lighting business without limitation to the political activities of Its managers and em ployes, says the Star, while conceding that it is Omaha's business so far as establishing an elec tric lighting plant is concerned, "but when it conies to building up an arrogant political ma chine that dictates party nominations, city, county and state, (or two political parties, it is everybody's business, and therefore the legisla ture's business." . . ' . i . The most serious complaint against the pri vate public service corporations haa always been their attempted control of politics, and interfer ence In local government, and laws have been enacted to stop this Intrusion. Yet simply ex changing political' masters would be no Improve ment.., Whether the legislature passes the water hoard lighting bill or not, it ought to write it into law that no one shall hold a salaried posjtlon under the Water board while Running for of fice or be eligible for re-employment for at least a year afterwards. - 1 State Bights and the National Gnard. All the sainted dead of democracy must have shuddered In their shrouds as Governor John H. Morehead of the sovereign state of Nebraska perused, the note) from Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war tn the cabinet of President Wil son, tantamount to an order that the governor have his legislature get busy without any further delay and pass such appropriation for support of the Nebraska National guard as will meet the Ap proval of the secretary of war. , Regardless of the wisdom or foolishness of Nebraska's legislative action, by what right does a member of the cabinet of a democratic president undertake to invade either the legisla tive or executive function of a sovereign state, even to give advice T In Indiana only a few days ago, the legislature repudiated a state-wide primary law as a rebuke to Secretary Brayan for his meddling in purely state matters, but that example seems to have been lost on Becretary Garrison. , - On what evil days have the Jetfersoulan traditions fallen! It looks as if the corner stone of the democratic temple were finally to descend o the state of being innocuously used as a mere hitching block for the democratic donkey. , Hindsight at a Factor in Reform. The unfortunate predicament of the habit ual drug-users Is an example of one effect of much of the reform thatja achieved by hysteria. No one-will question the wisdom of the move for the abolition of the dope traffic. Its wiping out will prove one of the best things ever done In this country, and the effort to that end haa th) bupport of all right thinking people. But the failure to provide tor the proper treatment of the victims of that traffic is characteristic of the short-sighted methods too frequently adopted in the bringing about of reforms. It is not enough to say that the way to auppress an evil is to suppress It. Msny factors of utmost lmportauce enter Into the problem, and should be given full weight In determining any plan tor dealiug with It. The present experience should serve to exact more careful consideration of details la the next hiove to abolish any similarly deep rooted practice to which society objects. Dublin and Cork have revoked '"the free dom of the city" conferred by each on Kuno Meyer, a -.German professor of Gaelic who taught the aucient language in the schools of fork before the wsr. Mr. Meyer Incurred the. displeasure of the Irish cities by presenilis "Deutsrhland Veber Alles" to lrlsh-Americsns in the eastern cities: Tbe natlvta revere ex-, ponenta of Gaelic so long as they do not uae their talents as a hammer against home rule. SSWSBBBlSSlSBBBSSBSBBBSBBSBSBBBBSBBBlaBSBWSr , While .democratic leaders are lauding the output and efficiency of the Sixty-third congress, the administration Is sorely perplexed for. means to cover up the growing deficit la tbe national treasury' - Ireland and the Irish IT ZUIH BtTBBAJLD. IRELAND Is about the slie of the state of Indiana. It has five million Inhsbltants. Once It had eight, and, when one thinks of absentee, landlordism, we wonder why the other five, millions did not go, too. The "Emerald Isle" Is very beautiful. The winds Mow In from the sea and supply a humidity that makes the fiowers blossom and the plants grow. In Ireland the pasture lands and meadow land, blossom-decked snd water-fed, crossed and recrossed by never-ending hedge-rows that stretch away and lose themselves In misty nothlnifrness. are fair as a poet's dream. Birds carol In the hawthorne's snd yellow furie all day long, and the fragrant summer wlnda that blow lailly across the fields are laden with the perfumes of blossoms. The Irish love the land of their fathers with a child-like love. Their hearts are hound up in sweet inomorl's, rooted by song and legend In nooks and curious corners, so the tendrils of affection hold them fast. Whenever an Irish family embarks for the New World part of the five million Inhabitants go down to the waterside to see them off. Not long sgo I stood on the dork at Quoenstown watching two fine lads walk up the gang-plank of the steamship, clad In corduroy, each carrying a big, red handkerchief containing his worldly goods. And the next day I kept thinking of those two fine young men, and t thought of the wonderful careers of many Just such Irish boys as these! The boys had health, strength, ambition. They were receptive, eager, csrnest. And yet there wss something rolllcksoine about them, after all. Doubtless they could dance and sing; and I knew perfectly well. If necessary, they could fight, and perhas they could fight when it was not necessary. When the two boys with their big handkerchiefs arrive In America they will get Jobs; they will work hard and faithfully; they will carry big burdens, anil out of the work they will get a deal of laughter. And If a pivotal point comes where the average rt)an lays down and quits, these boys win work on Into the night and show the grit of the Irish race. They will become foremen, suiwrlntendents, owner. Such has been the typical career or hundreds of Irishmen In America. Think of John B. McDonald, who came to this country with the peat mud on his bare feet, and who built the New York subways an engineering Job that had been declared by so-called engineers as Im possible. And how about William O. McAdoo, John J. Ryan, Morgan J. O'Brien. William R. Grace, Henry Ford, James Fan-ell. senator O'Oorman and scores of other big boys whose forebears were fed on spuds and spinach! , I tsn remember a time when the section men on the railroads of America were all Irish, and we used to sing: "Paddy on the railroad, fifty cents a day." But we do not sing It now. If you wsnt to find Paddy, Just look for him In the. general offices. , The Irish possess Initiative, originality, energy. They can plan, devise, build. Take up your official rallmay guide and observe the names of presidents and vice presidents, superin tendents, general passenger agents, traffic managers, and you can easily Imagine you are looking through a Dublin telephone directory. There were tjie Harahans, father and son, president snd general superintendent of the Illinois Central railway. And of the engineers and builder Just a little- removed from the peat bog let us name Harrl man, Flood, O'Brien, Larkln, Sullivan, Gary. Geary Lanahan, Keneflck, Drlsooll, Mackey. , William T. Noonan, the railroad president. Is a typical son of transplanted Irish parents; or take Hannaford. president of the Northern PasTMc. These represent the; secrnd crop of Milesians, men who do things In a big and generous way; men who never know they are whipped. And a man who never knows lie Is licked never Is. James J.' Hill is the supreme type. Mr. Hill re tired from business twelve years ago-for one whote day. He manages two transcontinental raailroads and has a say la a dosen others. r ' Then we have Sir Thomaa Hhaughneasy; president of the-wonderful Canadian Pacific railway, who was once a switchman and has worked his way up, step by step, until ho Is one of the best educated men In the odd and head of the only railroad In the world span ning a continent. When England wants a particularly strong man it haa to go over to Iroland and pick some pink-cheeked boy.' And so we hear that England's greatest orator was Edmund Burke; Its sweetest and gentlest poet, Oliver Goldsmith; one of Its greatest scientists, John Tyndall; Arthur Wellesley the man who gave the Coralcan hU Waterloo was Arthur Wellesley, duke of Wellington all Irish, And surely It doesn't take many Irishmen like George Bernard Shaw to make a dosen! In the game today we have Kitchener, Jelllco. French and a hundred others right In Class A, all very much Irish. Ws have had one Irish prrsident, Andrew Jackson. President McKlnley had a goodly drop of IrisU blood in his veins. ' The willingness of the Irish people to dq away with militarism Is apparent, for then "Irish confetti" and the blackthorn will come Into their own. Nearly all the heavyweight champions of the world have been Irishmen Kllraln, SuUtvan, Corbet t, Jeffries, with numerous other O'Brlena, Bulllvans. Calahans, Duffy s, Mahers, Kilbanea coming to the fore; wltfi McBride the world champion athlete. , , la oratory, poetry, history, finance, statesmanship the Irish have taken always and forever great and Important part. We are told there are more Irishmen in New York than In Ireland. In politics we have Governor Dunne of Illinois and Governor Wslah of Massachusetts as specimen bricks, with enough more bricks to build a house or start a war. The oppreaslon. poverty and struggle that Ireland haa endured have been of untold tneftt for its chil dren, for the Uv of Compensation never rests? Man's business Is to fight eternally. ' ' And out cf Ireland have come many noble char acters who have influenced the whole round world for good. No xymnaslum can 'ever produce the' magnificent physical types of man and woman that you will see along the country reads in Ireland. Hern Is 'beauty that might make the Apollo Belvedere and the Venus of Mllo Jealous. ' k . Transplanted to a happier political clime, with room' to grow and evglve, and do and dare, the Irish show their capacity tor work, thought, organisation and high endeavor. The Irish form a citizenship of which we can a'l well be proud. While at times they rub us up, they give a touch of needed sentiment to the Teutonte tribes; add passion and seal to the slow-going Briton; set a puce for tho Italians and they themsetve are evolved, refined, softened, educated by the complexity of conditions and the new environment Into which they are drawn. Ireland today Is nearer political freedom than It ever has liaen in the past. Ita lot la happier now than ever I before In modern history, God is certainly good to the Irish. - And that's why 8t.

To tha Editor of The Bee: Nearly fifty years have elapsed since the last nettle of the wnr of the rebellion was fought, and so far as I am concerned that war is over and has been for many years and, with the bare ex ception rf the rr en who were responsible for the atrocities of southern prisons Anderaonvllle In particular. I hold no malice or 111 will whatever; can fraternise with the ex-confedcrate soldier as a frienii or brother, but aa one who suf fi red and endured the tortures of south ern prisons for more than eight months, most of the time at Andersnnvirte, I csn nct pass unnoticed the utterances of one Dr. Charles W. Utiles before the Knife and Fork club of Kansas City, wherein he is crcolted with having said that "It WSS hookworm A nil tint glarvallnn n- 111 rcatment that caused the death of I5.0K) or the .000 union soldiers held at the confederate prison at Andersonvllle dur ing tho civil war." most remarkable statement; and a man who wilt in the Hffht of history and the mass of evidence which lias been written and published broadcast over this country, and the ad verse experiences of men both living and dead, give utterance to such erroneous statement displays a gross Ignorance of the facts or an utter disregard for the troth: either should discredit him. The commander at Andersonvllle wss the heArtloss old fiend. General John If. Winder, who was the willing tool of his Vuipctiors In their harhamua nnlle. r disabling by diseases and murdering by starvation their helpless captives. He was the cowardly son of the craven Gen eral W. H. Minder. who fled with his militia from the battle ot Bladensburg and left defenseless the national capital to be raptured and burned by the British army In 1SH. It was the, son of this pol troon, a soured, sniveling, white-haired old renegade of the government that educated him. who In August, ISM. boasted that "he could point to more killed and disabled Yankees at Anderson vllle than General Lc fiort .1,1. twenty of his best regiments In the field." a-.. ii', iook at our s.m new graves made In one month over In the cemetery beyond the stockade; every one hsd a dead Yankee soldier In It." Henri Wlrz a Swiss doctor, was his equally cruel and cowardly subordinate, who had direct charge of the stockade. History tells us that "Colonel p. T. Chandler, a confederate miltary inspector In Intrepid officer and a humane one, re ported to the rtlchmond authorities early in August. 14, that the horrors of the prison were difficult to describe and. Us condition a disgrace to civilisation." He strongly recommended that General Winder, In command of the post, should be removed, and "the substitution in his place of some one who united both mercy and Judgment with somo feeling of humanity and consideration for the wel fare and comfort of the vast number of unfortumiates placed under his control some one at least who does not advocate deliberately and in cold blood, the pro priety of leaving them In their present condition until their number has been sufficiently reduced by flcath to mRke tho present arrangement suffc for their accommodation." This report, a fearful Indictment, was sent by General Cooper, the confederate inspector general, to the confederate secretary or war, August 28, 18M, with the endorsement that the condition of this prison wss a reproach to the confederacy as a nation. Looking a little further along in hist ory we find that Dr. Joseph Jones, a distinguished confederate surgeon ' of Agosta. Oe... made a visit to the Ander sonvllle stockade In the month of August, 1164. and In his report gives the following statements: "in Juno there were 2Jl in July 29,030 and In August K.S99 pris oners confined In the stockade. No. shade tree was left In the entire Inclosure.' The stencil arising from this dense popula tion crowded together here, performing all the duUes of life was horrible in the extreme Tha accommodations for the, sick were so defective, and the condi tion of tho others so pitiable that from. February" 24 to August SI 9,179 died, or nearly one-third of the entire number In the stockade. There were near 6.000 prisoners seriously 111. and the deaths exceeded IO per day. Large numbers were, walking about who were not re ported sick, who were suffering from severe and Incurable diarrhoea and scurvy. 1 visited . 2.000 sick-only- one medical officer was In attendance whereas at least twenty should have been em ployed. From tbe crowded condition, bad diet, unbearable filth, dejected appear ance of the prisoners, their systems had become so disordered that the slightest abrasion of the akin, from heat of the un or even' a mosquito bite, they took on rapid ana " frightful ulceration and gangrene. The sick were lying upon the bare floors of open sheds, without even straw to rest upon. These haggard, de jected, living skeletons, crying for medical aid and food;, and the ghastly corpses with glased eyeballs. , staring up Into vacant space, with flies swarming down their open,, mouths and over their rags Infested wlta swarms of lice and maggots, as they lay among the sick and dying formed a picture of helpless, hopeless misery. Impossible for words to portray. Millions of fli;s swarmed over everything and covered the faces of the sick - patients, and crowded down their open mouths, .depositing their maggots m-the gangreaous' wounda of the living end In the ruputha of the dead. These abuses were due to the ' total absence of any-system or sanitary regulations.'' Be It said, to their credit, that the name Andersonvllle la a stench In the nostrils of the good people of the south; so much so that the name does not appear on their maps; the name baling been Changed to Anderson. The "vUle" has been dropped tn 'order, I suppose, to better disguise the spot that haa become a synonym of more fiendish barbarity.' and cold blooded cowardly cruelty than was ever before perpetrated by a man or nicii pro fessing civillsatloa. flxty miles south of Macon, and a half-mile east of what la now known as Anderron, lies the spot of ground, whose eaady slopes, fifty years ago. bote on tholr scorched sides more of human misery, despair and death in its moat rruel fnrma than- ever before la the world's history polluted so small a space of toe earth' a 'surface. Yet, after the lapse of fifty years, while there are men t:ll living who suffered and endured these inhumanities there comes along one Dr. utiles, who says It' was' hookworm," and not starvation r 111 treatment "that caused the death of U, I'nton soldiers at Andersonvllle prison." I wonder If the doctor could cite a parallel case of "hookworm," as he Is pleased to call IC . What say you men of Omahs. who were fhere? W. H. Kusseil. M. K. R'tdon, D.

We point with pride to tin heroic deeds performed on both sides. The Intensity of feeling which exited fifty yesrs ago has passed away, and we are again one and undivided. And the splen did ciireer of the south Is yet In Its in fancy. Can any one doubt that, to a great degree, the valor, patriotism and sacrifices of the Union soldiers end the loyal women had much. 1 was about to say all. to do with this great develop ment of the south? Thy saved it from suicide and preserved It to the Union. Except for their efforts, instead of a union ot states, there would have been a division, and no one knows whether the area now covered' on this continent by the stars and stripes would be now oc cupied by two central governments, or by twenty warring sections, and the world would never have seen the marvelous growth of the south, nor Ihe commanding position that the nation row holds among the powers of the world.

All-things-being-equal I should be thinking about a new Trek and journey in about January of 2019. Something to think and make sure to do something about – Key 2018 Election Dates in Florida – General Election – November 6 According to FiveThirtyEight, Sep 7 article “Just About Everyone In Florida Has Already Decided Who To Vote For”, (Dhrumil Mehta and Janie Velencia) New Quinnipiac University polls of the gubernatorial and Senate races in Florida found that both are neck and neck, with voters almost evenly split between the Democratic and Republican candidates. That’s not all that surprising in a perpetual swing state like Florida. But here’s what did catch our eye: The vast majority of Florida voters are already committed to a candidate with about two months still left until Election Day. Only 3 percent of voters in the gubernatorial poll and 2 percent of voters in the Senate poll said they were undecided.” All-things-being-equal, and not depending upon the polls, it is critical that all eligible Floridian voters get out and vote in 2 months.

“There coming to take him away, ha-ha!” Another accurate one, Clay!! Golly. I don’t understand. Der Trumpmeister said just this morning that he had never experienced such a loving, wonderful environment. Hail to the right wing dictator in chief. This isn’t just a supporter, that is their entire party platform. The only thing we can look forward to out of a Trump presidency is plagiarism and hate. JBBLAW: correct, slander or libel must be based on false claims, your list still understates all the dispicable elements to Trump’s “character”. Didn’t I hear them call for a firing squad as well? How low can you get…… Finally! a normal one. To steal one from my Twitter stream, some day Trump will look a reporter in the eye on national television and say, “I never ran for President.” Wait, the exact tweet is here:https://twitter.com/mattaukamp/status/755511596047298564 The comic is presumably referring to an article such as this one. “He’s off, but honestly more so.”.Bernie, that is.

This is an excellent lesson in how politics works, and in how political parties can play the press. Giuliani is not alone, you see: It is curious, I think, that they all have been having this memory lapse. In seriousness, though, this is by no means a new technique, but I do think it is a tad brazen to do it with regards to something as obvious as a terrorist attack.

Uhm, Houston, we have a problem. As if we did not already have enough problems at the border with our agents being overwhelmed, their situation is about to get far worse. Reports are now surfacing that Mexican border agents are fed up with the rising surge, so they are starting to quit en masse. Not Happening Joe Biden’s loose border policies have already resulted in record-setting illegal immigration. With Title 42 now on the chopping block (not that it was being enforced), the last real threat of being deported is gone. So, illegals are flocking to the border in even larger numbers. Mexican border workers, who were already getting overwhelmed, are now walking off the job rather than face the expected record-setting numbers. One officer stated, “Work has doubled and even tripled for us. “Some weeks we have no days off. “We pull in double shifts for the same pay and are sent from one end of the country to the other with less money for our expenses that we must pay up front.” The same agent stated that roughly half the officers assigned to work on it have already resigned on just one team. So, my friends, if you think it was bad before, this spring, summer, and fall are going to be a pure and utter disaster. Source: New York Post

Moral Panics Moral panics – what are they Stages in moral panics Who are the folk devils? Examples Binge drinking, terrorism, hoodies Moral panics and the media Other ways of thinking about moral panics and alternatives Essay question – relationship between the media and moral panics Learning outcome 1: Identify principal issues in Media and Cultural Studies What are moral panics? British Sociologist Jock Young –first published reference to moral panic (1971) Cohen analysed Mods and Rockers in 1970s Cohen (1972 cited in Thompson 1998, pp.7-8) ‘A condition, episode, person or group of persons emerge to become defined as a threat to society values and interests’ Troubling behaviour Stages of Moral Panics Stage 1 An event attracts media coverage Intensive media surveillance Stage 2 Wider social implications of the event fuelled by media concern and debate Primary definers interviewed (expert and professional opinions) Folk devils identified (things/people that threaten society) Stage 3 Response from authorities Social control Legislation implemented Morals, Folk Devils and Panics Morals – threat to values/beliefs/ways of live/society as a whole Folk devils – things/people that threaten society and are perceived as evil Panic – exaggerated/irrational responses Groups who can instigate moral panics Press, pressure groups, politicians, police, public opinion If the above all agree on a moral panic it is powerful But there are potential conflicts of interest Example 1: Binge Drinking Young people 16-25 year olds getting drunk fast Causing nuisance in city centres and threat to public order Contradictions (government receives tax on alcohol and more liberal licensing hours) Police – alcohol causes disorder Law creators conflict with law enforces Therefore not a fully fledged moral panic Percentage of Adults in UK who never drink alcohol Source: Telegraph Online Example 2: Terrorism Fear of terrorism News persuades opinion Exaggeration of number of evildoers Threatened by an internal enemy Acts which enable authorities to scrutinise electronic communications Power of indefinite detention without trial (breach of Human Rights Act) Example 3: Hoodies Banned from Bluewater shopping centre Hoodies associated with moral decline among youth in UK Excluded people from gathering in the centre Three stages Event (youth wearing hoodies perceived as criminal) Media coverage – news reports, programmes like Little Britain fuelled this perception Control – banning of hoodies Moral panics and the Media Effects ideas about the media Children who commit violent acts Video games and horror films highlighted in such instances Effects model outdated ‘For some children under some conditions, some television is harmful. For other children under the same conditions, it may be beneficial. For most children under most conditions television is probably neither harmful nor particularly beneficial’ (Schramm et al. 1961 in Briggs and Cobley 1998: pp. 260-261) No direct effect/cause relationship between media and behaviour. Other ways of thinking about moral panics Face awkward questions about social problems Defining, labelling, punishing unacceptable behaviour confirms who we are, what we believe and stand for Highlights boundaries around communities Moral panics challenges central values in mainstream society Trying to control social changes And reconfirm moral values Not a moral panic To what degree something has or has not become a moral panic Or deviates from a typical moral panic Often occurs where there is agreement about the seriousness/implications of the issue And where different interested groups agree on this (e.g. police, politicians, press, public) Resistance to moral panics may occur Moral panics may be derailed. What you do/don’t believe Alternative models Elite engineered model Moral panic is manufactured to divert attention Grassroots model Provides release for social insecurity All models – the threat is exaggerated Justifies legislation Essay Question Explore the relationship between the media and moral panics 1500 words, 50% You could choose one moral panic or more than one to focus on You could explore the media reporting of a moral panic in press, television etc. Think about whether the moral panic fits the criteria of a moral panic or not? You can use Box of Broadcasts for television Blog contribution – 2 parts: Skills gained and how you have used the feedback from assignment 1 Summary Moral panics are about changes that occur Which threaten something about societal morals/values/behaviour Stages of moral panics Not everything reaches stage 3 Some moral panics fade away, some reoccur Moral panics may be useful for governments wanting to pass legislation References Briggs, A. and Cobley, P.

Seth Abramson is angry because CNN allowed Jason Miller to be on their network but they ghosted him. Publicly. Now, considering the type of people CNN has had on (Avenatti, Richard Spencer, etc) the fact they ghosted Seth is … well, it’s pretty damn funny. But add to that his claim that Chris Cuomo was still secretly begging him to help on his show? Perfection. It's times like these, when a CNN regular is found to have slipped an abortion pill into a woman's smoothie, that I reminisce about repeatedly appearing on CNN and getting rave reviews from an exec via email before they inexplicably ghosted me in a way they never did Jason Miller — Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) May 23, 2021 We’re not sure if we should point and laugh at Seth, CNN, or Chris Cuomo. Maybe all three. (PS) In fairness, CNN ghosted me *publicly*, but Chris Cuomo kept writing me backchannel asking for help with his show, a documented course of info exchange his team then lied about to a major media outlet in a way (note the trend) they never did about their ties to Jason Miller — Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) May 23, 2021 Anyone else want to see that documented course of info exchange? And sorry but man, this sounds like a thread from an angry ex-girlfriend. Or boyfriend. We wouldn’t want to misgender anyone. Ahem. (PS2) I guess all I'm saying is that significant elements within major media are irreparably broken—even as other elements continue to do great work—so thank God for independent journalism platforms like Substack, as otherwise it would be wall-to-wall commentary from Jason Miller — Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) May 23, 2021 Recommended So take THAT CNN!

Baker (@dianesbaker1) May 23, 2021 Yeah … what about that, Seth? The issues with Jason Miller were evident well before 2019 and whatever issue CNN ever developed with me was never explained and it is 2021 — Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) May 23, 2021 So really, this isn’t about Jason Miller but his hurt feelings over being ghosted. — ZaZon (@ZaZon9253) May 23, 2021 This doesn’t look good for CNN. But considering their ratings right now we’re not entirely surprised although we thought the main reason they were losing viewers was because ‘bad orange man’ was gone. Who knew their own key audience was sick of them? *popcorn* *** Related:

Aug 25, 2021 Thomas Kenniff is an Iraq Veteran, Defense Attorney and now the Republican candidate for District Attorney in New York City.

Governor Bryant Says he will stay in Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant is walking back speculation he might consider a job in the Trump administration. While he was in Biloxi Tuesday, Bryant said he plans to serve his full term as governor, a term with three years remaining. Bryant campaigned for Donald Trump by raising money and speaking in several states. Speculation about a possible move to Washington came after Trump won the election last week. Bryant had said he did not expect a call to serve in the administration, but also said if a job offer were made, he would consider it.

We have accepted the introduction of inferior teaching methods to dumb down American children. Education “leaders” promise equality of opportunity, but really want equality of outcome. Why have Federal and state education “leaders” allowed the standards to drop to unacceptable levels? Citizens have remained silent about the crisis, all the while they are being priced out of their homes with ever-increasing school property taxes. We have funded our nation’s demise.

Mandel with an early lead…. “It is absolutely so much more than a vaccine pass, it is—I can not stress enough that it has the power to turn off your life, or to turn on your life, to let you engage in society or be marginalized.” Many people think critical race theory is part of the civil rights movement, but this is incorrect. Why have both political parties not solved the drug problem? This is cultural replacement, pure and simple. Some very powerful men in Bruxelles and the City of London (with a little help from their cohort in Vienna, Venice, the Hague, and Khmelnitskji) are using all of their power and pelf (ill-gotten gains) to break the Europeans’ spirit, in order to minimize their resistance to the Great Reset. Our Constitution is colorblind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law.” This is an example of another citizen ensure that the bureaucrats follow the law. Health passes are tied in with the far broader agenda known as the Great Reset, which involves a complete redesign of supply chains and capital organization structures.

We’ve got two and a half weeks till Super Bowl LV. Luckily, you don’t have to wait to place some prop bets. Before you make your daily fantasy picks for Wednesday night hoops, let’s break down some of the best bets to make on Inauguration day. What will be said first by Joe Biden? - America (-120) - Nation (-120) Ooo same odds! I’ll take America (-120). Don’t be surprised if he says “America is a Nation,” first. Would that be considered a bad beat? Will Biden say “Scranton”? - No (-250) - Yes(+170) This is like asking, “will the Jaguars take Trevor Lawrence?” I mean, c’mon. Have you listened to a Biden speech like, ever? He really wants to make sure you know he’s “middle class Joe” from Scranton, Pa. Lock this one in. When will “America United” be said? - 10 minutes or more(-125) - 5:00 - 9:59(+125) - 0:01 - 4:59(+200) This is literally the theme of the speech. It has to be said (even if it’s not really true at the moment). Vegas likes Biden to hold the phrase till the end. I like the odds that he’ll say it within the first five minutes. Will Joe Biden walk to the podium wearing a mask? - Yes(-160) - No(+120) Of course. He’s been walking to the podium with a mask on for months. Don’t expect things to change here. Length of Joe Biden’s speech - Over 17:30(-150) - Under 17:30(+110) I know it might be tempting to take the under. But Biden’s DNC speech was around 25 minutes. 17:30 seems a bit short here. Take the over.

Since right after the 7.1 earthquake hit here in Puebla, Mexico, earlier this week, people have been mobilizing to help out. With almost 300 confirmed deaths, and thousands of collapsed buildings, everyone I know has donated provisions. Other friends are organizing caravans and building materials to go to the more isolated and poorer communities. In fact, some towns have reported that they have more visitors helping out than they typically have during peak tourist season, and others in Mexico City said that there is more food being donated, at least in the short term, than is actually needed. As most of the living and dead have been removed from the rubble, the focus is now shifting towards housing and reconstruction. Here are some images from the web of the many inspiring ways that people have chipped in to help in light of this tragedy.

[ad_1] Rep. Nunes: Democrats had ‘deep, dark, sick’ fantasies about Russia Shanon Peckham : OAN Newsroom UPDATED 3:25 PM PT — Sunday, May 10, 2020 Congressman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) has said the perpetrators of the failed Russia hoax must be held responsible. On Sunday, he suggested Democrats have had “deep dark and sick” fantasies about Russia and President Trump. Nunes added top Democrat officials and their followers got excited over the false dossier. The congressman has called for criminal referrals for people behind the allegations of collusion, coordination or conspiracy between President Trump and Russia. He also met with the president recently and stressed those who launched the Russia hoax must face the music. “Like Putin was my best friend. He had no calls to Russia, we had no calls from Russia for years. All of a sudden, we have this great friendship. By the way, getting along with Russia is a great thing. But I have to say, Devin was incredible. He understood it was a hoax before anyone else knew what was happening.” – Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States Nunes also accused Democrats of orchestrating and financing the Russia probe to manipulate U.S. politics in their favor.

I originally saw the video last night on a site other than Gateway Pundit. My first reaction was, "Well, that's really rude." This is what Jim Hoft (bless his heart) posted at Gateway Pundit: WOW! New York audience Completely Tunes Ted Cruz Out at GOP Dinner - along with the following video. Except there's one big problem.New York Values— Ted Cruz spoke at the New York Republican Dinner on Thursday night. The audience spoke over him. You can barely hear Ted over the din in the room. The longer Ted spoke the louder the room got. By the time he wrapped up his ridiculously long speech the crowd was talking, clinking glasses and paying no attention to the Texas Senator. According to Rush this morning IT DID NOT HAPPEN! Rush was at the event and gave a lengthy explanation this morning as to how the whole thing was orchestrated on purpose. He's claiming everything was fine until about the last 10 minutes or so of Cruz's speech when suddenly the mics and sound system went all wonky on the broadcast - not the room. He figured they'd fix it - except they didn't. Finally, Fox cut away and Hannity, who was in the studio, said they were having sound problems. Since I wasn't there, it's impossible for me to say whose version of the events was correct. Why should I believe Rush over Jim Hoft? I'm going to apply a bit of my homespun logic here. - Rush really doesn't have an axe to grind. - He was present at the event. - It would be very easy for his version to be refuted - As far as I know Jim Hoft was not at the event - Jim Hoft does have an axe to grind as he has chosen Trump as his savior™ In the meantime, peeps, QUESTION EVERYTHING! It appears some of the commenters at Gateway Pundit got it:
