I tracked terror events claimed by muslims in the months following 9/11/2001. I built a spreadsheet to hold the details.
I can sort the details.
Muslims were killing eight of their brothers and sisters for each infidel they killed.
Another year or two and I will not able to speak or write this truth.
Peace is waged by making love. Love is hardly mentioned in any translation of Islam’s holy books.
The leaders of the EU, Germany, France, Spain and England are no longer allies of the United States of America. Time to cut our losses. No doubt many of the people there are still our friends. Their politicians are not our friends. We can leave citizens and subjects there to decide their own political battles. It is past time for the United States to bring our military home. Our system is not designed or suited to empire.
Discussions of inequality often take it as a given that inequality is rising. They proceed from there to explain what is happening. The data show increase in some places, but declining inequality in just as many. “It’s a mistake to think that inequality is rising everywhere. Over the last 25 years, inequality has gone up in many countries and has fallen in many others. It’s important to know this. It shows that rising inequality is not ubiquitous, nor inevitable in the face of globalisation, and suggests that politics and policy at the level of individual countries can make a difference.”
“It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, …[you are] enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
“In the name of God, go!”
“Ye sordid prostitutes, have you not defil’d this sacred place, and turn’d the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?” the future Lord Protector said. “Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation.”
~ Oliver Cromwell, speaking to the English Parliament in 1653

“Donald Trump Wants “Total Freedom Of Press” After Ordered To Return Jim Acosta Badge”
Yet, another verification that activist courts and judges are a big problem. Judicial power has gone to their heads. Specifically the separation of powers between the branches of government is far out of balance. Try to do in the Supreme Court or any court what Acosta did in the White House. Acosta would be arrested immediately for contempt of court and dragged out if he did not immediately sit down and shut up.
The court has no business telling any President how to run a meeting in the White House. Imagine a President trying to tell the Supreme Court to allow a member of the press to get on his soapbox in the courtroom. That is how ridiculous this judge’s ruling is. Laughable really. #WhiteHouse
What’s next? Is a judge going to require that turkey to be served for Thanksgiving at the White House must be sourced by open public bid, so that turkey farmers get due process? This ruling was beyond frivolous.
Part of New York is now represented in the U.S. Congress by this profoundly ignorant person. Here is her full quote: “And so I do think that right now we have this no-holds-barred, Wild West hyper-capitalism. What that means is profit at any cost. Capitalism has not always existed in the world, and it will not always exist in the world. When this country started, we were not a capitalist [nation], we did not operate on a capitalist economy.”
The truth and history is that in 1776 and prior to that Adam Smith and Thomas Jefferson and other founders were in direct communication. Adam Smith is the author of THE seminal book of capitalism, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations. That book is available for free online and in almost all U.S. libraries, or you can read the very large size original first edition in giant font at the Scottish National Library in Edinburgh, Scotland.
