Who Gave Us Ruth Badder Ginsburg?

By Patrick J. Buchanan Posted on July 16, 2016 Posted in Aggregated

“Her mind is shot.” That was the crisp diagnosis of Donald Trump on hearing the opinion of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the possibility he might become president. It all began with an interview last week when the justice was asked for her thoughts on a Trump presidency. Ginsburg went on a tear. “I can’t imagine what this place (the Supreme Court) would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to … Continue reading →

Progressive-Neocon Alliance

By John V. Walsh Posted on July 16, 2016 Posted in Aggregated

Norman Solomon betwixt the political sheets with Robert Kagan? How could that be? Has our political world turned upside down? Driving south to Mountain View in my new home state of California, I tuned into KPFA, the Pacifica outlet in the Bay Area. Norman Solomon, longtime prominent figure in Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) and co-founder of “Roots Action” was being interviewed on a program called “Talkies.” Just a few hours earlier Bernie Sanders had endorsed Hillary Clinton, betraying the millions who voted for him (and voted against her) and losing the respect of many millions more. On air, Solomon … Continue reading →

Worried About the Dangers We’re in?

By James Ostrowski Posted on July 16, 2016 Posted in Aggregated

The Cargo Cultists are not any less rational than the Progressives’s Cult of the State… We live in perilous times. We do not know what is going to happen on any given day. I am pretty good at predicting the future. After all, before Ferguson, I predicted the rise of civil unrest in America due to racial tensions. See, Progressivism, pages 17-18. Alas, I am not sure where we will go from here. Here’s the problem. There is a huge gulf between what is actually happening and the half-baked ideologies and irrational mindsets most of us use to understand what … Continue reading →

Thought Control

By Butler Shaffer Posted on July 16, 2016 Posted in Aggregated

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers. – Thomas Pynchon Human understanding is premised upon a continuing refinement in the quality of questions we bring to any subject matter. If our distant ancestors knew little more about their physical world than the proposition that “some things fall and hurt us,” their ability to safely function in the world might have been insufficient to sustain their lives. After centuries of trying to explain such occurrences by reciting such maxims as that things fall to their natural level in the world, our ancestors … Continue reading →

Who Really Murdered RFK?

By No Author Posted on July 16, 2016 Posted in Aggregated

There is a vast literature on the CIA-directed assassination of President John Kennedy. Most Americans have long rejected the Warren Commission’s findings and have accepted that there was a conspiracy. There is much less research on the assassination of JFK’s brother, Senator Robert Kennedy, and, if asked, far fewer people would say it was a conspiracy and a cover-up. They may not even know the alleged assassin’s name. But the assassination of Robert Kennedy did involve a conspiracy and a cover-up. There is abundant evidence that the accused, Sirhan Sirhan, who was standing 1-3 feet in front of Kennedy when … Continue reading →
