Tulsi Gabbard’s ditches the Dem party in an open video address
A few comments first. For starters, I lost any trust I might have had for Tulsi Gabbard when she endorsed that ultra-fake liberal Bernie Sanders. Second, I have taken the decision not to comment on US internal politics on this blog, but in this case I think that rather than seeing Gabbard’s video as an internal US politics phenomenon, I see it as a sign of the amazing state of decay of the USA as a nation: when a (supposed) left liberal takes on the talking points of (supposed) conservatives, something major is happening, especially when you have a (supposed) liberal President in the White House. Finally, Gabbard is way, waaaaaaaay too smart not to see that the Dem Party is a political Titanic and no matter how loud the “propaganda orchestra” plays, that ship is sinking very, very fast. Time to leave it!
Garden/Crop Planning I: Where to get the Seeds?
It's almost time to start planning for next year's seed needs!
There is this myth with conservatives that there are "good" billionaires and "bad" billionaires. They base this on culture war talking points. They almost universally refuse to accept that those "liberal values" that these billionaire-owned companies are signaling are nothing more than cynical marketing campaigns.
Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve Chairman and architect of the 2008-2010 Wall Street bailout, received the highest award in economics.
Giving Bernanke the memorial Nobel in economics for the study of financial crises is the econ equivalent of giving Kissinger the Nobel peace prize
