Central banks are increasingly turning to experimental monetary policy to deal with stagnant economic growth and the danger of deflation. If things keep going in the same direction, it'll soon come to America.

Winston-Salem, North Carolina: Forsyth County Puts the Ban on Mother Jones
The Charlotte Daily Observer of February 6th reported the news:
Forsyth Commissioners Put Ban on
"Mother Jones."Special to The Observer.
Winston-Salem, Feb. 5.-The county commissioners, in session to-day, declined to grant an application for "Mother Jones" to speak in the court house Friday and Saturday, on the ground that the board is "opposed to the court house being used for continual agitation of socialism."

Today's number is eight
Saturday night, JtC, he had a dream.
Sorry that I have not been around. I am battling a severe episode of ME/CFS.
This won't be much of an essay, but I have discovered another climate scientist who is stating that we have passed the point of no return. I have been noticing that I discover a new scientist/activist who explains we are past the point of controlling climate change about every eight weeks.
It's South Carolina, so don't expect a happy ending.
When the boy, who wishes to remain anonymous, began transitioning when he was in middle school, girls complained that there was a boy in their bathroom. So he was allowed to use the boys room. He did that for three years without incident.
Then the boy moved on to Socastee High School. Again, no problem for three years.
One day a male teacher was leaving the boys restroom while the boy was entering.
No word on what the hell the adult teacher was doing in the boys room.
He must’ve looked at his records and saw the sex on his records because that’s the only way he could’ve known.
--the boy's mother
Instead of the teacher being told by the administration to butt out, the boy was called in to the office and told he must use the girls bathroom or go to the nurse's office.
If he started using the girl’s bathroom in 12th grade, it’s going to create a problem. I felt like that would be dangerous.

I know that I didn't see this coming, and I doubt that many other people did either. Bernie Sanders overwhelming advantage of support from young women (50% - 31%) is causing the split in the feminist movement.
Good morning 99percenters!

Pentagon Releases 200 Photos of Bush-Era Prisoner Abuse, Thousands Kept Secret
'What the photos that the government has suppressed would show is that abuse was so widespread that it could only have resulted from policy or a climate calculated to foster abuse.'The Pentagon on Friday was forced to release nearly 200 photographs of bruises, lacerations, and other injuries inflicted on prisoners presumably by U.S. military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan.
