My husband received a mailer today from Americans for Prosperity. You know the roots of the Tea
Party founded by Charles H. and David Koch. That Americans for Prosperity.
So much imagine my surprise when I read the mailer. It begins:
TAX LOOPHOLES ARE LIKE ZOMBIES . . .
THEY JUST WON’T DIE
It goes on to say:
62% of Americans believe the economy is rigged—and they’re right!
Yesterday, June 26, was the first Democrat Klown debate. The only thing missing were the funny hats. I suppose those may be coming with debate number two. I didn't watch the whole thing but I did see that the Madcow was relatively restrained. Chuck Clod however was his usual pesky self.

Image of drowned father and daughter sparks global outrage against US anti-immigrant rampage
The photo of a young Salvadoran worker and his 23-month-old daughter washed up on the shore of the Rio Grande has gone viral on social media and sparked world-wide outrage against the sadistic assault on immigrants being carried out by Trump, with the full assistance of the Democratic Party.
Many polls have come out and other than the GOS poll that predictably went for Warren, all the others surprisingly went for Tulsi Gabbard, including a Washington Examiner poll that they took down but it was too late because Drudge had already photo'd the results.
As a backdrop to today's debate, Tulsi for the first time polled at 3% in a national poll. The Economist/YouGov from June 22-25, 1,500 US adults (see question 46):
Kropotkin’s quotation puts me in mind of a purported Q and A with Mahatma Gandhi:
Q: ‘What do you think about Western civilization?’
A: ‘I think it would be a very good idea.’
But imagine that you’re in the Twilight Zone, or in a parallel universe, watching as the fading Western Empire goes full-tilt loose cannon and attempts to exert full command-and-control of the planet. A refusal to cede to the inevitability of a multi-polar world in power and influence, trade, including ridiculous nationalistic levels of imposed tariffs, killing sanctions, wars in 40% of the nations on the globe (Africom and re-purposed cold war 2.0 NATO), cyber-space, and more.
