In his Dec. 18 column at venezuelanalysis.com, Nino Pagliccia asks: ‘Have the Russian Military Aircrafts in Venezuela Breached the Door to “America’s Backyard”?’
Today, I would like to look at the Middle East Melee and Israel's undue influence on US policy. This week I had two trucks get stuck in the mud on my place and I think it is a good analogy for our situation. Then I want to end on a more upbeat note of recognizing and making use of our gifts. My partner of 40 years was a teacher of the gifted. Our teaching careers both confirmed everyone is gifted. The trick is in recognizing and using those gifts.
Nate Silver is a loyal establishment Dem, BUT he can also do simple math.

I know everyone is happy about trump announcing that u.s. troops based in Syria will be leaving. I noticed that a lot of people are editing his statement to say those troops are “coming home” — which, notably, he didn’t say. Rand Paul went on tv to say that the money saved from “coming home” from Syria could pay far all kinds of stuff here at home. Including roads and bridges and, yeah, walls. On the southern border. Not healthcare, of course.
People are out and about, trekking to see friends and family, but if you're around, and have photos to share, feel free to make a deposit here.
Cheers, one and all.

No trade was a bigger winner than to go long in December...until this year.
Now that our idiot 'president' is threatening to end our involvement in the war in Syria (that was never authorized by congress) and now Afghanistan too, the establishment is losing its shit.
During all of this MIC-inspired outrage over the idea of withdrawing our troops from our illegal invasion of Syria, I've seen a phrase used for the very first time in the 4+ years of war.
