I can't do this justice but I'll wing it anyway.

Remember when U.S. Secretary of Defense James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis announced that we would be using “annihilation tactics” from now on?
Good news. It worked.

“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.”
- Sun Tzu quotes

The American Medical Association on Monday announced a new set of policies to better "inform and educate the medical community and the public on the medical spectrum of gender identity."

In 2008, referring to then Senator Barack Hussein Obama's Presidential run, former President William Jefferson Clinton exclaimed, "Give me a break! This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen." However, Bubba Clinton's own fairy tales can be more fanciful than those of the Bubbas Grimm. (Despite his hundreds of millions, Bubba doesn't seem to own mirror. Tch! Poor guy!)

The Tanf military base is a lonely, desert oasis roughly 10 miles inside Syria near the Jordan border, and about 100 miles south of Palmyra.

Brief note here on ongoing tragedy in Kensington.

The ashes aren't even cold yet and smoke fills the sky of London. Grenfell Towers, a high rise estate (British Council House) caught fire June 13, 2017 in a massive conflagration, which has predicted years before.

One thing we can do is try to shake things up, at least let them know we're watching and we know what they're really doing. Subject them to the real truths and see what they say. Make them respond and get on record their lies and obfuscations. Maybe even make them nervous.

So far this year, there have been 12 violent deaths of transgender people in the United States, and about 30 states still have no laws to protect transgender people when it comes to employment discrimination. And 16 states are debating bathroom bills that would segregate people to use restrooms consistent with their biological sex.

The esteemed liberal Brookings Institute just published a - well I'm not sure what to call it - white paper or hit job. Two of its senior fellows, Jonathan Rauch and Benjamin Wittes, make the argument that more democracy is bad because regular people are stupid and ignorant, and they should just let their betters the elite professional political class handle things. In other words, people like the two of them.

I have not disclosed this information before this essay, so this is an exclusive of sorts. I've been secretly conducting a secret experiment, secretly, subjecting myself to often intense and prolonged traumatic situations to test a theory regarding the total elimination of the effects of propaganda.

I am now completely immune to propaganda.

The NY Times didn't mince words. The progressives trying to overthrow the corporate Democratic establishment are “the party’s ascendant militant wing.”

It was the early-morning hours of Saturday. The place was Bushwick Brooklyn...specifically the gay bar that is Happyfun Hideaway.

Since the mass media (and therefore public opinion) is swamped with the Russia Russia Russia propaganda, here's a quick synopsis of all the *facts* you sadly can't find on our American television or "news" outlets:

Here's what we're dealing with regarding the United States of America national political system of government.

Hi all it's a Sunday and I didn't want to put this in an Open Thread.

This guy hit's it right on the head and is way funny doing it.

Gotta love the Brits.

This is skimpy as an essay...but it's funny.

It's only been a few days since the UK election, but the seismic shift in the political establishment is gaining pace.

Last Sunday Bishop Sally Dyck of the Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church commissioned M Barclay as a deacon.

Jill Stein gets it. Unfortunately, she had to learn the hard way.

Seven months after the election, the attacks on her presidential bid have continued.
Caitlin Johnstone points out that partisan Democrats still can't stand the idea that someone on the left ran for president and got some votes.

I've been waiting to see how much progress the various groups attempting to reform the Dems - Our Revolution, Justice Dems, Brand New Congress - would make before finally throwing the towel in. For the simple reason that if the Dems could be taken over by the voters then our path to overall victory would be much easier. If.

Truth is stranger than fiction

It's been a big news week with the loudest scream being Comey, Comey, Comey, Russia, Russia....it keeps the people distracted. In the Middle East the big scream has been Qatar...better get rid of Al Jazeera as the Saudis start a war with Iran. In the meantime, the house votes to do away with the Dodd-Frank luke warm financial regulation. The Senate rushes to pass some sort of T-rumpcare, and on the day Iran was bombed by Saudi surrogates from ISIS, the Senate passed more sanctions on Iran for basically having elections. In the UK Labour made good election gains and the Conservatives are in a mess prior to the Brexit negotiations.

This is part 3 of the Seth Rich murder story. Between the last essay and this have come a verbal-pictorial avalanche of new information. It's a good thing I delayed in writing this, because many new facts have arisen and along with them, many new questions and possibilities. From what I know right now, there will have to be at least one more essay of Seth Rich before moving on to the Awan Spyring story, which is epic in its own right.

In the wake of the huge success of Jeremy Corbyn, the neoliberals on Twitter have been having a meltdown. In response to their complaints, many Berniecrats started posting responses with the hashtag #BernieWouldHaveWon. Joan Walsh seemed particularly annoyed by this meme which only inspired more responses with the Bernie hashtag. For some reason, I cannot find her tweets. Maybe she deleted them.

There are a number of reason why Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party in England did so well in the recent UK election, compared to Bernie Sanders failed attempt to win the Democratic Primary, but today I want to focus on just one. In the UK electronic voting machines are not in place. They use paper ballots. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that many UK pols are pushing for e-voting machines for the next election.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has called a special session, largely so he can push once again for the removal of transgender people from from participation in human society (i.e. Senate Bill 6).

The day after the U.K. election Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was caught relaxing outside a pub in Islington.
