A new Gallup poll finds that Democrats now view socialism more positively than capitalism. “For the first time in Gallup’s measurement over the past decade,” Gallup’s Frank Newport notes, Democrats have shown “a less upbeat attitude toward capitalism.” Although support for socialism has hovered between 53 to 57 percent since 2010, supportive views toward capitalism fell “lower than in any of the three previous measures” down to 47 percent. “A majority of Democrats have viewed socialism positively each time Gallup has measured the concept since 2010, and — despite the increased visibility given to the concept this year — those views ...

Every year, thousands of American citizens are incarcerated in foreign countries. Yet, President Trump has decided to go to war to secure the release of only one of them. What gives with that? The citizen who is receiving the privileged treatment is Andrew Brunson, an American pastor incarcerated in Turkey. He is charged with participating in an attempted coup in 2016 against Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. President Trump is up in arms over Brunson’s arrest and incarceration. To pressure Erdogan to release Brunson, Trump has imposed severe economic sanctions on Turkey that have contributed to a severe financial decline in the country. The Turkish lira, which had ...

Last year, representatives of Facebook, Twitter, and Google were instructed on the US Senate floor that it is their responsibility to “quell information rebellions” and adopt a “mission statement” expressing their commitment to “prevent the fomenting of discord.” “Civil wars don’t start with gunshots, they start with words,” the representatives were told. “America’s war with itself has already begun. We all must act now on the social media battlefield to quell information rebellions that can quickly lead to violent confrontations and easily transform us into the Divided States of America.” Yes, this really happened. Today ...

What poses as antiracism and opposition to “hate” is little more than hostility to the identity and values of the core American ethnos. Authored by James Georges Jatras via The Strategic Culture Foundation… It’s déjà vu all over again. First US President Donald Trump meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki and appears to make some progress towards his stated goal of putting ties between Washington and Moscow on a positive course. Immediately, all hell breaks loose. Trump is a called a traitor. The “sanctions bill from hell” is introduced in the Senate. Trump is forced on the defensive. Next Republican Senator Rand Paul of ...

While the War Party fumes Libertarians are largely lost in the wilderness of the present era: wandering without a compass, either moral or ideological, and without a clue as to how to get home, never mind reach their ultimate goal of “freedom in our time.” Yes, that was the old slogan that we libertarians started out with: an optimistic battle-cry that, today, seems unrealistic, at best. But is it? And if it isn’t, who can show us the way forward? My answer is simple: look at what Sen. Rand Paul is doing, and take a lesson. Instead of weeping and wailing about the loss of a “libertarian moment” that never really happened, Sen. Paul is making a difference. As ...

Unlike Michelle, Melania’s Parents Proud Of America, Officially Gain Citizenship During the 2008 presidential campaign, the mainstream media promoted the talking points of candidate Barack Obama. By Ron Capshaw August 9, 2018 at 4:09pm During the 2008 presidential campaign, the mainstream media promoted the talking points of candidate Barack Obama. Viewers were saturated with “Hope and Change” and “Make the Rich Pay Their Fair Share.” But one comment during that campaign that was buried under all the spin was this declaration from future first lady Michelle Obama before the Wisconsin primary: “For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my ...

The White House said Wednesday President Trump wrote a letter of introduction for Republican Sen. Rand Paul to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kentucky senator touted the letter earlier Wednesday morning, saying he was “honored to deliver a letter from President Trump to President Vladimir Putin’s administration.” The White House later clarified that it was written as a means of introduction for the senator, who wanted to meet with Mr. Putin. “At Senator Paul’s request, President Trump provided a letter of introduction. In the letter, the President mentioned topics of interest that Senator Paul wanted to discuss with President Putin,” deputy ...

A free market would defeat the would-be censors The theme of today’s column is suppression – of antiwar voices, of news that doesn’t fit into preconceived narratives, and of our very ability to raise our voices in protest. If you’re paying attention, you’ve probably already heard about the banning from Twitter of anti-interventionist author and former US diplomat Peter van Buren, a whistleblower whose book on the Iraq war exposed the lies at the heart of that devilish enterprise. When van Buren tweeted that his tenure at the State Department required him to lie to reporters, and that the paladins of the Fourth Estate were all too ready to passively record these ...
Neocons Demand ‘Crushing’ Sanctions on Russia

You can always count on the neocons in Congress to ignore reality, ignore evidence, and ignore common sense in their endless drive to get us involved in another war. Last week, for example, Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-NC), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and others joined up to introduce what Senator Graham called “the sanctions bill from hell,” aimed at applying “crushing” sanctions on Russia. Senator Graham bragged that the bill would include “everything but the kitchen sink” in its attempt to ratchet up tensions with Russia. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) bragged that the new sanctions bill “includes my language requiring the State Department to ...
Trump Supreme Court pick: Presidents can ignore laws they think are unconstitutional

(CNN)Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2013 asserted that it's a "traditional exercise" of presidential power to ignore laws the White House views as unconstitutional, as he defended the controversial practice of signing statements prevalent in George W. Bush's White House. The comments could put a renewed focus on Kavanaugh's time serving as White House staff secretary, who had a role in coordinating Bush's statements accompanying legislation he signed into law. Critics contend that the Bush White House abused the use of signing statements to ignore laws passed by Congress, though Bush and his allies said such statements were no different than the ...

Watch: He Held His Salute Until Trump Turned Around, Then His Patience Was Rewarded By Cillian Zeal August 5, 2018 at 6:41am At a presidential campaign-style rally in Delaware County, Ohio, Saturday night, President Donald Trump gave a salute in return to an audience member who saluted him — and thrilled the hyped-up audience in the house. According to Fox News, Trump was in the suburban Columbus county to campaign for Troy Balderson, who’s running in Tuesday’s special election for the seat in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District. The race in the typically Republican district is widely seen as a bellwether for Republican hopes in the midterms this fall. As Trump came ...

President Trump’s Press Secretary shows she is made of steel in her daily presser as she calmly dispatches CNN’s “White House agitator.” Admittedly, the job of being White House Press Secretary is by definition not easy. Even in the days of President Obama, when the (mostly liberal) press was far more friendly to the White House than today, press secretaries came and went. Support The Duran – Browse our Shop >> Some of them had amusingly ironic names in Obama’s term such as Josh Earnest, a name that for some odd reason no one seemed to riff on, as the job of Press Secretary is often to lie to the press so the President cannot be snagged for lying ...
Revolving Door: How Security Clearances Perpetuate Top-Level Corruption in the United States
Post Date: 2018-08-03 19:09:21 by Ada

President Donald Trump is threatening to take away the security clearances of a number of former senior intelligence and security officers who have been extremely critical of him. Most Americans were unaware that any ex-officials continued to hold clearances after they retired and the controversy has inevitably raised the question why that should be so. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. A security clearance is granted to a person but it is also linked to “need to know” in terms of what kind of information should or could be accessed, which means that when you are no longer working as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency you don’t necessarily need to know ...

Venezuelan President Finally Admits That Socialism Is Broken, Economy Is Destroyed By Scott Kelnhofer August 1, 2018 at 10:27am Food and medicine shortages, frequent power blackouts, lack of running water. Welcome to a day in the life of virtually every citizen of Venezuela, thanks to a failing economy, hyperinflation and an autocratic government whose socialist policies have been an utter disaster. Just about everyone in the world knows that Venezuela’s socialist model has been a failure. Now, the country’s president has admitted it as well — sort of. “The production models we’ve tried so far have failed and the responsibility is ours, mine and ...

I believed his war policy would be the only way to save the country, but I see my mistake. I visited Washington a few weeks ago, and I saw the corruption of the present administration—and so long as Abraham Lincoln and his Cabinet are in power, so long will war continue. And for what? For the preservation of the Constitution and the Union? No, but for the sake of politicians and government contractors.”[1] J.P. Morgan—American financier and banker, 1864.

By floating the idea of Turkey joining BRICS, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seeks to diversify Ankara's foreign policy, with its EU membership bid long stalled and relations with the US on the rocks, analysts told RT. The Turkish President has suggested that the leaders of the five-member BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) should add "T" to the acronym. Erdogan was invited to the group's latest forum and told Hurriyet Daily News on its sidelines that current members welcomed the idea of Turkey's accession. Evgeniy Bakhrevskiy, deputy director of the Russian Research Institute of Cultural and Natural Heritage, told RT that this ...

The Putin-Trump Helsinki Summit

The action is in the reaction Now that a little over a week has passed since the much awaited Putin-Trump summit in Helsinki took place, I have had the time to read many of the reactions and comments it generated. I am coming to the paradoxical conclusion that this summit was both a non-event and a truly historical watershed moment. Let’s look at the event itself and then at its consequences. The summit itself: a much-needed non-event First, one has to welcome the fact that Putin and Trump spoke to each other, not so much because that fact by itself is great, but because it is an immensely dangerous situation when the leaders of the two military (and nuclear) superpowers do not ...

Campaign Nemesis Jeb Bush Praises Trump By Jack Davis July 28, 2018 at 9:21am Despite being mocked to the sidelines during the 2016 Republican presidential primary, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush praised President Donald Trump this week for his economic achievements. On Friday, the Commerce Department announced that the gross domestic product grew at a 4.1 percent rate for the second quarter of 2018. That prompted Bush, once derided by Trump as “low energy,” to offer some rare praise of the president. “Today’s news confirms that 4% growth isn’t just aspirational, it’s achievable through policies that unleash the power of the market.

Watch: Fed-up Young Conservatives Ignore McCain’s War History, Savage Him for Selling Out By Cillian Zeal July 27, 2018 at 8:48am Few would argue that Sen. John McCain has not sacrificed much for his country. He was a POW in Vietnam after his plane was shot down, during which time he was brutally tortured in the notorious Hanoi Hilton. Nobody denies that this is something we should all recognize and respect. This is usually used as a disclaimer before or an incantation against Sen. McCain’s record this past decade. While the Arizona senator has never been as conservative as some of his Republican counterparts, you could at least say he was reliable. That’s changed in ...

While most of the media’s attention was focused on Pompeo’s duel with RINO Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, there was another exchange that’s worth reviewing with Sen. Tom Udall of New Mexico. Udall, like most Democrats, was looking to tie President Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin in any way possible. This included via his taxes. “After Helsinki, do you think ...

White House says Trump is 'open' to visiting, wants to meet Putin again After a successful summit last week, President Trump invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the White House. He has subsequently put off such an invitation until next year, but that doesn’t mean a second summit won’t happen before then. President Putin on Friday announced that he is inviting Trump to visit Moscow for a meeting. Putin further said he is “ready” to go to Washington for talks, but appears to want to have Moscow on the table as an alternative, since Trump appears to fear the political consequences of having Putin visit the White House before the Mueller investigation ...

JUST IN: The European Union CAVES To President Trump After He Dinged Them With Tariffs President Trump announced this week that he has begun negotiations with the European Union (EU) that would work towards ending tariffs on industrial goods. This is in direct response to tariffs imposed on the EU by Trump. Trump said no new tariffs would be imposed while negotiations were ongoing. The EU was bracing for a 25% tariff on automobiles. “We agreed today, first of all, to work together towards zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers and zero subsidies for the non-auto industrial goods,” Trump said alongside European Commission President Jean-Claude Junckner. President Trump first ...
