On February 19, Washington, DC, will witness a protest against the war in Ukraine.The potential power of this unique and promising movement arises from the nature of the sponsoring organizations…[Read more]

ABC usually exaggerates their stories, but I still watch it to see what stories they are feeding the American public.
“A massive spy balloon believed to be from China was seen above Montana and is being tracked as it flies across the continental United States, with President Joe Biden for now deciding against “military options” because of the…[Read more]

Who will lead progressives after Bernie Sanders? (LA Times via Yahoo News)
WASHINGTON, DC – Bernie Sanders may have run his last presidential campaign. Who might step into Bernie’s shoes as the next leader of the left?
So the search has already begun to find another charismatic, unifying leader for the left wing of the Democratic Party.

Of course it was provoked.
provoke: to irritate or cause anger.
That’s not to say Putin should have reacted the way he did, but to say it was unprovoked, like totally unprovoked, is just plain nonsense. It’s amazing how the MSM has run with that narrative and how many people have bought into it. If you repeat something enough times, people will…[Read more]

When the dust settles, (hopefully not radioactive), each country involved in this conflict will be deeper in debt and their societies will be worse off.
It’s pretty clear by now, for Joe Biden, peace is not a priority.

gordyfl started the topic "Don't Run Joe" — Roots Action in the forum General Discussion 2 months ago
Roots Action has released an ad urging Joe NOT to run in 2024.
President Biden has been neither bold nor inspiring. And his prospects for winning re-election appear to be bleak. With so much at stake, making him the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer in 2024 would be a tragic mistake.
“Moderate” policies have failed to truly address such press…[Read more]

On Venezuela, the Bolton’s book depicts Trump, in private, as shifting constantly from being the ultimate hawk — he says in one meeting that it would be “cool” to invade Venezuela — to praising Venezuela’s tyrant Nicolas Maduro as “smart” and “tough.”
At one point, Trump privately refers to Venezuela’s National Assembly President and oppos…[Read more]

I read only one chapter from John Bolton’s book — it was the chapter on Venezuela. It was an amusing chapter. As I remember, Trump seemed gung-ho about overthrowing Venezuela and he put John Bolton in charge. When it was time to launch his plans into action, Bolton said Trump reneged. Trump told Bolton that Steve Mnuchin was not on board. Bolton…[Read more]

That’s what I was thinking — nearly 1:1. I’ve never seen it there.
There are other big jumps today…
The Ruble weakened today by nearly 17%. It went from 55 Rubles to the Dollar to 64.5 Rubles to one US Dollar.
Also oil — Brent crude oil went from $113 a barrel last night to $103 today. That could be a sign of a weakening world economy –…[Read more]
