Smoke-filled
Room: No mater
what his final delegate count, Bernie Sanders has absolutely no
chance to have any impact on drafting the Democratic platform. In
January, Ms. Clinton's vassal Debbie Wasserman Schultz, party chair,
appointed dozens of Clinton supporters and advisers to the three
standing committees that will manage the convention. Only three of
Mr. Sanders' nominees were appointed.
Distinction/Difference:
Texas AG Ken Paxton has continued paying several of his high-level
staffers their state salaries long after they had resigned. Give Ken
a break; they didn't show up or do much before they left so how was
he to know and besides, he's
been preoccupied.
Wondering:
What possibly could be “protected” by keeping those 28 pages of
the 9/11 Commission report super-secret
if it isn't evidence suggesting, or proving, direct Saudi
involvement in blowing up the World Trade Towers?
Present
At The Creation:
Just a reminder; the EU, like NATO, was created by the United States
and for the United States as a bulwark against Russia. US
intelligence funded the European movement secretly for decades,
initiating European
integration in the late 1940s and promoting
it covertly thru
the 1970s. How successful the project has been depends on whether you
are a banker in Germany (or Wall Street) or an unemployed worker in
Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece...
Just
Doing My Job:
While acting as Governor Snyder's hand picked emergency manager of
Flint, MI, Darnell Earley was directly responsible for delivering
lead-filled water to the citizenry, so it is only fair that he bill
the people he poisoned $75,000 to pay for attorneys trying to defend
him.
Keeping
Score: Goldman
Sachs has reached yet another “settlement” with the federal
government – this one for $5.06 billion for conning its investors.
Which is pretty much what the previous “admission without
confession” settlements have been about, too. Anybody keeping a
running tab?
Faint
Praise: Paul
Krugman warns that “Mr. Trump doesn’t know much about economic
policy.” as though that were necessarily a bad thing (although
relying on Phil Gramm for economic expertise puts The Donald's ability to pick experts at question) .
Krugman goes
on to note that, like a lot of prominent economists, “Ted Cruz
knows a lot that isn’t so.” I liked PK better before he went to
work for Hillary.
Asked
& Obvious:
Will the media ever stop parroting the oligarchs' lie that
globalization is the same as free trade and is going to lead to the
best of all possible worlds? Hint: Who owns the media?
