Americans might soon wish they just waited to vote their way out of the Trump era
EXTRACTS:
My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump.
Big Picture. The lines are drawn — on one side, the Deep State and the Zionists, now combining, openly, both the extremists on the left and the extremists on the right. Brennan and Bannon are now one — Pelosi and Romney are now one. Nikki Haley and Hillary Clinton are now one. Zionists ubber alles against President Donald Trump.
AND the President is now calling for the impeachment (technically, the expulsion) of the evil-doers in the House. A majority of Americans think Bidens should be investigated over Ukraine and China dealings.
INSIGHT: Tom Luongo in July 2018 defined President Trump as a center rightist leaning toward Libertarian, exposing the two-party tyranny. Worth a read!
Is the economy strong or isn't it? The answer is both. The economy is not as strong as it should be given all of the President's promises (especially to the swing states where he won narrowly) BUT the President has multiple ways to radically enhance the economy between now and November 2020 and few of the media outlets owned by the Deep State are ready to acknowledge that reality.
INSIGHT: Whether intended or not, Tulsi Gabbard's denouncement of the DNC for trying to rig the election sounds very much like positioning as cross-over candidate to replace Mike Pence as President Trump's Vice President. The real deal remains Dr. Cynthia McKinney, who would bring, along with blacks, the Greens, and #WalkAway and #BernieorBust.
FINAL NOTE: The President continues to lose the narrative battle on impeachment, on the Electoral College, on pulling out of Syria. Neither the GOP nor the White House have communicators that are good enough. The voters are IGNORANT or DISENGAGED. Only the President, combined with #UNRIG and an Open Source Agency with truth channel, can change that.
UC Berkeley economist Clair Brown argues for an economic system based on altruism, sustainability, and a meaningful life. Because even economics is about more than money.
In Buddhist economics, happiness is defined by the concept of interconnectedness. All people, all beings, are interdependent with each other and with nature. Happiness comes from making sure people lead comfortable, dignified lives and interact with each other and nature in a meaningful, caring way.
Google Archipelago: The Digital Gulag and the Simulation of Freedom begins with familiar cultural politics as points of entry to the book's theme regarding the reach, penetration, and soon the ubiquity of the digital world. In a book about enormous sea changes brought about by digital technology, Google Archipelago begins and ends with the political, in particular with the objectives of the Big Digital conglomerates as global corporate monopoly capitalists or would-be-monopolies.
It is a big problem when faulty data analysis underpins big decisions or public opinion, and it is happening more often in the age of big data. Data Science Central outlines several “Common Errors in Machine Learning Due to Poor Statistics Knowledge.” Easy to make mistakes? Yep. Easy to manipulate outputs? Yep. We believe the obvious fix is to make math point and click—let developers decide for a clueless person.
Blogger Vincent Granville describes what he sees as the biggest problem:
