“The problem was not the jury, but the prosecutors and the judge.”

Yes, the New York show trial against Donald Trump was politically motivated and rigged from the beginning.  The legal justifications for the trial were even more convoluted than those for the Roe v. Wade decision.  Bragg, Biden, Democrats, and the unbiased liberal press are trying to scapegoat...

Regardless of the Trump verdict, Biden's in trouble

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  20 Comments  •  5 Likes  •  11 months ago

“Polling shows Joe Biden's campaign is in trouble, and the Donald Trump guilty verdict won't change that.”

Democrats biggest problem ain't Donald Trump.  Trying to make 2024 a referendum on Trump won't allay fears that Biden is out of touch and incompetent.  Biden has already tarnished the glamor of the Democratic Convention by having to accept the nomination early to fix his own screw up of the...

“You can't count your hostages until they are home”

Yes, it is time to shift the world's attention back onto the hostages.  Netanyahu cannot do that while advocating for continued military operations in Gaza.  Now that Biden has volunteered to walk into his own minefield, the hard liners in Israeli can be reluctantly agreeable.  The Palestinians...

“He is the first former U.S. president, and first presumptive major-party nominee, ever to be convicted of a crime.”

What an amazing chain of events has begun unfolding in less than 24 hrs.  Alvin Bragg exits the courtroom and tries to shift blame onto everyone around him; the prosecution team, the jury, the court itself.  Bragg certainly wasn't taking a victory lap which is most unusual behavior in New York....

As American global hegemony ends, multi-alignment rises

“Unlike the rigid alliances of the Cold War, multi-alignment involves a strategic flexibility that empowers nations to navigate the complexities of...”

Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton cannot hold the center any longer.  The world is turning away from American neoliberalism.  Those rust belt profits are not going to pay unwanted dividends.  But, hey, greed is good and the rich got theirs.  Just look at all the U-Hauls lined up to pass through the...

Billions from Russia's frozen assets will go to help Ukraine's military

“Under the plan, the European Union will send as much as $3.25 billion in profits from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to help finance its military...”

So, seized and frozen Russian assets are being diverted to military support instead of reconstruction.  This doesn't have anything to do with Russia paying for its war damages; that's a flagrant lie with the fragrance of manure.  European countries are trying to weasel out of obligations and...

Biden is losing World War III

“Biden, seemingly caught in the vice grip of November electoral calculus, is refusing to acknowledge that World War III is already upon us, let...”

Pay close attention to the tone and tenor of Toth's and Sweet's opinion.  It is an opinion steeped in the conventional wisdom of neoliberal policymaking, introduced by Ronald Reagan, where US influence was expanded using economic weapons without regard for damage caused to the American people....

“Cohen has acknowledged he was able to pull in the lucrative contracts thanks to his position at the time as the president's personal attorney....”

So, after all the salacious and sordid tidbits the unbiased liberal press thrives on, Michael Cohen makes the most stunning revelation of all.  Michael Cohen admits he was given a seat at the grifter trough and handed a YUGE spoon.  But Cohen couldn't control his own ego.  Does Michael Avenatti...

“Police broke up an apparent party dubbed a "satanist gathering" outside the Iranian capital and arrested some 260 people, including three Europeans.”

News from inside Palestine's main benefactor.  Are the protesters in the United States telling us that Jews are doing it wrong?

NATO risks World War III in Ukraine — while lining the defense industry's pockets

“... for those trying to "save the people and infrastructure of Ukraine," I am truly sad to report that you have failed”

Ukraine cannot win this war against Russia -- without nuclear weapons.  All the advanced technology in the US arsenal will not win against Russia.  That is the unspoken truth of the situation.  These prognostications about a Russian nuclear threat are as much wishful thinking as warning.  Europe...
