No one in British parliament has been more aggressive in inciting ethnic tensions in Kosovo than Alicia Kearns. A closer look at her record reveals intelligence ties and “probably illegal” regime change activities. In a remarkable turnaround, after over two decades of turning a blind eye to the slow-motion erasure of Serbs in Kosovo, the EU and US have finally sought to rein in their vassal, issuing frequent condemnations and even imposing sanctions on Pristina. While trivial compared to punitive […]

This is a good segment from All In with Chris Hayes: He was in the meeting with Trump’s lawyers today. He’s apparently very hands on.
Really???? Dreher is a big fan of modern fascist Viktor Orban, so I’m not surprised. In case you don’t know, Nate Hochman was fired from the Desantis campaign this week after surreptitiously creating and disseminating two highly offensive videos, the first attacking transgender people (and Trump) and the second extolling DeSantis’ leadership using Nazi imagery: DeSantis was warned and so was Dreher. They didn’t care. Tim Miller wrote about the hiring months ago: There is no role in which the old maxim “personnel is policy” is more apt than that of presidential speechwriter. And there is good reason for that role to hold its exalted place in the mythos of the office. Trump’s “American Carnage” was no doubt shaped by the dark, nativist views of his Gollum-like muse. Obama’s West Wing–era hopey-changey optimism was colored by the earnest and youthful pod-bros who wrote for him. And Bush’s Chesterton-infused evangelizing was sculpted by the faith of Michael Gerson and Matthew Scully.

Even Fox can’t deny it anymore. Dean Baker with the deets: Soaring Structure Investment Makes Up for Slowing Consumption, as GDP Grows at 2.4 Percent in Q2 The economy grew at a 2.4 percent annual rate in the second quarter, as strong investment growth offset slower consumption growth. Consumption spending grew at a just a 1.6 percent annual rate, down from a 4.6 percent rate in the first quarter. However, non-residential investment grew at 7.7 percent rate. Investment accounted for 0.99 percentage points of the growth in the quarter, only slightly less than the 1.12 pp attributable to consumption. Soaring Factory Investment Continues to be Major Factor Driving Growth All the categories of investment showed healthy growth in the quarter, with equipment investment growing at a 10.8 percent annual rate after falling the prior two categories. Those drops were likely driven largely by continuing supply chain problems with cars and semiconductor chips. Structure investment increased at a 9.7 percent annual rate after growing at a 15.8 percent annual rate the last two quarters. This is driven by factory construction growing at a 94.0 percent annual rate.
