An important message
The post Consider This Before You celebrate Donald Trump’s Indictment appeared first on The Shovel.
“Some day, it’ll become time for [farmers] to leave this beautiful earth, and they’ll be able to leave their farm, without taxes, to their children. I got rid of the ‘death tax’ on farms so that when you do pass away, on the assumption that you love your children, you can leave it to them and they won’t have to pay tax.” “But if you don’t love your children so much and there are some people that don’t — and maybe deservedly so — it won’t matter, because, frankly, you don’t have to leave them anything. Thank you very much. Have fun.” There was a lot of speculation that he was talking about his own kids. Maybe he and Ivanka are on the outs? Eric made a bad deal somewhere? But as Philip Bump explained, he made that video after a stop in Iowa where he was bragging about his great accomplishments for farmers and he made a joke about not loving their kids and got a laugh from the crowd. He’s trying out new material.

There is no bottom After reading a bunch of filthy transphobe garbage on twitter yesterday and already feeling queasy, I came across this. I need to take a shower and have a stiff drink. It is just so horrible: My 6-year-old boy died in January. We lost him after a household accident, one likely brought on by a rare cerebral-swelling condition. Paramedics got his heart beating, but it was too late to save his brain. I could hold his hand, look at the small birthmark on it, comb his hair, and call out for him, but if he could hear me or feel me, he gave no sign. He had been a child in perpetual motion, but now we couldn’t get him to wiggle a finger. My grief is profound, ragged, desperate. I cannot imagine how anything could feel worse. But vaccine opponents on the internet, who somehow assumed that a COVID shot was responsible for my son’s death, thought my family’s pain was funny. “Lol. Yay for the jab. Right? Right?” wrote one person on Twitter. “Your decision to vaccinate your son resulted in his death,” wrote another.

The post The Treasury Privatized? first appeared on Michael Hudson.By Patrick Lawrence / Original to ScheerPost You might be Brazilian or Malian or Singaporean, it is remarkable the world over to watch the French explode into the streets of dozens of cities and towns to protest the imperial president residing in Élysée Palace.

Even if we can change a memory, should we? It’s a profound question. It’s about the core of humanity. At times, science can reduce us to machines. Under the hood, we have the same parts, more or less. The neurochemicals that fuel the brain, including the creation and recall of memories, work pretty much the […]

A review of Bostock, with a critique of self-identification
and DeSantis sinks The latest polls show that the Trump jump is real: Republican primary voters were read a list of 15 announced and potential candidates for the 2024 nomination. The survey, released Wednesday, finds Trump has doubled his lead since February and is up by 30 points over Ron DeSantis (54%-24%). Last month, he was up by 15 (43%-28%). No one else hits double digits. Mike Pence comes in third with 6%, Liz Cheney and Nikki Haley receive 3% each, and Greg Abbott comes in at 2%. All others receive 1% support or less, and just 3% are unsure. It’s fair to assume that the talk of his imminent indictment may have helped him with primary voters. They love to rally around the Trump flag. But Quinnipiac also has a new poll out which show this may not be such a great thing in the big picture: Americans 57 – 38 percent think criminal charges should disqualify former President Donald Trump from running for president again, if charges are filed against him as a result of multiple state and federal criminal investigations, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll released today.

On 14 March, when the AUKUS nuclear powered-submarine details were revealed, I spent most of the day in the Emergency Department of a hospital in Brisbane, with a family member needing urgent medical care. It took over 12 hours for my relative to get a bed in the ED and then several hours more before Continue reading »
Nearly everything the Labor government says about nuclear subs is ludicrous and highly damaging. Despite Defence Minister Marles apparently saying Australia will not participate in a war over Taiwan, Hugh White (ex- Dep Head Defence) says the US would never sell nuclear submarines to Australia without guarantees they will always be used in a US Continue reading »
Last month, the Djab Wurrung, Gunnai and Gunditjamara Senator Lidia Thorpe, cut ties with the Greens.

The black sovereign movement Continue reading »
Worldwide obesity has tripled since 1975. WHO surveys tell us that more than 2 billion adults, 18 years and older are overweight and of these nearly 800 million are actually obese. 39 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in a 2020 survey and it is estimated that 400 million children Continue reading »
Governments must come to understand that preservation of life support systems is more vital than many economic ones and they must develop the ability to explain this to the public. In the eastern states debate on the environment or ‘nature’ has been mainly about protecting koala habitat. This view is too simplistic. Protection should embrace Continue reading »
