This is a book review of the book Spying on the South by Tony Horwitz. This is a book filled with leftist hate and elitist presuppositions: "Thus, Horwitz’s Narrative demonstrates the left’s tendency to portray the “deplorables” backing Trump as extremist Klansmen and neo-Nazis on a violent rampage, rather than the hospitable, friendly, and courteous folk he admits to encountering on his journeys. Further examples of the mirror-world of The Narrative: Trump is supposedly a fascist who plans to suppress free speech, while Silicon Valley totalitarians censor conservatives from the Internet in the name of combating “hate.” Alleged foreign interference...

It is impossible to separate the latest attack on Justice Brett Kavanaugh from the political strategy of the Democratic Party. On September 16, two days after the New York Times "Sunday Review" section told of another allegation of sexual misconduct during Kavanaugh's college years, "Axios AM" described Democratic plans "to portray President Trump, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as the three villains defining the three branches of government for the 2020 campaign." The reasoning: "Each of these white men, they will argue, symbolizes Republican corruption and rule-bending.” Because opinions of Trump do not change, the Democrats...

“It’s clearly not my time,” said the mayor (who polled a huge zero and couldnt raise enough small money to make the debate stage.) “I’m going to continue my work as mayor” (said the man who installed the 7 hour per month work schedule in City Hall). Predictably, the de Blasio campaign couldn’t break into single digits in the polls — zero is only technically a number, after all — and the wonder of it is that he even tried. The effort presented new opportunities for those with business before City Hall to show their affection for the mayor in...

Former Vice President Joe Biden called for President Trump to release a transcript of his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, amid reports that Ukraine is at the center of a whistleblower's complaint over Trump's contacts with a foreign leader. "If these reports are true, then ... It means that he [Trump] used the power and resources of the United States to pressure a sovereign nation—a partner that is still under direct assault from Russia—pushing Ukraine to subvert the rule of law in the express hope of extracting a political favor." — Biden's statement on Friday...

Cedar Rapids, Iowa (CNN)Sen.

Since then, she has repeatedly called for the House to begin impeachment proceedings but took it a step further...

Once confined to the small scientific community of climate researchers and ecological economists, the idea of degrowth is now blazing into the mainstream. Not surprisingly, people are trying to figure out what to make of it. Is it an inspiring idea that points the way to a better economy? Or is it a mad notion that’s sure to plunge us all into poverty? Degrowth is a planned reduction of total energy and material use to bring the economy in line with planetary boundaries, while improving people’s lives by distributing income and resources more fairly. The scientific case for degrowth is...

According to a report in the Financial Times, a team of researchers from Google led by John Martinis have demonstrated quantum supremacy for the first time. This is the point at which a quantum computer is shown to be capable of performing a task that’s beyond the reach of even the most powerful conventional supercomputer. The claim appeared in a paper that was posted on a NASA website, but the publication was then taken down. Google did not respond to a request for comment from MIT Technology Review.

US President Donald Trump says: to win quick, “tens of millions of people would be killed.” US President Donald Trump repeated his jarring statement about quickly ending the war in Afghanistan, using terms similar to those in a July statement that prompted the Afghan government to ask for clarification. Addressing a news conference with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday, Trump said the United States could rapidly end the nearly 19-year war in Afghanistan but it would involve killing “tens of millions” of people. “We’ve been very effective in Afghanistan, and if we wanted to do a certain method...

Angling to position himself as a "moderate" in hopes of garnering the votes of Democrats alarmed by the continuing incoherence of doddering "moderate" former Vice-President Joe Biden, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg took a swipe at rival candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren's "extremely evasive" stance on her Medicare for all health plan. "Did you see her on the Colbert show?" the Mayor asked. "When a loyal progressive like Colbert is left mystified by how she plans to pay for this extravaganza everyone should be concerned. It's looking more like her 'plan for that' meme is to promise the undeliverable and obscure...

Fed Admits Failure of ‘Plan A’ to Control Money Market Rates, Shifts Back to Repos (which was ‘Plan A’ till 2008) The hullabaloo in the repo market torpedoed the function of Interest on Excess Reserves and forced the Fed to go back to the future.

News Center 7’s Gabrielle Enright went to Wapakoneta to talk with residents and see the Australian-owned plant that he will be visiting. About 10,000 people call Wapakoneta home, and the reason for Trump’s visit is a big deal to some residents. “It’s a big deal, I think,” Peter Caldes said. “I’m not into politics that much, but for the people, it’s jobs.
