(All of my recent articles can be seen here.)There are many ways in which these leaders of neoconservatism/neoliberalism are harmful to the entire world, but the one that will be focused on here is their lie-based “good cop ‘versus’ bad cop” routine in order to pump up the sales-volumes of the U.S.-and-allied armaments manufacturers and other war-profiteering corporations and the billionaires who own controlling interests in them — the ultimate profiteers from w

Photo: Doug Mills/The New York Times/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesLast night, Donald Trump took the stage and announced in a bizarre, rambling speech what he framed as a gift to America’s troops: a one-time, $1,776 “warrior dividend,” a $1,776 payment pitched as gratitude for service members and veterans.

The West Coast Is Being Absolutely Pummeled By Trillions Of Gallons Of Rain, Wind Speeds Of Up To 144 MPH, And Flooding That Will Close Roads For Months
