Election season is slander season. Each party's attack teams focus on misrepresenting, defaming, and ridiculing the opposing party's candidates. Attack ads have replaced debates and any discussion of what the issues are, or should be, and how candidates perceive the public's interest. Each attack team tells lies designed to enrage various voters about the other team's candidate.
A nazi regime is just doing the thing that such regimes naturally do.
As for the Empire of Chaos "solution" to intercept The Caliph's oil profits, the only decision so far has been to bomb oil pipelines that belong to the Syrian Arab Republic; that is, ultimately, the Syrian people. Never underestimate the capacity of US President Barack Obama's "Don't Do Stupid Stuff" foreign policy doctrine to soar towards unreachable stupidity heights.

According to Northrop Grumman, "When the world calls for commitment it stands with our warfighters to defend America"
According to Northrop Grumman, "When the world calls for commitment it stands with our warfighters to defend America"
A recent ad poster had the word "Commitment" & next to it the name "Northrop Grumman,when the world calls for commitment, Northrop Grumman stands w/ our warfighters to defend America". What "world calls for US commitment"? Surely not Iraq & Syria. It's only official Washington that goes to war unnecessarily against "enemies" it conjures up but since there's no real imminent threats to America no need to use our "warfighters".

First thing we gotta do is kick the system into gear. I believe that what happened last Spring in Virginia was a magnificent, exhilarating triumph of the American voting system. Flex your VOTE! My motivation when I was creating this piece of art was to entertain and inspire. It's a Constructivist piece. It's a Public Service Announcement.My government is not doing it's job, so as a Citizen, I am taking it upon myself to do it.
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman just made an incredible discovery after visiting Vietnam. He realized the Vietnam War had never been about stopping communism. That was only an emotional trigger for us. It was about anti-colonialist nationalism and the Vietnamese were really fighting a war of liberation against the US. The American public needs to understand this truth even deeper than Friedman is willing to go.

U.S. military officials say a former Navy SEAL who wrote a firsthand account of the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden is under investigation for possibly disclosing classified information. He could face criminal charges. Publication of Matt Bissonnette's book, "No Easy Day," in 2012 prompted a Pentagon inquiry that evolved several months ago into a criminal probe by the Justice Department.

They know the drill: Leading the league in boring through ice sheets -- ScienceDaily
Hollow coring drills are used to extract ice cores that can analyze the past atmosphere. Scientists have now documented carbon dioxide in the atmosphere between 23,000 and 9,000 years ago, based on data from an 11,000-foot hole in Antarctica.Today, carbon dioxide is growing at 2 parts per million per year -- 20 times faster than the preindustrial situation recorded in the ice cores. But even at the slower rate, climate reacted very quickly to changing levels of the key greenhouse gas, Marcott says. "It's not just a gradual change from an ice age to an interglacial. We need to know how the Earth system works, but without these ice cores, and the great effort from the drilling team, we would not be in a position to know."

Are the Republicans planning a complete take-over of the government?
According to Seif, and former regime officials, several NATO countries have sent messages claiming they did not intend for his father to be killed but were searching during the summer of 2011 for a refuge for his father in Africa. Seif does not believe them.

The West has, in fact, fallen into a slump similar to Japan's -- but worse. And that wasn't supposed to happen. In the 1990s, we assumed that if the United States or Western Europe found themselves facing anything like Japan's problems, we would respond much more effectively than the Japanese had. But we didn't, even though we had Japan's experience to guide us. On the contrary, Western policies since 2008 have been so inadequate if not actively counterproductive that Japan's failings seem minor in comparison. And Western workers have experienced a level of suffering that Japan has managed to avoid.
A judge in Maine ruled Friday that Kaci Hickox, the nurse who treated Ebola patients and defied a state-imposed quarantine, can come and go as she pleases, as long as she is monitored for symptoms and lets health officials know where she's going. Hickox said she would comply, and she said she was grateful for support from all over the world. She announced no plans beyond staying in to watch a Halloween movie with her boyfriend on Friday night. Gov. Paul LePage said the judge had put Hickox's rights ahead of public safety.
Justice Department investigators have all but concluded they do not have a strong enough case to bring civil rights charges against Darren Wilson, the white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., according to law enforcement officials. When racial tension boiled over in Ferguson after the Aug. 9 shooting, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. traveled to the St. Louis suburb to meet with city leaders and protest organizers in an effort to bring calm. He assured them that the federal government would open a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, but that investigation now seems unlikely to result in any charges.
A Kansas Group's Push to Oust Judges Reveals a Gap in Campaign Finance Rules; by Robert Faturechi
DARK MONEY: Judicial retention elections in Kansas have typically been apolitical and uncontested -- until Kansans for Justice entered the fray earlier this month. Now the state's grappling with a new kind of dark money. "With just three weeks left before the upcoming midterm elections, a group called "Kansans for Justice" surfaced with the aim of persuading voters to oust two of their state Supreme Court justices. The unexpected emergence of Kansans for Justice in what have historically been uncontested retention races has exposed a loophole in the state's campaign finance rules: Even though the group has all the hallmarks of a political committee -- it is soliciting contributions, plans to send mailers and has an explicit electoral goal -- it's not required to report anything about its leadership, donors or spending."

The Prospect of a Republican Senate; By THE EDITORIAL BOARD, NY Times
In a rare fit of realism on Tuesday, Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, admitted he would be unable to repeal the Affordable Care Act if Republicans win the Senate next week and he becomes majority leader., but conservatives reacted with anger to what they considered a demonstration of weakness, and on Thursday Mr. McConnell was forced to backtrack. Yes, he is "committed to the full repeal of Obamacare" with only a simple majority, through a parliamentary procedure known as reconciliation.Those two comments are an indication of what will happen if Republicans gain control of the Senate i and if Mr. McConnell wins his race in Kentucky. It's not just that they are committed to time-wasting, obstructionist promises like repeal of health care reform; the bigger problem is that the party's leaders have continually proved unable to resist pressure from the radical right...

Truthout sparks action by revealing systemic injustice and providing a platform for transformative ideas through investigative reporting and analysis. Many Americans, particularly the young, believe that voting is an exercise in futility, or worse, an immoral display of support for a fundamentally corrupt political system. Far more appealing is to build a diverse grassroots movement - organically and horizontally - to change our consciousness, our lifestyles, the way we grow our food, harness our energy, travel, trade - and how we treat each other as human beings.
A veteran Republican lawmaker will be challenged by a Democratic political newcomer in Tuesday's general election for the 9th Congressional District.
Once again, Glenn Grunwald tells us that billionaire owned First Look Media is a real, independent force in journalism -- as though owner Pierre Omidyar's billions and politics have nothing to do with it.

A Republican Mid-Term Wave" Will Further Sink Black America
GOP pundits and some in the media gleefully noted that a few African-American listeners purportedly walked out on President Obama during a campaign speech he made at a Maryland High School on October 19 to boost the candidacy of Maryland Gubernatorial Democrat candidate Lt. Governor Anthony Brown. Brown is in a bid to become the nation's second African-American governor. This was more than merely an excuse to poke fun at Obama
