Goodies from Ol' Remus

 

 
In rural America, good relations with your neighbors amounts to this: you've both lost track of which one owes the other a favor.

A good indicator of why climate change as an issue is over can be found early in the text of the Paris Agreement. The “nonbinding” pact declares that climate action must include concern for “gender equality, empowerment of women, and intergenerational equity” as well as “the importance for some of the concept of ‘climate justice.’ ”

  Zero Hedge - Watch As Chaos Erupts At Tommy Robinson Protest; Police Chased Down Street As 1000s Rage ... it's not going away this time

  Task & Purpose - Old School: Army Recruits Will Again Test On Iron Sights During Basic Training ... training soldiers to fight in a technologically degraded environment

Marvel, Spectator - Iron Man is now a 15-year-old black girl who might be a sociopath; the Incredible Hulk is a 19-year-old Asian hipster guy; Thor is a woman who is dying of cancer; and Captain America is a full-on Nazi — to show readers how evil Donald Trump is — while his duties as a good person have been handed over to Falcon, who is much more to be admired, obviously, because he is black. No, really, this is not a joke designed to satirise the leftist, identity politics lunacy which has afflicted so much of the US entertainment industry. This is what has actually happened to the superheroes of those two iconic imprints Marvel and DC Comics.

  Republicans, Buchanan - Historians will look back in amazement at how America’s free trade zealots gave away the greatest manufacturing base the world had ever seen. Between 1997 and 2017, the EU ran up, at America’s expense, trade surpluses in goods in excess of $2 trillion, while we also picked up the bill for Europe’s defense. Between 1992 and 2016, China was allowed to run $4 trillion in trade surpluses at our expense, converting herself into the world’s first manufacturing power and denuding America of tens of thousands of factories and millions of manufacturing jobs. It is hard to see why or how Republicans are ever again going to be the Bush-Boehner party that preceded the rise of Trump.
