DNC Chair Tom Perez Affirms: Socialist Candidates The ‘Future Of Our Party’
DNC Chair Tom Perez Affirms: Socialist Candidates The ‘Future Of Our Party’
"According to DNC Chairman Tom Perez, the future of the Democratic Party is socialism.
The real surprise is that he admitted publicly what people outside his party already knew.
...Since her defeat of Rep. Joe Crowley, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has been the toast of the Democratic Party (perhaps as an over-reaction).
Her platform was akin to that of Bernie Sanders promising single-payer health care, tuition-free college, and a guarantee of a federal job for everyone who can’t find work.

During the interview with Press, Mr. Perez his daughters made him excited about Ocasio-Cortez:
“I have three kids. two of them are daughters. One just graduated college, one who is in college – and they were both texting me about their excitement over Alexandria because she really – she represents the future of our party,” Perez said....
A video of the relevant part of Perez’s interview follows:
Gallup: 55 Percent of U.S. Adults Say Country’s Best Days Are Ahead
Gallup: 55 Percent of U.S. Adults Say Country’s Best Days Are Ahead:
A Gallup poll conducted in June reveals 55 percent of American adults believe the best days for the country are “ahead of us.”
Those who said the best days are “behind us” came in at 41 percent.
The last time Gallup asked this question — December 2012, when President Barack Obama was president — only 47 percent of respondents answered “ahead.” That survey’s results also showed 50 percent of respondents answered “behind.”

"This fact sheet describes the contents of an organic industry confidential public relations plan to spread fake science in its promotion.
In December of 2013, Washington State University issued a press release claiming nutritional benefits in organic milk.
The research was part of an organic industry funded program at the university called Measure to Manage.
The organic industry plan includes dozens of front groups, academics, and journalists that could be counted on to “help assure that the release and outreach effort is broad and on‐message.”
Media personalities are listed as people who “might be willing to actively participate in ongoing social media efforts”.
This fact sheet provides a sense of the depth and breadth of the corporate attack on science in defense of what the organic industry calls a “gateway drug” for new mothers.

Yet Another Reason to Thank the Founding Fathers - WSJ
Yet Another Reason to Thank the Founding Fathers - WSJ"On July 4th Americans will celebrate 242 years of independence and the enduring success of a bold experiment in personal liberty.
On July 5th the United Kingdom will remind Americans of one particular benefit of independence.
Thursday will mark 70 years that English patients have tolerated a single-payer health-care system.
The website of the U.K.’s health bureaucracy is asking for applause:
The National Health Service is turning 70 on 5 July 2018. It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the achievements of one of the nation’s most loved institutions, to appreciate the vital role the service plays in our lives, and to recognise and thank the extraordinary NHS staff – the everyday heroes – who are there to guide, support and care for us, day in, day out.
It’s a particularly odd moment for self-congratulation, just as government investigators begin to collect evidence on what appears to be an appalling abuse of patients.
This week the BBC reports:
A UK-wide inquiry into a contaminated blood scandal that left at least 2,400 people dead will look at whether there was a cover-up by the authorities and if documents were destroyed.
Treatments including blood transfusions infected thousands of patients with HIV and hepatitis C in the 1970s and 1980s.
It has been called the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS.
That last judgment could be open to debate.
News of this investigation follows closely on the heels of another scandal involving the stunning misuse of pain medication.
Last month London’s Mirror newspaper noted:
News of this investigation follows closely on the heels of another scandal involving the stunning misuse of pain medication.
Last month London’s Mirror newspaper noted:
Relatives of patients who died in the Gosport hospital scandal... told of their fury over the needless and avoidable deaths and demanded a police investigation.
They spoke after a report revealed more than 650 were killed by overdoses of drugs over 11 years in one of the biggest scandals ever to hit the NHS...
...As America prepares to celebrate its independence, here’s hoping for health-care freedom for patients all around the world.
Their health should no longer be subject to the decisions of politicians in London, Little Rock or anywhere else."

New Jersey Governor Signs Literal State-Funded Media Bill | The Daily Caller
New Jersey Governor Signs Literal State-Funded Media Bill | The Daily Caller:
"New Jersey governor Phil Murphy is expected to sign a bill that would dedicate $5 million in government funding to local media projects.
The so-called “Civic Info Bill” was passed by the state legislature in June and will create the Civic Information Consortium, a nonprofit organization that gives grants to promote media in “underserved communities, low-income communities and communities of color.”
Applicants apply for grants by proposing a “collaboration” between one of five public universities and a community organization, a media outlet, or a member of the state’s technology sector.
The proposal must also “offer a clear benefit to communities.”
One goal of proposed grants should be to “better meet the information needs of low-income communities and racial and ethnic communities that have been underserved by the media.”...

Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians during nuclear deal: Iran official | Fox News:
The Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, including family members of government officials, while negotiating the Iran nuclear deal, a senior cleric and member of parliament has claimed.
Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zolnour, who is chairman of Iran’s parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of its national security and foreign affairs committee, made the allegations during an interview with the country’s Etemad newspaper, cited by the country’s Fars News agency.
He claimed it was done as a favor to senior Iranian officials linked to President Hassan Rouhani, and he alleged the move sparked a competition among Iranian officials over whose children would benefit from the scheme.

Prof asks students to ‘find something’ to celebrate on 4th
A University of Northern Colorado professor told students that she hopes they can “find something to celebrate” on Independence Day despite “a ton of ugliness in our nation’s past and present.”
While she did not specify the "ugliness" to which she was referring, her Twitter page is rife with examples of the "social problems" she sees in America, from the Second Amendment to immigration enforcement.
