• When you read the Trump plan closely, you realize it is a mirror image of the Oslo Accords. 
• Rather than Israel being required to prove its good will, the Palestinians are required to prove their commitment to peace.

"From 1994 through 1996, as a captain in the IDF, I served as a member of Israel's negotiating team with the PLO.
Those years were the heyday of the so-called peace process.
As the coordinator of negotiations on civil affairs for the Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, I participated in all of the negotiating sessions with the Palestinians that led to a half a dozen or so of agreements...
Throughout the period of my work, I never found any reason to believe the peace process I was a part of would lead to peace.
The same Palestinian leaders who joked with us in fancy meeting rooms in Cairo and Taba breached every commitment they made to Israel the minute the sessions ended..."

Joni Ernst: Obama's Actions More Impeachable Than What Trump Did

Joni Ernst: Obama's Actions More Impeachable Than What Trump Did:

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) argued Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Barack Obama’s open mic moment in 2012, when Obama told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev “after my election I have more flexibility,” was more impeachable than President Donald Trump’s actions in Ukraine.

72 Terrible Things Global Warming Will Apparently Cause | PSI Intl

"As everyone knows global warming will kill us all in as little as 12, 11, 10 years.
But it’s actually way worse than that.
Global warming — caused of course by corporate greed/gas guzzling SUVs/supersized hamburgers/greedy, fat, stupid Americans, etc. — is being predicted to cause all manner of disaster.
Scientists eager to terrify people into taking them seriously have over the last several decades made a series of frightful predictions.
For example, did you know man-made global warming will result in more miscarriages in Bangladesh? It’s true, the BBC said so.
Or that our changing climate — again due almost exclusively to our rampant consumerism and the overwhelming influence of the Big Straw lobby — will result in fewer circumcisions in some African tribes? Scientists say it’s so!
Some of these predictions, however, somehow never came to pass. For example, scientists in 2007 warned that the arctic would be “ice free” by 2013, yet today are trying to figure out why arctic ice is instead increasing.
Man-made climate change was also predicted to kill thousands of Brits — by 2018. Whoops.
To keep track of these scientists’ most bizarre, and most terrifying, doomsday prophesies, we’ve started the news list below. And as you already know, 97 percent of scientists agree you should read it, bookmark it, and share it with it with your friends.

• A new book argues that that both Left and Right are now engaged in class war — against the poor

"... The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Metropolitan Elite, which argues that “Demagogic populism is a symptom. Technocratic neoliberalism is the disease”. 
Lind says that Western society feels as if it is coming apart and this is a delayed consequence of the working class losing the political power it possessed for much of the twentieth century. 
“The Cold War has been followed by the class war”, writes Lind. 
This is a war that is being waged against the working class by an ascendant caste of university-credentialed professional elites.

“Social power exists in three realms — government, the economy, and the culture,” writes Lind. 

“All three realms of Western society today are fronts in the new class war.” 

We see this class war being waged over everything from Brexit to the election of Donald Trump to the rise of an activist judiciary. 

And despite the recent populist backlash one side remains firmly on top..."

Students demanded divestment from fossil fuels, a professor offered to turn off the gas heating

Students demanded divestment from fossil fuels, a professor offered to turn off the gas heating
"Professor Andrew Parker of St John’s College at Oxford University is my new favorite person. 
The Times of London reports that a group of students wrote to Professor Parker to discuss demands being made by student protesters about fossil fuel divestment. 
His response wasn’t what they were expecting:

SEE ALSO: Sunday morning talking heads

Two students at St John’s College wrote to Andrew Parker, the principal bursar, this week requesting a meeting to discuss the protesters’ demands, which are that the college “declares a climate emergency and immediately divests from fossil fuels”. They say that the college, the richest in Oxford, has £8 million of its £551 million endowment fund invested in BP and Shell.

Professor Parker responded with a provocative offer. “I am not able to arrange any divestment at short notice,” he wrote. “But I can arrange for the gas central heating in college to be switched off with immediate effect. Please let me know if you support this proposal.”...

Joe Scarborough confirms it - Carter years were paradise!

Ellsworth Toohey

"I remember the glorious days of the people's car -- The AMC Pacer. Convenient extra-wide door that would last for at least two years before falling off. 

And you got your required exercise pushing it to the gas pump.

Those were the days. 

If only the Orange Man could return us to that booming economy."

Joe Scarborough: Trump’s So-Called Great Economy is WORSE than Jimmy Carter’s ‘Year of Malaise’

Papa Kalashnikook--

"Ah yes. 

The Carter years. 55 mph speed limits, no gas, America humiliated for a year and a half by Iran topped off by a botched rescue attempt that killed a bunch of Americans. 

Malaise, a shit economy and continuous scoldings from Pastor Carter. 

Billy Carter was entertaining. 

Alcoholics are always funny. 
And we gave away the Panama Canal."

Former Vice President Joe Biden repeatedly told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Friday that the impeachment of President Donald Trump is “not a partisan impeachment.”
Stephanopoulos first pointed to Biden’s own prior comments during the 1998 impeachment of former President Bill Clinton, when he said a a “partisan” impeachment was “wrong.”

Climate doomsayers keep putting sell-by dates on their credibility | Spectator USA

• I do wish we would take them a smidgen less seriously when they turn out to be wrong — as they always do

"I was slightly surprised when Greta Thunberg announced at Davos that we had eight years left to save the planet.
As long as that?
Admittedly, that’s four years less than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who put it at 12, although, come to think of it, that was last January, so presumably she now thinks we’ve got 11 years left.
But some doomsayers have been much less optimistic.
According to Peter Wadhams, a Cambridge professor interviewed in the Guardian in 2013, Arctic ice would disappear by 2015 if we didn’t mend our ways, while Gordon Brown announced in 2009 that we had just 50 days to save the Earth.
Then again, playing the long game can also catch up with you.
In 2004, Observer readers were told Britain would have a ‘Siberian’ climate in 16 years’ time.
We’re supposed to be in the midst of that now.
On the face of it, we should be grateful that these gloomsters make such oddly precise predictions. It’s like putting a sell-by date on their credibility..."
