The left must stand against capitalism. Now. - Macleans.ca- Andray Domise: People who hold left-leaning ideals have to quit kidding themselves by believing that capitalism exists as a benevolent or even neutral social arrangement
"...There’s no way around a simple reality for people who consider themselves to be on the left side of the political spectrum, the people who strive for widespread and radical, if not revolutionary, change—we’re getting our tails kicked.
...if people who hold left-leaning ideals cannot quit kidding themselves by believing that capitalism exists as a benevolent or even neutral social arrangement.
If the left intends to win these fights, it must also stand in principled opposition to capitalism.
2020 is the year to do it..."

Millions Died Thanks to the Mother of Environmentalism – Dr. Rich Swier
"...Rachel Carson was an American hero.
In the early 1960s, she was the first to warn that a pesticide called DDT could accumulate in the environment, the first to show that it could harm fish, birds, and other wildlife, the first to warn that its overuse would render it ineffective, and the first to predict that more natural means of pest control – like bacteria that killed mosquito larvae – should be used instead.
Unfortunately, the PBS documentary neglected to mention that in her groundbreaking book, Silent Spring, Carson had made one critical mistake – and it cost millions of people their lives.
...Demonizing DDT
On Sept. 27, 1962, Rachel Carson changed her tone. Her next book, Silent Spring, which she called her “poison book,” was an angry, no-holds-barred polemic against pesticides: especially DDT.
...After DDT was banned, malaria reemerged across the globe:

...After DDT was banned, malaria reemerged across the globe:
- In India, between 1952 and 1962, DDT caused a decrease in annual malaria cases from 100 million to 60,000. By the late 1970s, no longer able to use DDT, the number of cases increased to 6 million.
- In Sri Lanka, before the use of DDT, 2.8 million people suffered from malaria. When the spraying stopped, only 17 people suffered from the disease. Then, no longer able to use DDT, Sri Lanka suffered a massive malaria epidemic: 1.5 million people were infected by the parasite.
- In South Africa, after DDT became unavailable, the number of malaria cases increased from 8,500 to 42,000 and malaria deaths from 22 to 320.
Since the mid-1970s, when DDT was eliminated from global eradication efforts, tens of millions of people have died from malaria unnecessarily: most have been children less than five years old..."

Progressive professor: To address climate change, we must 'seriously question' private property ownership - TheBlaze
Progressive professor: To address climate change, we must 'seriously question' private property ownership - TheBlaze:
To combat California wildfires allegedly caused by climate change, a writer at the progressive magazine The Nation is calling upon Americans to rethink the "seriously question the ideal of private homeownership."
"Yes, climate change intensifies the fires—but the ways in which we plan and develop our cities makes them even more destructive," writes Kian Goh, an assistant professor of urban planning at UCLA.

Yup. That's how the media frames it-----Clarice Feldman - When a white man attacks blacks, it's promoted...
"When a white man attacks blacks, it's promoted as hateful racism--even when the attack was a defensive one as it was in the Trayvon and Brown cases.
When it's the other way around--and statistically is usually is--it gets buried like the torture death of that young couple (Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom)or excused as mental illness.
The effect of this biased reporting leads Blacks to think they are under attack and whites to be disparaged as racist killers."

The Genealogy of Free Stuff: The Trump Card | Power Line
"On Friday the Wall Street Journal ran an extra-long and remarkable editorial about the agenda of Elizabeth Warren (“Elizabeth Warren Has a Plan, Oh My“), which is so far beyond extravagant that “socialism” seems an inadequate adjective.
She makes Bernie Sanders look cautious by comparison.
As the Journal put it in the lede:
"On Friday the Wall Street Journal ran an extra-long and remarkable editorial about the agenda of Elizabeth Warren (“Elizabeth Warren Has a Plan, Oh My“), which is so far beyond extravagant that “socialism” seems an inadequate adjective.
She makes Bernie Sanders look cautious by comparison.
As the Journal put it in the lede:
“[A]s we discovered after a tour of her 60-some policy papers, Ms. Warren is proposing a transformation of American government, business and life that exceeds what the socialist dreamers of a century ago imagined.”
...I’ve previously offered my theory that Democrats have decided they should make an open lurch to the left because the supposed weakness of Trump presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enact the sweeping socialist agenda that has long been their private dream...
An acquaintance with significant experience at the highest ranks of corporate America sent me a note with an additional explanation worth taking up:
Your discussion of the Democrats moving left makes sense. I think there is another factor. Trump refused to take the traditional Republican (Ryan) route of reforming entitlements. Democrats had feasted on this position for decades conjuring all kinds of horrors if reforms were enacted. Trump took this potent issue away from them. What to do? Expand the current entitlements! Once started, a bidding war developed and we have the Democratic candidate consensus on an impossible agenda. Also, the press had difficulty aggressively criticizing Trump’s position because they had endorsed Democratic criticisms of reform. So Trump is in an enviable position of criticizing unrealistic/irresponsible proposals instead of defending reductions.
There is a lot to this explanation..."

Mark Levin's speedy solution to the Pelosi impeachment problem - Washington Times
Mark Levin's speedy solution to the Pelosi impeachment problem - Washington Times:
Talk radio great and Fox News host Mark Levin, on his Facebook page, called for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to “put an end” to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s politically motivated hold-up of the impeachment articles, by declaring the whole matter “null and void.”
That’s one way of making clear the stuff and nonsense of the Democratic Party has come to an end.
Levin wrote: “Nancy Pelosi was apparently advised by leftwing Harvard law professor Lawrence Tribe to delay sending the impeachment to the Senate. So she’s unilaterally sitting on the impeachment. This is another brazen unconstitutional act.”

2. Margaret Sanger
The founder of Planned Parenthood, an organization as evil as the Einsatzgruppen, Sanger championed abortion and eugenics. More than 61 million children have been aborted in the United States alone since Roe v. Wade in 1973. Of these, Planned Parenthood is responsible for no less than 8 million abortion deaths. Statistically, Sanger has earned her spot on this list. These days abortionists don’t just kill children, they celebrate it as a moral good. That this is heinous should (but doesn’t) go without saying. And this brings me to a question: with assaults on statues being in fashion, how has Sanger’s statue in the Smithsonian survived?

It comes from a livestream of the service at the church near Fort Worth where someone opened fire on parishioners with what looks like a shotgun.
He was immediately shot by two legally armed persons, one of whom reportedly was a security guard. It appears that altogether, there were six people who immediately pulled guns in response to the shooter..."
