“The series of economic and financial developments on Friday was a strange, bewildering, exhausting microcosm of why the global economy is at risk of a meltdown,” the New York Times reports.
“It showed the odd interplay at work between the Chinese government’s actions in the escalating trade war with the United States, the sober-minded global central bankers who have limited power to deploy and an American president whose public pronouncements often appear driven by grievance more than strategy.
Scaramucci said he “will be working to find a nominee to challenge Donald Trump because he’s lost his mind. And we’ve got to get somebody in there before we lose the election in 2020.”
Actually that would be the New York Times opines. You are not "reporting" something you have an opinion about, you are opining. But hey, that one little word tells us all we need to know about why the Times has become little more than a politically partisan national enquirer. The believe their own opinions now are fact.
Some years ago, Dr. Tim Ball wrote that climate scientist Michael Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn State.” At issue was Mann’s famous “hockey stick” graph that purported to show a sudden and unprecedented 20th century warming trend. The hockey stick featured prominently in the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report (2001), but has since been shown to be wrong. The question, in my view, is whether it was an innocent mistake or deliberate fraud on Mann’s part. (Mann, I believe, continues to assert the accuracy of his debunked graph.) Mann sued Ball for libel in 2011. Principia Scientific now reports that the court in British Columbia has dismissed Mann’s lawsuit with prejudice, and assessed costs against him.
What happened was that Dr. Ball asserted a truth defense. He argued that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud, something that could be proved if one had access to the data and calculations, in particular the R2 regression analysis, underlying it. Mann refused to produce these documents. He was ordered to produce them by the court and given a deadline. He still refused to produce them, so the court dismissed his case.
The rules of discovery provide that a litigant must make available to opposing parties documents that reasonably bear on the issues in the case. Here, it is absurd for Mann to sue Ball for libel, and then refuse to produce the documents that would have helped to show whether Ball’s statement about him–he belongs in the state pen–was true or false. The logical inference is that the R2 regression analysis and other materials, if produced, would have supported Ball’s claim that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud on Mann’s part.
Mann says that his lawyers are considering an appeal. He can appeal to his heart’s content, but there is not a court in North America that will allow a libel case to proceed where the plaintiff refuses to produce the documents that may show whether the statements made about him were true or false.
In coming days, no doubt we’ll be reading about all the issues on which David Koch, his brother and their comrades in arms have exerted influence for their benefit and at the expense of ordinary people. Let’s not overlook that the financial machine they created also prompted the creation of a financial machine in opposition to their interests. The total effect is to create an electoral system awash with self-interested money, with no countervailing pressure in sight.
We are all paying the price, and will continue to do so into the limitless future.
The Koch brothers’ individual efforts to undermine policies on climate change and other problems are bad enough, but the system they pioneered bodes even worse for the future of American democracy. And let’s not ignore that this system has spread throughout American politics, with huge funding networks on the right and the left.
Conservative firebrand former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh announced Sunday with ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" that he's launching a long-shot Republican presidential primary challenge against President Donald Trump.
"I'm going to run for president," Walsh told Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview.
When Stephanopoulos pointed out the massive uphill climb Walsh has in front of him in the primary thanks to Trump's overwhelmingly high approval rating within the party, the controversial former congressman argued that conservatives don't have an alternative to the president.
"I'm running because he's unfit; somebody needs to step up and there needs to be an alternative. The country is sick of this guy's tantrum -- he's a child," Walsh said.
so george soros and tom steyer and a host of other left-wing billionaires can pump as much $$$ as they want into their favored political causes, but when a person of the right does so, well...that's just not fair.
heh.
good job alky. you managed to select one of the intellectually lazier pieces written in the wake of koch's death.
And despite what his enablers claim, Mr. Trump isn’t a conservative. He’s reckless on fiscal issues; he’s incompetent on the border; he’s clueless on trade; he misunderstands executive power; and he subverts the rule of law. It’s his poor record that makes him most worthy of a primary challenge.
Mr. Trump has taken the legitimate differences that Americans have on policy and turned them into personal division. He’s caused me to change my tone and to reflect upon where I went over the line and to focus on policy differences moving forward.
We now have a president who retweets conspiracy theories implicating his political opponents in Jeffrey Epstein’s death. We now have a president who does his level best to avoid condemning white supremacy and white nationalism.
Replying to @KamalaHarris California pays public workers who specialize in picking up human feces because their corrupt politicians have turned their once beautiful state into a public health disaster. Kamala should not be "running for president."
She should pick up a shovel.
***Congratulations, Democrats have made California "shovel ready" !!!***
so, let's review folks. the alky stumbles out of hiding in some rat-infested, typhus-laden homeless shelter, and the very first thing he does is celebrate the candidacy of a guy who peddles in racist 0linsky birther nonsense.
i'm still waiting for someone to define "assault weapon."
You'll wait a long time, because no one will define it.
In the traditional definition, the key feature of the rifle is that it must be capable of fully automatic fire. That excludes every rifle on the market that the general public can buy,
Yeah, I notice the hypocrisy too. The left's reaction to Koch's death was not only uncivil. It borders on evil.
recently the alky acquired a new-found infatuation with george will. apparently because will has become a vocal anti-trumper, and is now collecting a check from MSDNC.
interesting little factoid about will-
for several decades he's been an ardent advocate for $$$ in politics, correctly noting that it's really a first amendment issue. political $$$ is speech. period.
and i can recall a time when he noted that we spend more each year on halloween candy in this country than we spend on political speech every election.
so yeah, not only is the glee over koch's death hypocritical, it's also fueled by shallow thinking and utter nonsense - two common traits among liberals.
Are the Three Socialist Stooges of CHT really aurguing against giving?
"185 million
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
According to Koch Industries records, the money helped fund cancer research, a childcare center, biology building and the David H. Koch School of Chemical Engineering.
$150 million
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
It was the largest single gift the center received. The money went to build an outpatient medical facility.
$100 million
New York-Presbyterian Hospital
Koch sent the nine-figure donation to help build an ambulatory care center in his honor. Another $28 million went to other needs for the hospital.
$100 million
New York State Theater at Lincoln Center
The theatre is now known as the David H. Koch Theatre."
Just a few of the Many he gave to.
KU is a big recipient as is KU Medical Research Hopital.
It tells us a good deal about the moral complexion of the reflexive left that someone like Bill Maher, whom the herd of independent minds clusters around when it wants to indulge some particularly ungenerous impulse, should have greeted the death of David Koch with the remark that ‘he and his brother have done more than anybody to fund climate science deniers for decades, so fuck him. The Amazon is burning up. I’m glad he’s dead.’
‘Climate deniers.’ ‘The Amazon is burning.’ ‘I’m glad he’s dead.’ A better example of stupidity fired by heinous moral obtuseness would be hard to find. It almost goes without saying that Maher’s television audience erupted in applause and titters at his ignorant and shameful observation.
In another bit of news yesterday, it was reported that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had just completed yet another round of radiation to treat the recurrent cancer she has been suffering from. The venue for her treatment was Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York. Only a few stories noted that in 2015 David Koch donated $159 million to Sloan Kettering, thus plausibly salvaging the life of one of the left’s hoariest icons.
i quit smoking cigarettes around 20 years ago. that's as close as i can come when someone like a doc asks when i quit. don't miss them in the least, and certainly don't remember the day i smoked my last one.
you obviously miss the booze every fucking waking moment.
. Most people don’t realize over 700,000 were sold in the decade the ban was in force.
And most people don't give a fuck about your opinion!!!! Simple definition is all you need....Like caliber, get rid of magazine....and have a manual requirement between shots.....!!! I am looking forward for another brilliant Paula retort!!!!
We have to see the dangers of having a wild man in the Oval Office during a time of growing anxiety and possible economic crisis now.
Hiding behind the irrational behavior and claiming that the Socialist party is now the Democratic party is a danger to the Constitution and for which it stands.

You can't put that in a law because Supreme Court will say it unconstitutionally vague and the decision would be unanimous.
You would have to list what "feature" makes it an assault weapon.
Compare and contrast the Remington model 7400 deer rifle with the A/R 15.
Both have a pistol grip, both are semiautomatic with a clip magazine, but the Remington uses a large caliber bullet.
Which one is the assault rifle?

Calibers of a Deer rifle are larger than an A/R 15.
And a squirrel gun is usually a 22 caliber gun,
Which caliber would you ban?
Every gun sold to the public has the manual requirement of pulling the trigger for every shot.
And the design of magazines vary. Which ones would you ban?
and have a manual requirement between shots
Hey stupid it’s called the trigger, you have to pull it every time between shots
Hey stupid it’s called the trigger
