Walnut.... it is hard enough that I would not bite through it! You should see me when I do my gardening.... long sleeves, gloves, goggles, mask, shield..... and still I sequel and run from worms. I have always feared worms.... and they are such benign creatures, no teeth, and they work so hard in the garden. I guess a Liberal would say I am wormaphobic!! Don't let this get out.... they will be protesting my farm and saying I hate worms, which I do not, just because they are brown.
Walnut.... it is hard enough that I would not bite... (show quote)


Is it the thought of touching one, or just the sight of them, being all 'wiggly' and such? (Scoleciphobia– Fear of worms.) Of course, there is the possibility that you fear them because they might infest your mortal being (Helminthophobia– Fear of being infested with worms.) Either of those is a bona fide phobia, incurable, of course... Sadly, fear and hate do tend to go hand-in-hand, so you might as well get used to being a 'worm-hater'.

By the way, not all earthworms are brown, some are multicolored and others are dark red or purplish in hue, so at least you're an equal opportunity worm hater!

And yes, he gets to decide the timing:

"...he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper;..."

I never cease to be amazed and appalled by politicians and their supporters who refuse to RTM!

What is Trump going to do with the Fraud of the Plunge Protection Teams?

Good question. I guess it all depends on the fraud committed and the ease of convicting the fraudsters. Some fraud is prohibitively difficult to prove, some relatively easy. Some types of fraud are grievously harmful to a large group or section of the population, other types are hardly detectable either from their effects or by observation. It will be interesting to me as an outside observer...

Richard Wolff: The Next Economic Crisis Is Coming

Every time I sit down with economist Richard Wolff, he demonstrates why the field of economics is so necessary in the cultural critique of our American empire. In my recent interview with him, we discussed why the thriving economy touted by President Donald Trump hasn’t translated into real gains for the majority of Americans.

Is that so? I'd like to see the raw data on that statistic because just about everyone I know and speak to about this tells me that yes, they are doing better now than they ever have done before, and they attribute their greater comfort and success directly to the Trump administration either cutting taxes, reducing government fees and regulations, or both. It would seem that we do not operate in the same 'America'.

We also went over what is hidden by the economic indicators that allow the financial industry to celebrate while so many Americans are still suffering.

Suffering from what? And how many is so many?

Professor Wolff talked with me on my show “Redacted Tonight: VIP” on RT America. Enjoy this excerpt from the interview.

LEE CAMP: Professor Wolff — thanks for joining me! Last month was, apparently, the worst December for the stock market since the year 1980. What’s going on here?

RICHARD WOLFF: A lot of things are coming to a head. Each one of them by itself might have gone by without this, but they’re too many.

To list major ones: The tariff war with China, Europe and the rest creates enormous uncertainty. It makes all the predictions and plans of corporations and entire countries uncertain. People are holding back. Number one.

'Tariff war'. Love it! There is no 'tariff war! Yes, certain tariffs were raised on certain products in an attempt to highlight the one-sided trade taking place across certain borders, namely between the United States and China, and the United States and the European Union. As for China, products shipped out of China are heavily subsidized by the Communist regime over there, making trade with Chinese companies a very one-sided operation and causing American companies and workers untold hardships. Interestingly, now that there are import taxes being levied against these subsidized products, the Chinese government are suddenly open to renegotiating the terms of their relationship with American importers. Europe is a similar scenario, but on a much less grand scale.

Number two, the capitalist system that we’re all part of has a downturn on average every four to seven years. It’s been more than seven years since the last crash — 2008/9 —so everybody knows it’s coming.

It’s not a question of whether, we’ve never been able to overcome these kinds of instabilities in our system. So we’re overdue for one.

Hmm. A Marxist college professor who bad-mouths capitalism. Imagine that. He's spot on about the frequency of so-called downturns, but that's not because we have 'capitalism' in America. Far from it. It's because we have a central bank endowed with monopoly rights to the issuance of a fiat currency that the American people are forced to use and accept as payment by law.

And here’s another one that people don’t talk about. The big tax cut last December, 2017, gave an awful lot of money to the richest Americans and to big corporations. They had no incentive to plow that into their businesses, because Americans can’t buy any more than they already do. They’re up to their necks in debt and all the rest.

Horse Puckey! Everybody got a tax cut. Not just 'the richest Americans'. Once again, Marxist disinformation being disseminated as fact. This guy has the gall to call himself an economist.

Sicilianthing wrote:
So what they did was to take the money they saved from taxes and speculate in the stock market, driving up the shares and so forth. Naive people thought that was a sign of economic health. It wasn’t. It was money bidding up the price of stock until the underlying economy was so far out of whack with the stock market that now everybody realizes that and there’s a rush to get out and boom, the thing goes down.

Very serious. The question now is how badly the underlying economy — jobs, incomes, and debts — will be impacted negatively by all of this stock market downturn.
So what they did was to take the money they saved ... (show quote)

The stock market was artificially inflated for years by the Federal Reserve printing currency like there was no tomorrow. When the money base triples in a few short years, all that currency has to go somewhere, and with bank interest rates at or near zero, the stock market is the only obvious alternative. He's right about the negative impacts, but wrong about the causes, I think purposely so.

LC: You brought up predictions of an impending crash because it’s been seven or eight years, even JPMorgan Chase has told investors that the next crash, the crisis, they think will be in 2020. What does it mean when the largest financial firms in the world are saying, “Oh yeah! We’re just going to have another financial crisis around the corner”?

RW: It’s a wonderful sign. (Laughs) And by the way, JPMorgan Chase is not the only one. Goldman Sachs has done that, the International Monetary Fund, lots of the major players know it’s coming. The only disagree on exactly when which you can never know anyway. But here’s what it means, it means that they have accepted, as if it were like rain falling from the sky, that this economic system we have crashes every few years. As if it’s kind of in the cards. Unchangeable. Unaffected by anything we might do.

It’s kind of like giving up on the human desire not to be plunged into a crazy unemployment and cutback every few years that interrupts people’s lives, their educations, their savings for the future. I mean, we ought to have an economic situation, or at least a debate, about an economic system that works this way rather than simply accepting it in the manner of these predictions. As if there’s nothing we can do.

One more time: "I mean, we ought to have an economic situation, or at least a debate, about an economic system that works this way rather than simply accepting it in the manner of these predictions. As if there’s nothing we can do." That's right, we should. That should start and end with ending the Federal Reserve and leaving people to make their own decisions about what they will accept as money. End the Fed and the 'boom-bust cycle' ends with it.

I can't do this anymore. This guy has absolutely zero interest in making honest appraisals of the economic disaster about to break across the globe once again and he seems more interested in pushing his Marxist propaganda as some kind of panacea for the real distress being caused in our everyday lives. No wonder the colleges are producing socialists and outright communists by the cartload, these kids are being indoctrinated by the likes of 'Professor' Richard Wolff and his comrades.

Leftists are Now Demanding We All Pay ‘Sleep Reparations’

Many on the left believe that white American taxpayers should pay reparations to black Americans as penance for the horrors of slavery. However, some on the left are taking these demands even further, saying that, in addition to money, African Americans should be given “sleep reparations”, or paid time off where they are allowed to sleep.

The justification for these sleep reparations comes from a study that found black people, on average, get less sleep than white people. The study drew no conclusions as to why this was the case. However, to those on the left, the answer was obvious — black people must be losing sleep due to the pressures of systematic racism.

As a way to combat the system that is supposedly robbing African Americans of their sleep, one leftist writer proposed that black people should be given extra time off from work where they are allowed to catch up on their sleep. This, of course, must come in addition to the financial reparations that the left is demanding.

Most African Americans in the United States today are at least three generations removed from slavery. Nevertheless, according to the left, slavery must be the answer for the sleep disparity between white and black people, and sleep reparations are owed.

Every couple of years this idiotic idea is resurrected and once again we're all 'racists' because we refuse to make amends for an injustice we didn't commit to a certain group of people who didn't suffer the injustice.

So let's go through the hoops yet again in the vain hope that this time it will die for good.

Hoop #1:
I am not a slave owner. I have never been a slave owner and I do not know any slave owners. I have not profited from slave ownership and therefore do not have any profits to distribute to those who were never slaves in reparation for the slavery they were never subjected to.

Hoop#2:
I know no slaves. I have never laid eyes on a slave in all my 56 years on this planet. I have never been a slave and have no desire to own any slaves. As far as I know, slavery in the United States was abolished many, many years ago, long before even my grandfather was born.

Hoop #3:
Every slave and slave owner in the United States perished many, many years ago, and none of them are still in existence today, so just who, exactly, is meant to be the deserving recipient of this payment in reparation, and under what pretext? And who is meant to provide the necessary funds that have not been garnered as the proceeds of the non-slavery?

Do the world a favor. The next time some fool starts grousing about reparations for a slave trade that was abolished over 150 years ago, ignore him, he'll go away eventually.

So, who will it be, Andrew Napolitano or Jeanine Pirro? I suppose Judge Jeanine would be the obvious choice because she's replacing a woman but there's no rule saying that has to be the case. Either would be a good fit.

It's about time the press stop letting trump determine the news cycle!

The press determines what they report on, not the President. By the way, MRC analysts evaluated 1,007 evening news broadcasts spanning a total of 1,960 minutes from ABC, CBS and NBC over the four-month period June 1 to September 30, 2018, and found 92% negative coverage of Trump's Presidency. So who's determining what here? According to MRC Director Richard Noyes: “Over the summer, the broadcast networks have continued to pound Donald Trump and his team with the most hostile coverage of a president in TV news history". Mmm-hmm.

Lonewolf wrote:
Thats what trump is doing with the wall and shutdown deflecting he goes from one fire to another. One giant soap opra or sitcom.

Amazing. He tells them if they don't pass a budget that finances a substantial portion of the border security wall, as mandated by the same Congress, by the way, he will veto it. They didn't, he did, and now he's somehow to blame? You really should turn off the (CNN?) TV and get out more.

Lonewolf wrote:
Any thing to get his suporters looking the other way.

His 'supporters' (suporters? really?) are looking right at him and applauding every win as it surfaces. That's a lot of applause, by the way. You seem to think this is some kind of gameshow where the President tries to do his job and the Congress tries to make it impossible for him to fulfill his campaign promises. This is no game. People are dying because the border is open to all and sundry and they're not nice people, as your abject goddess Nancy PukedOnMe would have you believe.

Lonewolf wrote:
If he insist on telling the same lies over and over just don't report on it!

Ah. Lies. Yes... Funny how those 'lies' always seem to bear out after the kerfuffle dies down, isn't it? They scream "LIES" from the rooftops then stay shtum when it turns out to be the truth. There are plenty of lies out there but very few of them come from the White House these days. If you'd like a list of the so-called 'lies' that were shown to be factual, I'd be happy to provide it, but don't blame me when your whole 'progressive' house of cards comes crashing down around your ears.
