So many words where one will do: Graham was a neo-con. Governor's appointment. Governor is solid Republican.

I marvel that there can be very many people who think a piece of tolled road infrastructure can be something that turns a noticeable profit, rather than something that with a bit of luck pays for itself and its maintenance until it is replaced.

Absorbs the right side of the LPC after the LPC is dragged left by the remnants of the other parties. Pretty much the same thing observed in the US.

This is where long-term strategic thinking enters. Canada should not only plan to be in the same kind of position the US was relative to the other belligerents (all sides) in WW II, but plan to be running in that direction before widespread hostilities begin. Capable of manufacturing complex...

Scott Jennings makes part of his living puncturing Democratic balloons on CNN. I doubt he'd try to blow up one of his own. Ditto a couple of other big names. These aren't people living on the extreme left or right fringes. What would be the point of trying to tell a whoppingly large easily...

Except that article, dated today, is already obsolete. Several people have reported they had conversations with McConnell. A small fringe of conservatives are spinning up conspiracies. Those are the small potatoes. Several prominent Democratic politicians and supporters have backtracked on...

It's hard to burn cities unless you have forces on a WW II scale, which is not an immediate prospect for either side. Vital infrastructure is what you attack unless you have a massive munitions delivery capability. Ukraine's campaign against exquisite Russian targets is about the only way out...

All this stuff is fine for raiding, if that's all that's required. For presence, a surprising amount of less glamourous defence and engineering units are required along with the necessary naval tail, especially if you can't keep a couple of CVs on station.

Too bad demonstration sports have been suspended. A window of opportunity for MMA, lost.

More than fun. They'll be the greatest Olympics ever!

Not yet. A certain amount of obfuscation is always to be expected. I've yet to be surprised, even by governments run by people I vastly preferred over alternatives.

People can probably put away their fantasies about McConnell. Scott Jennings has reported talking with Mitch at length this morning. See here.

US government politicians, like US government employees, have health care provided by their "employer". Not really the same thing as socialized medical care.

Democrats melting down over Graham Platner after making excuses for every flaw that turned up is just chef's kiss this week. Apparently when it comes to accusations of rape, the difference between credible/unacceptable and not-credible/ignorable is the accuser's politics. All that stuff that...

Or you could just be wrong. I suppose there won't be any resolution one way or the other, but for people who like to spend their time in bad humour, Trump delivers again. If the US isn't going to investigate its senior politicians when they do improbably well speculating, shrug.

[Add: fine, but your beef is with the article author(s).] I'm not saying all is well. I'm saying none of us know what the situation is. As I say, some could (should) investigate. If there are no investigations, observers can chalk it up to conspiracies to hide crimes, or insufficient...

"...his investment advisers made more than 21,000 securities trades" "...Trump's investment advisers have also carried out more trades than prior years" Seeing a pattern there. "Trump" is not executing the trades. On to what might be a concern: "While the trades overall suggest Trump's...

What "say" is it you think they should have that they don't? Modern corporate etc. is a major driver of the economy, period. Stratification is mainly a result of people with high-value skills getting what they can. The top 1% isn't the problem; the top 25% is. Yeah, that might happen. A lot...

Do you have any understanding at all of what corporations really do with respect to pooling investment and resources to undertake complex endeavours?

Ordinary people, then. Owners/shareholders, employees, and consumers. Corporations enable specialization; specialization promotes productivity; productivity promotes prosperity; prosperity promotes well-being.
