The women's team at Oregon has the best class in the nation coming in next year, including a 5' 11" wing player who has Sabrina-like mad skills.

The Lady Ducks made it to the Final Four this year.  With the No. 1 2020 recruiting class coming together like it is, something is definitely cooking in Eugene.

The Doomsday Machine

By 1969, as the war progressed under Richard Nixon, I saw such evil in government deceit that I asked myself, “What can I do to shorten a war that I know from an insider’s vantage point is going to continue and expand?” When the Pentagon Papers were released in 1971, the extent of government lies shocked the public. The retaliatory crimes Nixon committed against me out of fear that I would expose his own continuing threats—including nuclear threats—ultimately helped to bring him down and shorten the Vietnam War --DE

Up close with Daniel Ellsberg.

Sickening

The militarizing of empathy is repeatedly employed by mainstream media in their airing of heartstring-pulling stories of soldiers’ surprise homecomings. There are the soldiers dressed in disguises: like the father, after a year in Afghanistan, arriving home in a fire truck, decked out in firefighting gear and gas mask.  Kneeling before his two daughters, he took off his gas mask, and the surprised daughters cried out, “Daddy!,” and hugged him, “with tears of joy,” much to the delight of a gathered crowd.--Rev. WA.

All too true.

You can't even watch a damn sporting event these days without the militarization angle.  The over sized flag on the floor, the fatigues and medals flashing under the lights. The insistence on our "heroes" protecting us from some menace drawn up by Wall Street and the Pentagon. The bullshit piling up like the bodies of all the innocent in the foreign countries the U.S. thinks it is wise to invade and annihilate.

All in all, it's a sickening scene.

The Deaf, Dumb and Blind Dems

Nancy Pelosi and other party leaders are against impeachment, as are their media flacks.

They insist that the way to win the White House back in 2020 is to win Trump voters back, and that the way to do that is to veer as far to the right as the party can go without losing its base altogether.

They are surely right about the importance of winning back Trump voters – especially older, white men in de-industrializing and rural areas. But they are almost certainly wrong about how best to do it.--AL
