Nearly half of American workers have low-wage jobs

12/12/2019

During the days of slavery in the south there was full employment also:
​A new report indicates that nearly half the working American population has a problem.

According to a Brookings Institution analysis, unemployment may be down, but there aren't enough good jobs to go around.

They say 44% of American workers are employed in low-wage jobs that pay median annual wages of $18,000.

The report says their median hourly wages are $10.22. That's higher than the federal minimum wage which sits at $7.25. The minimum wage in Louisiana is also $7.25.

That's nearly half of the American workforce who don't make what's considered a living wage. According to MIT, a living wage for a single person in Louisiana is $11.28. The poverty wage for a single adult with two children is $9.99.

This isn't just a problem for workers who are young or inexperienced, according to the report. The low-wage workforce is primarily made up of post-college age adults and older Americans.

Fox News Is Now a Threat to National Security

12/11/2019

It is time we #BoycottFOXNews:
​It’s worse than lunacy, though. Fox’s bubble reality creates a situation where it’s impossible to have the conversations and debate necessary to function as a democracy. Facts that are inconvenient to President Trump simply disappear down Fox News’ “memory hole,” as thoroughly as George Orwell could have imagined in 1984.

The idea that Fox News represents a literal threat to our national security, on par with Russia’s Internet Research Agency or China’s Ministry of State Security, may seem like a dramatic overstatement of its own—and I, a paid contributor to its competitor CNN, may appear a biased voice anyway—but this week has made clear that, as we get deeper into the impeachment process and as the 2020 election approaches, Fox News is prepared to destroy America’s democratic traditions if it will help its most important and most dedicated daily viewer.

What if Bernie Sanders Isn't Nominated? Then What?

12/1/2019

Comments

There hasn't been a vote yet cast in the Democratic primary. But it is clear that the Bernie Sanders will not be the nominee. And if so what happens to his goal of bringing about significant change in American politics and our society?

The Democratic Party establishment is never going to allow a progressive and socialist like Bernie to be nominated. They didn't allow it in 2016 when Hillary and the party engaged in dirty tricks to prevent a fair fight. In fact, a high ranking Democrat admitted they rigged the nominating process in favor of Ms.Clinton. 

This time around the biggest obstacle are just as daunting. The Democratic party hierarchy deliberately invited 2 dozen candidates to run for the 2020 nomination. In this way Sanders will not be able to get the necessary majority of delegates in the primaries/caucus.' The winner will be picked by the establishment at the convention. We even have Obama threatening to intervene if it looks like Sanders is winning the nomination. The odds are stacked against Bernie.

Unlike in 2016, Sanders has not seen his poll numbers rise above 24% since announcing his 2020 run. He would need to win Iowa and have a strong outcome in New Hampshire to have a shot. Currently he's behind in both states. That makes him getting a majority of delegates almost impossible. 

It doesn't matter to the Democratic establishment that Sanders performs best (along with Biden) in a hypothetical matchup with Trump. It even doesn't matter that his platform is popular with voters.  It's all about preserving the interests of the 1 percent.

So what happens when Democrats predictably nominate a corporate Democrat next summer? Assuming Bernie Sanders doesn't run on a third party ticket, which he won't (Although, I think he would have a good chance of winning a general election). What do voters do then? Do we hold our noses as we did in 2016 and vote the 'lesser of two evils'? There is another choice. A Third Party.

Democrats will of course make the standard excuse that a third party will re-elect Trump. We were told that in 2016. So what happened? Trump was elected. It happened because the Democrats nominated a corporate Democrat. It is true the Kremlin had a hand in the defeat. But it wouldn't have happened if Hillary Clinton were not corrupt. Bernie would have beaten Trump if he had been nominated in 2016.

We mustn't  accept the propaganda that a third party presidential candidate will mean a Trump victory. A third party movement will emcompasses many of Sanders' ideas. We will also appeal to many Republican voters who have seen their country deteriorate under the rule of a party that has chosen treason over their welfare. Voters from both parties are tired of a system that benefits of the very few. That is why the approval rating of both parties is so poor. Democrats have proven that they don't give a damn about the 99 percent. They, like the fascistic Republican Party, serve the same master: big business and the wealthy.

It is time we break the chains of the corporate rule in America. Are you ready to fight for your survival? Or will you become sheep being led to the slaughter. Choose to fight. Join us in the struggle to take back what belongs to We The People.

​Join the revolution.

Trump is at War with the Military

11/26/2019

Trump has consistently shown his contempt for the military. But now it's taken a whole new level:
​If Donald Trump gets his wish, he’ll soon take the three convicted or accused war criminals he spared from consequence on the road as special guests in his re-election campaign, according to two sources who have heard Trump discuss their potential roles for the 2020 effort.

Despite military and international backlash to Trump’s Nov. 15 clemency—fallout from which cost Navy Secretary Richard Spencer his job on Sunday—Trump believes he has rectified major injustices. Two people tell The Daily Beast they’ve heard Trump talk about how he’d like to have the now-cleared Clint Lorance, Matthew Golsteyn, or Edward Gallagher show up at his 2020 rallies, or even have a moment on stage at his renomination convention in Charlotte next year. Right-wing media have portrayed all three as martyrs brought down by “political correctness” within the military.

Ex-Trump Homeland Security adviser rips Giuliani, calls claim Ukraine hacked DNC a 'conspiracy theory'

9/29/2019

Hopefully his criticism will pave the way for other former Trump employees and Republican politicians to denounce this monstrosity in the White House:
​A former Homeland Security adviser in the Trump administration said Sunday that the unsubstantiated claim that Ukraine was responsible for the hack of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in 2016 is a "conspiracy theory" with "no validity."

Tom Bossert, who served in administration between 2017 and 2018, made the comments on ABC's "This Week" while condemning Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, for "repeating the debunked theory" related to Ukraine and the DNC server to the president. 

The comments from Bossert came in light of revelations that Trump addressed the hack of the DNC during a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. 

"It’s not only a conspiracy theory, it is completely debunked," Bossert said, adding that he communicated this to Trump during his time working in the administration.

Is the United States on the brink of a revolution?

9/25/2019

​Really? A revolution in the U.S.?

​The United States is displaying all of the above characteristics. The country is experiencing tremendous levels of economic inequality that’s worsening according to every meaningful measurement.

The New York Times writes about the “broken economy,” The Atlantic notes the “toxic class divide” that is “fast becoming unbridgeable,” and the Intelligencer calls recent data released by the Federal Reserve “a damning indictment of capitalism.”

Compared to the previous decade, Americans are working much more for much less pay, and they’re paying substantially more for their basic necessities. Even Fox News is having a hard time spinning the fact the more Americans than ever need to hold multiple jobs, a full-time job and part-time employment on top of that, just to make ends meet.

While the devastation visited upon the working class by the 2008 recession is far from remedied, economists are already forecasting a new recession.

These would be troubling signs in a country where trust in political authority is strong. In the U.S., that’s not the case.

There has been a substantial loss of faith in the political authority. Trust in the political system is at an all-time low, and Americans also seem to have lost faith in politicians, even the rare few they believe mean well.

​A South Jersey police officer testified Monday that Bordentown Police Chief Frank Nucera Jr. routinely used racial slurs and compared blacks to ISIS and said President Trump “is the last hope for white people.”

The explosive testimony came in the second week of Nucera’s hate-crime assault trial in U.S. District Court in Camden. The now-former chief is also charged with a civil rights violation and lying to the FBI.
