This, that....Cliven Bundy, freeloader, Climate Change is MAN MADE, Republican Racism
"One group that hasn’t yet cut ties with the real estate mogul is the Republican Party. While NBC, Univision and Macy’s have publicly denounced his beliefs, members of the Republican party have remained silent or have expressed their support for his anti-immigrant sentiment. On Tuesday, 2016 candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), whose father is Cuban, defended his opponent, saying, “I like Donald Trump. I think he’s terrific"
These people are disgusting.
Paying too little to workers will hurt everyone in the end, even those at the top. Unfortunately, most of us can't wait that long.
We have no words.

Where Were the Soldier-Cops at Bundy Ranch?

Ash writes: "Nothing could better illustrate the reality of anti-African-American bias in America today than the stark contrast between what happened at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada and what is happening in Ferguson, Missouri.

U.S. conducts massive nuclear arms

Chmilenko said. "Our self-defense guards are trying to stop the attack and
prevent the vehicles moving farther in the direction of Lugansk." Meanwhile,

MPs: Snowden files are 'embarrassing indictment' of British
spying oversight 08 May 2014 Edward
Snowden's disclosures of the scale of mass surveillance are "an embarrassing
indictment" of the weak nature of the oversight and legal accountability of
Britain's security and intelligence agencies, MPs have concluded. A highly
critical report by the Commons home affairs select committee published on Friday
calls for a radical reform of the current system of oversight of MI5, MI6 and
GCHQ, arguing that the current system is so ineffective it is undermining the
credibility of the intelligence agencies and parliament itself.
Fukushima: Cesium-137 levels '50 percent higher' than
previously estimated 10 May 2014 The
amount of Cesium-137 leaked from the Fukushima nuclear power plant could be
worse than expected, a Japanese research team has concluded. They believe 50
percent more of the radioactive material could have escaped into the atmosphere
and seawater. The original estimate of 13,600 terabecquerels was made by Tokyo
Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the operator of the power station. However, a new
report by Japanese researchers estimates that between 17,500 and 20,500
terabecquerels have been released, which is 50 percent higher than originally
thought.

Ice melt in part of Antarctica
'appears unstoppable,' NASA says --Region has enough ice to raise global sea levels by 4 feet
- NASA 12 May 2014 The complete melting of a major section of west
Antarctica's ice sheet appears inevitable, and the process could lead to higher
end-of-century global sea levels than previously anticipated, researchers said
Monday. Warm ocean currents and geographic peculiarities helped kick off a chain
reaction at the Amundsen Sea-area glaciers, melting them faster than previously
realized and pushing them "past the point of no return," NASA glaciologist Eric
Rignot told reporters by phone Monday. The glacial retreat there "appears
unstoppable," said Rignot, lead author of a joint NASA-University of California
Irvine paper that used 40 years of satellite data and aircraft
studies.

Republicans filibuster energy bill, ending chances of a vote
on Keystone 12 May 2014 The Senate
deadlocked Monday on a bipartisan energy bill, with Republicans mounting a
filibuster that also is likely to end any near-term consideration of the
Keystone XL pipeline proposal that has become a key issue in several critical
elections. The vote Monday - 55 to 36, mostly along party lines - on a modest
energy efficiency bill authored by Sens. Jean Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Rob Portman

ensnared by several controversial side issues amid Republican attempts to attach
amendments to the bill.
