You and I may think that Maxine Waters is an unhinged lunatic--she is, after all, an unhinged lunatic--but she is one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress. As the Democratic Chief Deputy Whip, she has held positions of enormous power, including chairing the Committee on Financial Services and now serving as its Ranking Member. She sits on the DNC and is one of the most vocal members of Congress. She has served as an advisor to Democrat presidential candidates since 1980. JUST IN: Rep. Maxine Waters launches new conspiracy theory that Trump supporters are “training up in the hills”...

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” that the Department of Justice should investigate “right-wing organizations” who supported former President Donald Trump “training up in the hill” for a civil war.Waters said, “You cannot trust anything that Donald Trump has to say no matter if he loses he is going to say it was fraud. He still has not accepted what happened in the last presidential election. We have to be very concerned about a former president of the United States talking about attacking his own country, talking about perhaps a bloodbath, talking...

Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (CA) appeared on MSNBC on Monday and floated an unhinged conspiracy theory that Trump supporters are “training up in the hills somewhere.” Maxine Waters said she’s going to ask the weaponized Justice Department and Joe Biden what they’re going to do to protect the country against violence if Trump loses the 2024 presidential election. “I wanna know about all those right-wing organizations that he’s connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere and targeting what communities they’re going to attack,” Maxine Waters said without providing any proof whatsoever to back up her claims.

Large NATO drills in the frigid fjords of northern Norway may be just war games meant to hone the fighting skills of the newly expanded 32-nation military alliance. But for troops taking part, they are very real. This week, crew members aboard the French frigate Normandie, one of France’s most modern warships, were roused from sleep and scrambled to hunt down and kill a submarine that snuck into cold Norwegian waters. The submarine belongs to Germany, also a NATO member. But for the purpose of the war games dubbed Nordic Response 2024, it was acting as an enemy vessel. The...

Business Insider ^ | 02 19 2024 | Matthew Loh
The Philippines' fishing bureau has accused Chinese fishing vessels of using cyanide to destroy Scarborough Shoal, a fish-rich atoll in the South China Sea contested by both Manila and Beijing. "These Chinese fishermen use cyanide," Nazario Briguera, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, said on Saturday, per a translation from Filipino by The Philippine Star. Cyanide fishing is a controversial fishing method that typically involves dumping the highly toxic chemical near coral reefs or in fishing grounds to stun or kill fish so they can be easily captured. It's widely condemned because it indiscriminately affects most...

Some people still claim that democracy means “government by the people.” But then you get “government by representatives, who don’t have any obligation to the people.” But then if the representatives do something the people want, oh sorry, actually the court system says they can’t do that. It’s not only not “government by the people,” it is the system of government where the people have less influence than in any other system of government, ever, in all of human history.

Approximately 1,000 boats will gather in Turkey on Wednesday before heading toward Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade and disrupt maritime trade coming into Israel during the war with Hamas, in an apparent repeat of similar attempts from over a decade ago. In an interview with Turkish news website Haber7, Volkan Okçu, one of the organizers of the protest, indicated the boats will carry 4,500 people from 40 countries, “including anti-Zionist Jews.” Among the 1,000 vessels would be 313 boats filled with Russian activists, and 104 filled with Spanish activists, he said. Only 12 Turkish vessels will...

Via Fernando de Castro in Brazil Prestigious hotels in Colombia, Uruguay, and Argentina are refusing to accommodate former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters. The refusal stems from Waters’ anti-Semitic positions. The decision to reject lodging for the left-wing singer and his team is primarily due to his stance on the Hamas-Israel conflict. Waters denied the responsibility of the terrorist group for the October 7 attacks, which claimed over 1,400 lives in Israeli territory. Over 200 Jews are still missing and being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. A Waters concert is scheduled to take place in the Uruguayan capital this...

Whales, dolphins and seals living in U.S. waters face major threats from warming ocean temperatures, rising sea levels and decreasing sea ice volumes associated with climate change, according to a first-of-its-kind assessment. Researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration examined more than 100 stocks of American marine mammal species and found more than 70% of those stocks are vulnerable to threats, such as loss of habitat and food, due to the consequences of warming waters. The impacts also include loss of dissolved oxygen and changes to ocean chemistry. The scientists found large whales such as humpbacks and North Atlantic...

Hollywood in ToTo ^ | 8 Oct 2023 | Staff
The best rock ‘n’ roll bands on the planet rarely get along. For every U2, a quartet known for their off-mic harmony, there’s a Beatles, Rolling Stones or Van Halen. Rock infighting is as ubiquitous as trashed hotel rooms and sexualized groupies. Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend can’t hide their differences, but they do just that when it’s time to go on stage or record a new song. The Pink Floyd infighting is still legendary by those measures. David Gilmour and Roger Waters, who many perceive as the heart of the legendary band, haven’t shared an amicable word in some...
