Philippines President Duterte Told Obama to “Go To Hell” – Now, This Murderous Thug Is Becoming Best Buds With Trump

Posted by | Dec 8, 2016 | , |

After years of strained relations with the U.S., Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is suddenly very keen on being friends now that we’re looking at a Trump Administration. In stark contrast to the condemnation from President Obama, in a recent telephone conversation, Trump reportedly told Duterte that the U.S. and the Philippines should “fix our bad relations,” adding, “You’re doing great!” To what is Trump referring? According to Duterte, Trump is very impressed with his crackdown on the illegal drug trade in his country. That crackdown has resulted in more that 1,400 murders over an 18-year period since 1998. Most...

More Faithless Electors Are Coming Forward and Speaking Out Against Voting for Trump

To date, eight electors have come out stating that they will not cast their votes for Donald Trump come December 19th. The most recent is Christopher Suprun. He is part of a growing faction within the Electoral College who are calling themselves the “Hamilton Electors.” These electors cite Federalist Papers #68, in which Alexander Hamilton wrote: “The process of the Electoral College affords a moral certainty, that the office of the President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.” If there was ever a President-elect...

America now has its own de facto “Ministry of Truth”  in a vast, corporate media machine that is busy spreading lies, rumors and half-truths to a dumbed-down, gullible, ignorant and paranoid public too pressed for time – or too lazy – to do any fact checking. Furthermore, it’s being aided and abetted by an increasingly aggressive right-wing, which is gaming and skewing search engine results as well as self-serving, unethical individuals who create fake news and spread them on social media sites – whether for profit or their own...

No, Donald – You CANNOT Hold The Lease on Your New Luxury Hotel Just Down The Street

No, Donald – You CANNOT Hold The Lease on Your New Luxury Hotel Just Down The Street

Posted by | Dec 5, 2016 | |

Among the numerous conflicts of interest Donald Trump is facing as his inauguration draws near is a new luxury hotel located just down the street from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that he opened this past October. The Trump International Hotel is located in the Post Office Pavilion – a historic building that at one time housed the U.S. Postal Service’s main headquarters. Instead of owning the land that his D.C. hotel is on, Trump, who spent more than $200 million renovating and remodeling the building, signed a 60-year lease with the General Services Administration in 2013. Effectively, this means that...

It looks like the incoming Trump Administration may be attempting to keep one of its promises to keep jobs here at home – but at what cost? Recently, Greg Hayes, CEO of United Technologies (the multinational corporate megalith that owns and operates Carrier, manufacturer of building climate control equipment), paid a visit to Vice-President elect Mike Pence.  Though he is soon to be Vice President, Pence is currently governor of Indiana, where a Carrier plant contemplating outsourcing is located. Hayes walked out of that meeting with a sweet deal: $7 million in tax breaks over the next decade for...
