This is the picture that should have made headlines across the country. "Victory for David Duke and the KKK"

Don't think for one minute there is any remorse by Duke and his friends either. Talking past this disaster of a country won't make it any better and won't make the KKK go away.

...One of America’s (click here) most prominent neo-Nazi websites has apparently ordered its readers to harass the funeral of Heather Heyer, the civil rights worker who was killed during the disorder in Virginia town of Charlottesville.

The Daily Stormer helped organise the ultra-right wing rally where a car was driven into counter-demonstrators, killing the 32-year-old paralegal and hurting 19 other people....

These are the friends of President Trump while he denies that is the case. We may as well call him and them what they are, radical extremists.

McConnnel is silent because he doesn't want to make it appear as though he and his wife have control of the cabinet. What will happen next is an infrastructure bill that will carry radical changes to the permitting process and seek to destroy the previous environmental law.

It is astounding to realize a cabinet secretary has spent the first eight months of her office making flow charts. That is probably the country's new infrastructure funding. The lack of permits.

The triumphant Duke has polluted the airwaves again with idiocy and ideology. 

"Equal Rights for All. Special Privilege for None. The Courage to Be Different."

As of the speech yesterday, Trump has drunk the Duke "Cool-aid." What Duke didn't include in his slogan is "Death to all that oppose us."

Hitler lives. His followers have their own economy spelled out for them.

Section 2: Relative Diminution of the Variable Part of Capital Simultaneously with the Progress of Accumulation and of the Concentration that Accompanies it 

According to the economists themselves, it is neither the actual extent of social wealth, nor the magnitude of the capital already functioning, that lead to a rise of wages, but only the constant growth of accumulation and the degree of rapidity of that growth. (Adam Smith, Book I., chapter 8.) So far, we have only considered one special phase of this process, that in which the increase of capital occurs along with a constant technical composition of capital. But the process goes beyond this phase. Once given the general basis of the capitalistic system, then, in the course of accumulation, a point is reached at which the development of the productivity of social labour becomes the most powerful lever of accumulation. “The same cause,” says Adam Smith, “which raises the wages of labour, the increase of stock, tends to increase its productive powers, and to make a smaller quantity of labour produce a greater quantity of work.” 11 Apart from natural conditions, such as fertility of the soil, &c., and...

There it is. Money to the wealthy begets labor. Karl Marx wrote the White Supremacist economy and that translates well into the Republican economic ideology. "The Trickle Down Economy."

Where is a union when one needs one? By the way, the AFL-CIO resigned from the President's council along with some very distinguished CEOs. Walmart wimped out and only made a news statement.


The Working Class Republican (click here) Henry Olsen talked about his book The Working Class Republican: Ronald Reagan and the Return of Blue-Collar Conservatism, in which he argues that Ronald Reagan not only considered himself a successor to FDR’s New Deal policy but was more progressive than President Roosevelt. In his book, he further contends that Republicans need to reconnect with Reagan’s vision of the New Deal in order to stay relevant.
