What Happened is the title of Hillary Clinton’s Biography/Memoir of the 2016 Presidential Campaign. Excerpts of Secretary Clinton’s book are critical of Bernie Sanders labeling him a “disruptor” and how she was eager to debate Bernie during the Primaries. Tim Black addressed the Hillary Clinton book and how it needlessly further stirs the pot on the Left and minimizes how Secretary Clinton loss the Election to Donald Trump.
Peter Daou worked for Clinton and just made a new social media platform called Verrit.com with the tagline, ‘media for the 65.8 million,’ meaning it’s a social media platform for Clinton supporters. Clinton tweeted her support for this divisive site, and the site immediately suffered a massive DDoS attack.
A collection of wonderful Skagen paintings.The Skagen painters captured the beautiful nature, shimmering colours and special Nordic Skagen light in beautiful and romantic paintings that often showed ordinary people, such as fishermen, going about their daily tasks.
The Skagen paintings are forever part of the soul of Skagen. They were painted with much love for the people and nature in Skagen, which gives them a special beauty and character all their own.
The music with much Nordic romanticism was composed by Lars-Erik Larsson:
God in Disguise, The Disguised God, Förklädd Gud Op. 24: Prelude
Folk Song Night, Folkvisenätter, for string orchestra
In a new episode of “Watch the Hawks,” Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges sits down with Tyrel Ventura and Tabetha Wallace to discuss violence between the “alt-right” and anti-fascist (“antifa”) movements. Hedges also responds to criticism of his recent Truthdig article comparing the two groups.
“It’s my job as a writer to, as stringently as I can, write what I see as the truth,” Hedges says. “What we’re encountering here in the United States is more akin to revolution, and revolutions are always fundamentally nonviolent.”
Hedges discusses his experience witnessing violence in war-torn countries, noting that while “nobody was sitting around in a basement arguing about pacifism,” the “poison of violence” still affects those who must resort to it to defend themselves.
“There is no moral equivalency between these right-wing, white nativist groups and antifa, and I was very clear about that in my column,” Hedges notes. “But I think when they [antifa] carry out these tactics, they actually squander their moral authority, because they have moral authority, and they play into the hands of [the] Trump administration.”Tyrel Ventura, and Tabetha Wallace
Fight for the Future, an organization fighting for net neutrality, placed billboards across the country that put anti-net neutrality politicians on blast, telling constituents to call and ask them why they’re shilling for Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T. It’s a great exercise in accountability, and important in the fight to protect net neutrality.
