Employment Falls for the First Time in Seven Years
Employment fell by 33,000 in September, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics establishment survey, the first decline since September of 2010. The drop was due to the effects of the hurricanes in Texas and Florida. This is shown clearly from the loss of 104,700 jobs in restaurants.

Slim Pickings for Charlottesville City Council
Thus far I'm underwhelmed by the candidates seeking to join Charlottesville's City Council this year, as well as, of course, by the current members. In the wake of the fascist rallies, the electoral system does not seem to be responding particularly well.

The Post-Trump "Restoration"
When he was finally gone, nothing less than a thoroughgoing cleansing of the foul-smelling stable was in order. That was "The Restoration" era, years of undoing the great damage his administration had foisted on the country.

Baltic States sacrifice economy on altar of politics
Taking into account the development of economic, political and military situation in the world, there is an urgent need to form a new organization -- International Economic Tribunal to protect the Baltic States from their own governments. The matter is poor economic behavior of the authorities leads the whole nations to the economic crisis. The more so economic mistakes become economic crimes against people and worth even more

The Forgotten Pressmen's Strike [VIDEO]
When The Washington Post pressmen's strike of 1975 isn't being misremembered, it's not being remembered at all. The event has been all but erased from history -- there's not even a Wikipedia entry for it. Yet the effects of the strike are still being felt today.

The True Cost of Meat
I doubt that most people will change their meat diet after reading this. However, one never knows and some may. For a certainty, I believe vegetarians and vegans are a special "breed" if they are drawn to a plant-based diet life style out of compassion for animals.

Is Senator Corker building case for removing Trump via 25th Amendment?
It is clear that many sensible voices in the Republican Party like Bob Corker are starting to emerge. Could it be that they are laying the case, not for a Trump impeachment but an outright removal via the 25th Amendment?

The Republican Plan to Rob America
By a 41-28 margin, Americans know the rich will end up paying less, rather than more. Yet a plurality, 44 percent, thinks the tax cuts will have a "positive impact on the US economy," while only 24 percent think the tax cuts will have a negative impact. The big lie still works.

Corker: virtually all Senate Republicans know Trump is a liability. Impeachment coming?
Because Corker is not running for re-election, he need not fear reprisals in the form of votes against him from the Trump cult -- so he's an ideal Republican to light the fuse for what must be done. He may be on the way out, but his vote is as good as any other senator's for 15 months.

Dismantling White Supremacy
We need to move past allowing white supremacist ideas and theories to have a legitimate place in public debates. They have no place in our society except in textbooks so that future generations understand how destructive they were once upon a time.

Here's something to grouse about: Our Culture of Violence is a Result of Americans (So Far) Not Having to Face Reality
America is the world's most violent and destructive nation both internationally and domestically because its people don't have to confront the consequences of their own endorsement of violence, writes TCBH! journalist DAVE LINDORFF, who had his own epiphany at 14

The Vietnam War Is Not History For Victims Of Agent Orange
Agent Orange/dioxin was an herbicidal chemical weapon manufactured by U.S. chemical companies like Dow and Monsanto and sprayed by the U.S. military from 1961 to 1971. Dioxin is one of the most toxic chemicals known to humankind. Approximately 3 million Vietnamese and thousands of U.S. and allied soldiers were exposed to Agent Orange/dioxin.

Trump and Weinstein
At least 15 women have publicly accused Trump of sexual harassment and assault. Trump and Weinstein are both sexual harassers and predators. But Trump is also president of the United States. That makes him even more dangerous to women.

Trump's threats against North Korea signify real danger of war
The outbreak of war between North Korea and the United States would inevitably involve China, which, in turn, would draw all of Asia, as well as Australia, into the bloody maelstrom. Nor would it be possible for Europe and Latin America, which have their own interests in Asia, to stand aside.

What the Corporate News Industry Won't Ever Tell Its Audience
When the only metric is profit, everything can be explained by profit. And profit doesn't give a damn about morality or democracy or you or me or even the future of our nation or world. It's essentially a sociopathic business model, which works out really well for sociopathic politicians and the sociopathic polluters who own them -- and the media they lavish billions onto.
