■ More News UN Climate Chief Warns Inaction on Emissions Will Deliver 'Inflation on Steroids' 'We Don't Give Up': Climate Groups Resolute as Shell Wins Appeal Against Landmark Ruling Trump Expected to Pick 'Rabid Neocon' Marco Rubio for Secretary of State excerpt:  President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly decided to name Republican Sen. Marco Rubio as his secretary of state, a move that would elevate to the status of top U.S. diplomat one of the most reliable war hawks and interventionists in Congress. Rubio (R-Fla.), whom Trump once attacked as a "little puppet" of the late pro-Israel billionaire Sheldon Adelson, has vocally backed Israel's war on the Gaza Strip, agitated for a military confrontation with Iran, and encouraged a coup in Venezuela. The Florida senator is also a China hardliner, much like Trump's national security adviser pick, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.). The New York Times, which first reported the Rubio selection late Monday, noted that Trump "could still change his mind at the last minute." The expected Rubio pick runs counter to Trump's attempt during the presidential campaign to posture as a "candidate of peace," which is how Vice President-elect JD Vance described Trump in the run-up to last week's election. "Trump's emerging 'national security' team is shaping up to be a kettle of hawkish neocons," wroteDrop Site's Jeremy Scahill, pointing out that Waltz was a "counterterrorism adviser" to Iraq War architect Dick Cheney. Scahill went on to characterize Rubio and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.)—Trump's pick to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations—as "B-list neocon warmongers."

■ Opinion The One-Word Explanation for Trump's Stunning Victory? Corporate media pundits will not tell you, because it remains at the core of their belief system. But neoliberalism is not just an economic doctrine, but a political project that has now ushered us into the abyss of fascism. By C.J. Polychroniou My Fury Is Aimed at the Democratic Consultancy Class Which Runs the Party The Democratic pundits and their allies who control the party from the top will find fault with the voters and their choices, not with the poor decisions they themselves made. By James Zogby Stand With Working People and They Will Stand With You Let's be very clear: the Democrats lost this election because they ignored the justified anger of working class America and became the defenders of a rigged economic and political system. By Bernie Sanders Reclaiming Democracy from Capitalism: Understanding Trump's Resurgence Making sense of Trump's enduring appeal requires examining how market forces have gradually hollowed out democratic promise, creating the conditions for authoritarian alternatives to flourish.

MAGA ARIZONA Prosecution NOT GOING AWAY

 WE have MICHAEL POPOK to provide the legal explanations we never thought we needed....let's stay engaged & informed.

Isn't the greater issue WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED? FOX NEWS = FAKE NEWS LIARS beat the drumbeats of WAR in the Middle East based on LIES & condemned those who spoke out with attacks & lies!

BUSH/CHENEY cost TRILLIONS, failing to raise taxes to fight WARS for the first time in US history, creating a massive DEFICIT that BILL CLINTON & AL GORE had addressed leaving budget surpluses into the future that BUSH/CHENEY squandered.

Trump destroyed the ECONOMY, increased a massive DEFICIT with tax cuts to the WEALTHY....did you hear CRICKETS?

DEMOCRACY IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT! It's important for each of us to remain informed & speak out...not just in a crisis...but to PROTECT DEMOCRACY each & every time.

DISINFORMATION, LIES & RIGHT WING WACKOS convinced poorly educated Americans to vote against their best interests.

You know who else is not going away based on Tuesday's election results -- Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes who declared that the state indictment arising out of the Trump fake elector scheme she obtained from an Arizona grand jury in April is not being dismissed and that at least 5 of the closest to Trump will go to criminal trial for the attempts to steal the election. Popok is @ The Intersection to outline what State AGs still have left up their sleeves to reign in Trump and punish his criminal co-conspirators.
