Ignorance Breeds Trumps!: Ignorance Is Strength! The Orwellian Nightmare of American Public Schools!
George Orwell once wrote that English public schools ingrained a sense of snobbery (or haughty arrogance) and not much else. He also pointed out that national education didn’t properly teach its student charges to be freethinkers and dissenters. Although the English public school system would be considered private from the American perspective, Orwell’s assessment holds true in America as well, at least for its failure to teach students to think for themselves and to equip them with much more than threadbare literacy and an overconfidence built upon deeply classist ideologies.
Re: Net Worth for Young People Shows Huge Drop in 2025 (I firstwrote this over 20 years ago!):
When I was a union official, I called this system labors’ rush to the bottom! The Graph Below is a Graphic Example of the Decline in Standard of Living of the Working Class, Since the Trade Union Bureaucracy Declared Itself to Be ‘In a (Domestic) Partnership With the Boss’(Class Cooperation)! Through the 1980s and 1990s they even included this ‘partnership’ into their work agreements and the partnership was fully established! Starting in the mid-1980s, This ‘partnership’ gave birth to the one, two, three, three, ect. wage tier system! Selling out the futures of future young workers entering the labor force. And, since the lowest union wage is immediately the highest non-union wage, this wage tier system cut the wages of the entire working class! When I was a union official, I called this system labors rush to the bottom! As in graphically shown in this: Shadow Government Statistics Graph. At the same time, Real Wages have Fallen Since the Wage Price Freeze of 1972 (Shadow Government Statistics): Graph 3 plots the seasonally-adjusted earnings as officially deflated by the BLS (red-line), and as adjusted for the ShadowStats-Alternate CPI Measure, 1990-Base (blue-line). When inflation-depressing methodologies of the 1990s began to kick-in, the artificially-weakened CPI-W (also used in calculating Social Security cost-of-living adjustments) helped to prop up the reported real earnings. Official real earnings today still have not recovered their inflation-adjusted levels of the early-1970s, and, at best, have been in a minimal uptrend for the last two decades (albeit spiked recently by negative headline inflation). Deflated by the ShadowStats (1990-Based) measure, real earnings have been in fairly-regular decline for the last four decades, which is much closer to common experience than the pattern suggested by the CPI-W. See the Public Commentary on Inflation Measurement for further detail. This process has led to a greater productivity and windfall profits for the capitalist, without more value being added to society.

Video: This El Nino Update Just Made The Winter Forecast STRONGEREl Nino is growing a 2nd arm of above average temperatures and this will greatly impact our winter weather forecast. This never happened before. In this video I have the latest tropical updates with the coastal low, Josephine forming along the east coast and what is next. PLUS, our winter weather pattern shift has gotten stronger. We also have a bigger outlook of winter impacts coming this winter 2026-2027
Video: America’s Weather Is About to Flip — Scientists Warn of a HUGE and Unusual Shift!America is facing a dramatic weather roller coaster as freezing temperatures, record-chasing warmth, dangerous coastal waves, and incoming mountain snow could all unfold within the same week. From the Midwest to the East Coast, the forecast points to a series of unusual weather changes that deserve attention. Kansas City and St. Louis could climb from chilly morning temperatures into highs near 80°F, while parts of the northern Plains may experience temperatures 25–30 degrees above normal for late October. Meanwhile, a powerful ridge in the jet stream could push warm air northward, creating a striking contrast between the United States and parts of Canada. But the warming trend is only part of the story. A persistent coastal low near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, could bring dangerous surf, strong winds, coastal flooding concerns, and hazardous rip currents along portions of the Atlantic coast. The Rockies may also see accumulating snow as another storm system develops in the West. In this detailed weather forecast, we explain the jet stream, the temperature swings, coastal storm risks, and what the next several days could mean for your area. We also examine the possibility of another widespread freeze as October ends and November begins. Stay informed, protect vulnerable plants and pets, avoid dangerous surf, and check your local National Weather Service forecast for the latest alerts.
SERCOM turns scientific and technical excellence into services Opening remarks by WMO Secretary-General, Celeste Saulo at the fourth session of the Commission for Weather, Climate, Hydrological, Marine and Related Environmental Services and Applications (SERCOM-4) in Geneva. We meet at a time when extreme weather and a strengthening El Niño make headline news almost every day: record-breaking heat, catastrophic floods, prolonged droughts, rapidly intensifying tropical cyclones, wildfires and dense haze, and marine heatwaves. The past eleven years have been the warmest in the 176-year observational record, and ocean heat content reached a new record high in 2025. People do not experience these events through reports and statistics. They experience them through the loss of loved ones, flooded homes, failed harvests, disrupted supply chains, lack of water, choking air, and threats to their health and safety.
Trump’s Lawlessness Has Historical RootsDonald Trump is heir to a long tradition of presidential misuse of federal powers and personnel against American It would be comforting to think that Donald Trump’s current streak of unlawful acts—his search-seize-deport operations under the Alien Enemies Act, his slew of executive orders targeting law firms, universities, and even individual Americans—are somehow, like the man himself, a type of once-in-a-lifetime political nightmare and aberration. In some key respects, that’s true. No president in the history of the Republic has issued so many facially unconstitutional executive orders or so brazenly defied federal courts, including the Supreme Court. However, labeling Trump as the only chief executive to engage in demonstrably unconstitutional or otherwise unlawful acts would be historically inaccurate. A key difference between those past episodes and Trump’s current activities is that federal courts and Congress have often aided and abetted such outrageous presidential behavior throughout our nation’s history. Many repressive legislative, judicial, or presidential acts have occurred over our country’s 250-year history in the name of “national security.” America’s new constitution was barely a decade old when Congressional Federalists and their party leader, President John Adams, gave us the infamous Alien and Sedition Acts. As is now well known, Trump is using one of those laws, the Alien Enemies Act, to fast-track without due process the deportation of individuals his regime claims are dangerous Latin American gang members or otherwise undesirable illegal migrants,

Inequality in the US is Getting Worse in Ways You Might Not Expect
Inequality in the US is Getting Worse in Ways You Might Not ExpectThe buzzword of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections may be affordability, but growing anger over inequality is behind the sentiment. A Pew Research survey released in October 2026 found that roughly 6 in 10 Americans – including 4 in 10 Republicans – believe there’s too much inequality in the U.S. And a growing share from both major political parties state that the economy needs to be fundamentally rebuilt to address this.
