Because I try to keep up with the ongoing RussiaGate ruse, I follow on Twitter many of the major peddlers of this nonsense. Many of them casually toss around accusations of disloyalty by Trump and his supporters and, as I noted in my last article, even treason. They frequently invoke country, the flag, the Constitution, etc. and suggest that Trump cares nothing about any of these and is instead a pawn of Vladimir Putin. Of course this is all absurd on its face.
First of all, authentic liberals, of which there appear to be very few remaining, should see the peril of this line of argument. Anyone who disagrees with a certain political position is automatically disloyal and either a willing accomplice or a dupe of the enemy. It is also highly ironic that the nation that supposedly commands their loyalty instead of the U.S. is Russia, just now the shoe is on the other foot. It's now leftists, Democrats, and other anti-Trumpers who are making the accusations of disloyalty against conservatives, Republicans, and Trump supporters. Have the anti-Trumpers forgotten their relatively recent Cold War history? They are engaging in modern day Red Baiting and encouraging a new Red Scare, something they used to decry.
Secondly, during the campaign before the Russia charge became useful to the opposition, Trump was being accused by his detractors of exactly the opposite. According to his critics, Trump was too much of a chauvinistic nationalist, too wedded to old ideas about the nation state, and lacked sufficient understanding and appreciation of the modern globalized economy. His opposition to open borders, opposition to international trade deals, embrace of America first foreign policy rhetoric, and his skepticism about our entangling alliances such as NATO proved he was a throwback nationalist who was insufficiently internationalist in orientation. How, pray tell, can one be both a too loyal hyper-nationalist for invoking "America first" and rejecting trade deals, yet at the same time the disloyal pawn of a foreign nation? Trump's opponents can't even keep their stories straight.
The primary institutional opposition to Trump has always come from defenders of the "liberal international order," whether left or "right." Trump rightly frightens these internationalists because his general mindset and his positions on trade, immigration and foreign policy go against the reigning globalist neoliberal consensus, and the prime peddlers of the RussiaGate farce continue to be motivated by their support for stand pat globalism.
So perhaps people whose primary loyalty is to the "liberal international order" rather than their own country, and who see their country more as the enforcer of said order rather than an actual place and an actual people, should cool it with the accusations of disloyalty, treason, lack of patriotism, etc. Perhaps people who view national borders as administrative impediments to improved efficiency should not be questioning the loyalty of a President who unabashedly loves his country and the red-blooded Americans who support him in large part because of his Make America Great Again agenda.

red cabbage, mango and coconut slaw
- 500g red cabbage, shredded
- 2 green mangoes, peeled and shredded+
- 2 eschalots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shaved fresh coconut, toasted++
- 2 cups Thai basil leaves
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
coconut dressing
- ⅓ cup (80ml) coconut water
- ¼ cup (65g) shaved palm sugar
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- To make the coconut dressing, place the coconut water, sugar, fish sauce and lime juice in a bowl and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Place the cabbage, mango, eschalots and dressing in a bowl and toss to combine. Transfer the slaw to a serving dish and top with the shaved coconut, basil and green onion to serve. Serves 4
+ To shred green mango, use a julienne peeler. This looks like a conventional vegetable peeler, but has little 'teeth' that help create strips of vegetables.
++ Prepare fresh coconut by inserting a metal skewer in the indented eye to drain the juice. Cook in a 200°C oven for 10 minutes to soften the shell, then carefully crack with a hammer. Gently prise the flesh from the shell using a butter knife and shave with a vegetable peeler.

Thomas Jefferson knew because he-himself studied the previous failed Attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, His laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future:
John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in The White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe."
Thomas Jefferson
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
Thomas Jefferson
"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."
Thomas Jefferson
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the Government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
Thomas Jefferson
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
Thomas Jefferson
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
Thomas Jefferson
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in Government."
Thomas Jefferson
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson
"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
When John Adams died his last words were "at least Jefferson lives" not knowing that Thomas Jefferson had died earlier that very day.
Thomas Jefferson was a widower so asked Dolley Madison to be his first lady which she then was for 8 years followed by 8 years for her husband. So, Dolley Madison was first lady for 16 years.

A new report released by the anti-poverty group Oxfam is filled with staggering statistics that make clear the depth of the inequality problem.
The world should work to end extreme wealth by 2025 and reduce the massive inequality that has skyrocketed over the past twenty years, the anti-poverty group Oxfam states in a new report [pdf].
While discourse on inequality has grown more prominent in recent years thanks to Occupy Wall Street and major institutions highlighting the problem of extreme inequality, the focus has largely been on only one-half of the problem: ending extreme poverty. Though Oxfam praises the efforts to eradicate extreme poverty, the group urges people to "demonstrate that we are also tackling inequality- and that means looking at not just the poorest but the richest."
The report is filled with staggering statistics that make clear the depth of the inequality problem. For instance, the US has seen "the share of national income going to the top 1%... doubled since 1980 from 10 to 20%. For the top 0.01% it has quadrupled to levels never seen before." And globally, the situation is not any better: "Globally the incomes of the top 1% have increased 60% in twenty years. The growth in income for the 0.01% has been even greater." And the financial crisis has only accelerated the process of the 1% gaining even greater wealth.
Why is this a problem? Oxfam lays out a number of reasons. Extreme inequality is economically inefficient, as "they limit the overall amount of growth, and...that growth fails to benefit the majority." Inequality is also politically corrosive, as massive amounts of wealth means massive amount of political power, which in turn skews the playing field against people with less means. And that process of skewing the political playing field towards the rich increases resentment and could lead to unrest.
Oxfam also notes that massive inequality leads to environmental destruction. "Those in the 1% have been estimated to use as much as 10,000 times more carbon than the average US citizen," the report states. "Increasing scarcity of resources like land and water mean that assets being monopolized by the few cannot continue if we are to have a sustainable future." And lastly, Oxfam argues that inequality is unethical.
To solve the problem, the report suggests a number of things: decent work for decent wages; free public services; access to quality education; and regulation and taxation.
"We cannot afford to have a world where inequality continues to grow in the majority of countries. In a world of increasingly scarce resources, reducing inequality is more important than ever. It needs to be reduced and quickly," says Oxfam.

Hey everyone! Everything is still super busy in my life, I'm moving house next Friday and I haven't even starting packing yet because I've barely stopped! And I've stupidly agreed to host people from work tomorrow evening at my house... why did I do that?! So as I'm sure you can imagine things are a bit hectic and blogging is having to take a bit of a backseat, but today I have a treat for you with this review of the gorgeous November Meebox, this month's theme is 'All That Glitters'* so of course it's absolutely chocka block full with glitter. This month's box contains:
Little Ondine - Rumba*: £11
A England - Crown of Thistles*: £11
Floss Gloss - Dime Piece*: £7.50
MeeBox Holo paper*: £2
Naio Nails Glitter pot*: £1.10
So it has a total value of £32.60 but it costs just £20, you can't really go wrong with that!
I was trying to debate what I could do to use all the products in the box, in the end I realised I would have to sacrifice at least one product and that had to be Little Ondine - Rumba, but I used the rest of the products in the box to create this fun glitter heart design.
Here's a quick shot of all the gorgeous products in the box!
To get your hands on next month's 'Wizard of Oz' themed Meebox, worth a staggering £60.. for just £20, you can visit their website, but be quick, it's going to go fast!

A while ago, I came across a unique registration form built by Jeremy Keith for his audio sharing site, Huffduffer. Though it asked people the same questions found in typical sign-up forms, the Huffduffer registration form did so in a narrative format. It presented input fields to people as blanks within sentences (Mad Libs-style, if you will).
Jeremy built the form to work as you'd expect. You can tab between the "blanks" just the way you tab between standard Web form input fields. You can click on any "blank" to start entering text. The password "blank" masks any characters you enter just like a standard password input, and the whole form manages errors if you answer any questions incorrectly. In other words, it works like a standard Web form but it looks quite different. The presentation is inviting and fun, which is quite unlike a standard Web form.
After seeing the Huffduffer form in action, I was curious how it would perform against a traditional form. Would people be more inclined to complete it because of the narrative format? Or would the unfamiliar presentation format confuse people? Thanks to Ron Kurti and the team at Vast.com, I now have some early answers.
Ron and his team ran some A/B testing online that compared a traditional Web form layout with a narrative "Mad Libs" format. In Vast.com's testing, Mad Libs style forms increased conversion across the board by 25-40%. You can see a before and after view of the Contact Dealer forms where they ran these tests below.
Most of the input fields have stayed the same but the "comments" text area has been replaced by a "personalize this message link" and the phone number set of three input fields has been replaced a single flexible input. While it's possible these adjustments also contributed to the increase, it's unlikely they were solely responsible for it. As a result, the mad libs layout likely had an impact as well.
Examples of this form are live at Vast, Kelley Blue Book, and several more sites. Ron and the Vast.com team are rolling out new versions of these forms over the coming weeks and will continue to test improvements. Hopefully, they'll be able to share their results again.

WASHINGTON — During today's testimony before a joint hearing of the Senate and House Veterans Affairs Committees, the national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. (VFW) pledged the organization will not let America's veterans be forgotten by Congress or the Administration.
Today's testimony comes just days after the announcement of mandatory Department of Defense budget cuts brought on by sequestration.
"The VFW is deeply concerned about the impact sequestration will have on the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense budgets. Maybe not this year, but in future budget submissions, and how that reduction in programs and services will impact our troops returning from Afghanistan, our veterans, and their families," VFW National Commander John E. Hamilton, a Vietnam War Marine Corps rifleman and triple Purple Heart recipient, told the committees.
Since September 11, 2001, more than 50,000 service members have been wounded in action. Furthermore, data shows that more than half of all Iraq and Afghanistan veterans treated by the VA have suffered some sort of mental trauma, a fourth for PTSD. Other research suggests those numbers reach far higher.
"These numbers are staggering, and our efforts to provide the best possible mental health care for our newest war veterans must also include those who faithfully served in the past," said Hamilton.
The military suicide epidemic continues to be of great concern to the VFW. The most recent VA report on the subject indicates veteran suicides occur at a rate of 22 per day.
"The VFW feels every loss and we grieve with every family. Suicide is a nationwide epidemic, but a military or veteran's suicide is especially painful because of the resources and outreach VA and DOD have committed to awareness and prevention programs," noted Hamilton.
Hamilton also spoke of VFW's concern for how sequestration will impact the progress of VA facility improvements and research geared to address the specific needs of women veterans.
The VFW national commander expressed the need for the VA to ensure that women veterans' health programs are continually improved so that access and quality of care, along with patient privacy and safety, are equal to their extraordinary roles that expose them to the risk of combat, serious injury and death.
Furthermore, he urged Congress to pass S. 294, a recently proposed bill aimed to improve the disability compensation evaluation procedure for veterans who have been victims of military sexual misconduct.
As follow up to VFW's recent letter to Secretary Hagel on the subject, VFW took the opportunity to impress upon the Committee its stance on the current placement of the new Distinguished Warfare Medal and its support for H.R. 833. "Medals earned in combat have to mean more than new medals awarded in the rear," stated Hamilton.
Today's congressional testimony caps the annual VFW Legislative Conference during which approximately 600 VFW leaders from around the country visit their elected officials in Washington to discuss the issues important to veterans, service members and their families.
Other noteworthy events which took place during the Conference include:
Senator Patty Murray received the VFW Congressional Award in recognition of her outstanding service to our nation and for her support and dedication to service members, veterans and their families.
VFW hosted dinner at the National Press Club for 60 Wounded Warriors and care givers from Walter Reed Medical Center along with their families.
VFW named Danielle Hayes from San Francisco, Calif., the first-place winner of the annual Voice of Democracy scholarship competition and winner of a $30,000 scholarship. Danielle's patriotic-themed essay received the highest marks out of 40,000 participating high school students.
Mariessa McKenna from Bowie, Md., was named the first-place winner of VFW's Patriot's Pen competition winning her a $5,000 award.
USAA's Rick Perkins, Director, Affinity Management, and Chris Figueroa, Senior Account Manager, presented VFW with a donation, reinforcing their commitment to the VFW's nationwide support programs for military and veterans.

After winning an election on a platform of pragmatism and compromise, Robert "Heshy" Bucholz, 39, is set to become what many believe will be the first Whig to hold elected office in Philadelphia since before the Civil War. A member of the upstart Modern Whig Party, Bucholz won the post of judge of elections in one of the city's wards.
Bucholz is a 39-year-old software engineer who beat his Democratic opponent, 36 votes to 24, after launching a campaign that saw the father of four going door to door seeking voters' support, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The newspaper says Bucholz had been a registered independent until a few years ago — but the gridlock between America's two largest political parties led him to become a Whig. And now he's been elected as a member of a party that saw its last mayor of Philadelphia in the 1850s.
"One of the first tenets of the party is, it stands for pragmatism, working through the issues instead of staring each other down and refusing to deal with them," Bucholz tells The Inquirer.
As you might expect, the Modern Whig Party has a token animal as its symbol. It's not an elephant or a donkey; it's an owl perched on a branch. The centrist group was founded in 2007 as a response to the political stalemate that has existed in much of American politics in recent years.
"The Modern Whigs have about 30,000 members nationwide, Chairman Andrew Evans said," reports NBC 10 TV in Philadelphia. "Bucholz and J. Brendan Galligan, who serves on the school board in Westfield, N.J., are the only two currently holding elected positions, he said."
The group's website includes a quote from Abraham Lincoln, in which he states, "I have always been an old-line Henry Clay Whig."

- NAIP Imagery [Wisconsin] {2006}
- Description:
- This collection contains imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). NAIP acquires digital ortho imagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the continental U.S. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to enable availability of ortho imagery within one year of acquisition. NAIP provides two main products: 1 meter ground sample distance (GSD) ortho imagery rectified to a horizontal accuracy of within +/- 3 meters of reference digital ortho quarter quads (DOQQ's) from the National Digital Ortho Program (NDOP); and, 2 meter GSD ortho imagery rectified to within +/- 10 meters of reference DOQQs. The tiling format of NAIP imagery is based on a 3.75'x 3.75' quarter quadrangle with a 300 meter buffer on all four sides. NAIP quarter quads are formatted to the UTM coordinate system using NAD83. NAIP imagery may contain as much as 10% cloud cover per tile. This file was generated by compressing NAIP quarter quadrangle tiles that cover a county. MrSID (MG3) compression, with mosaic option, was used. Target values for the compression ratio are (15:1) and compression levels(9) are used.Wisconsin 2006 NAIP imagery is 2 meter GSD orthoimagery.
