    Andrew Breitbart’s Hate Machine

    The following is a hilarious excerpt from Bob Woordward’s recent book, Fear: Trump in the White House: In August 2010, six years before taking over Donald Trump’s winning presidential campaign, Steve Bannon, then 57 and a produced of right-wing political films, answered his phone. “What are you doing tomorrow?” asked David Bossie, a long-time House Republican investigator and conservative activist who had chased Bill and Hillary Clinton scandals for almost two decades. “Dude,

    The TIMEs They-are-a-Changin’

    To be fair to TIME Magazine, they, while putting out Aatish Taseer’s ‘Divider-in-Chief’ cover article on Narendra Modi, did also put out Ian Bremmer’s counter opinion as to why Modi will be the best option for India’s economic reform and progress in the same issue, which was released two weeks prior to the election results announcement.

    The War Against Truth

    The official newspaper of the Communist Part of the Soviet Union was called Pravda (translated to ‘truth’) because it engaged in disseminating anything but the truth. But what is more interesting is how there are already pre-existing different types of truths in the Russian language itself – Pravda being man’s truth, Istina being God’s truth and Nepravda being untruth. This indicates two things: firstly that just like a language must be spoken within the strictures of the alp
