‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ Is Authentic Voice of Populism

‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ Is Authentic Voice of PopulismAP
Oliver Anthony’s beautiful, angry song about the people who run roughshod over ordinary Americans and seek to control their lives is the clearest expression of populism since Donald Trump used his own voice to reshape the Republican Party.
Although the title refers to “rich men” and makes a great rhyme, it is also a screed against control by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, who live in Washington and its wealthy Northern Virginia and Maryland suburbs. “They all just want to have total control.” It is a powerful hymn to the forgotten, put-upon working man, sung with a full-throated, gravelly voice and accompanied solely by Anthony’s acoustic, resonator guitar.
The lyrics are as moving and authentic as Anthony’s voice. There’s a reason his song has become the most downloaded one on the Internet.
Whatever you think about populism, left or right, the lyrics are worth paying attention to. In those three minutes, you’ll learn more about the anti-Washington grievances than in hours of reading erudite analysis by journalists who visited flyover country from their homes in Georgetown, Cambridge, and newly fashionable Brooklyn.

THIS IS BULLSHIT
Judge sides with activists in world-first climate change trial:
State of Montana violated kids' rights by ignoring global warming, court rules
▶ Youths claimed Montana violated their human rights to a healthful environment
▶ The group did not seek a payout but is asking for better climate legislation
A judge has ruled in favor of youths who claimed Montana's use of fossil fuels contributed to the climate crisis and harmed their health.
The 'monumental decision' was based on the state's policy in evaluating requests for fossil fuel permits - which does not allow agencies to assess the effects of greenhouse gas emissions - was found unconstitutional.
The youths, aged five to 22, did not seek a payout following a win but wanted defendants to 'bring the state energy system into constitutional compliance.'
Experts said the plaintiffs had Montana's constitution on their side, which likely helped with the ruling.
Article Nine reads: 'The state and each person shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations.'
The trial convened in June, and plaintiffs spent five days sharing stories about injuries they claimed came from climate change and how their homes have been negatively impacted.
District Court Judge Kathy Seeley wrote in the ruling that 'Montana's emissions and climate change have been proven to be a substantial factor in causing climate impacts to Montana's environment and harm and injury' to the youth.
Now the ruling is in the hands of the state Legislature, which has to determine how to bring the policy into compliance.
That leaves slim chances for immediate change in a fossil fuel-friendly state where Republicans dominate the statehouse.
Montana has the nation's largest recoverable coal reserves - over 74 billion tons - nearly one-third of the US total, according to MBMG Coal Program.
The state also ranks sixth in coal production, with about 30 million tons produced annually from 6 mines. …

China's military claims to have new laser weapon that fires 'indefinitely' without losing power or overheating
China's military claims to have new laser weapon that fires 'indefinitely' without losing
China may have just changed the face of war with a new cooling system that lets lasers (stock) fire indefinitely and with more precision by pumping gas into the weapon to remove excessive heat. The US military has long been working to fit lasers on drones and missiles but has yet to overcome the cooling problem China claimed to fix.

EXCLUSIVE — Sean Spicer Launches Show Offering Insider Insight on the Race to the White House
Sean Spicer is launching a new show — The Sean Spicer Show — ahead of the primaries and general election, where he plans to share views “inside the race for the nomination like no one else can.”
The Sean Spicer Show will debut August 21, and the first episode will take place at the location of the first Republican primary debate, two days prior to the highly anticipated event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“There is a huge election coming up. And man, is it going to be wild!” Spicer said in a promo for the new show, expressing confidence that Republicans can “hold the House, take back the Senate, and recapture the White House” moving forward.
“But the left has total control of corporate media. The left-wing talking points are out, and media, man, are they falling in line,” Spicer lamented, later emphasizing that “they will circle the wagons to protect themselves.”
“We need to know the rules of the game, and that’s why I’m here. I’ve spent decades in public service and the media. I know how the system works and how to use it,” he said, making a promise to his viewers.
“I will let you in on everything I know, and I’m talking every single trick in the book. I’m going to give you a front row seat free of charge to the debates, the conventions, the primaries and caucuses, and take you inside the race for the nomination like no one else can,” Spicer said.
“Welcome to The Sean Spicer Show. We can fix our institutions. Our side can come out on top, and we can repair the damage that’s been done to our country before it’s too late,” Spicer concluded. …
