NBC News reporter and political director Chuck Todd recently railed against “misinformation” and singled out President Trump and “the right” for having an “incentive structure” to spread it. Todd, who according to NBC, “is responsible for all aspects of the network’s political coverage,” also stated that Republicans criticize the media for “sport” and “the loudest chanters of fake news” are “the ones who, under a lie detector, would probably take our word over any word they’ve heard from the other side on whether something was poisonous or not.” Speaking directly to those unsupported claims, a scientific survey commissioned by Just Facts shows that many people are indeed misinformed – but contrary to Todd – this is a bipartisan affair. In fact, the survey found that the most commonly believed misinformation accords with left-leaning narratives spread by the press, and Democrat voters are more likely to accept these falsehoods than Trump voters. Furthermore, sizable portions of Trump voters have swallowed some of these media-promoted liberal fictions, as well as some conservative ones.

At Counterpunch, Michael Hudson has penned an important article that outlines the important connections between US foreign policy, oil, and the US dollar. In short, US foreign policy is geared very much toward controlling oil resources as part of a larger strategy to prop up the US dollar.

"Trump’s red line to Iran didn’t have to do with our values, or shipping lanes, or any humanitarian impulse. It reflected the most basic imperative of a nation protecting its own: Don’t harm Americans. When a rocket attack by an Iranian-supported militia killed an American contractor and injured other Americans at a base in Iraq, Trump’s response was also characteristically Jacksonian: a stunning, bolt-out-of-the-blue droning of an enemy commander who was thought to be safely out of bounds, designed to create the maximum deterrent bang for the buck. If this was incredibly bold, it was also quite limited. After the Iranians retaliated in a deliberately circumscribed fashion, Trump seemed happy to pocket what he achieved and gave a White House speech reverting to his policy of seeking a better Iran deal through pressure on the regime.»

Australian wildfires were caused by humans, not climate change
Alarmists have been quick to blame climate change for the recent, horrific fires in Australia and California. Although human actions do bear a large share of the blame for the scale of this ongoing tragedy, the cause is primarily bad management policies, not dreaded climate change. Governmental decisions, made under pressure from environmental groups, have made what would normally be big fires into hellish conflagrations.

National Park Replaces Signs Predicting Disappearance of Glaciers By 2020
The Glacier National Park is set to replace signs predicting glaciers would disappear by 2020 due to climate change. The glaciers remain. The signs were posted in the Montana park a decade ago because, at the time, climate change forecasts predicted the glaciers would be completely melted by 2020. ... The new signs will still warn visitors that the glaciers are disappearing but won't offer an expected deadline this time.
