My Church is a Farmer's Market -- And Vice Versa By Jim Hightower

21 hours ago | democraticunderground.com | Jim Hightower

My Church is a Farmer's Market -- And Vice Versa By Jim Hightower Well, habemus papam. Welcome, Pope Leo! Bless him ... and us. I hope no one thinks I am blasphemous, but I go to a church nearly every Saturday that is not denominational. It isn't held in any sort of ornate cathedral, temple or mosque. It's a plain wooden, open-air shed with a metal roof and a loose brick floor but it's filled with goodness, joy and a diversity of devotees who share in the bounty of nature.

Yes, Trump and his enablers really do want to kill Social Security

1 day ago | alternet.org | Jim Hightower

As Trump & Co. hurl horror after horror at us from the murky darkness of their extremely wasteful "war on government waste," I think of Lily Tomlin, who said years ago: "No matter how cynical you get, it's almost impossible to keep up." But no need to swat frantically at their every assault. Their Blitzkrieg against everything at once is an intentional ploy to divide us into small, separate scrambles to save this and that, rather than rallying a unified, furious opposition to them.
My Church Is a Farmer’s Market… And Vice Versa

1 day ago | jimhightower.substack.com | Jim Hightower

Well, habemus papam—welcome, Pope Leo! Bless him… and us. I hope no one thinks me blasphemous, but I go to a church nearly every Saturday that is not denominational, nor is it held in any sort of ornate cathedral, temple or mosque. It’s a plain wooden, open-air shed with a metal roof and a loose brick floor—but it’s filled with goodness, joy and a diversity of devotees who share in the bounty of nature.
Should the farm bill serve need or greed?

4 days ago | newsexaminer.com | Jim Hightower

The federal budget is not only about money, but fundamentally about our country’s morality – our commitment to fairness, equality and unity. Which brings me to, of all things, our nation’s Farm Bill. This sprawling piece of legislation, updated every five years, is intended to combine the interests of farmers with consumers, production with conservation, grassroots cultures with corporate systems, etc. It’s not easy. In fact, downright messy.

Amazing Discovery: Some Washington Lobbyists and Lawmakers Have Sludge For Brains

6 days ago | jimhightower.substack.com | Jim Hightower

Like locusts swarming a wheat field, corporate lobbyists are all over our nation’s capital this spring, trying to get special favors, handouts, and insider deals from the White House huckster-in-chief. It’s a corrupt-money sleazefest with lobbyists blatantly offering high-dollar political donations in exchange for presidential and congressional favoritism. Hundreds of these corporate requests are so selfish and unfair that it’s been hard to single out any one as exceptionally sleazy. Until now.
