Business Insider: America's growing debt is threatening national security

The federal debt is projected to climb to 131 percent of the nation's GDP over the next 25 years and that “impairs our ability to lead,” retired Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday during the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s 2016 Fiscal Summit in Washington. (The Fiscal Times owned and funded by Peter G. Peterson.) 

The group – whose members includes former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger and former Defense Secretaries Robert Gates and Leon Panetta – issued a statement on Tuesday calling for “fiscal security” and suggesting a series of policy fixes to rein in the debt.

Good luck with that. Neither of the two majors are interested in cutting spending, or the debt.

You could vote Libertarian? Nah, that would be wasting your vote. It is much better to waste your country...

And if you still think the Republicans are fiscally conservative:

The Daily Signal: Senate Appropriations Bill Spends More Than Obama Requested

The U.S. Senate’s first spending bill of 2016 allocates $261 million more than President Barack Obama requested and lacks significant conservative amendments, but it still sailed to passage Thursday in the Republican-led chamber. 

An overwhelming number of senators on both sides of the aisle approved the energy and water development appropriations bill, by a vote of 90-8. Conservatives had objected to the higher spending levels and lack of policy riders in the weeks leading up to the vote.

What conservatives? Only 8 people voted against it. The two that missed the vote were Barbara Boxer and Bernie Sanders, which tells you those 8 were the only conservatives there.

Can we finally end this notion of "Republicans are conservative"?

This kind of comparison is like, "Hitler doesn't look so bad when you compare him to Benito Mussolini..."

The Guardian: Saudi officials were 'supporting' 9/11 hijackers, commission member says

A former Republican member of the 9/11 commission, breaking dramatically with the commission’s leaders, said Wednesday he believes there was clear evidence that Saudi government employees were part of a support network for the 9/11 hijackers and that the Obama administration should move quickly to declassify a long-secret congressional report on Saudi ties to the 2001 terrorist attack. 

The comments by John F Lehman, an investment banker in New York who was Navy secretary in the Reagan administration, signal the first serious public split among the 10 commissioners since they issued a 2004 final report that was largely read as an exoneration of Saudi Arabia, which was home to 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11.

If there is even an inkling of an idea that the Saudis were behind 9/11, why aren't we looking into it?

Because the Saudis are one of our only allies in the Middle East, and arguably the most powerful one. As long as we are militarily involved in the Middle East, we need allies there.

Now if we were to finally come to our senses and realize we can't win any kind of war in the Middle East, and pull our troops out, maybe then we could treat the Saudis like the criminals they are.

Time: He’s an Atheist. A Satanist. And He Wants Your Vote

Steve Hill in many ways is a typical candidate running for elected office in California. He’s a former U.S. Marine looking to reform public schools, reduce the state’s mass incarceration rates, and create jobs. But a couple things are holding him back: He’s an avowed atheist and Satanic Temple organizer. 

Hill is a Democrat running for the state Senate in California’s 21st district, and probably the only candidate in the country who embraces both atheism and the tenets of modern-day Satanism.

Considering California has been going to Hell for decades, it's only appropriate they get proper representation.
