*The Hill:* *Emirati ambassador to Trump: Remove US airbase from Qatar* The United Arab Emirates' ambassador to the United States wants President Trump to use the U.S. airbase in Qatar as a political tool to press the country's government on supporting extremism. “The air base is a very nice insurance policy against any additional pressure,” Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba said Tuesday. “Maybe someone in Congress should have a hearing and just say, you know, ’Should we consider moving it?’” Last week, a Saudi-led coalition of Arab nations cut off all diplomatic ties with Qatar and ac... more »

Trump, The Most Corrupt Occupant Of The White House In History, Forces Each Of His Cabinet Members To Publicly Lick His Fat Ass

Economic and Cyber Pirates
*== Pirates among us! ==* In “Piracy on the Cyber Seas,” in The American Interest, Adam Garfinkle compares the wave of hacker exploits and attacks to previous ages of physical piracy.

For occasional stressors, cortisol can provide a burst of benefits like increased energy, heightened reflexes and a higher threshold for pain. However, when stress is chronic, as it often is in modern society, cortisol levels can remain unnaturally high and lead to damaging effects, which include: • P... more »
