About that Puerto Rican hurricane death toll . . .
I can't help but agree with President Trump when he cast aspersions on the newly increased death toll attributed to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico last year. In a tweet, Trump said: “3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000.” * . . .* That number was produced by public health experts at George Washington University in Washington in a report commis... more »

Japan Is Holding Wild Dolphins Hostage For the 2020 Olympics
In this latest case of senseless dolphin cruelty, Japan held a “pre-Olympics test event” in which live dolphins were forced to perform tricks for a crowd.

During the nation’s infamously inhumane annual “tradition” known as the Taiji dolphin hunt, these poor creatures were chased into a cove by hunters so that they couldn’t escape capture.

Reader Ed C. e-mailed me the link to this video clip after reading my previous post. Thanks, Ed! It depicts a hazardous helicopter rescue in Washington state in 2010.

They had the scene coordinates, but this was a very rugged and forested area. They had been told that the patient was “near the bridge.” However, they were quite surprised to learn that she was actually under the bridge. Flying under any bridge can be a dodgy ... more »

Crisis in the Archives
Critics of the executive branch’s information control practices tend to focus on the here and now.

They worry about the growing use of black box algorithms, criminal leak investigations, and secret waivers for former lobbyists turned political appointees. All of these critiques raise im... more »

Why China's Stealth Fighter Can't Touch an F-22 or F-35 in Battle
