Can Rosario Dawson perform a 2nd Miracle on Cory Booker?
*Cory Booker by Nancy Ohanian* *-by Emorej* The 1st miracle of the 2016 Bernie-supporting (& Stein-voting) Rosario Dawson has been to enable Cory Booker to sound sincere, in saying: "I’m very lucky to be in a relationship with someone who is just so incredibly special, but more importantly has taught me so much in a very short period of time… an incredible human being… She really has this nurturing spirit.” A 2nd miracle would be for Rosario (39) to teach Booker (49) the following: *1.* Booker’s entry into the 2020 Presidential campaign was exceptionally stupid. *2.* Much worse... more »

*War Is Boring* *Security, Asia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Some nearly forgotten history. Japan has gone down in popular memory as the original victim of weapons of mass destruction, after the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. But it was *China* that was the real first victim of WMDs in World War II—and the perpetrator was Japan itself. Tokyo’s biological weapons killed hundreds of thousands of Chinese. And their murders still matter today. It’s true that other nations—including Germany, America and Britain—maintained their own chemical and bio... more »

*Nick Paton Walsh, CNN*:* A US citizen wants to overthrow a US-backed government in Libya. Here's why* After several days of aggressive military advances, the spotlight is on Libya once again. For a long time it's been both the most strategically relevant yet most overlooked country in the Mediterranean. Now, some decisive maneuvers by a renegade general could pierce, or further complicate, the cloud of chaos that has descended on Libya since the 2011 civil war.

Leishmaniosis: Dog To Dog Transmission Without Biting Reported
*Canine leishmaniosis* is a potentially fatal infection caused by the parasite Leishmania infantum, carried by the female sand fly and transmitted in its bite.

That's rare, and in the UK cases to-date have only been associated with blood transfusion, breeding programs, or overseas travel but a 3 year old neutered male shih tzu cross, which had been with its owner since a puppy and had none of the known risk factors for infection, w... more »

Okay, I give up. I just don’t care if there is a treasure on Oak Island or not, but I suspect there is not.

BIDEN IS NOW SOWING DIVISION AMONG DEMOCRATS
Joe Biden is sorry not sorry: Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Friday twice jokingly referred to complaints from several women that he had made them uncomfortable with his physical contact, and then offered a convoluted apology about their concerns and his behavior. “I’m sorry I didn’t understand more,” he told reporters about his hugs and kisses to women over the years. “I’m not sorry for any of my intentions. I’m not sorry for anything that I have ever done. I’ve never been disrespectful intentionally to a man or a woman.” [He spoke] at an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers co... more »

Barr Will Never Release Anything Showing Trump Is Guilty In The Putin-Gate Scandal
Señor Trumpanzee was throwing his bananas and toys around the White House Thursday morning screaming like a madman. Finally his keeper gave him back his cell and he calmed down enough to direct his rage at the *New York Times*, Bob Mueller and the Democrats. It was inevitable that eventually it would start leaking out that the Mueller Report very much does let the country know just how criminal and complicit he has always been. And that *The Times* tweeted right back in his face, may have caused him to throw his phone at a wall and break it. Who knows... all we do know for sure... more »

White Privilege: Not Just for Deplorable Flyover Americans
From the perspective of a college admissions person, here’s a detailed look at the recently-revealed college admissions scandal. You know, the one where wealthy white parents paid an “intermediary” to get their kids admitted with bogus SAT scores, as future members of the school’s rowing squad or water polo team. The parents who believe in “affirmative action” so long as it meets their elite school fantasies first. This story, while pathetic, is revelatory in some ways: Here we see determinedly-leftist / progressive millionaire parents (many of whom made their piles via crony cap... more »

Raining out Radionuclides after Chernobyl (and Fukushima)?
I mentioned in a previous post that I'm enamored with Kate Brown's Manual for Survival: A Chernobyl Guide to the Future (post here).
