Biden Finally Has A Message: You Kids, Get Off The Grass!
Biden's issues-free campaign finally has taken a stand. Old man Biden is against marijuana legalization, calling it a "gateway drug." He's the only major candidate who is. According to Pew, 78% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents want to see legalization. Biden is even to the right of Trump on this, although I suppose it plays to whatever base of elderly voters Status Quo Joe caters to. Biden stands against 67% of Americans, who agree that the "use of marijuana should be made legal." In 1989, when a pre-senile Biden was still a sentient human being, Pew found that only... more »

Can Russia's Bunkers Really Save Moscow from Nuclear War?

While this is a very bold claim, Moscow is famous for the massive amount of bunkers it has available for Civil Defense (гражданской обороны) and the military.

The OPCW and Douma: Chemical Weapons Watchdog Accused of Evidence-Tampering by Its Own Inspectors
Claims that President Bashar al-Assad’s forces have used chemical weapons are almost as old as the Syrian civil war itself. They have produced strong reactions, and none more so than in the case of the alleged attack in April last year on the opposition-controlled area of Douma near Damascus in which 43 people are said to have been killed by chlorine gas. The United States, Britain and France responded by launching airstrikes on targets in the Syrian capital.
Unpacking Media Propaganda About Bolivia’s Election

They also argue that he should not have been allowed to run again in the first place.
Pushing Back The Frontiers Of Malaria One African Collaboration At A Time
More than 200 million people around the world suffered from malaria in 2017. Over 400,000 died. The vast majority – around 90% – were in Africa, where many are all too familiar with the devastating impact of the disease. Young children and pregnant women are the most vulnerable. Protective measures can help significantly to reduce the burden. This includes spraying with insecticides and using mosquito nets. But 100% coverage using these methods is impossible. Until the disease is eradicated, availability of effective treatments is critical. read more
Is Your Child A Moody Teen Or Depressed? It Can Be Hard To Tell
For two-thirds of parents it can be hard to know the line between recognizing youth depression and making something special of teen moods, and perhaps enabling more problems. But there is no question America is the most over-medicated in the world, and one the most anti-depressants, and therefore it is little surprising that 25 percent of parents say their child knows a teen with clinical depression while 1 in 10 believe a peer of their child has committed suicide.
