We Live In A Coronavirus World Now-- Did We Prepare By Elected Good And Competent Leaders?
*The Doctor Will See You Now* Trump's contribution to the national discussion on the pandemic this fine day: "It will go away, just stay calm. Be calm. It’s really working out. And a lot of good things are going to happen." People who listen to him-- see the graphic at the very bottom of the page-- are most likely to get sick. Old people who listen to him are most likely to die. That, tragically, is a kind of Darwinistic thinning of the herd. People my age who get Coronavirus seem to be prone to dying... and this morning NBC News reported that scientists aren't sure why-- nor are th... more »

New Mexico's New Red Flag Gun Law is a Threat to Freedom
*Amy Swearer* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] And it doesn't help those in need. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, recently signed controversial legislation that created the state’s first red flag law to take firearms from potentially dangerous people. Red flag laws, which now have been enacted by 18 states, allow courts to determine whether certain individuals are such a serious risk of danger to themselves or others that they should be temporarily disarmed. The basic concept of red flag laws makes some sense—they address specific threats instead of broa... more »

Why South Korea Doesn't Believe America Will Uphold Its Alliance Agreement

In recent years, the U.S. alliance with the Republic of Korea (ROK) has faced considerable pressure. The Trump administration is *insisting* that the ROK bolster its host-nation support for U.S. forces, demanding a five-fold increase in the ROK’s contribution much to the chagrin of Seoul. The Moon administration, meanwhile, has prompted concern in Washington due to its repeated diplomatic spats with Japan, th... more »

Fukushima Daiich Common Spent Fuel Building Leaking Steam/Gas?
I've posted before that the real story at Fukushima Daiichi has been the ongoing contamination of the ocean as the underground river and water injections at Daiichi lead to unstoppable "leakage" of highly contaminated water into the ocean. TEPCO has to inject water into the reactor buildings because, nine years after the disaster, the fuel is still so hot that it must be cooled or TEPCO risks radioactive fires. TEPCO has removed spent fuel from building 4 and some of that was re-located in the common spent fuel pool. You can see the common spent fuel pool in the screenshot below -... more »
Second Korean War Avoided: How the USS Pueblo Incident Nearly Led to Another Conflict
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2003%3Anewsml_PBEAHUORTBO&share=true] Why didn't Washington pull the trigger? *Key point:* Pyongyang attacked an American ship and did horrible things to its captured crew.
