Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*Click to enlarge for easier reading* *by Noah* I'm all about making a better world. I've developed a new coronavirus test kit which I am marketing and suggesting for use exclusively by Trump supporters and Trump accomplices like those found in Congress. It consists of something everyone always has around the house. Hardly a closet in America is without at least one example of this fine technology (and we know how much republicans enjoy their closets). The beauty of my coronavirus test lies in its low cost and its simplicity. I can't believe this isn't being discussed on prime time... more »

Railing Against The Fox Virus?
By Tim Graham ~ The extra-large pack of journalists who equate liberalism and professionalism in their work product cannot stand that Fox News exists.

Coronavirus Is Risking China's Dream Of Global Leadership
*Joshua Eisenman, Devin Stewart* *Politics, Asia* The coronavirus pandemic has helped to loosen China’s grip on international opinion. One cloudy September morning in 2008, we were sitting in a conference room at a research institute in Beijing when, one after another, our hosts’ cell phones began vibrating on the table. The American investment bank Lehman Brothers had collapsed. The “Lehman Shock,” as it was called in parts of Asia, sparked what would be known as the Great Recession in the West. As our Chinese hosts looked up from their phones and back at our American delegatio... more »
Coronavirus: What New Symptoms Have Been Found?
*Carl Philpott* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] A loss of sense and smell have been reported as early symptoms. Symptoms of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) typically include a dry cough, fever and shortness of breath. But evidence is beginning to emerge from other countries and now from the UK that sudden loss of smell – and in some cases, taste – is an early indication of the novel coronavirus infection. So far, there is currently no hard evidence on this, although many have taken to social media to report smell loss alongside other COVID-19 symptoms. As yet, it ... more »

Enemies hiding under a bridge, bunkered down on a specific floor in a large building, seeking cover on the back side of a mountain ridge or moving to attack in an armored vehicle convoy --- are all now more vulnerable to U.S. strikes due to an emerging laser-guided artillery round that can destroy enemy targets on the move in combat. “We have many different experiments that are going on for l... more »

True story. Years ago, even before dudes wanted a Dell, a gaggle of Army generals gathered to ponder how to integrate computers into military operations.

America's New BLU-129 Bomb Is Turning Its Fighter Jets Into Snipers
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * The BLU-129 brings additional elements of attack flexibility to Air Force pilots. *Key point: *The BLU-129 is increasingly in demand because, among other things, it is capable of quickly tailoring its explosive charge depending upon the threat. The Air Force is revving up production of the air-dropped, precision-guided BLU-129 bomb increasingly in demand by warzone commanders - so accurate, lethal and precise, it is called “the world’s largest sniper accuracy.” The often-requested weapon, described as an adaptable carbon fiber bomb, is specially engin... more »

*Brian Boeding* *Security, * The A-10's close air support is unparalleled. *Key point:* The troops feel strongly that nothing is more important than a pilot dedicated to expertise in close support. Many Air Force senior officers contend that close air support (CAS) can be done by any platform that can launch a guided weapon at a set of target coordinates. Combat teaches otherwise. Troops who've needed and received close support in combat know how dangerous it is to think of targets as nothing but GPS coordinates. They found out the hard way that ... more »

The Masque of the Orange Death
The red death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the madness and the horror of blood.

American Suez?: The Costs Of Bombing Iran
Decaying empires behave badly. Late-stage imperial states easily fall prey to perilous insecurity and irrationality, and tend to lash out like wounded, cornered animals. Perhaps it must be so: naught but a collective macro-reflection of the human condition. Unfortunately, many thousands - often millions - of innocents tend to die at the denouement of empire. "Dirty wars" usually ensue during the imperial endgame. That time is near, it seems, for the American hegemon. There’s hardly “dirtier,” or nastier, proof of “bad behavior” than recent reports that Secretary of State Mike ... more »
