Devastating Revelations About the Truth Behind the Destruction of MH17
On 17 July 2014 MH 17, a Malaysian airlines flight en route from Amsterdam in The Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia was shot down while in transit over Ukrainian airspace. Although there were no admissions as to culpability and at least initially very little factual data available, it did not stop an immediate blame game being promoted by the Dutch, Ukrainian and Australian governments. The Netherlands (189 citizens on board) and Australia (27 citizens plus some non-citizen residents), were together with the Malaysians (44 citizens) the countries to suffer the greatest losses.
Who Would Be Less Horrible As The Nominee (And President), Biden Or Cuomo?
In her exhausting Cuomo column yesterday, Maureen Dowd quoted a conversation she had with Bill Maher who said to her "I see Cuomo as the Democratic nominee this year. If we could switch Biden out for him, that’s the winner... He’s unlikable, which I really like." Yes, very unlikable, which normal people *don't* like, even if he and Dowd do. Dowd is aware that people dislike Cuomo. "Progressives still have problems with Cuomo’s stances on Medicaid and the criminal justice system," she wrote. "And some people thought that he waited too long to totally button up New York, although th... more »

*Fight the virus, not carbon* Often obsessive focus on climate wastes scarce money and distracts from real health crisis Paul Driessen and David Wojick The many trillions of dollars proposed to be spent under dubious “green new deals” should be spent instead (effectively and within reason) on health care, especially virus prevention, protection and cures. This is the gist of an “Open Letter to World Leaders” from the Climate Intelligence Foundation. The Foundation, or CLINTEL, makes this clear right up front: “Your Excellencies, compared to COVID-19, climate change is a non-probl... more »
Sunday morning music - coronavirus edition
Since we're all in a dither about the coronavirus pandemic, I thought it might be fun to laugh at our symptoms (medical and otherwise) with some musical medical humor. Let's start with a song that's only a few days old, inspired by the current pandemic. I think it's a great response to all the fuss. It's called "Quarantine", by Mat Best (co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company, with which Miss D. and I have a monthly subscription to keep ourselves caffeinated) and Tim Montana. What about a cure for coronavirus? Ray Stevens has a suggestion, dating back to 1961. An even... more »

Why Peace on the Korean Peninsula Won't Ever Come Easy
*Patrick M. Cronin* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Unless the coronavirus crisis is able to reduce the rift between South Korea and North Korea, the Korean Peninsula is likely to continue its slow reversion to the Cold War norm. Perhaps it never really moved far away from it. President Donald Trump’s offer to help North Korea combat the coronavirus pandemic is the right thing to do, but little is likely to come of the gesture. It is difficult to visualize Kim Jong-un grasping this opportunity after squandering so many these past two years. Indeed, will Korea ever realize peac... more »
